Space Grit #5
Killer Mate
Tee Bronson doesn't trust outsiders. Never has. Now the Scoriah are on the run from the Nex, a secretive black-ops unit, and trust isn't even in his vocabulary. Except he needs help to board a military vessel to free one of his brothers. The only human in the universe that he's sure isn't Nex is Malweather Hunter, his former lover. Problem is, last time Tee saw Mal, he killed him.
If there's one thing a former bounty hunting cyborg should avoid, it's the alien who turned him inside out, left him for dead, and ruined his career. Even reminded that he's homeless, broke, and bitter, Mal can't resist the reason for it all. Tee makes his cold body run hot. Besides, if anyone's going to kill Tee, it's going to be him. The Nex will just have to wait their turn to get their hands on his lover's enticing neck.
Warning: This novel is intended for readers 18 and older. It contains explicit scenes, language, violence.

Those Scoriah are such rough dudes. I LOVE IT. Well, mostly I love how they find mates who complement their roughness and are able to fight beside them. They're all a little bloodthirsty and it's GLORIOUS.
But let's talk about Tee. Tee who can't stop thinking about the cyborg he spent a night with and then killed to save his family. Tee who can't stop thinking about how his choices mean he will never be able to procreate to add to the family. And it makes Tee a little snarlier and more surly than normal.
Then he finds out Mal is alive and all those emotions he'd repressed for the sake of his family (and since he thought the guy was dead) surge up and things take a turn. Because, you know, they were going on what amounted to a suicide mission to save his formerly dead brother and if there was one thing Mal was good at it was completing a mission.
Things are a little complicated with these two.
Still liking the couples we've met before. Still liking how dangerous the situation the Scoriah are caught up in is. I'm very curious how things are going to turn out in the end.

Tee Bronson is the protector. He would do anything for his family to keep them safe and happy, even sacrifice the cyborg who he now suspects was his mate, to save his brothers mate. She may just may ensure the survival of the Scoriah.
Hannibal has from a reliable source that the Nex have one of his brothers. He can't believe that his brother could have survived so long away from the nest. He is unwilling to not try to save him. Tee now needs that cyborg's help getting on the Nex ship and getting his brother back. Tee's family on the on Ferrashi are in danger. There are rogue factions of the Nex. They will have to go on the run.
The tech-man provided Mal with a new body, piecemeal but serviceable. Now he works, saves and plots what he is going to do to Tee when he gets his hands on him. When the opportunity pulls into the dock he is working. Things do go quite as he planned. He has a new plan. He is going to help save Tee's brother then break Tees heart. Along the way Mal has a change of heart and only wants Tee to survive and to be happy. When they find is brother, things aren't what they seem. His brother has his own agenda and it doesn't include rejoining his family. Mal will save Tee's brother, even if it cost Tee and his own life.
Fast paced and steamy, MM, with some light D/s. Loved Tee and Mal's story. Looking forward to the next book.

I appreciate how this series keeps building on previous characterization and staying pretty consistent. This story of the surliest brother had a lot of heart to it. Two tough characters scared to be vulnerable, even if they won't admit it. Or as I call it, catnip.

I love the Scoria
Another interesting and sexy addition to this unique series. I love the scoria (Skoria?) and I hope that Ella will start a spin off with the children.
