Dangerously unstable and exceptionally violent are definitely not qualities Stacia Dornan looks for in a mate, especially after the harrowing experience of having half of her jaw torn off by an adurian warrior. Yet, when she meets Prince Balfor to discuss a trade alliance between her father’s company and the umbrose, sparks immediately fly between them. Prince Balfor knows he’s fighting for his … fighting for his own sanity, and with so much responsibility weighing him down, he can’t afford to lose the battle, but when the fragile, scarred human named Stacia accidentally summons him to her bed, he cannot resist her call, despite the complications that will arise when he declares her his concubine.
Balfor and Stacia meet to secure the future of both their species, but their unexpected desire for each other could pose a threat to everything they hold dear. Even as the obstacles that stand in their way seem insurmountable, the greatest threat to their growing love lies beyond the shadows of Sanctuary, where their common enemy lies in wait.
Can Stacia and Balfor overcome their own pasts and prejudices to find love with each other, or will they fall to the enemy first?
Don’t miss the other books in this exciting, steamy romantic series, where the aliens aren’t just humans with a different-colored skin. They may look demonic, but these heroes know how to treat their mates like angels.

I’ve read all three books in this series so far, and while I found them wonderful in each their own way and will definitely re-read all of them, Balfor’s Salvation stands as my current favorite.
*Insert happy sigh here*
Gotta love a grumbly alpha male and a sassy leading lady, and Ms Susan writes them so well.
Give this series a shot. Worth the read!
I loved the first book in this series but this one, in my opinion, was even better.
This one featured Balfor the umbrose Prince and Stacia, Liliths best friend who was scarred and injured so severely while participating in the Prince’s rescue from his enemies.
Balfor is still suffering the effects mentally from his previous incarceration and his Primal (the baser part of himself) is running amok trying at times to take over control.
I definitely enjoyed the very different vibe that this had.
Balfor is much less tolerant of humans than Ranove despite his open fascination with Stacia and Stacia is also not at all what I had originally expected.
So much less hard-work and with much more depth to her character.
My favourite part of this was when we got up close and personal with Balfors Primal.
I really adored the interaction between Balfor and Stacia when he was in this primitive mind-set I think this was when I actually really fell for this couple.
We also get to dig down deep into the Umbrose world learning so much.
This really is a fascinating series with fabulous imagination and world-building.
A sort of futuristic fantasy sci-fi this really is innovative straddling various genres.
This is one series that I recommend highly its a fantastic read.

I really enjoyed the first book in this series, but this one blew it out of the water! Susan Trombley stepped it up a few notches with this Hero and Heroine. I love strong characters and these two complimented each other well. I struggled at first with why the umbrose would ever be interested in human mates (they are so different!), but Susan drags me into the world and makes me believe it. Looking forward to more in stories in this fascinating world.
Second in this dystopian/sci-fi/fantasy series
With prince Balfor rescued from the adruians and Back at sanctuary with his cello umberos everything should be good in their world? Right… wrong… having been rescued by his second in command R ( I still suck at names ) Lilith, Stacia and the commemoro rebels 2 years prior..the King finds himself struggling to keep his ‘primal’ ( thing HULK ) side under wraps, he needs to pull it together for his subjects no one knows this more than him… especially when he awakes from a primal rage discovering that he has killed all the Adurian labourers.
With an agreement made in place for an proposed alliance between the umbero and the Dornan industries to work on a trade between workers for materials… Balfor sees this as a way of getting something other than his primal side under his control… his thoughts of the injured private Dornan ( and heir ) of Dornan Industries that have stayed with him since his rescue and her brutal injury at the hands of an adurian. Once meeting their chemistry is uncharted and Stacia finds herself agreeing to be Balfor’s concubine… she has a long way to go to understanding the umbero and Balfor, and subsequently his primal side.
What can I say I’m a sucker for arrogant tortured heros and Balfor is all that and then some. I loved Stacia… she was a true ass kicking heroine and this book just expanded on her already great charachter that we met in book 1.
Another full throttle, action packed, blood thirsty ass kicking romance fest! And ultimately a all round fantastic book!!!
