Earth. A world quarantined since its discovery by the Far-Reachers of Jota’s history. And where the fortunes of slavers and chemists have been made ever since. It was to Earth that Kanetus E’Var, the son of Jota’s most ruthless slaver, escaped to make Vahst, a powerful drug manufactured from the human brain. And it was to Earth that Tagen Pahnee, Fourth-ranking officer of the Jotan Off-World … Security Fleet, was sent to bring the criminal back to justice. Neither of them could have anticipated that at that moment, E’Var’s hunting grounds were experiencing the worst heat wave in years, triggering the Jotan breeding cycle in both males. Home is not an option for either of them. Both are determined to find a way to work on this hostile planet, surrounded by humans, surrounded by dangers, surrounded by Heat. Adult readers only, due to graphic gore, violence, and explicit sexual situations.

PussnBooks.net Reviewing the darkest erotic books we can find.
How do you know you have found an excellent author? By not being able to put the book down even after realising it is nothing like the books you normally read!
That’s what happened the first time I read a book by R. Lee Smith. I had never read any kind of alien romance before and to be honest it was not something I would ever really want to. Until I read The Last Hour Of Gann.
R. Lee Smith is an amazing author. She pulls you in right from the beginning. Not that all of her stories start out with full-blown action, it’s just so well written.
The characters come alive instantly and you can feel everything along with them. I very rarely read books this long. 600 pages and The Last Hour Of Gann is over 1000! But it literally flew by!
Heat is awesome. There is so much in this book to talk about I almost don’t know where to start. So, I’ll start where I usually do. With the characters!
RAVEN – Ok, so Raven is a pretty cute character. I liked her immediately. She is an awesome mixture of wild and free. Untamed and smart. She’s also one tough cookie.
She certainly has to keep her wits about her after Kane abducts her and, she does so admirably. He drags her along with him everywhere he goes. Killing here, fucking there… At first, she is terrified and sick with disgust but after a while…well she’s still terrified and disgusted but, there’s something else there.
KANE – What a b**tard. Really. Some of the things this alien did had me twisting my wee face right up. Then again…others had me smirking just a little too.
He is one badass mother f**ker. Most definitely not to be messed with. He’s huge, highly sexed and demands respect and obedience. From the readers as well it would seem!
He really takes no shit from anyone but strangely has his own sense of order and respect? Or maybe just right and wrong?
Throughout the story, he quite often points out all of the things he finds wrong with the human race, and I’ll be honest, I completely agreed with him. Humans suck. Sometimes, anyway.
TAGEN – It took me a while to warm up to Tagen and to be honest I still didn’t find him appealing, lol. Not that that means he was badly written at all.
He is quite honestly the polar opposite of Kane. He is careful, calm, and honest. Bound by a sense of duty and code of honour. He has empathy and a clear sense of right and wrong.
He’s just a little too straight-laced for me. Too cautious. He is…admirable. But for me? I like a ruthless bad boy, ya feel me?
He comes to Earth searching for Kane and has no idea he’s going to go into Heat. After accidentally killing a couple of humans (which he feels really bad about) he finds Daria, and the fun and games begin.
They are quite honestly hilarious together, accidentally (and sometimes on purpose) insulting each other. Learning about one another made snort at several points.
DARIA – Daria is a bit of a recluse. Since being attacked violently six years ago she hasn’t really left the house and has quite severe anxiety and OCD it seems. So, you can imagine her distress when an Alien pops in unannounced.
She’s amusing and a bit of a spitfire when she gets going and quite honestly a “good” person. And so, is a great match for Teagan once they figure one another out a little that is.
SEX SCENES – Right. The sex scenes didn’t have the same kind of “oomph!” that most of the other books I review have. They are completely different.
They make you feel different, and that is not a bad thing. They are just as good (interesting really) but in an unusual way…I’m not explaining this very well, am I?
The scenes were sexy, passionate and extremely well written because you felt this even though they were alien dongs, ya know?
FINAL THOUGHTS – I really enjoyed this book. It kept me enthralled all the way through and I had absolutely no idea how it was going to end. I didn’t even know how I wanted it to end!
I would absolutely recommend this book if you are looking for something a little off the beaten path!
4.5 stars.
After reading a lot of R Lee Smith’s books … I’m well aware of the fact that they are not ‘light and fluffy’ reads…having seen a few warnings regarding this book I was prepared for the anti hero ( Kane) and his actions.
Should you require a TRIGGER WARNING… if space cops/robbers, death, murder, mayhem, human brain enzyme farming and Heat inspired fornication both consensual and non consensual is not your thing… then this book is defiantly NOT FOR YOU!!
Now this is a great read…don’t get me wrong…there was nothing wrong with this book at all in fact there’s a whole lot of great included in the pages! ( go on check out that trigger warning for all the good stuff!! ) And I absolutely loved the side by side comparison of Kane/raven and Tagen/Daria. Both love stories in their own way…the R Lee Smith way
I just didn’t get the same level of ‘feels’ from this book as I did from other books by the same author.
This is my second read from this author. I can’t stress enough how riveting her books are. Kane (the villain) completely engrossed me. Was I rooting for him ? No not really but I was completely fascinated with him. R Lee Smith writes a gripping story I can’t seem to put down. I will be reading through the rest of her books happily. Great read !
