Author’s Warning
Though I have tried to handle it in a delicate way, readers with a past history of domestic abuse may find parts of this book disturbing. Sadly, many of the situations my heroine encounters are taken from true accounts of abused women. If you are in an abusive situation, please seek help.

Emotional and Dangerous Mission on a Male Dominated Planet!!
Reeve is an M-Switch Kindred which means he can temporarily take over the body of another male. Usually the male will fight back, but they found a highly placed General in a coma and hope Reeve can infiltrate and prevent those on Hascion Five from creating their wormholes and spreading throughout the galaxy. They are rather abhorrent and treat their females like property; very contrary to the Kindred beliefs. Buying and selling females at whim and treating them with beatings and abuse.
Nallah has been married three years. It met none of her expectations, and each day was spent trying to avoid her husband’s heavy fists. When he suddenly awakens from his coma he is gentle and kind, leaving her confused yet hopeful. An emotional journey for both our spy and our heroine as the fate of many hang in the balance.
This book comes with a warning, as the treatment of females is brutal. This is an excellent read, and as our hero is working to save not only Nallah but others in her situation we can sheer for the “good guys” even harder in this story. High heat is also found in this story.
*** I am voluntarily leaving my honest review of this book ***
I listened to the audible version of the story and the narrator did a fantastic job. However, when it comes to this author she does not disappoint when it comes to this series. I did find this story a bit darker being that Nallah’s husband Harris abused her both physically, emotionally and verbally but I was happy that he wasn’t around much due to Reeve. Reeve treats Nallah like she has only dreamed of being treated and I enjoyed them together. This story was a great addition to this series and I’m looking forward to the next book.
Another great story in this series.
Reeve is a switch Kindred and his mission is to take over the body of someone important on another planet. He didn’t expect to fall in love. Could this damage his mission? The treatment of women in this world is brutal. I kept wondering how on earth the author could make this work. Let me tell you, she did and I loved it.
Loved the characters.
A really great story of a man lonely and not wanted and a woman the same who find each other through unusual events. Which results in a happy ending.

This is and continues to be an excellent series. This author’s books are always fresh and new. This is an intriguing story about a woman in an abusive relationship. When her husband goes into a coma she hopes he doesn’t wake up. When he does it’s like he is a stranger. This is an awesome read and I would definitely recommend it.

This is one series I never get enough of. Just when you wonder if the author can get any more creative she proves to you she can. I just love the M-Switch Kindred in this book. Reeve J’lorn was one sexy caring guy.
Now this story does have a trigger warning and for good reason. Nallah who lived on Hascion Five was an in an abusive relationship. Most women on this planet were not consider a person but property. They were used, beaten, and wrapped. They were considered worthless and this women truly felt worthless. It was truly a very sad situation.
I loved reading about Reeve falling in love with Nallah. He truly hurt for the pain she went through. He wanted to give her justice for the pain her husband had caused her. He truly felt the pain when he saw the hurt, pain, and fear every time she looked at him. See Reeve was in her husband’ body. He had a special job he was suppose to do for the Kindred on the mothership.
This is truly a great story. I truly hope the author does some more future books on the M-Switch Kindred.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout I voluntarily read and review this ARC no monetary compensation was received the opinions I have expressed are my own. As usual this series doesn’t disappoint I absolutely loved everything about it. This was a enjoyable and entertaining read with plenty of intrigue, action, and of course steamy romance. But that’s not all and since I’m not one to give spoilers you’ll just have to check it out for yourself to see what I’m talking about. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
I enjoyed reading this book , it has a great storyline. 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.
Quite possibly the best Kindred Tales. The romance part of the plot made more sense for waiting and it was less annoying. AND the sexual situations were all wanted without lame excuses for giving in to lust. So nice! Still a couple situations where you had to suspend your logic, but overall, fun and entertaining and sexy!
