Synopsis (Goodreads):
He shattered her world. Can she trust him with her heart?

Giant spiders, walking trees, bloodthirsty vines.
For Jeneva, it's just another day trying to survive in the jungles of Ankau.
Until the sky ripped open, and the true monsters came through.
Now her world is under attack, and the only place of safety may be at the side of a rock-hard scaled alien.
But he's filled with secrets - how can she trust him?

Vrehx cares for nothing other than the destruction of the Xathi hordes who burned his home and killed his family.
But when a weapons test goes horribly wrong, the battle spills over to an uncharted world.
The planet is filled with lethal native life...but nothing is more dangerous than the human woman who obsesses his thoughts.

When war rages around them, can they fight together, or will his burning need for her drive them apart?
Thoughts on Vrehx: No lie, guys, this book was EXACTLY what I was in the mood for when I picked it up. A dangerous world that just seems to get more dangerous the longer you're in it. SUPER terrible bad guys who know nothing beyond the desire to conquer and destroy. A group of (mostly) good aliens who accidentally brought this awful plague of hive-aliens to this planet and now have to figure out how to contain them. A tough-as-nails heroine who butts heads with a (sometimes) overbearing hero. Danger! Chaos! Berserker rages!

Yesssssssss.

This book is absolutely up my alley. Jeneva and Vrehx snarl and growl at each other enough to make me grin. Jeneva doesn't have time for idiots and Vrehx's main mission is stopping the Xathi before they have to chance to annihilate another planet/people. He's single-minded and focused and Jeneva throws him all out of whack. In THE BEST way.

As for Jeneva, Vrehx's appearance on her planet it a shock, but he does bring her answers to questions she didn't know she needed to ask. She's smart enough to realize the aliens on Vrehx's ship might not know the dangers of her planet, but they're her people's only hope for survival against the Xathi horde.

A whole lot of danger (both from the planet and the invading aliens), plenty of lingering looks, a few bloody battles, and the set-up for what looks like it's going to be an epic series. I am so in.
