Synopsis (Goodreads):
A beastly pirate. An Alliance agent.
A dangerous mission that pulls them together.
Undercover in the shady parts of Riala, Agent Kira Medina has one job: to find out where human women are disappearing on the planet. A group of off-planet pirates raise her suspicion, but the whole mission is endangered when her cover is blown by an Ezak-X pirate.

When the Ezak-X offers to help her instead of blowing the whistle, Kira realizes she could use an inside man. She immediately regrets her decision when she starts working with Xeegan. The Ezak-X is annoying and reckless. But although he gets on Kira’s nerves, she can’t deny the way he makes her heart thrum…

From a life in captivity to a life as a pirate…
Xeegan has fought to survive since day one. He trusts no one, least of all the Alliance. But when a group of off-planet pirates offer him a job that seems too good to be true, and his acquaintance goes missing, the human female working for the Alliance might just be the key to finding out what’s going on.

No matter how much the female frustrates him, her sweet scent makes him feel things he’s never felt before… She clearly needs his help on this mission, whether she admits it or not.
Thoughts on Heart of the Beast: Genetically modified warriors are my THING lately. Genetically modified warriors who do what they can to help another genetically modified warrior (ZORQ!) are SUPER my thing, apparently. Basically, I'm saying Xeegan and Kira (and ZORQ!) worked for me. The Alliance might have had some questionable security procedures in place (seriously, tho, don't go blowing things up on the words of one person), but those three were a-okay in my book.

Let's talk about Xeegan (and Zorq!). Because of his non-official status (due to him taking Zorq and running for the hills), he's basically a pirate. Which seems like he'd be a funny person to hook up with an Alliance agent, but when the mating urge hits, it hits hard.

As for Kira, she's pretty trusting for an undercover agent. It lands her and Xeegan together, so there's that, but she's quick to follow him home when he invites her despite not really knowing much of anything about him. Still, she gets a mate out of it, so things worked out.

Enjoyable (mostly because I'm smitten with Zorq, dang it!), but this book didn't have quite the zing of the others. Still, it was a good way to wile away the day. Because genetically modified warriors are my thing.
