This is the fourth instalment in the Rakian Warriors series, and this time it’s Kennett’s turn to find love. Kennett is a scientist, and lacks the social skills for interacting with the humans. But the opportunity to undertake the solving of a mystery that has overtaken a small village and its water supply leads him to his mate. I loved this story, I love Kennett, and I couldn’t put this one down. I am really loving this series, it is well written, and is full on action in every book.

The last of the Rakian Warriors, Tennet, finds his mate in Zuri. As with all the mates of the warriors Zuri has a gift. She can hear and send her thoughts telepathically. I enjoyed the story and look forward to the next book that will include Matilde and Tirus. (a prince)

Scientist Kennett is used to facts, figures and logic. When a human woman called Zuri appears accusing the Rakian Warriors of unleashing a creature that is devastating her villa he knows it cannot be true but does eventually agree to go and investigate. Zuri has a talent - the one of empathy with animals which means she can sense their feelings. This proves helpful as they both investigate the identity and source of the creature through many dangers. They need to learn to trust each other to defeat an enemy that no one expected. Can they save the village and then part ways after everything they have been through?
I enjoyed this story which introduced another race of aliens to the planet as well as a new mate to one of the warriors. I enjoyed Zuri who was incredibly sassy and at times just argumentative. Kennett certainly had a dramatic time out of his scientific experiments and it was charming to see that he had not lost any of his fierce protection skills as he did whatever he could to save Zuri and the village. Easy to read and understand it contained a little sexual content.

Kennet made me laugh the whole time!
Kennet is the scientist on the ship. A no nonsense kinda guy. Zuri is there to have the "Starmen" take back the strange creatures attacking their animals. On the trip back Zuri is calm with all of the different facets of Kennet. He really is hilarious with his inability to relate to others. Zuri takes in stride and begins teaching him how to interact. He is always willing to investigate Something and this is the perfect something. It isn't all smooth sailing. They have a mystery to solve, her brother to find and creatures to eradicate from their lake. I loved the way Zuri pulled Kennet out of his shell and her grandmother, Magda, also the leader of their village. Don't miss this book in the Rakian Warriors series. It is a big yes for me.

Of love, logic, and learning to listen
Really enjoyed this one. Kennet is the ‘Spock’ of the Rakian scout team, so when Zuri shows up accusing the Rakians of turning a predatory flying pest loose on her village, Kennet is only too delighted to do field research. His logic and her fiercely independent mind are all too often at odds - and their slow spiral into lust, then love, is the only thing that keeps this oddball research team in the game. Add an even bigger predator, a poisoned water source, a village elder who talks with the birds, and some unwelcome aliens bent on exploitation, and you’ve got yourself a really entertaining alien action romance.

The first time the two main characters meet, it does not go well. Let’s just say their personalities clashed.... repeatedly. She is feisty, brave and stubborn. He’s consumed with knowledge, overly protective of her yet can’t seem to win an argument! Danger is ever present on this cold, hostile world that slowly draws them together.

Excellent sci fi romantic adventure
The Rakian series is a great example of what SFR can be: excellent world building, fascinating main and supporting characters, and intense plots lightened with appropriate humor. I took time to write a review because this series deserves more attention.

DNF
The FMC shows up and starts throwing around accusations, insists that he help THEN demands it be done her way.
Later when her brother is at the bottom of the lake she insists on going alpng even if it requires waiting for equipment to arrive from his ship.
Really annoyed with where the FMC in these books are headed. Will try the next one

I enjoyed reading Kennet and Zuri's story. These two characters are well developed and have great chemistry. This series is action packed and so was this story. I am voluntarily leaving my review of this ARC.

Samo, samo.
Easy to read, likable characters, interesting universe, easy prose. In fact, I liked this series enough that I'll try more from this author.
Note: This ends with a cliffy which sets up the next couple.

Awesome
Zuri and Kennet made sure a great couple! I loved their interactions and banter. Zuri was such a strong woman, I loved her attitude
“I don’t want you to choose me. I want you to choose us. I don’t want you to be resigned to your fate. I want you to fight for us!”

loved it!
Great series, I love Kennet and Zuri, can’t get enough of characters with logical scientific minds and the simple yet over complicated way they think. They pair so well with feisty women!

Great alien romance
Love the story and the characters so much. I enjoy the cast stays the same. New characters are added but we do not loose old friends. Very enjoyable to read.
