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

Tane Rahia is good at one thing—fighting. Before the alien invasion, he fought as a mercenary in the worst jungle hellholes. Now, he’s the leader of Squad Three—aka the berserkers—and he’s fighting to protect his brothers, his friends, and the last of humanity’s survivors. It doesn’t matter if he dies, he knows he belongs in the shadows, doing the dirty work and taking dangerous risks so others don’t have to. There is no warm woman, no love, and no redemption for him, and especially no small, sweet alien woman who he struggles to ignore.

Abducted from her homeworld by the Gizzida, Selena endured captivity and torture. Then she found herself on a distant planet called Earth and rescued by tough, heroic humans. She’s recovered, made a new family for herself, and come into a power that she never knew she possessed. She’s determined to experience everything life on vibrant Earth has to offer and to protect her new home. And she discovers that one battle-hardened, intense man is the only one who ignites a passionate desire that leaves her breathless.

The humans have fought hard, but now the Gizzida have created three deadly, humanity-ending bombs. Tane’s not happy that Selena’s help is vital in the fight against the aliens, and nor is he ready to face her stubborn confidence nor the white-hot desire flaring between them. But as they enter their final make or break fight, Tane and Selena know they need to fight as one. They may not survive the final battle, but they have to try: for their friends, for the planet, for humanity.
Thoughts on Tane: MAN, endings are tough. Wonderful and perfect and bittersweet all at once. On one hand, the payoff to seeing the couples you've spent 20 books with take their future into their own hands and do the thing they need to do is awesome. But...endings, man. Endings. I have a hard time letting go.

The final book for our heroes is definitely bittersweet. After everything the survivors of the Gizzida invasion have been through, they all deserve their happily ever afters. They've fought and bled and lost people. They've also found love and friendship and protected those who need protecting. The final holdout on the finding love front for Squad Three is Tane. And he certainly tries to fight his feelings. Hard.

But hearts are funny things and Tane's junk punches him a couple times until he finally realizes that no matter how much or how little time they have left, Selena is the one for him. She might have been shell-shocked and frightened when they first rescued her, but she's come a long way and she's ready for a relationship with the big berserker.

Does it take time to convince him? Yep. But Selena's ready and willing and she's not about to let her new friends and potential partner fall to the aliens invading.

Like I said, endings are bittersweet, but they're also wonderful and I've had a blast with the survivors and all their trials and tribulations as they work on freeing Earth while falling desperately in love. GOOD STUFF!
