Publisher's Summary

A vrisha arrives in Grace's underwater city.

He takes over one of the substations, forcing the workers out. At the whim of her job, Grace is unwillingly chosen to go below, maintain the station, and stay with the horned, devilish alien.

That is how she comes to encounter Xora. An alien born from a race of dominant fighters and fierce hunters. He is as terrifying as he is mysterious. While also commanding, stubborn, unrelenting . . . and oddly mesmerizing. As her fear slips away, other emotions begin to take hold. And Grace finds she wants to know more.

Xora just wants to get off the cold, watery world as quickly as possible. Yet, despite his indifference to humans, he finds his attention captured by Grace. Against his own nature, he allows her near him. He's just too . . . curious.

For Grace, working with Xora could be dangerous. But when he desires her help on a secret mission, Grace can't refuse. Even if it could mean putting her job and life (and heart) at risk.

For Xora, Grace's help could be his best chance at getting home. Assuming he can keep his growing feelings for the bold woman from making him lose sight of why he's on Oceanus in the first place.

Contains mature themes.

glad I listened to Heart's Prisoner series first

there were little mentions of certain happenings in a previous book and It made me smile. It was nice to be in the know...just a bit.
I also knew what the Vrisha was all about.
this book was a tad faster paced than the previous books I listened to but that was fine as this wasn't so much character and plot building like Heart's Prisoner...even though that story was unlike anything I've ever heard and got me hooked on Olivia Riley. Xora's story of him and his h, their meeting and a romance developing along with trust, suspense and betrayal thrown in for good measure.
again it looked like Olivia was writing herself into a corner, I couldn't figure where this was going...it was exciting.
but Xora, like Xerus fell for his h.
it was great to have Aliens and friends coming in as help and side characters . the ending was something I didn't think about but smiled all the same it was nice to see the Vrisha bending.
Penelope was an awesome narrator, her tone and inflections were brilliant.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
