What is there not to love about this book? Enki was engrossing as the damaged hero with dark secrets. Layla was likable as the heroine who (was and)saw herself as weak, but who became brave and strong through the story. I am looking forward to the next Darkstar book.
I don't know if I'll ever get tired of these growly, dangerous Kordolians. The only time they show a softer side is with their special someone and even those times are lined with a little steel. I mean, they ARE fierce, unpredictable mercenaries who are part of an empire that is only no longer ruling the galaxy because these specific soldiers rose up and toppled them. You gotta expect a few rougher than normal edges with them.That said, Enki is a little more dangerous than most. The entity insid...
Loved this book. The heroine can take care of herself and the romance is great
"And now he had found the mythical female organ called the clitoris; that tiny, delicate pearl of flesh which gave him such great power." Does the author mean the g-spot? Because the clit isn't mythical... it's literally the cherry on top, you can't miss it. Anyway, I wasn't sure what I was getting into here because I've not read the previous books in this series. I knew I might not understand some things and while that was definitely the case, it wasn't too much. I assume some events and relati...
Audio – 5 starsStory – 3.75 starsEven though there were a lot of similarities (boarding on cookie cutter territory), I enjoyed this book slightly better than the first one. As much as I dislike insta love, I’m willing to go with it in this series because of the whole fated mate thing. At least the insta is felt by both the hero and the heroine, so there’s very little relationship angst. And there’s also none of the one-sided reverence nonsense. The heroines love and protect as fiercely as the he...
What I've discovered about Ms. Carven's writing - she's good at worldbuilding and when she focuses on stories where there's an immediate danger to escape from, she can really maintain the tension and keep me turning that page late into the night. Layla dela Cruz is an actress who's trying to escape from a huge scandal back on Earth and has been sent to a far off planet to start fresh, kind of like that Jennifer Lawrence/Chris Pratt movie, Passengers. She's supposed to be cryo-sleep during the jo...
Shattered Silence had an interesting, captivating story. I couldn't stop reading it. Yes, there were a few stuff that bothered me—plot-wise—but the good far outweighed the bad so I promptly forgive and forgot them.There were also hints about, I pressume, the next book in this series that I found hugely intriguing so... write faster, Anna Carven, please! *wink, wink*
Enki has a Tharian spirit stuck in his head. It's driving him nuts.Layla Dela Cruz is an actress who's trying to escape a scandal back on Earth. Her ship, the Malachai was headed for a secret planet that was exotic and lush maintained for Earth's wealthiest people. Except the ship that she was on gets hit by millions of tiny asteroids and she's the only one that manages to escape alive. Enki feels compelled to rescue her. In the rescue attempt they face bad Kordolians and two other bad alien rac...
Enki Zakanin has been the white elephant in the room character in previous installments. This story blows open the back history which lead to his current situation. :)This story was improved from other installments I've read which makes me hopeful that it might be a viable series I can get on board on.
Much better than the lastThis story is much better than the last book. Enki and Layla were likeable. Layla held her own when it got tuff. She showed those pompous old Empire guys a thing or two when it came to underestimating humans. Enki was a crazy Kordolian with a ghost trapped in his head. Together they had great chemistry, had a great adventure, and I loved it!
