Publisher Description
Isobel Yates is a single mom with no time for romance, but the Goddess has other plans for her.
Hail is a Dark Kindred. Since emotions are outlawed on his home world, he is learning to feel now that he lives on the Mother Ship. Strong emotions are bad news, though--they bring out the part of his DNA that is Bolaxian Beast, a race of beings known for their fierce breeding lust.
Isobel is afraid to trust the huge Kindred warrior with her heart and the safety of her young son but when fate throws them together, she has no choice. When Hail's beast comes out, will Isobel run from him…or bond with him?
You'll have to read Bonding with the Beast to find out…
Customer Reviews
The Kindred
Yet another brilliant book from ‘master’ author Evangeline Anderson, about the Kindred, an alien race finding love and romance with females from Earth. All her books are highly recommended, her characters are always well rounded and believable, her storylines sexy and exciting. Well worth five stairs.
Four and a half
I love it when this author returns to her Kindred series as they are outrageous, totally over the top and such fun. Add in the sexy times and there's a really good reason why so many readers enjoy the thought of escaping humdrum reality with a Kindred of their own ! This book whilst a little shorter than others in the series ( more a novella ) still adds a little something to the overall storyline but it's primarily about this couple finding each other.
Isobel is a divorcee who's started all over again with her son Brandon who has Aspergers. She's a devoted mum, very protective and the bond she shares with her son is lovely to read about. Isobel is going to catch up with an old friend on the Kindred mothership but is bowled over when her ride arrives. Not only is Hail the biggest Kindred Isobel has ever seen but he also happens to be the guy who has been haunting her dreams! Hey that spooky enough but when Brandon says he too has dreamt of Hail things start to take a very strange turn .
Ok now using a child with any form of autism as a plot device could go either way but it works beautifully here. Told with a sensitivity that makes Brandon an intrinsic part of the story it was heartwarming to read about his interactions with Hail who with his unemotional responses seemed robotic enabling Brandon to connect without the fear that could make human interaction so problematic .
It's Hails way of turning off his emotions that drives this story as although Kindred he is part Baloxian which means he has a rage inside him that turns into a true beast when released . Meeting Isobel puts Hail in a quandary as he wants to feel but also fears he might harm her but things don't quite go as Hail anticipates meaning the author gets to have fun with her characters and of course eventually give her readers the happy ending they hope for.
I received a copy that I've voluntarily read with no requirement for a review. These thoughts and comments are my own honest and I believe fair opinion
