Star Breed #3
Caged
No Past. No Trust. No Way Out.
Zayda Caiden relies on no one. An Imperial spy, her mission was betrayed - but she doesn't know the identity of the traitor.
And there's certainly no reason to trust the giant of a man dumped at the prison clinic, even if he makes her burn with feelings she thought long buried.
Mack has no memory, no real name. Just dreams of fire and pain, and a set of coordinates to a section of unexplored space he refuses to reveal. There's no room in his mission for a woman with secrets of her own, but her scent fills his dreams.
When they have a chance at freedom, can they trust each other enough to escape? Or will their secrets overwhelm their passion?
Caged is the third science fiction romance novel in The Star Breed series. No cliffhangers, HEA guaranteed!

He's One of the Good Guys🐺🔫🔪
Zayda💃💋 is a new prisoner acting as a medical technician on a prison satellite💫, Minor, orbiting a remote space station, Orem. She's actually a spy🔪🔫, but hasn't heard from her handler since being sent to the satellite💫.
A huge man is brought into the clinic for medical care by two gang members. He is so tall and so muscular and has such big wide shoulders, he won't fit into the scanner. Zayda💃💋🔪 has to hand scan him and She discovers he has been genetically altered, manipulated. He could even be a hybrid🐺. He seems comatose, and Zayda💋💃 realizes his mind has been wiped, but he wakes up!
The man doesn't know where he is or who he is so he decides to call himself Mack🐺🍆🌋🔫🔪.
Mack🐺🍆🌋🔫🔪 feels a pull to Zayda💃💋🔪, he knows deep inside they need to stick together and work together to get off the satellite💫. Little bits of disjointed memories pop up in Mack' s mind, his memory is coming back!
Mack🐺🍆🌋🔫🔪 is a handsome, ripped💪, naaasssty baaaad boy sex toy just for Zayda!
YEHAW! Ride em Bareback🍆, Cowgirl!🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎
I love this series of 📚books! Each one takes place in a different part of space. The experimentally DNA altered wolf men🐺 of the space vessel, Daedalus🚀, were all ejected into space in emergency pods that were set to scatter. I love the world building by the Author!

More adventures in the world of genetic hybrid warriors
Caged is Elin Wyn's third Star Breed series novel, and boy, how the plot has thickened! The illegal genetic hybrids of the defunct Daedalus research ship have dispersed across the galaxy. This is the story of Mack - not his real name, but when you've been brain-wiped you have to pick something for people to call you. Zayda Caiden, Imperial spy, is undercover at the prison satellite where Mack is dumped after the brain wipe. She discovers his true nature, but conceals hers from him. Somehow, they form a bond - his hybrid wolf senses her calming and humanizing effect on him. She feels unaccountably safe and protested when he's around. But a one-way-in, no-way-out prison, a botched and betrayed spy mission, and a looming death sentence don't make for a smooth love relationship, much less HEA. But hold on - help arrives the guise of the ultimate prison revolt, and a granny of Imperial legend - and it just MIGHT be enough... if Mack can recover his memories. Caged is a wild ride, a steamy spy-thriller, and an ongoing mystery of Imperial proportions, and I can't wait to read the next Star Breed book.

I am absolutely addicted to this series!
I think book one is still my favorite but it is a close call -
The series keeps getting better with each book -
The plotline has become more twisted and chaotic - in an, I need answers now kind of way -I swear I have so many quesitons and they just keep compiling - every time I think I know which direction we are headed a new braid is thrown in to the mix and I am set on a completely different course
The female leads in all the stories are intelligent - strong- and know exactly what they want and how to get it
The male leads - sigh - I just bask in the diverse personalities that Wyn has created
The world building is exceptional and we are constantly being introduced to impressive new characters and planets- as well as some not so in your face breadcrumb clues that I think will have some serious effects in the future novels
If you are looking for edge of your seat adventure that has staying power
Romance that flows with the storyline
Suspense and intrigue
You need not look any further

This series is probably one of my favourites, each book that comes out I am convinced is my favourite couple and then the next one is released. The female leads are strong, independent women and the men... well they are pretty much the stuff of dreams. Zayda is in a fair bit of trouble after a mission she was on goes pear-shaped but what I really liked about her is her compassion and the strength she exhibits with Mack as he struggles through trying to determine what happened to him and the turmoil of his returning memories. Mack I liked because despite his base animal nature he is so gentle and protective. Some misunderstandings between them, the revelation of what tragic fate befell some of Mack's brothers, betrayal by someone much trusted and an absolute gem of a character in Granny and of course a steamy love story make this an addition to the series that you will not want to miss & maybe there might be a reunion that we have been waiting for. What is going to happen when the all the "brothers" reunite, I hope whoever is after them gets the comeuppance they deserve.

I received an ARC edition of this book from the author.
I thought the whole loss of memory was a really good plot device for this story, it allowed Mack's character to develop and yet leave a good bit of mystery. The whole prison colony was an good setup with the characters and plot. I really wanted to shake Zayda sometimes based on her choices (I understood her choices and they fit with the character, still found them mildly annoying). I loved Granny Z (I want to see her in another book).
Each book has given us a little bit more about the Daedalus, but there is still so much to be pieced together. This one both gave us information and left so much of the mystery still to be reveled.

This series keeps getting better and better. Zayda is working under the assumption she’s doing the right thing by collecting info on corrupt leadership of a prison planet. She’s stuck there and trying to find a way out. Mack is a new prisoner that has been badly beaten and had his mind wiped. From the moment she met him, she is attracted and knows he’s different. Together they make friends (and of course some enemies) of other prisoners looking for a way to escape. They are so good together and a bad-a$$ couple. Zayda can soothe Mack’s beast, as no other. They will meet a legend, deal with betrayal, work with the Resistance, fall in love and try to find out something about Mack’s past. I loved the ending. One step closer to finding his brothers and maybe his memories. Fantastic for people who like space adventures with romance and tons of action. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

Imperial spy Zayda Caiden relies on no one. She also has no reason to trust the large man dumped at the prison clinic even though he makes her have feelings she thought long hidden. Mack has no memory, no real name just dreams of fire and pain. He has hidden in his mind a set of coordinates to a section of unexplored space which he refuses to reveal. He has no room for a woman in his mission, but her scent fills his dreams. When they have a chance at freedom can they trust each other enough to even escape or will secrets overwhelm their passion?
I enjoyed this story with the jeopardy of his lost memory, her secrets, their increasing passion, their friends - old and new. It was a fun read as we went through their journey and escape together. Easy to read and understand. Contains explicit sexual content.

Zyda and Mack
Mack wakes in the Med Bay with Zyda taking a scan of him. He has no memory of anything, not even his name. Zyda tells him he's on a prison satellite station where there are no guards and the strong rule over the weak.
These two with help from friends devise a plan to escape a place no one has ever escaped from. Once they get back to the planet below they have so much to cope with. And Mack's memories are slowly returning..
Enjoyed these two characters but I wasn't thrilled with the abrupt ending. It's not a cliffhanger but there's no clear answer of where they're going next. Or what happens next with all the secondary characters.

Cage With The Wolf by Elin Wyn
He can't remember anything about his past, not even his name, so Zayda gives him Mack as his new name. Zayda works at the prison's clinic when Mack comes in. She is a spy on this prison ship and can't trust anyone, but maybe she could trust Mack, And he her. This is a wonderful story full of twist and turns. You just never know what is going to happen. I love this series by Elin Wyn, she really knows how to write great stories. This book is well worth your time. I received an ARC and have voluntarily left a review.

In this book we meet Zayda a spy and Mack who has no memory of his name, who he is or where he comes from. Both Zayda and Mack have to rely on each other to get out of the predicament they have found themselves and learn to trust each other and others too.

I love these Wolf guys
Sexy, alpha, genetically-altered wolf-human hybrids...I just really love these guys. I love how they just seem to know when they find their mates, and how their mates are strong, amazing women. Come join me as I get sucked into this world that Elin Wyn created. It's a wonderful mix of science fiction, fantasy, romance and action. I hope you love it like I do.

I am still amazed that I forgot about this series after book 1. It’s been great catching up now that COVID-19 has given me all sorts of reading time. I just loved how quickly Mack and Zayda bonded without realizing it. The world building in this series is so imaginative, no planet is the same and the characters just bring the whole thing together so nicely. Anyone who likes sci-fi romance would enjoy this book.

Book 3
In book 3 of the series the overall plot thickens, new friends and bounds are formed along with getting a better idea of who the true enemy is. "Mack" and Says a meet in prison only learning enough about each other to know that they do need one another for any chance of escape. Nevermind Mack doesn't even remember who he is, why he's in prison or where he came from.

As with the orevious books its an enjoyable story with good characters but the failure to connect with one ions couples is making this just a load of stand alone repeat cycle books. Ok davian appears on the last page but tbh i think im over it already, the authors taken too long to connect tge dots and km no longer invested.
Time to move onto another series

This book I think so far has been my favorite out of this series but the series as a whole is a good read. Each book leaves us hanging waiting for the next book to come out. Looking forward to what is next to come.

I accidentally read this one first, oops. I shouldn't have done that but it wasn't too bad. Most of the book works as a stand alone but there are definitely areas where I was confused. It was a good book though.
***I decided to review an ARC of this book.***

The female leads in all the stories are intelligent - strong- and know exactly what they want and how to get it
The male leads - sigh - I just bask in the diverse personalities that Wyn has created
The world building is exceptional and we are constantly being introduced to impressive new characters and planets- as well as some not so in your face breadcrumb clues that I think will have some serious effects in the future novels
If you are looking for edge of your seat adventure that has staying power
Romance that flows with the storyline
Suspense and intrigue

Probably my favorite
This was a great story. The prison, the secondary characters made this story pop. I love how all the strands are coming together. Especially glad two of the brothers have found each other.

More and more interesting
This series keeps drawing me in more and more. Each one has unique and lovable characters with their own story, but each is interconnected and reveals a bit more of the backstory. Great support characters as well!

I lived the wild Mack who has no memory. Poor Zayda doesn't know who to trust. But I love it when the heroine is smart and can kick butt! Great book!

Spies, amnesia, prison breaks, and coups
This one packs it all. A space opera with all kinds of mischievous adventures. The characters are more than ready to take on any mission to get to the bottom of the corruption and greed happening on the edge of the galaxy.
