Who May Not Like This Book:

Some readers may find the book too steamy or formulaic if erotic paranormal romance isn’t their usual thing. The damsel-in-distress trope and heavy reliance on physical attraction might feel repetitive after several series installments. A few have noted minor editing issues or compared it unfavorably to similar series (like Lora Leigh’s Breeds), feeling the storyline isn’t wildly original. Not the best fit for those wanting complex plots over romantic/sexual tension.

A hot, heartfelt, and action-filled romance that delivers everything New Species fans love - a must-read if you like alpha heroes, emotional journeys, and steamy sci-fi love stories.

From The Publisher:

*** THIS IS A RERELEASE OF A PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED BOOK ***

Dr. Joyce Yards has never met anyone as sexy or as irresistible as 466. He refuses to discuss anything except getting her naked beneath him. Their therapy sessions are growing hotter, his raw hunger for her is becoming aggressive, and she is falling for him. Joy knows the dire consequences if she gives in to desire. It will break her heart but she must walk away.

Moon has been drugged. He is feral and dangerous to everyone. The NSO doctors turn to the only female Moon ever cared about-the one who left him in the desert two years ago.

Moon isn't the same male Joy once knew but she is willing to put her life on the line for him. There are no rules now. If sex tames the wild beast and triggers his fractured memories, allowing him moments of lucidity, then Joy will give him her body and her soul. She'll do whatever it takes to save him.
