I absolutely love this series about the Detyen warriors. As a Detyen nears his 30th birthday, he must find his Denya (mate) or he will die. There is an option to become soulless, extending their lives in a sort of emotionless existence where they carry out assignments for the Legion until they are “retired” (disposed of). This one has a different twist because Stoan was an orphan who meets the female he believes will become his mate. They are separated and he continues now to search for her, regardless of the fact that he has just found his true Denya when he was assigned a spy mission with Reina.
Reina’s problem is that, even though she was divorcing her now deceased husband, she is not sure she should be feeling such attraction to someone else after just losing her husband. Since Stoan seems determined to stay away from her, they are not yet giving in to acceptance of each other as Fate has decreed. Neither of them realized that an uncontrollable passion would arise as their bond grew stronger. How long will they continue to try to resist?
There is plenty of danger and suspense as the two of them carry out their deadly mission. But Stoan is protective of Reina no matter what the risk to him. And they have strong feelings that will soon need to be acknowledged!
Good read full of suspense, action, plot and romance. I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Stoan is a spy for Nina, but when he meets his Denya, everything goes by the wayside. Reina doesn’t want this mission and doesn’t know if she trusts him. But Nina has given them their orders, and they will obey. This is another winner in this wonderful series!
I enjoyed reading this book , it has a good storyline, and is filled with action, adventure, and intrigue. The interaction and chemistry between the characters of Reina and Stoan 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.
Reina is paired up with Stoan for a secret mission. The planet is divided by two overlords and theirs has them retrieve a box from the other overlord. This is an interesting story line with intrigue, drama, an old friend reappears and lots of love.

Adventure, action and love
This story has everything: spy intrigue, fated mates, sexy aliens, a reluctant male and a strong female. I especially liked how they got to know each other in their dreams, it lends credibility to the speed and depth of relationship. I’ll definitely look for more of Kate Rudolph’s books in the future!
I really love this series. I especially like that each characters book is a standalone so you can dip in and out of it, I’ve read quite a few of the books but certainly not them all, and not in order.
This book didn’t disappoint, it has a enjoyable storyline which draw me in, with great characters, both of which were briefly met in a previous book. It was well written, light and easy to read, a good length, with a little bit of light suspense. What’s not to love if you like these kind of books.
When I started reading this story, I could not put it down. I read the book in one day. This author is an awesome writer. I can not wait to read more of their books. Keep up the great work. You should definitely read this book.

Excellent story. A lot of danger, but being a spy is dangerous. I do like the way this turned out. I also think that the next story might be about Stoan’s friend Inrit. I received a complimentary review copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Fun alien romance with a sweet mate connection. Stoan is a teal alien, who has been tasked with finding what a certain key opens up, but that item happens to be in enemy territory. Human Reina must also go on this quest with Stoan, but she’s dealing with some past strife. Stoan knows right away that Reina is his destined mate, but he’s not fully on board for it. He still holds out hope that there’s a possibility he will find his missing childhood friend and that she will also be a mate for him, so he can choose her. He had a connection with his friend and they both had hopes that when they were older they would be together; plus, he doesn’t really want a human as his mate. So, that’s a bit disappointing that Stoan kept Reina at a distance, but it’s nice how he begins to see more and more how much Reina suits him. Reina and Stoan do have some super sweet moments; loved the shared dreams scenario, but I wish Stoan was a bit more upfront with Reina and himself. There’s some good passion and steam going on between Reina and Stoan. Loved the alien scenario and the info about the different planets and such; it can slow the story down some, but does a good job of building the world up. Also, enjoy the bit of danger added to the story. I’ve read a few of Rudolph’s book and have enjoyed all of them, so I’ll definitely continue reading her books. Fun alien adventure with a sweet and steamy romance!
This story makes me think of a trust exercise popular in the 1980s, where someone close their eyes and face away from a group, then fall backwards trusting the team to catch before that person drop to the floor. I wonder if this exercise will help this two?

Stoan and Reina’s story is very good. Stoan fought his feelings from the first moment and gave it a valiant effort but there was no fighting nature. This is my third book in this series and I have enjoyed each one. The age limit is a new thing for aliens that I have read. I feel sorry for those who do not find their denya in time. The action in this book is stunning and a little funny, I was wondering as I started reading if Reina would get some training. Just as I thought it Stoan sends her to get some. With an old friend coming on the scene it makes it that much more complex. I was really happy with this book and would recommend it to all.

I like this addition to the series
This book was okay. It was way to wordy for me. The characters were not very exciting.
