Who Would Like This Book:

The chemistry between Brawn and Becca sizzles off the page, and their journey from reluctant roommates to something much deeper is both heartfelt and spicy. If you adore books that mix action-packed drama, emotional growth, and some serious romance, give this one a try - especially if you already enjoy series like Lora Leigh’s Breeds.
Who May Not Like This Book:
Readers who dislike stories with a lot of explicit content or aren’t keen on the "fated mates" trope might feel overwhelmed. The pacing can sag a bit in the middle, and some felt the communication issues between characters were frustrating. If you're not into alpha male dynamics or find themes of captivity and forced situations uncomfortable, you may want to skip this one. Some also noted that the book borrows heavily from similar series, so if you're looking for something totally original, this might not be your pick.

One look at Brawn, and Becca is wondering how he'd look without his clothes. He's also instantly attracted to her, but has sworn never to touch a human female.
They just aren't sturdy enough for the type of rough sex Brawn enjoys most. When he learns he'll be living under the same roof with Becca, Brawn simply sees it as a chance to broaden his knowledge of humans.
Hopefully he can do so while keeping his hands off her…
His good intentions go astray when they're both kidnapped and locked together in a cage. Brawn finds himself reliving a nightmare when he's once again subjected to breeding experiments at the hands of New Species' enemies-who will use Becca to get what they want.
Brawn and Becca will have to depend on each other if they hope to survive.

Brawn is trapped inside a nightmare when he once again finds himself at the hands of his tormentors, but this time he has a human to look after and the strength of his feeling leads to him giving in to his captors to save her and falling for her at the same time.
When Becca's father unknown to her interferes with their budding relationship and tentative friendship they both think they'll never see each other again until a surprise has Becca on the run and inevitably brings them back together.
These two deserved their happily ever after but I really wanted to slap her dad on the back of the head for interfering and definitely think Becca should have drawn out Brawn's misery a bit longer :)
