Synopsis (Goodreads):
Rescued from captivity by a group of rather intimidating Kordolians, Noa finds herself recovering at a strange facility in the middle of the desert. SynCorp's medical experiments have left her with an impossible ability she can't control, and nobody really seems to know how to help her. She's fragile and shattered, a mere shadow of her former self, and she has nowhere else to go.

She doesn't know what to make of the Kordolians, especially when she can't stop their thoughts from leaking into her mind. The silver-skinned warriors are both terrifying and protective, and when she encounters a dark, mysterious presence in the most unlikely of places, she realizes that at least one of them might possess abilities similar to her own.

The question is, does this intimidating being intend to help her, or harm her?

Warning: This book is a science-fiction alien romance. It contains swearing, violence, sensual sex scenes and silver aliens with fangs. It's definitely recommended for readers aged 18 and over.
Thoughts on Infinity's Embrace: I can say with ALL HONESTY that I didn't expect to like the silent assassin as much as I did. He was a MESS when we first met him and it took time for him to work through the conditioning he'd been subjected to and find something to focus on that wasn't all about mayhem and murder.

That thing he ended up focusing on? Noa, the human experimented on by SynCorp who now has a whole lot of crazy going on in her head. On the plus side, Ashrael has been trained in controlling the very thing driving Noa batty. Which is a major plus for her, because now she has someone who can teach her the ins and outs of not letting her newfound power get the best of her.

I really, REALLY liked Ashrael's transformation from a brainwashed assassin to someone willing to face down anything to keep his special someone safe. He seriously came a long way and it was great. Also, his complete focus on Noa was sex-ay. Assassins have insane focus, man. INSANE.

My soft spot for emotionally stunted warriors who fight hard and love harder is endless, it seems. I'm all in and I'm planning on staying this way.
