Synopsis (Goodreads):
As the battle against the invading aliens intensifies, a group of bad boy bikers and mercenaries will stand and fight for humanity’s survival…

Squad Three berserker Dom Santora has an ugly past he can’t forget. Born and raised in the darkness, he spent his life before the alien invasion as a Mafia enforcer. He’s found some meaning fighting against the aliens with his fellow berserkers, but he knows his soul is too stained to ever find redemption. And there is no way he’ll ever deserve the quiet beauty of a woman like Arden Carlisle.

When the raptors invaded, Arden lost her husband and children in the first horrible, bloody wave of the attack. Since that terrible night, she’s survived, but she hasn’t been living. Hollowed out by her grief, she’s found a way to keep going as the comms officer for Squad Nine. But lately, color has started to seep back into her world, and the person she sees most clearly is the dark, handsome, and lethal Dom.

Dom and Arden are two damaged souls who find each other in the darkness. But the Gizzida are putting the final pieces of their endgame into place. The aliens want the Earth and to wipe out the human survivors once and for all. As Dom, Arden, and the berserkers work to find a deadly alien bomb, they uncover the true horror of the aliens’ plans. To have any chance at love, life, and survival, Dom and Arden will have to fight harder than ever before.
Thoughts on Dom: It's quiet, deadly Dom's turn to find his special someone while battling aliens to save the earth and her survivors from total destruction. Arden, who lost everything during the first wave of the invasion, doesn't necessarily seem like she'd be strong enough to take on loving a ex-mafia enforcer, but she's far, FAR stronger than she looks.

Not only does she take him on, she shows him that he's more than his past and completely worthy of being loved. All while dealing with those dang Gizzida and their nefarious plot to destroy life on earth as we know it.

So, yeah. Dom and Arden have a few mental roadblocks to get past before they end up together. Throw in a few dangerous situations, tricksy aliens who are wily in the worst sort of way, and a world teetering on the brink of total annihilation and you have a complicated, rollicking good time. Plus, THE TEASING DOM'S TEAMMATES GIVE HIM OVER FALLING FOR ARDEN IS SO DARN FUN. Mostly because they're all pretty much in the same boat. They all have their lady friends they'd burn down the world to save and they're all pretty determined to hold onto whatever happiness they've managed to find.

The end is coming and...I don't know how I feel about this. I've been rooting for these characters for a long time and I want them to defeat the bad guys and save the day, but I'm still sad to know it's almost over. That said, I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing how this all plays out. It's been a long, strange trip and I've loved every minute of it. Bring on the finale!
