Jade
I gave my heart away when I was too young to know better.
The idealized version of the man I love is forever burned into my memory. I joined the military to deal with the rejection. He’s moved on without me, and I can’t imagine that anyone else will ever compare.
So, I serial date. I’m not sure if I’m expecting to find someone like him or trying to forget him. Either way—it isn’t working.… forget him. Either way—it isn’t working.
After all, I just want to be taken seriously. He never even considered that my feelings could be real. I’m smart enough and old enough now! But instead of finding someone new, the excessive dating has made me a target for the men on the base. I’m considered a conquest.
A chance meeting at the bar has me rethinking my “frigid” reputation. For the first time, I encounter someone who not only makes me feel alive—but impassioned. He’s mysterious and sexy, and my body tingles with awareness, excitement … and lust.
For the first time, I’m considering giving someone—who may be gone tomorrow—my “V” card.
Desin
I’ve never had my affection reciprocated.
My love is forbidden in our society. Something that I only shared with my closest friend due to the taboo nature of my feelings. It wasn’t meant to be for so many reasons—including the fact that she didn’t return my devotion.
All I want is someone to care about me and only me. I know I can’t have what all Sinth dream of—a family. It’s simply not a possibility in our society, and I like to think I’ve come to terms with that.
I meet Jade while my squad is searching for our missing team member, Mavin. But then we’re split up because a potentially devastating virus shows up on Earth. It becomes more important than ever to figure out how to protect the humans—especially as I realize that what I felt before was a pale imitation of what lust and attraction truly are. Saving her life in a warehouse “accident”, I give her not only a second chance at life—but myself, as well.
But for how long? As we continue to look for the source, will the Wen virus keep spreading and decimate the entire planet?

This is a good series. The story is interesting and well written. The characters have depth and are likeable. The narration is good. I throughly enjoyed this story!
Sinth Strain is an original and imaginative Sci-Fi Romance series by Pearl Tate. Humanity is supposed to be under the protection of the “Grays”. However, humans are getting abducted and taken to other planets and, now, an alien virus has been brought to Earth that threatens all life on the planet. While all this is happening, Earth’s people are being kept in the dark about the existence of aliens.
Sinth Guardians have come to Earth to search for a missing fellow Guardian (from the prequel, Sinth Savior) but are side tracked by having to help the government try to contain an alien viral outbreak since they are uniquely qualified to help with this type of problem.
Desin is one of the Sinth Guardians trying to help with the outbreak. Jade is in the military and works at the top-secret base that is hosting the Sinth Guardians. Desin feels an instant attraction to Jade and suspects that she might be his mate. This is a big deal because it has been a long time since the Sinth people felt the mating pull and, up to now, were only able to procreate via cloning. As Desin and Jade work toward their HEA, they also start to uncover what might be a conspiracy that will be addressed in a future book.
The series is getting more interesting with each additional story.
I loved this book just like the prequel and the first book. It took me a while to get through but it’s worth it. I loved the narrators voices too. Pearl Tate never disappoints
Great performances by these two. The story was awesome and I enjoyed how the narration brought it to life.
Review for Audiobook version.
This is the third book in the Sinth Strain Series, a Sci-Fi alien romance, and fates mates romance. This story is interconnected Sinth Savior (Amy and Mavin’s story), and Sinth Seeker (Teresa and Payak’s story), and I recommend to listen to this series in order. Jade and Desin’s story is sweet, sexy, and filled with suspense and intrigue. Pearl Tate and Rodney Steele did a great job with the duet narration. I love their voices together. They have the perfect voice has Jade and Desin. Looking forward to listen to the next book in the Series, Sinth Seized. #StoryOrigin
I loved listening to this audiobook! The characters were very well developed. We’ve all been in a situation where we’re felt romantic interest for someone who did not return the emotions. This was a classic case of both Jade and Desin having that particular problem. I was relieved when they both realized what they had in one another was a 1 of a kind, genuine affection and love for each other. I must say the AI, Lana, worked some dirt and it has me wondering if they know more than they are letting on. There were a few places during the reading that the reader would have an extended pause, so much so I’d quickly checked my phone and make sure it was still playing. Also I’d love for the characters to sound more relaxed and less robotic, thankfully this did not take away from the material and essence of the story. Overall this a great audiobook and I Leo’s definitely recommend it.
I enjoyed this story. The characters are interesting and we get to read about their past as well. The plot is well-built, and the book is full of mystery, romance, and action. We see two couples in this book, Jade and Desin, and Teresa and Payak, although the book is primarily about Jade and Desin. I found the story quite original and I look forward to the next book.

There’s something weird going on. Jade gets a container containing an unknown substance. The paperwork is not in order. She’s suspicious. Desin is an alien on a team searching for a missing member. When they meet there is an instant spark and soon after Jade runs into trouble and Desin saves her. But there’s a virus that’s even more dangerous.
Well plotted and does work as a stand-alone but you’ll want to read book 1 as well. There are aliens and bad guys and a mystery. I’m ready for more.
3.5 Stars
The story line was good and the book had a smooth flow to it. The character work was great. The book kept me entertained from beginning to end. I look forward to the next one.
