Synopsis (Goodreads):

In the middle of an alien invasion, a big, tough, tattooed former mercenary is finally going to chase down his woman.

Camryn McNab knows love is a lie. Okay, maybe not for everybody--her fellow soldiers on Squad Nine have managed to fall in love in the middle of a vicious alien attack. But it's not for her. She comes from two people incapable of love. For now, her life is about survival, fighting to protect others, and kicking some alien raptor butt. What she doesn't need is a certain wild, bearded, tattoo-covered soldier always underfoot, messing with her things, and driving her crazy. But no matter how hard she tries to outrun Hemi Rahia, she can't seem to shake him, and a terrified part of doesn't even want to...

A member of the Squad Three berserkers, Hemi knows his squad has a reputation for not following the rules and being a little wild. Former bikers, mercenaries, and...other less savory things, they fight hard and party harder. But Hemi has known for a while now that there is only one woman for him. One courageous, sexy, attitude-filled woman he wants to claim as his own. But he has to catch her first.

Tasked with a top-secret mission deep in alien creeper territory, Hemi and Cam will fight side-by-side to achieve their dangerous goal. Their chemistry is off the charts, but persistent Hemi wants more than Cam's body...he wants her heart and soul as well. As their battle with the aliens turns deadly, they will have to fight not only for their love, but for their very survival.

Thoughts on Hemi: HEMI! Man, I like this guy. The gleefully chaotic beserker has insane focus when it comes to the woman he's determined to woo. He's just...he's just Hemi, okay? He throws himself into everything he does whole-heartedly and gives it his all. It doesn't matter if it's regarding eliminating an alien threat or trying to convince Cam how perfect they'd be together. The guy goes all in and doesn't back down.

Cam, on the other hand, is a little more reserved. She's more guarded with her heart and more careful when it comes to putting herself in danger. Which isn't a bad thing, necessarily, because saying hale and hearty is kinda important. But the heart thing sucks for poor Hemi. He really has to fight to show her that he's in it for the long haul and isn't looking for a simple fling.

Beyond the romantic entanglements, things are heating up with the Gizzida. The new weapon (or at least I assume what was revealed was the weapon they'd been hunting for. Maybe I'm wrong!) is nasty and could spell the end of humanity if it isn't stopped. Naturally, the survivors put their all into doing what they do best and kicking alien butt while taking names.

I knew I'd love the beserkers when I got to their books and I'm thrilled so far. Ash is up next. I'm ready for him!
