Legion
As certain as Anya was that the being who called himself Legion was more dangerous than any force in the universe, she found herself falling unwillingly beneath the spell of seduction he wove around her, struggling uselessly against his determination to win her as his mate. She was lost long before she discovered he’d lied to her even as he seduced her. His world and his people might have been lost to him, but he wascertainly not alone … And Zavier was just as powerful, just as arrogant, and j

Good, good book. Anya is on a space station when a torpedo looking thing is coming straight at them. Inside is Legion, an alien that is searching for other aliens anything like him because he's the sole survivor from his planet. Well, that's not true his hated twin brother Zavier also survived but Legion doesn't count him. They both think Anya's the only one for them.
Cute story, reminds me a little of the Cyborg books by this author under Kaitlyn O'Connor with the guys beating the shit out of each other. This book is worth a read.

This book has everything I like:
✓ sci-fi theme - check!
✓ action - check!
✓ aliens - check!
✓ paranormal creatures (com'on they have SUPER POWERS!) - double check!
✓ heroine with backbone - check!
✓ sweet story (with story line) - check!
✓ AND LOTS AND LOTS OF NAUGHTY PARTS? check-finity!
The judgement?
The wheel is slowing down and between the book-murmur a "ka-ching" sounds, suddenly all we can hear is the winner's alarm ringing and everybody screaming "JACKPOOOOT!"

My thoughts on this book:
- all the men who had any significant part in this book are assholes, making the heroes seem reasonable and innocent in comparison
- forced mating and pregnancy, they "persuaded" her using sex *cue eye roll*
- we know absolutely nothing about the aliens' world, and almost nothing about Earth as it is in this book
- the sex scenes are rather repetitive until the mating
- the dream scenes are uncomfortably close to rape
+ the heroes, while being twins, are not carbon copies of each other, or at least as far as I was able to tell, since they didn't have extremely strong personalities due to lack of background
+ heroes turn into adoring fathers (I have baby fever)
While I thought that in general this story had some interesting parts, what was seriously lacking was a background for any of the three main characters. They have vague back stories, but lack substantial character building. They just... "are", and that makes the two heroes too similar to each other. Anyway, it's never explained what Zavier has been up to and how he arrived at Earth, while Legion has been starving? Lots of plot holes, basically. They also kept the heroine in the dark as much as possible, which is really annoying. The only reason I rated it at 3 stars is because of the babies and the heroes acting somewhat responsibly in the end (out of nowhere).
Second, as I said in the updates, I am getting extremely sick of the scifi genre's theme of "strong female characters" needing sexual misconduct in their bosses to help them be so. Honestly it's become much too common to read about a boss getting angry and acting completely unprofessional in response to the heroine not sleeping with him. It is first of all slut shaming all the other women on the ship, and second of all means that apparently women can't be strong if they have a strong male character above them? Is there some sort of law stating that if there's a strong male character, you can't have a strong female character? Pisses me off.
Edit: I worked myself up enough to realize this really only deserves 2 stars.

You know, this was a good book by KO but I just didn't like the story! I did 't like the first 75% of it then I started to like it and I'm not sure why. SLIGHTLY spoilerish review.
Quick Rundown: Doctor/Scientist Chick....geez, I can't even write a quick rundown on this because it would spoil too much.
Characterization: Pretty good. I liked the chick and the secondary characters were well done as always. But, I didn't like the 2 Dudes in the book toward the very end when they got their issues worked out. They weren't written badly, there's just something about them that I didn't like. I think it was what they were. I've read romance stories with deities before and don't recall having issues but for some reason, I just was not feeling the issue between these two dudes and what happened because of their issue- vague, I know but I don't want to include spoilers.
Plot: Kind of a new one for me and not one I enjoyed till the ending.
Overall: I can't not recommend it as I think my issues with it were personal though I'm not sure what they were. I don't think I liked that he fucked other chicks in their heads and manipulated them and never was really remorseful of it. I don't like how they were essentially childlike deities. I didn't like how their issues overshadowed their concern or relationship with the Chick. And I don't think I was feeling that destined/mate bond that they were feeling. I just think this theme wasn't for me. I will say that the ending was one of the best fleshed out in regards to the ending. Most of KA books feel like the ending is rushed and is wrapped up in a couple pages that skip necessary scenes. This one had a fully fledged out ending but even the ending couldn't make me give it more stars cause I just wasn't feeling it overall.

I never connected with the main characters. I found them distant and never felt any chemistry between them. The supposedly spicy sex scenes were nothing special and the end felt hurried and a bit too neatly tied up.

2.5 stars
This was okay at first, but once the secondary male character was introduced, it just got cheesy. I really never understood why Legion and Anya were attracted to each, besides the fact that they were good looking. There was no spark, IMO. This book is rated Carnal, but the sex scenes were tepid at best.

a good premise... but I got a head ache reading all that internal dialogue and ended up skimming the last quarter of the story.
