Blurb/Summary:

Book 2 in the New Species series. The books can be read as stand-alone stories, but it is advisable to read them in order to get the most enjoyment from the series.

Dr. Trisha Norbit is flat on her back in a hospital bed, pinned under a really big New Species male. Though drugged out of his mind, he promises her ecstasy and is determined to deliver—but hospital staff intervenes. 215 is a man Trisha will never forget. But, when she meets him again at Homeland…he doesn’t even remember her!

The nosy new doctor wants to know all about the breeding habits between humans and Species. Slade proposes a hands-on education but she’s not interested in a one-night stand. He can’t offer more because he’s haunted by the memory of a woman he once tried to claim. He’s shocked when he realizes they are one and the same. He’s blown it—she’ll never give him a chance now.

But, when her life is in danger, he’s the only one who can save her. As they flee through the wilderness, their desire ignites and cannot be denied. Hot sex, on the run, has consequences that are even more dangerous and will change their lives forever.

Reader Advisory: There is a scene of an attempted rape.

Review:

Slade Book Two of New Species by Laurann Dohner led me back into the world New Species. Slade is one drop dead sexy man who only has eyes for the good Doctor. Once they realized they knew each other, I waited to see what rekindling would happen. Slade and Trisha have an explosive attraction that will singe the eyes. Yet I couldn’t stop reading or seeing the bestial side of Slade when in protection mode.

I found his other way of protecting adorable. Only men think distancing themselves is a way to offer better protection. Dr. Tricia is stronger than anyone gives her credit. Circumstances lead her into danger and she must wait to be saved. Courage and quick wits give her leverage. Her fears made me fear for her and I felt our hero’s pain at not being close at hand. I was thrilled when the situation changed for the better. I enjoyed reading of the entire species and not just the NSO, Laurann Dohner gives us a detailed view of the species she’s created. The rest of this story is heartfelt and I’m not one for spoilers. This is a must read story.

Blurb/Summary:

Book 1 in the New Species series.

Ellie is horrified to discover the pharmaceutical company she works for is doing illegal experiments. Company scientists have spliced human and animal DNA, creating exotic new species. One such “experiment” captures her heart and she’ll do anything to save him—even if he hates her for it.

Fury has never known compassion or love. He’s spent his life in a cell, chained and abused by humans. The one woman he allowed himself to trust betrayed him. Now he’s free and set on vengeance. He vows to end her life but when she’s finally in his grasp, harming her is the last thing he wants to do to the sexy little human.

Fury can’t resist Ellie—the touch of her hands, her mouth on his skin, her body wrapped around his. He’s obsessed with the scent of his woman. And Ellie wants Fury—always has. She craves his big, powerful body and wants to heal his desolate heart.

But loving Fury is one thing…taming him is another.

Reader Advisory: This story contains the heartrending aftermath of a rape scene involving a captive male. Another scene involves capture and forced touching by a hurt, vengeful Fury.

Review:

New Species: Fury by Laurann Dohner took me into the lives of a brand new mixed breed of men and women. Laurann Dohner laid the ground work splendidly with this first read. I was introduced to a fierce woman Ellie, a human who at great cost to herself committed both a heart wrenching crime and at the same time saved the life of someone she grew to care for.

Her fierce spirit and sassy ways fit perfectly with Fury. Their path was filled with obstacles at every turn and kept me on edge waiting to see what would happen after turning the page. The intimacy blew me away. Primal and loving at the same time it had me sighing in pleasure. As the plot thickened and a conspiracy popped up, I prayed they’d find a way to survive the hatred surrounding them. I immensely enjoyed the female species and all of the secondary characters and their interaction with this explosive couple. I can’t wait for the next in this series and hope to be able to read it soon. Fury is a must read.
