Description
Taken captive, experimented on, and rescued by a mysterious bounty hunter…all things Zula, The Pittsburgh’s second-in command, didn’t have on her to-do list. She isn’t worried though. After all, as a Galvraron, she has her superior logic to rely on. At least she did….Suddenly Zula finds her cognitive skills compromised by a device that puts her emotions in control, turning her entire world upside down. Add in the fact that she’s forced to spend time with a man from her past, and soon Zula finds herself wondering: How does one fight adversaries such as love and lust? And does she really want to?

I love this series! This is another great addition to this series! Fun and entertaining! The romance is sweet, and I loved the connection between Zula and Kane. I love the sci-fi aspects, and getting to know more about different types of aliens. I’d recommend reading the previous books before this one because it features characters from the previous books, and it adds to the enjoyment!
I listened to the audio book for each of the books in this series, and overall, I enjoy the narration, but after listening to the previous 2 books with the same narrator, the characters blend together a bit. The same inflections, same speech patterns, so even though all the female characters are different in personality, it doesn’t come across in their speech. I also wish there was a wider variety of emotion to her performance, all the characters seem as if they are being sarcastic all the time. During the parts where the events are rather dire, or felt more heartfelt, I would’ve liked for there to be a more emotional tone to the narration. Overall though, she did a good job and I do enjoy the audio experience.
This book picks up where the last left off, Zula has been taken to be tested on. Zula is a Galvraron, which is a very intelligent species, but also emotionally closed off. Zula is a bit different than the normal Galvrarons, she’s not quite as closed off as the rest of the Galvrarons, but still shows restraint on her emotions. The beings who have taken Zula have put a device on her neck that makes her feel emotions deeper, so she’s not quite herself. Luckily for Zula, she is rescued by bounty hunter, Kane. These 2 have some hot chemistry, but Zula thinks her desire for Kane is only because of the device on her neck. Kane has some of his own things going on, so these 2 aren’t quite sure what to make of how they feel. Let the adventure ensue!
Loved seeing more of the starship gang! Lots of fun action! Unique and Interesting, and I’m really looking forward to the next book!

Things have gotten better . . . more of more
Say it isn’t so. Zula kidnapped. Zula. Ms. Logic. Well besides being kidnapped Zula gets implanted with a device that gives her the emotions that she did not display. I will not say she did not have them. I just saying she did not show them. Okay. Back to the kidnapping. She gets kidnapped and then rescued. During this time, she finds that the emotions that have been implanted changes her.
With this addition to the series, we get Zula and her past and present, we get a new sexy would be hero, we get some new twist, new races, new laughs, new action and drama. The series has certainly evolved forward. There’s growth from the first two books. It changes have added an extra layer of flavor and holds you to look forward for the next book in the series.
Narration Review . . . Ashely Holt has picked up her game with this installment. There was something a little different but not unpleasant. I find that I feel a bit more drawn to the voices she has created for he characters. There was more of a focus with the newer characters created in this installment. I am finding a connection with her and this series.
