Synopsis (Goodreads):
Lodan Vorkan has been called many things in his lifetime—perfectionist, control-freak, monster.Thoughts on Hyperspeed Dreams: An augmented lady and the superstar First Division pilot are up and...things aren't easy. Not that I expected them to be. I mean, Tasha was augmented against her will as a child and has done everything she can to keep her remaining family safe. Lodan is First Division and they're not known for taking the easy path on anything.
As one of the Kordolian Military’s infamous First Division, he’s one of the most feared warriors in the Nine Galaxies.
As a pilot, his skill is unmatched.
He doesn’t like the unpredictable, and humans are exactly that.
One by one, he’s seen his brothers fall to these confounding creatures. Even the most battle-hardened and ruthless of them have succumbed to the Mating Fever.
Humans are trouble.
Humans bring chaos. Always.
When he encounters the strange human called Tasha, all his warning alarms go off. She isn’t anything like the other humans. She’s faster; stronger—artificially so. She has secrets; she tells lies.
A trail of blood-scent lingers around her.
She is not the kind of human he would imagine as his mate.
But Lodan’s control is about to be sorely tested—in more ways than one.
So, yeah. These two have a few speed bumps to get past. Tasha's distrust in everyone (for real. Being kidnapped and experimented on as a kid kind of caused some long term trust issues she's working on getting past) is one of the big ones. She's been on her own in a hostile situation for so long, the idea that she can lean on Lodan and his First Division brothers throws her. Throw in her kidnappers' way of controlling her and she's VERY slow to let down her guard.
Meanwhile, Lodan wasn't looking for his biologically compatible mate, but he's fascinated by Tasha from the first. Fighting against his instincts is only the first of his issues. He also has a persnickety AI to contend with. Plus, there's the group who stole and abused Tasha and put her in a terrible position. In other words, Lodan has quite a bit on his plate and his mating instincts aren't making things easier.
A reunion, a few answers, a surly AI, a well-planned incursion, and a couple who smolder whenever they get close. *thumbs up*
