SHE’S ONE HUMAN IN AN INFINITE CITY—AND HE WILL NOT STOP UNTIL HE POSSESSES HER.
It should have been an easy job—deliver the ID chip, get paid, and get out. But when Drakkal sees a beautiful human in his client’s private zoo and instantly recognizes her as his mate, the situation gets complicated. The motto he’s long lived by—don’t be stupid—is cast aside as the beast in him demands he take this female and make her his no matter what he must do. And when she runs from him, the hunt is on.
After being impregnated by her dirtbag ex-boyfriend, abducted, and sold to be a breeder in a rich alien’s basement menagerie, Shay has to admit things aren’t looking great. But she’s determined to give her unborn child a decent life. Her first opportunity appears in the form of a gruff but insanely attractive azhera who forces Shay’s owner to sell her to him. Refusing to trade one alien master for another, she escapes him at her first chance. Yet Shay can’t forget the intense azhera and his heated stare—and soon realizes that he’s not going to forget her, either.
But Shay’s former owner also remembers, and he’s determined to retrieve his prized possession—and have his revenge on the azhera who took her.
Tiffany Roberts is the pseudonym for Tiffany and Robert Freund, a husband and wife writing duo. Tiffany was born and bred in Idaho, and Robert was a native of New York City before moving across the country to be with her. The two have always shared a passion for reading and writing, and it was their dream to combine their mighty powers to create the sorts of books they want to read. They write character driven sci-fi and fantasy romance, creating happily-ever-afters for the alien and unknown.
It was meant to be a simple job - deliver the ID chip, get paid and get out before he squashed his idiot client, but when the client insists on showing him his special zoo everything changes. The zoo holds different species trapped, one of those trapped/exhibited happens to be a human woman (Shay) - the moment Drakkal catches her scent he knows he cannot leave her - what he doesn't expect is for her to turn his own weapon on him, take all his clothes and run. Thinking he'll find her easily, Drakkal soon realises he underestimated her, something that makes his desire and need for her burn even hotter.
Shay is one tough and kickass human, a heroine you cannot help but like and enjoy. Shay's perfect for the fiercely protective and kickass Drakkal. And then there is Drakkal - he is certainly sigh worthy as a hero.
The interactions and byplay between friends and business partners Drakkal and Alkorin kept me really amused.
My favourite book of the series, it had me entertained and smiling throughout. The chemistry between Shay and Drakkal was depicted well and sizzled off the page.
This book dragged a lot, especially in the beginning. I skimmed a lot of the scenes where they were pleasuring themselves while thinking about each other (do we need 2 or 3 pages per character describing this? Nope.) and repetitive love scenes that added nothing to the story and lasted 3 or 4 pages. Once the plot was moving it was better, but those long love scenes kept breaking it up. I liked the supporting characters more than the mains for most of the book because both mains were emotionally closed off except for when they got mad at someone. Overall I was just bored for most of the book.
Another great entry. Loved these two so much. Pregnant human being kept as a slave gets rescued by Drakkal and he is immediately enamored with her. And her unborn "cub". Just so sweet.
4.7 stars. So good! I am loving this series more and more with each book. Seeing Drakkal get his mate was so sweet and satisfying. Their relationship was entertaining and fun to read. Shay really makes him work for it. She’s a complete fucking badass. Which I completely fucking Love in an FMC.
Once again, we have an alien with alien appendages. This time there was knotting. Plus we got a little taste of primal play with Drak chasing Shay and both of them getting all hot and bothered by it through their fear and frustration.
I loved that there is always something new and exciting in each book I read from these authors. Just like in the Kraken series that I read first, this series has totally new challenges and ever changing landscapes circling around Arthos. I love it. It makes each book just as exciting as the last. Plus it’s always super fun to see what attributes each species of alien has unique to them.
So hot. So fun. Just as dangerous and exciting as the last. And I’m left with the same enthusiasm to read the next book that Arc’s book left me with. I’m guessing the next book will be with Thargen, and I’m more than ready to see who catches that crazy fucker’s eye.
First, I have to say I'm so grateful and relieved o hear that this is NOT the last book in this series! I've become quite attached not just to the city but the amazing characters who live in it! From the minute I first entered the world of Arthos I was enthralled and enchanted with its dark and gritty atmosphere. The beings who live here are dangerous, deadly and beyond appealing. I can't seem to get enough I've fallen in love with an assassin, a hacker\ forger and now I've been swept away by a fighter\ lion a male who understands the importance of security and taking care of those you love. And to know there is more to come makes my heart ❤do a happy dance 💃for the new year. I now know I have something to look forward too. This story !like the last two have a strong fierce human female lead. Shay has done things she regrets in her life, but she recognizes her mistakes and is trying hard to make sure she fixes them and has a better future especially now that she is carrying a child. Before she can really set her plans in motion she's tsken, sold and made a part of a rich male's zoo in the underground of Arthos. But she is tough and God help anyone who tries to hurt her child. Drakkal our wonderful head of security from the last novel enters the story. He's there to collect payment for services rendered. What he sees instead is Shay a beautiful, strong fierce human he realizes is his mate. All his good advice and common sense fly out the window and the adventure begins when he busts Shay free of her prison. The development of not only the story but the characters is phenomenal. Nothing feels rushed Drak might know Shay's his mate but there is nothing Insta about their relationship. Trust is painstakingly built, pasts are shared and feelings grow true and strong. old friends are revisited which I love and some of those characters we get to know better and fall a bit in love with them too. This has everything I want and need in a novel. I need to be whisked away and transported, to feel like I'm immersed inside a story with the characters in reading about and these stories give that to me each time. As the previous books did this one is loaded with action, adventure , passion and all consuming love. I couldn't put my kindle down and was sad when I read the last word only to be comforted in the knowledge there will be more to come! I can't wait to return once again to Arthos, the Infinite City!.💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Ps. I forgot to add how much I enjoy how alien, yet compatible the male leads are it makes me wish for my very own!!!!😍😍😍
Very disappointed......after the first two books I couldn’t wait for this one and can only say I struggled through it. The beginning was very wordy describing activities of no consequence and frankly I didn’t like Shay, the main female character, very much. She was crass and worried more about the mechanics of sex with an alien than whether or not sex with an alien might harm her unborn child. I thought Drakkal deserved so much better.
Tossed it back at 48 percent. This was far enough in to know for certain I did not care for the h, Shay. They’re finally just then living together after he gets her to accept a job. She’s basically used Drak throughout the book up to this point. She had no desire or use for him except what he could do for her. She robbed him after he freed her. Then she ran from him again. Then she was cold to him. She comes off cold, mean, snippy, a user and a loser. She is somehow pregnant, only thing disclosed at this point is that the baby daddy was a mistake somehow and he cheated. So I guess that’s that. She’s all distraught after losing her parents separately and she’s doing that whole oh I can’t be your mate because everyone leaves blah blah excuse like her losing her parents is justification to be cold, mean, not wanting to be his mate and a criminal. She isn’t being sweet, kind or affectionate to Drak at all. And the constant feline jokes to him when he’s more of a wolf were super annoying. Not into cold mean heroines so I’m tossing this one back.
Loved the book with so many twists and turns keeping you at the edge of your seat from start to finish. It's packed with adventure, action, drama, kidnapping, humor, passion, and steamy sexy scenes that leaves you saying ahh with awesome characters? Definitely a must buy and keep them coming they are awesome?
What an Amazing Adventure !!!! In this book of the Infinite City , we find Drakkal on a delivery for Arc. Routine - nothing to be excited over. That is , until he comes face to face with his Mate !!! Once he sees , and smells her ..... That was IT !!!! He throws caution to the left , and a phenomenal right hook into the Volturian guards face !!!! ( all of the fighting and Action is like watching my favorite movies !!!! And I LOVE IT !!!!!!!! ) 😁😁
Shay has had a Hell of a couple months !!! She finds out she is knocked up , dumped her ex boyfriend , been abducted and sold , and is being "kept " in a zoo type environment , and put on display like an animal . As soon as her child comes, she will be expected to " breed" and produce more " Animals " for her owner. He is part of the Guilded community , and believes that he is practically untouchable by the law, and anyone Not of his circle of acquaintances, is so FARRRRR beneath him . Both financially and intellectually. He has No idea what is on the horizon !!! Shay is perplexed by the azeraha's focus, but when she realizes that he is about to help her escape, she goes along with it . Until they get away. Then she turns the tables on Drak, and gets away !! Desk only wants to protect her, but his chance slips away ..... On a planet of BILLIONS , How is Drak supposed to find her ?? !! This book exemplifies the magic of TIFFANY ROBERTS . The characters are incredible ! Especially when they are pushed beyond their limits .... The action is movie screen worthy !!!! I pour over the fight scenes again and again. And the Love scenes !!!!! How do they think up these Anatomical parts ??!?!?!?! BTW, if you go on their website , there are PICTURES !!!! This is a must have for serious fans - like myself - and a wonderful addition to this series !!! If their are Billions of stories in the Infinite City , I am GOING TO READ THEM ALLLLLLL !!!!!!
The beginning felt a bit drawn out for what happened, I did like the proper chemistry the main couple had but I do think that the fated mates trope just isn’t for me
Smut was very smutty though from what I read, very much of the alien/monster variety and has an a/b/o flavoring if only because of the heavy emphasis on mates and the knotting.
Yet another awesome story by this talented duo! I thoroughly enjoy how vibrant their world building is & I am constantly pulling for their characters to succeed... even their supporting characters get my attention. Love this series! Can’t wait for the next one!
No lie, I was itching for Drak's book at the end of Arc and Sam's and I am so ridiculously happy to get to spend more time in this world. Especially since Drak did pretty much all the things he warned Arc against the moment he laid eyes (or super-sniffer) on Shay. He threw caution to the wind on many occasions and I find that delightful when it comes to to the mother hen of Arc's crew.
Seriously, Drak pulled an Arc and just went claws out after Shay. He let her rob him and escape him and he went a little nutty while tracking her down. And when he finally did manage to convince her he wasn't out to do her harm, he whole-heartedly embraced the idea of being her baby's daddy. Heck, he knew what was going to happen long before Shay had it figured out.
As for Shay, she was in a tough position. Being held as a breeding slave was bad enough, but being pregnant and alone on the streets of Arthos with few prospects toward building a better life for her and her baby flat out sucks. While she absolutely knows she will do anything to give her baby a better life, the future is looking pretty bleak.
Until, you know, a grumbly azhera slides in and opens up a whole lot of doors.
A little danger, more than a little blood (mostly not theirs, fortunately), sexy times, and a cadre of found family. I'm really digging these books and OMG THARGEN. Everybody's favorite crazy uncle! YESSSSSS!
UNTAMED HUNGER started out strong for me but I think it was a touch too long and overly descriptive in some of the action scenes. That being said I did really like how feisty and tough Shay was, the woman could kick some serious ass; she was a great match for Drakkal.
The pregnancy trope is not a trope I typically like so that did affect my overall enjoyment of the book, but that's just personal preference. I did like seeing how protective Drakkal immediately became of Shay and her baby and the way the rest of the crew came to love little Leah. It was also nice to see a friendship form between Shay and Samantha.
Content Warning: on page pregnancy and child birth; references to human trafficking and slavery
Drak's and Shay's story really show cased the strength of not giving up and remaining strong despite past misfortunes. I love how fierce their love for one another is and Shay was such a badass , I loved every moment she was kicking butt. Drak also just immensely loves her and her baby, he stepped right into daddy mode. Lots of action, spiciness, and family love in here. Definitely looking forward to the next book!
It's fine. There were parts I liked but I disliked the h for the first 50% and I admit I skimmed A-LOT. The world building is good. It's third in the series so I know I missed some background but not badly written. I would continue with the series but I wouldn't call it a bad book.
Another fantastic read by Tiffany Roberts. I love the worlds they paint in my head and the romance between their characters. I swear, they can't write anything I won't gobble up.
I wasn't buying the whole, "Look at me, I'm a badass" at the beginning from Shay. It was more annoying than anything. Don't even get me started on how long and drawn out this book was. I skimmed through some of the chapters.
On a better note; the bromance between Drakkal and Arc was so good! I just badly want another book about Arc. He is still my favorite.
What do you get when you cross a bad-ass pregnant mama, with a wolf-man lookin' kitty cat hybrid Alpha Man?
A damn good Alien romance, thats what.
Dubbed one of probably the last books ill be able to finish before 2019 is done, This book highlights everything that drew me in to the scifi romance genre as a whole.
As always, Roberts brings in the magic that lays the foundations for her storytelling and draws you into a world that you can't help but stare at in horrid fascination (and secretly wish you were living in it). The infinite city is growing, as is our list of potential future suitors here. And that just absolutely Hypes. Me. Up. Bish. Drakkal and Shay were so cleverly put together. It was sooooo refreshing to see an h who got stolen, literally never stop fighting or feeling all "woe is me, poor me, pity me". You always worry with the "fated mates" hullabaloo, but Drakkal and Shay built a relationship over time through struggle, robbing, chasing, and Cat Puns abundant. The chemistry between D and S was almost like a burn that aches and builds over time, and comes together so...steamily that you just can't help but end up wanting an Azhera of your own to get coughcough knotty with. AND ILL SAY IT ONCE, ILL SAY IT AGAIN: Mama's a sucker for a big quite teddy bear ( COME TO ME RAZI BOO )
To say this year has been a discovery of self is putting it likely. I will easily say the Tiffany Roberts is leading that charge with all of her infinitely entertaining books that have opened a few new doors for myself, and others (cause nothing says community like a bunch of women discussing their mutual appeal to alien/paranormal romance with creatures that Look Like Creatures).
Im so excited to see more from the Infinite City, and all to come in 2020!
But more than anything, its time to go back to my favorites....
Another amazing read! I love that this has a strong heroine who doesn’t take crap from anyone and can kick butt, even while heavily pregnant. Once she is aided by a handsome feline-esque male in escaping from being a captive in a collectors zoo she turns the tables on him and runs for her life to hide in the underworld of the Infinite City.
He knows then and there,after being left naked and unarmed, that she is his mate and he will do anything to convince her of that fact. And thus ensues the wooing of a woman who wants to be independent, but knows with a child on the way she needs security as well.
Ok first off, this has probably been my favorite book in the Infinite City series and that’s saying A-LOT cuz I loved Arc and Sam’s story so so much.
Ironically I thought I was going to like this book the least, mostly because I assumed Shay was going to be a weak damsel in distress. Honestly don’t even know why, but damn was I wrong.
Shay has to be one of my favorite characters ever written in this series. She was not at all what I expected her to be and I loved it. Like what a freaking badass! Go girl get ‘em! Practically running circles around Drakkal while she’s extremely pregnant. Talk about not judging a book by its cover and I mean that both literally and figuratively. Also she gave me HEAVY Aeryn from Farscape vibes. If you know you know
I’d admired Drakkal’s character, but I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about him being a male lead. Again, my doubts were quickly assuaged and I grew to love him even more. His dynamic with Shay started rocky but I LOVED how naturally it grew, their relationship and trust had to be built so there was A-LOT of tension between them. I gotta say, the anticipation was killing me but I needed it and the payoff was incredible! Like everything leading up to their relationship (and then some) only made me love what they had even more.
And then getting to see all the other characters again and their developing friendships with Shay and her baby was just sublime.
Extremely excited to be reading Thargen’s book next cuz what can I say, I’ve grown to love the crazy bastard.
My favorite in this series so far! Five kraasz ka'val stars! I loved all the three main characters in their own way but Drakkal is the one I love most. He and Shay are my favorite couple. I hope we'll hear from them some time soon.
I loved Shay's toughness and loved that the hero loves her for it. He comes on a bit strong in the beginning but he changes his ways to truly win her. Very hot sexy scenes with plenty of sexual tension.
2✨ I was bored through most of this, almost Dnf'ed when they had sex for the first time cause I just didn't feel any connection or chemistry between them at all. Ended up skimming and skipping through the rest.
