When a renegade thief and a genetically enhanced mercenary collide, space gets a whole lot hotter!Thief Kara Shimsi has learned three lessons well – keep her head down, her fingers light, and her tithes to the syndicate paid on time.But now a failed heist has earned her a death sentence – a one-way ticket to the toxic Waste outside the dome. Her only chance is a deal with the syndicate’s most … Her only chance is a deal with the syndicate’s most ruthless enforcer, a wolfish mountain of genetically-modified muscle named Davien.
The thought makes her body tingle with dread-or is it heat?
Mercenary Davien will do whatever it takes to get back into space. The last thing he wants is a smart-mouthed thief – even if her scent drives him wild – and she may have the clue he needs to hunt down whoever destroyed his home.
Caring is a liability. Desire is a commodity. And love could get you killed.
Given is the first science fiction romance novel in The Star Breed series. No cliffhangers, no cheating, HEA guaranteed!

My first book by Elin Wynn and I loved it! Full of action and sweet romance, it had me flipping pages fast! Can’t wait to read more in the series.
A great start to a great series!
The world has gone to hell in a handbasket in the future. Kara has it hard and it doesn’t look to get any better as long as she stays in the dome. For being a bad a$$ thief, everyone loves her. She is given to Devian as punishment for not paying her tithe to the criminal running the city. Devian is a created being, part of an experiment on the Daedulas spaceship. After escaping an attack on the ship, all he wants is to get off the planet and find “Doc” and his brothers. They have three days to come up with her tithe. There are so many things happening and not much of it is good. She never thought that she had any family, so I was so pleased when she realized that wasn’t so. They may not be blood, but they are chosen family. I love that her mind wanders towards Devian all too often and Devian can’t stop thinking about her. They survive too many beatings and close calls, never giving up hope. Even with everything they go through they make time to examine their feeling for each other and steal a bit of quality time together. I volunteered to read an advanced reader copy and am under no obligation to leave this review.
Building their own pack
This book is a fantastic SciFi adventure! The pages are filled with strong female characters and the perfect guys to compliment them. The author kept the story moving with lots of danger and action while keeping the characters real and easy to connect with. These two had to fight an uphill battle, but they made it to their HEA with more room for adventure in the future. I am really looking forward to the next book to see what happened to the rest of the pack and how these two far in their brand new world. You won’t want to miss this fantastic beach read.
First read by this new to me author. I can happily state that this book was a fantastic action packed SciFi adventure that was both interesting and original.
I like the whole thief planet concept and the ‘living in the dome’ I thought it was an interesting play on a theme I’ve only seen in movies previously… which made the authors world building that much more skilful because I already had a mental picture in my head… which the author blew out of the water with a few very well constructed chapters. Everyone has to pay a price to the boss… you don’t pay you get hunted down and forced to pay or thrown out in to the ‘waste’ outside the dome. Which added a futuristic and dystopian vibe that I totally dug! Throw in some orphans, a Fagin-esq mob boss and hell yes there’s me as Oliver asking ‘please sir can I have some more’
The two main characters were pretty great too, their connection was a constant push and pull that was both funny and filled with chemistry. Although I could have done with more information regarding our Hero Davin but i get that this is the first in series and is setting a plot and dangling a juicy carrot to find out more.
This is a series I will be continuing to read more of.
Engaging – Unique – Suspenseful –
An excellent start to a series
Elin Wyn built an incredible world with strong characters and believable possibilities (it is sci-fi fantasy) and scenarios
We start on the edge of our seats and stay that way through out the story –
Kayra – our heroine – is smart, dedicated and one snarky sexy handful
Davien – a little bit of good in every bad boy – is looking only to survive and find his way back to his pack – but you know how life is – things don’t always go as planned
An action packed read that will satisfy the hungriest of sci fi lovers
