Synopsis (Goodreads):

Atlan Warlord Kai, Journal Entry 1578, Earth: I've searched for months. My female, my mate, appeared and disappeared like a ghost, a specter who torments me. Her scent haunts me, body and soul. My beast hangs onto control by a thread. Soon I will lose the battle with mating fever and succumb to the savage fury, the agony turning blood to fire in my veins. Soon, not even our mate will be able to save us.

Warlord Kai knows his mate is out there, somewhere on Earth. She is alone, hunted by both the Hive and the Coalition Fleet's Intelligence Core. Both want information she is unaware she possesses. Knowing she is in danger enrages his beast, pushes him ever closer to madness. There is nowhere he won't go, nothing he won't do, to find her. Protect her. Claim her.

The beast will protect her from friend and foe alike. He knows no mercy, no compromise, no doubt. One look, one touch, one moment spent with the woman destined to be his, and one word repeats like a mantra in his mind...MINE.

Thoughts on Bad Boy Beast: Kai is up and he has a lot going on. By that, I mean his beast needs him to find and claim his mate and there are some VERY BAD INDIVIDUALS trying to get their hands on her. Which is not good since that means she's in danger.

And when a warlord's mate is in danger, his beast will do anything to make sure she doesn't come to harm. (As an aside, while he'll do anything, the alligator attack wasn't instigated by Kai, it was just a sweet side effect of a bad guy going after Lark in the wrong place.)

So. Kai's in a protective mood (understatement) and Larkspur is in danger. Only, she doesn't know she's in danger. She's just a human lady who likes to take compromising pictures and sell them as a side hustle. She definitely doesn't realize that one of her pics captured something it shouldn't have. Now she has everybody gunning for her and the only one she feels safe with is the big Atlan Warlord who keeps growling MINE at her.

Man, I like these beasts. They're straightforward and more than a little bloodthirsty.

As another aside, I kinda thought we were reaching the end of this series because we've run through the Warlord group on Earth, but BOY is there some big setup for the future. Will it be part of this series? I have no idea. But THINGS ARE HAPPENING and mates are probably in danger and I AM HERE FOR IT.
