Terrible. Just terrible. Melina was an awful female character and the twins were just as bad. The story was bad. This was just not a good book.

Enjoyed the story, although there are several parts from other books using the main characters viewpoints but the information still already known if you read the other books in the inter-connected series. Not sure how she's going to deliver on the promise made in the final pages as well as have three other possible books in the series' universe but I'm excited to see.

I love reading a series where the story in each book parallel each other and intersect at points. This time though, it had been long enough where it took me a bit more to link the points with Carmen's story. Though that didn't take away from this story at all really.
This book begins quite a while before the actually story to give us a little insight as to what happens when twin dragons don't find their mate. Calo and Cree are witness to this and swear that they will never allow themselves to get that point. Fast forward now a couple centuries and the two of them have pledged themselves to the service of the royal family. They have distinguished themselves as quite the formidable team of warriors and are currently on a mission with Creon to rescue Vox. Only, they know time for them is running out for them because it is getting increasingly harder for them to control their dragons. They had always hoped to die in battle but it doesn't seem like it will happen.
As we already knew, Melina and her grandfather (Cal) were abducted years ago and ended up on an asteroid as slaves. Once the mine was abandoned, they eventually were the last two left alive and were just about to run out of clean air and food when the alarms sounded and they knew someone had landed. After much frustration, Creon agrees to take them and the animal with him. Cal decides that it would be better for Mel to keep pretending to be a mute boy but that soon leads to complications. Mainly when Calo and Cree are around. Mel doesn't understand the affect they have on her and she fears that their attraction to her would falter if they found out she was a girl. After all, they do think she's a boy. But when Cal has a heart attack, she's so desperate to save him that she doesn't care who finds out she's a girl. And it immediately makes so much fall into place for Calo and Cree Melina is lost now because she is truly alone even though the twins have promised her that she would never be alone again. Even so, she is determined to go home and have a normal life. It doesn't take long for her to realize that Earth is no longer her home though. And shortly thereafter she realizes that she also needs both Calo and Cree because of what Cree's dragon started when his control slipped. From there it's pretty much them trying to get to know each other better and the twins learning that Melina needs to be left alone sometimes no matter what they want. The ending was an interesting surprise. I figured that they would take her home to meet their parents but what happened in the village was something I wasn't expecting.
One thing that bugged me about this story was Cal aboard the ship. He acted like such an ungrateful bastard toward pretty much every Valdier that came to where they were staying. I get that he did that to keep them out so that they wouldn't learn Melina's secret, but I couldn't believe how rude he was to the people who saved the two of them when they didn't have to.
This wasn't the first book in a series where twins had to claim the same mate that I have read so, I admit, I was curious as to how these two would deal with it. Being all alpha dragons and all I couldn't imagine how they would deal with their jealousy when their brother got the attention of their mate. Needless to say it wasn't such a surprise when the two of them started fighting. Though their acceptance of having to share seemed to come pretty darn quick when Melina's dragon put them in place...
Sadly...I missed that there was no Zoren and Abby in this book.

I kind of gotta give the two of them credit though. Even though they have no idea what to think about the fact that their true mate is male, they accept it and try to do all they can for Mel.Spoiler
I don't get why their dragons and symbiots didn't just tell them that Mel was a girl. Why did they have to be so cryptic about it?One thing that bugged me about this story was Cal aboard the ship.

Melina & Calo & Cree
I enjoyed this book not as good as the last one for me but it was still a great installment to this series, and one that needed to be told in my opinion.
Calo and Cree were slowing going mad from there dragon's needing there mate. And it was really starting to affect them. Almost to the point where they would have been destroyed. How sad. It was breaking my heart.
They needed a mate strong enough to handle both of them because they are a part of each other. And here come this spit fire Melina. Not only did she survive being kidnapped and almost starved to death but was a work horse to on an alien ship with her grandfather.
She had to out wit and out maneuver a lot of aliens just to say alive. No wonder she was the right one to be there true mate.
I did find it to be a bit slow and repetitive from the other book but that's ok because we got to see it from her point of view.
I <3'd the end of this book it was sigh wonderful. :)

Would've liked more interaction with the royal family & more comic relief, but still a good installment.

A very bad last minute save by a weak mate against a stupid accuser
Spoiler
that no-one should have believed, and a trial that was un-fair and didn't have any proof. They didn't both "finding" the only witness that can have the truth. That the kid gets off after almost killing the twins and he lies about chasing her, and lied about touching her and no one even questioned it. He should have been imprisoned NOT be sent to training. The counsel of the "town" should have been all punished.Spoiler
That the Dad told them and nobody bothered believing him over a "boy"Spoiler
weak character that runs off, gets winded and doesn't even try to see what is going on with her mates.moreilly1917's review against another edition

Interesting that the most timid heroine of yet ends up with the twin dragons. Steamy scale 3 of 5 (Audible)

This book really frustrated me. There was so much talk about how the twins needed a strong mate that could balance them and keep them calm, but she literally gives in to almost everything they say. Also, they repeatedly don't tell her vital info and make decisions for her and she lets that shit slide. I mean, at the very end they basically decided they were going to get her pregnant and literally said "We'll tell her after" WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!?!?!?
That's on some Edward Cullen shit and I am so not team Edward.
