   None No current Talk conversations about this book.  Briars_Reviews | Aug 4, 2023 |   It is a shorter read, but I think that is because much of both their stories are covered in details of earlier books and it would have been redundant bordering on tedious to revisit that. This story fills in some blanks and moves the series forward without making it seem the author questions your intelligence and/or dedication to the series as a whole. (  ) SAKeeper | Feb 23, 2021 | The League: Nemesis Rising , Book 5.5 I Picked Up This Book Because: #Barbsbookopoly roll 2. “A book set in space” The Characters: Maris Sulle: Ture Xans: The Story: I’m ashamed to say I didn’t retain much about this book. Ture (I think) was kidnapped with Nikerian’s mate (maybe) and Maris was involved in the rescue. They take a liking to each other. There is a lot of painful past and Maris has a current price on his head that causes a problem. This wasn’t a bad book. I just think I wasn’t in the headspace for it. I also think I should have read the book as the narrator's super soothing (and not distinct between characters) voice had me zoning out but I felt no need to go back on minutes missed. This is a series I absolutely loved in the beginning and it pains me that I’ve grown apart from it. The library has the next book. Maybe I’ll give it a try soon to see if I’ve completely lost that loving feeling. Overall I was just kind of underwhelmed. The Random Thoughts: 3 Stars (  ) bookjunkie57 | Jun 9, 2020 |  ) wyldheartreads | Jun 20, 2019 | omg it has been heartbreaking to watch him suffer. His suffering might come to an end with one rescue. He rescues someone who will challenge everything he believes in about his worth, and his ability to love. This new guy is absolutely wonderful. He's a chef, an honest man, a generous friend and has known his own sorrows for too long. Together, these two struggle to go beyond the scars. I love these characters in this series, the good guys, not the bad guys. These are good solid people, who offer themselves up for the good of others. Maris and Ture are two of the best. I loved reading this story it left me smiling and there is nothing wrong with that. ( ) TheYodamom | Jan 29, 2016 | no reviews | add a review

HTML: One of the fiercest soldiers the Phrixians have ever produced, Maris Sulle has been an outsider his whole life. He grew up with a secret that cost him everythingâ??his birthright, his family, his military career. He's only ever had one love, and Maris has sacrificed that to see his best friend reunited with the woman he loves. His good deed done, he now feels lost and adrift. Even though his new family does its best to include him, he's once again on the outside looking in. Ture has spent his life hiding from everyone around him while trying desperately to fit in. Badly hurt by everyone he's ever known, he trusts no one except his best friendâ??and honestly, he can't understand why he trusts her. Nor can he believe her when she describes a loyalty between friends the likes of which he's never seen. But in his darkest hour, Ture is saved by a hero he thought only existed in novels, a man every bit as scarred and mistrusting as he is and who has no interest in being dragged into another relationship with anyone. Having spent his life as a living study of doomed relationships, Maris is well aware of the fiasco that must inevitably follow courtship. Still, there is something about Ture he can't resistâ??something that won't let him walk away even when he knows he should. And when old enemies return to threaten them both, these two must either stand together or die al No library descriptions found. |

The writing is good but it's not really my style. It felt like there was a lot of nothing going on for most of the story and since I didn't know all the background to what happened before, I was very, very lost. I think Sherrilyn is a good writer, but I definitely needed to know all of the background to get anything about the story. Like the weird Phrixian race - I don't know what it is, what they look like, anything. The two men falling in love was fantastic, but I couldn't understand their differences since I didn't know why humans and Phrixians shouldn't be friends.
There were a lot of stereotypes and the homophobia was... not amazing. I can tell the writer doesn't normally write M/M romances and well... it didn't work well but I will take the attempt as a positive since it means this fictional world has M/M romances...
Overall, good story and I'm sure fans of this series will like it.
One out of five stars. (
