Athena Storm is a master of her craft, I look forward to all her books. This wonderfully well-written book is the 2nd book in the “Soldiers of Hope Series” and I loved the first book also. She wakes up in a cryogenic chamber only to find some criminals opening the pod up for the purpose of raping her. As she recovers and can focus, she uses her mind to help her escape. When she is running outside trying to find water and food, she hears gun fire in the distance. She heads for the sound hoping to find a way to die quickly, but she actually finds him, an alien who seems to be buried under a building, but is alive. Can they trust each other to survive and to love. This amazing story has emotion, adventure, characters facing bleakness, suspense, some amusing scenes, heated passion and HEA. This books has intrigue, suspense, drama, twists & turns, adventure, action, attraction, love, steamy scenes, and is a Must Read.

This book is entertaining, action packed and thoroughly enjoyable and filled with intrigue. The chemistry between the characters of Megan and Tsurk is wonderful. I can’t wait for more from this author. I received this book as a FREE ARC copy to read and I voluntarily leave this review.
Love is in the air or atmosphere. .. it is time for Tsurk To get his mate. It’s a long time coming. I think that this couple consisting of Tsurk and Regan are the dynamite couple of fun, crazy and what the what?! Good read.

Athena Storm has me hooked! I love this series so hard. They have written engaging characters that one can not help route for in this gruesome, yet hopeful society.
Regan and Tsurk are great to read in a scene together. Their chemistry is sudden, but primal in a way that fits where they are in their own stories as the book begins. I loved reading how they evolved.
Unfortunately, I did not give the full Five stars because the version I received needs more editing. Although it does not affect my rating, I warn readers while each book is a standalone, I have trouble following the overall story arch that continues with each new story. So, unlike me, readers should try to read the series in order.
Ultimately, I recommend this to those who like Sci-fi with romance, action and thriller mix together. I enjoyed the story and can’t wait to read what’s next!
I received an ARC version of the book for my honest opinion of this tale.
Reagan and Tsurk have an action packed story that is fun to read. This is well written and has a great plot. The pace is fast and has a followable storyline. This a great read.
I am voluntarily leaving an unbiased, honest review.
I found out there are 2 writers doing the series but somehow it works, It takes me a little while to get into the whose who the first couple chapters but it quickly gets into the meat of the story. I loved the characters interaction with each other but semi spoiler alert I was very upset when one the characters died.\Loved the concept of the stories and will continue to keep reading

This story is about Regan and Tsurk. They are fighting for hope and peace. Regan uses her head to escape from criminals that are intent on raping her. As Regan is looking for food and water she hears gun fire in the distance. That’s where she ends up finding Tsark, who’s buried under a building who’s still alive. Their adventure is full of danger but they find that if they work together they will find something amazing. There is laughter, excitement, sorrow, fear and steam but there is a story and not just steam. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I am really enjoying all the different stories in this universe. Tsurk, an Odex goes on a mission to New Rio to get Faith’s kids. There he meets Regan who has psychic abilities. Great story with the Reapers causing mayhem, a rescue and love between Tsurk and Regan.

This was my first book I read in the “Soldiers of Hope” series so I did not know what to expect. Regan a human women that awakens in a cryogenic chamber in the city New Rios is surrounded by ruffians uses her powers to escape. Tsurk, Odex soldier who is assigned to bring Faith’s kids and the refugees back to their camp. In the city Tsurk gathers the kids and as they board the ship they get fired on. To escape Tsurk gives a order to go and leave him behind when the building gets blasted and he is buried under concrete rubble. Regan who was experimented on by her fiancé Richard to bring forth her Psionic Powers walks dazed and confused, not knowing what she sees is reality hears a boom and goes to investigate. With her powers she senses a life under the concrete rubble and starts digging and uncovers Tsurk. Will they trust each other? Regan and Tsurk were on the opposite of the rainbow in their beliefs and ideals but made a wonderful romantic couple in this story with twists and turns, action and romance.

On a mission to rescue children stranded in the city and hiding from Reapers, Tsurk and his team find the kids and finally get them away from the danger. But Tsurk is left behind and caught under a collapsing building. Regan is a human also stranded on Armstrong. She pulls him out of the rubble and tends his injuries.
Tsurk has a very positive attitude of hope and protection for others, and it starts influence Regan, helping her get rid of her constant anger and sense of betrayal. For once, she can begin feel hope again. Will they escape the past? Will they find a life together?
This was a surprisingly emotional story! In difficult surroundings, the characters dealt with their issues, yet each had goodness still inside that made the reader hope they could find peace and acceptance in each other. It looked like maybe they were beginning to find it. Grab your copy and see what their future holds.
This is an action packed story that grabs your attention and holds it. Armstrong is trying to become a place of peace and the working of several races for the good of all. Regan, who has endured torture at the hands of her fiancée has escaped his clutches and is on the run. She saved Tsurk when a wall collapsed on him. The story is also about the budding relationship between Tsurk and Regan the love that they find in the end. The story is a continuation of the last story and the build up to the next one. It is a great read and I would highly recommend this book.
The second book in the Soldiers of Hope series a great story that kept me turning pages. This is Regan and Tsurk’s story there is suspense, drama, danger, twists, turns, a evil Brain, villains, the death of a friend, and romance. I want to read the next book.

This is the second book in the series but it can be read as a stand-alone. Tsurk is an Odex soldier who is trying to save refugees when he is injured. Regan was experimented on to bring out her powers and rescues Tsurk. Will they be able to save each other? Fast-paced sci-fi read with plenty of drama and steam. I liked the characters and the story has plenty of action and drama. A good read.
Regan was under the control of her fiancé who experimented on her in his lab. Tsurk is a soldier sent on a mission to rescue children on Armstrong. Regan finds herself wandering around Armstrong not knowing how she got there, but with extraordinary psychic powers. Loved this story and can’t wait for the next book in the series.
