Story
In the future: A united Earth, to deal with the problem of population control, divides its population into classes of citizen and non-gratis. To be born a non-gratis means a life of little freedoms and the constant possibility of being assigned to work on a colony. Lacking citizenship, every aspect of their life is controlled from where they live down to marriage and childbearing regulations. The only possible escape from life as a non-gratis is to qualify for one of the limited slots available for entrance into the military.

Veral’monushava’skahalur is an oddity among his species, a lone Argurma cyborg divorced from his own kind by choice and to escape termination as a malfunctioning unit. Wandering the fringes of space as a salvager, he comes across a planet beyond the boundaries of the federation, rich in metals remnant of a dead civilization. Or so he thought.

Story
Long have we been alone; without brides, without females to warm us during the long nights, without sweet mates. But we see them from afar, the brides that could be ours. Kept away from us by walls and weapons. Females we long for greatly...obsessively. Human females. And the one with red hair? I want her. I saw her first. I will fight to the death for her. She is mine. So, we’ll come together and make an exchange with their men that will benefit us all. After that? To the winner goes the spoil. Let the hunt begin...but the red-headed female is mine.

Captured on a hellish world after attacking a military campsite and now imprisoned in a state-of-the-art cell inside one of the military’s top bases, Lazris. Lana has been assigned to "study" him; to learn his secrets and gain his trust, if he is ever allowed to set foot out of his cell. Asset X - or Xerus as he is called - won't give up his secrets easily. He is difficult, elusive, and dare she say, unfathomably alluring.

The Arrisans conquered Earth in a day. They smashed into our helpless planet like a wrecking ball, and overnight, everything changed. That’s what our history books say. The truth is, I’ve never seen an Arrisan face-to-face. But when my lone medical ship is attacked by ruthless pirates, the nightmare that hunts them down is no hero. Cloaked in assassin’s gray, metal scythes fused to his wrist-bones, he is the grim reaper of the conquerors. The Arrisan elite special forces. A blade.

I’ve broken free and I’ve also freed the human who was held captive with me. But I don’t know where we are, and I don’t know where my home is. The local wildlife may be smaller than I am, and maybe they don't have fangs near as large as mine, but I’m still terrified. My issues with germs—and my uncompromising avoidance of all the things that I’m afraid of coming into contact with—is going to get me killed in this wilderness. Thankfully, Aurora lets me follow her. Thankfully, she seems to know the way out of this endless and inhospitable woodland and desert biome.

I dislike people. I despise humans. A cruel mandate from one of my region's rulers has saddled me with a slew of little alien humans: I'm to put them to work. One problem? I run a rock quarry, where humans’ thin skin is a detriment to productivity. Overseeing these humans is like trying to herd yanaks. If I don't burn, beat, or strangle them to death by the day's end, it will be a miracle.

Publisher's Summary
An enticing savior, an old love, and one deranged alien hell-bent on destroying it all.
The seemingly endless war with the Grutex has caused many inconveniences for Amanda, but none of those have been as bad as losing the funding for the project she is working on, which is supposed to help save humanity. When she foolishly risks her life to continue her research, Amanda is thrown into the path of an alien, the likes of which she has never seen, who claims she is his mate. The problem is, he isn’t the only one making that claim.
As an ambassador for his people, Oshen is used to handling delicate situations, but he has never been in one quite so delicate as this. Instead of enlightening Earth’s government about the existence of Galactic Law and their right to seek aid, he finds himself face-to-face with the one being he’s waited his whole life to find; his mate. But the little human is in trouble, and he needs to convince her to leave Earth or he risks losing the most important thing he has ever had.
Damned. Cursed. Gulzar has been called many things over the course of his life. Many in his tribe refuse to even look at him, and who could blame them? The only light in his life has been his little goddess, the only being in the entire world who looks at him without judgment. When he gets a vision of her in distress, Gulzar knows he will do anything he can for the female he loves.
This is an MMF romance with dark tones that may contain triggers.

Just get it!!
I almost did not get this due to the reviews I read.... not sure WHAT those people were talking about! This is an EXCELLENT story!! It has become one of my favorites, the narrator was AH-MAZING! There was romance, hot steamy parts, funny moments. All around it was a solid book. I have become a fan of Octavia Kore.... please, please, PLEASE produce more of your books (you absolutely must keep the same narrator though!)

Damsel dumb heroine YUCK
So, I started this review with 3 hours to go in the book and gave it a very generous four-star review. Since then, the book and my review took a nose dive! Her mates are taken away and the most she does is ask about them as the days go by and when she doesn't get an answer, she just goes on about her day. All the while one is in a holding cell and the other is being beaten. I am only finishing this to ensure my review is 100% accurate. UGH!
I like the new species and the story. But, highly dislike damsel in distress heroines. And, I dislike it, even more, when that damsel is wrapped in a profession that requires "brains". She makes marine biologists cringe
. The best part of the story is Hades!
Not sure why they chose a male narrator. Most of the story is from a female perspective and J.F. Harding fell short with female narrations.
I would not recommend this book to anyone who likes strong, capable, kick-a** heroines.

Confused and too long
TL;DR - Not worth the credit. Blends sci-fi and fantasy and went off the rails. Needed editing to keep it coherent. Plus, no one should have to waste their time Googling a drone bee's penis just to figure out a sex scene cuz 2 authors can't bother to describe one of their characters male parts sufficiently.
Ok my rant follows:
Octavia Kore is 2 authors and it shows. They were in desperate need of an Editor to bring their ideas together to make sense. This story goes from sci-fi to shifter fantasy with no reason. The MMF fated mates is almost shoehorned in and feels forced instead of romantic. Plus there is the nonsensical under-the-sea aspect - they have gills and are cat-like/crab-like but not, but take this Harry Potter type magic pill and breathe underwater for a make out session that does nothing for the story, just so confused and lame.
There were too many concepts in this book and too much wasted time on ”I'm not worthy" or "This can't be..." internal dialogue that I started skipping ahead just to get back to the main plot. Editors are worth their weight in gold when it comes to multiple authors and it's apparent they didn't spend a dime... seriously
As for the narration, I do like J.F. Harding. I have a few books he has narrated and had not issues, however his Filipino accent in this book was way off the mark. It was more Indian than anything else so it was really odd and had to just pretend the side character wasn't of any specific nationality and just had an non-American accent to avoid breaking immersion.

Great story. The only thing that was weird was June’s voice. She is supposed to be Pilipino but she sounds Jamaican. That voice grated on my nerves. The rest was good and the narrator’s main voice was nice. The secondary characters voices were so weird.

Really Good
Earth is at war with the Grutex an alien race that just turned up one day and started kidnapping people off the street. For Amanda the war means a lot of time hiding when not working and when the war interferes with her work she foolishly risks everything and it changes her life forever. She is attacked by a Grutex, rescued by Oshen another alien and she finds herself on an alien planet with not just Oshen claiming to be her mate by another Gulzar also. There are dark undertones in this story what with people being kidnapped, forced to breed with aliens, experimented on and hunted like prey but amongst it all there is a live story brewing with some scorching hot sexual interactions thrown in there. A really good listen and well worth the effort.

Slow Burn MMF Alien Romance, unique world building
This is a great book with well build characters, a well thought out plot and unique alien world building. The main heroes are very sweet - no arrogant or bitchy behaviours nor ignorant and dumb damsel dramas. I loved this book very much. The flow in the writing style was sometimes a little bit choppy but it doesn't take away from the overall storyline. The performance was excellent with a variety of intonations for different characters.
