Story
Rescued from captivity by a group of rather intimidating Kordolians, Noa finds herself recovering at a strange facility in the middle of the desert. SynCorp's medical experiments have left her with an impossible ability she can't control, and nobody really seems to know how to help her. She's fragile and shattered, a mere shadow of her former self, and she has nowhere else to go. She doesn't know what to make of the Kordolians, especially when she can't stop their thoughts from leaking into her mind.

I’ve been swept off my feet before, and I’ve got the bruises to show just how badly that ended. I’m not about to fall at the feet of the next man - or alien - to cross my path. Especially not when he steals me away from home and wants to use me as his broodmare. Kloran is intense and sometimes scary. A prince of his people with a duty so deeply ingrained it’s hard to see where it ends and he begins. But the glimpses of the man beneath the hardened warrior prince make me wonder if there’s something more between us.

Publisher's Summary
Sergeant Arin Varga has a problem on her hands. She's supposed to be in charge of a squad of peacekeepers. That's something she would normally handle with ease, except that now her people are stuck in Earth's orbit on a doomed superfreighter.
To make things worse, they're being held hostage by a group of very threatening, very menacing silver-skinned Kordolians, who are insistent that all they want is safe passage to Earth to kill oversized insects.
One particular alien, who goes by the name of Rykal, seems be constantly getting inside her personal space. He isn't just threatening, he's friendly and threatening, and if Arin isn't careful, that could become a major problem.
Contains mature themes.

Great story but its not Rickle its RY-kal!!!!
Her mispronouncing his name the entire book drove me crazy! I would have given it 5 stars but that's a huge faux pas. I downloaded this book as part of the audible escape for free and did not use a credit or purchase it. The story would be worth a credit IF I didn't have to hear the narrator butcher Rykals name over 100 times while listening. Rykal is a bad ass elite warrior and Rickle sounds like pickle and that's sooo not hardcore or badass. After hearing the general call Rykal's name in such a reverent and commanding way, hearing him called a name sounding like pickle made the entire story like nails on a chalkboard. If I were the author I would demand it be re narrated with the correct pronouncing of the name, if she did I would give it a 5 star and actually purchase it, The story is credit worthy but the narration is a deal breaker,

Arin & Rykal.
This book follows right after Out of Darkness but before Terek and Abby come back from the dark planet. It is kinda of weird how these are out of order in the overall series. Although I am glad the other soldier Kordolians have their stories. This book was full of action and romance. In a way it is a very romantic version of Aliens (which I love too) only milder without the horror. I look forward to reading the rest of the series. Narrator is good, but I am also confused why they teased us with the male reader for only Terek and Abby’s stories. I would have liked to have them both for the whole series.

I want better writing for characters
This story involves Rykal and Sgt Arin Varga, also characters from book 1, Dark Planet Warriors.
I really liked both Arin and Rykel as characters, but was totally frustrated with parts of the story that were just too ridiculous- which pushed this down to my least favorite book in the series:(
I’m sorry, but Arin and Rykal having a serious moment in the cargo hold when they needed to rush back to the docking bay for evacuation and when the Xargek are on the loose!?! I was shouting at them internally and it ruined any closeness for me. (I also had to speed through the grand love scene in the escape capsule.)
Macie’s basic narration was just ok on this one - I still think that Rykal should be pronounced as Rye-kul NOT Rick-ul, with Ry (Rye) for a nickname.
I’ve read the series multiple times and can still recommend it.

I love this series . But I do have a complaint,
in the other books they pronounce the Male mc name Rye-Kill in this version it is pronounced Rickle . I know it's a small thing but it annoyed me. Listened to the first books with my romance package but I enjoyed so much I purchased the next ones.

Another great sci-fi romance!
This fourth audiobook in this series was very entertaining. The heroine Erin was a Peacekeeper on Fortuna Tau. The hero is a Cordolian who becomes attracted to her. He has no memories of his younger years and is prone to odd flashbacks that make him uncomfortable. While escaping, they encounter obstacles like unhappy human crew members who try to ambush him and a hitchhiking Zarjek Red Stripe, the deadliest of all. Can they ever make it safely to Earth? Narration was good, but I’m still missing a male voice to bring the hero’s character in focus.

I have loved all of the Kordolian stories by Anna Carven. Her Kordolian warriors are truly great and invincible. Rykal survives Xarget, evil and sometimes stupid humans. He is almost killed but as brought back by his nanotechnology.

wow
this I think is the best action packed yet. tarak, zal and callan are awesome kordolians, but Ms Carven managed to bring yet again a different personality to the silver guys. Rykal is definately the harshest but his torment of his past is depicted more so than the other heroes in this series. he's tough as nails...holy moly is he....there's a line the heroine asks him and his response is not specific and I'm glad it wasn't as it is addressed late in the book.
I nearly let this one slide thinking it was going to be similar to Gia and
Callan, but was nothing like it....someone else stated in a review that you'd think you'd get bored....but Ms Carven is coming up with new ideas all in the same time frame but in different places.
I see she moves forward with Noa.
Jillian...hats off to you again. the only thing I found that nearly threw me was that Jillian pronounces Rykal as you would use the R and I in the word Rim...the male narrator in the 1st book pronounces Rykal as how you would say Rye....but they are 2 different characters speaking in the book so it's no different if we pronounced a name differently ourselves.....

Excellent
This is the continuing story of the people of Earth and the Kordolians, this particular story is about Sergeant Arin Varga a human and Rykal one of the silver skinned Kordolians and it is quite a hair raising ride, there is plenty of action and suspense in this story. When the two finally get together there is also plenty of extremely hot sexual interaction. These two are made for each other and they only have to overcome some very zealous humans who try to kill them both and the stupid bureaucracy that rules, guess it is just like reality on that point. I highly recommend this audio book and the series as a whole.
