Publisher's summary

The retrieval mission was supposed to be simple. Get in, get the human females, kill the slavers, and get out. As a former High Commander of the Kordolian Imperial Military, Ikriss Peturic has seen - and done - much worse.

But one female in particular has been treated a lot more badly than all the others.

As he took her away from her tormentors, carrying her in his arms, she hovered between life and death. Now she is safe. He should be able to forget about her. A new threat has appeared, and he has work to do.

So why is he so angry and restless all of a sudden? Why can't he focus?

Why do the bases of his horn-buds throb?

What is this cursed madness?

Contains mature themes.

Amazing

Anna Carven and JF Harding nothing can compare to them. absolutely fire, spice and and fierce.

The Kordolian High Commander and the baker

I liked this story of High Commander Ikriss who finds a human woman who was with slavers and had been badly beaten. He helps her and can’t stop thinking about her after that, he eventually goes into mating heat after returning Sienna to her home on Earth. Sienna is quite a character on her own. She owns a restaurant that serves real food that she prepares the old way with fresh ingredients instead of with a food synthesizer like most places. She had taken out a loan from the syndicate and has her own troubles.

I loved that a lot of this one took place in space and they went all over together. The characters were great and I am really liking the world of the Kordolians lately. These books are good, there are too series I have been reading, The Darkstar Mercenaries and the Dark Planet Warriors. Both series are great and have some terrific storylines.

This book was narrated via solo narration by J.F. Harding, and I usually don’t like solo narration, but I would rather it be done by a male narrator than a female, for some reason. J.F. Harding did a good job and I like his voice so overall this was a great one to listen to via audiobook.

What Next?

The enemy has emerged from behind the scenes and things are getting heated. The MMC is hot, haughty and extremely dangerous. He has come back from death and his only thought is to protect his beloved! Ooh wee was this one good!

Another great story!

Anytime I find a book, especially a series , where I enjoyed the story enough to read it again, I will usually go for the audio. Enjoying the book does not mean I will enjoy the audio if the narrator does not do a good job. JF Harding is a fabulpus narrator and I was happy he read the Dark Star Mercenary series. If a narrator can make both the female and male characters sound convincing then I am sold ! Anna Craven is such a good story teller and his voice brings them to life!

another great addition

protective over the top badass warriors who fight to protect their mates. good world building, unique characters. the narration is really good even on the female voices. it was interesting seeing a second division guy this time, looking forward to the next one.

What happens next?

After reading this book, I am nervous for all the characters including the ones for the books i have already read! What can they do to fix this mess! I also really like the FMC, she was not the typical.

Unexpectedly good

Love how the emotions of each character are described for each character. And the slow burn works well for this storyline

Great continuation of Dark Star Series

Great continuation of Dark Star Characters. We learn more of the other commanders. Great beginnings of new battles to come.

Pretty Good

I like this genre of books; had a good storyline and the narrator did a good job with characters. No abrasive females thank God. Looking forward to listening to the next book whenever it is released.

Great storyline!!!

Another amazing book from this series and a very talented author!!! Truly enjoyed every moment of it!!! I could listen to this series forever and never get tired of it!!!
