absolutely loved this story!! It was a great read and I loved the characters, Shannon was a great heroine and I loved how she dealt with everything, I loved the characters together as well, This is theth book in the series and can be read as a standalone but if you have read the previous books you will know more of the characters and some more of the over arcing story.
This book gives you what you need to know to fully enjoy it, you will just pick up on more if you have read the previous ones.
I thought this was a great addition to the series, It fit in well but still felt like it's own story, I really adored the characters and the new introduction to the Izean, There is a twist in this story as well that I am really excited to see where it will take us next.
This story was written well and pulled me in from beginning to end with the characters, I loved the two of them together, I am super excited to get the next book in the series as well!
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
Love this series and, . .
Love this series and this is one of the best, So many secrets revealed, so much pain endured, Both Isan and Shannon have gone through so much in the past, physically and emotionally, that have scarred not only their bodies but their hearts and souls.
There is so much strength in both but a vulnerability that I found so touching especially as their pasts and Isans true parentage are revealed.
Dear Lord this book was sooooo good,
I absolutely love this series, This was Shannon and Isan's story, My gosh what a story, Shannon a human soldier on a mission to kidnap the Emperor, When all Heck breaks loose, Isan is the ship's head healer and proud warrior one look at the feisty red head and he knows she's his.
Only problem he not like the others, Danger is coming for them and secrets are to be revealed will they be able to weather the coming storm Or will they lose their selves in the massive waves Another healer
When he'd seen her on the monitors rescuing her boss from the cells , he knew she's the one.
She fought him tooth and nail and he'd laugh, But he did try to talk to her and to get to know her, A mission, trying to get answers about himself, finding out who his mother really is the emperor sister, fighting for his mate, she was tricked to come back to earth.
She realizing she loved him, She was his the moment she stepped aboard, He'll fight everyone, even the emperor himself, to keep her, . .
Like most Lathar, First Healer Isan K'Vass didn't expect to ever find his mate, The genetic plague that had ravaged their race meant they had no females, and his tainted bloodline meant he would be last in line for one of the rare human females.
Or it should.
Until a human combat team boards the Veralvias and he see's HER, Flame haired. Curvy. Dangerous. And all his, if the secrets in his blood don't tear them apart first, . .
Aliens should not be hot, At all. Not ever.
Shannon Taylor had one thing on her mind when she boarded the alien vessel, Her mission. But no plan survives first contact with the enemy and her rescue mission goes sideways quicker than a cat on a hot tin roof.
Finding herself the prisoner of the Lathar, and one, hot as hades healer in particular, she needs to keep her wits about her if she's ever going to get herself the hell of this alien ship.
However, the Lathar aren't as bad as she'd been told and it's all she can do to remember that Isan, her sexy healer, is the enemy.
Only he's not, he kisses
like a dream, and they end up on the same side on a mission into dangerous territory to root out an enemy to both their people.
But treachery lurks in the shadows and when Shannon is betrayed, will her warrior reach her in time.
Or is their happilyeverafter over before it could begin This story has really got some intense emotional meat to it.
Sure there is the mating/claiming aspect but for me it was all Isan K'vass' story,
Isan K'Vass isnd only to Laarn K'Vass as healer aboard the Veral'vias but he hides a secret deep within himself that threatens all he holds dear his bloodline.
His father Raalt of Parac' Norr is the leader of the dreaded Izaea,
berserkers to the max who all lay claim to the Blood Rage a madness without equal.
And into this mirage of madness the fiery situation enters the unsuspecting redhaired little human Shannon Taylor,
The intertwining of passions, politics, unacknowledged and unacceptable family connections,
and an emperor with flaws even he doesn't want to admit to.
An error in mishandling of this familial situation takes the reader on a emotional roller coaster ride of intense reading.
An excellentth book in this Latharian series, Shannon Taylor is on a doomed mission to kidnap the Emperor of the Lathar, Immediately she is claimed by Isan K'Vass, He wants to claim her but is hesitant that his genetics will prevent them from being together, It takes Isan's genetic heritage to rescue Shannon when she is betrayed by other humans,
Really liked this one, The previous books weren't bad but I was beginning to not like them as much, Purchased this andat the same time, and wasn't impressed with either, This one was slightly better than the other because the "blood rage" warriors were interesting, as was the view of the factory city on Earth.
Well, depressing, but also interesting, Which is actually, ironically, rather frust straightening out all that is wrong with the factory city way of life would probably make an interesting scifi book or duology/trilogy in its own right, but isn't the sort of thing that will ever get fully fleshed out and investigated in a romance series.
It's just not the focus, I do suspect that Shannon's onetime friendthe doctor in the factory citywill be a love interest in a subsequent novel, so the factory city will certainly be revisited, but how this came to be a thing on Earthand also why a company would abandon multiple levels after investing the money into themis unlikely to ever be fully explored.
Also,
I take exception to the current trend toward producing rambling, poorly planned out, neverending series of books which seemingly just drag on to milk the reader for more money.
Authors should know where their series are going, and individual books within a series should add something to the work as a whole.
With respect to Warriors of the Lathar, the first book introduced a group of characters who were obviously going to be paired off in subsequent volumes.
Great! But instead of doing that, we keep getting two and three volume sidetracks,
Now, the first time made a certain degree of sense: of course they sent someone to retrieve Lizzie, and of course that opened a can of worms or two, because the Lathar are really bad at tact, stealth, and patience.
Sorry, guys. Those just aren't your fortes, Negotiating for Lizzie, or using Jess to retrieve her, would arguably have been far more sensible than kidnapping her.
But they did it the Lathar way, which both created a diplomatic incident, and resulted in Jac and Amanda meeting their own guys.
Ok, fine. But: did Jac and Amanda need separate novels to tell their stories I don't actually remember there being that much that happened in either.
Did the fallout of that incident need to cover three books and counting, with only this one making progress toward resolving it Numberadded absolutely nothing to the larger story, andandfeel like they exist primarily to introduce more characters to be used later.
This is especially grating considering that we still haven't seen what happened with Lizzie, and unless he's going to be hooked up with Shannon's doctor friend or Lizzie herself, there's no prospective love interest on the horizon for the emperor.
Ten volumes in and still no hint of an empress! Foolishly, I've kept reading these expecting at least some hints toward what's going on, but there's been nothing.
No female character who seems to have caught the emperor's attention, No news of Lizzie, And I'm tired of being strung along, .
