Review of Numbers (New Species #14) by Laurann Dohner


Stories 14 and 15 in the New Species series. It is advisable to read the books in order, to get the most enjoyment from the series.

140
Dana is visiting Homeland when she meets a New Species who tugs at her heartstrings. As a widow, she knows firsthand the pain he’s suffering after losing his mate.

Mourn isn’t so certain that talking to a human female will help him heal but he desires her. It’s possible she could become his new reason for living.

927
Candi lost the male she loved, but never forgot him. New Species are her only hope to seek revenge for 927’s death.

A human female claiming to have been reared at Mercile has demanded entry to Homeland. Hero rushes to Medical and comes face-to-face with his past. One look at Candi and the life he’s built since gaining freedom comes crashing down around him. 





Overall Rating: 4.5 Rockin’ ★★★★☆

Are you ready to enter the world of the New Species? I know I was and my expectations were met with this long awaited book.  In this installment of the New Species series, the multi-talented author Laurann Dohner combines two stories into one book, Numbers.  We are given more insight into the workings and relationships of daily life at Homeland. These stories are science fiction romance and you will not want to miss reading more about the characters we have grown to know and love so much.  This is about how two New Species find their destined mates and eventually their HEA.  

140’s story was first introduced to us in book 6 when he and his mate were rescued but she was dying from the drugs being pumped into her body by the vicious scientist of Mercile. When she died he felt part of him had died and accepted the name Mourn.  Dana lost her husband to cancer and was also grieving from his loss.  She decides to visit her brother, Paul (the human nurse we've known throughout the series) and meets Mourn when he is brought in to Medical.  She is drawn to the devastated grief-stricken male.  A bond of friendship blossoms between the two wounded souls as they find their way to a new beginning together.

927 saved Valiant's mate, Tammy in book 3.  He has taken the name Hero and is well liked among the species.  Candi's life was changed forever the night she witnessed her father murder her mother.  She has been incarcerated in an asylum since she was sixteen and finally is able to escape and get to Homeland where she demands the New Species help her avenge her male.   Malnourished and struggling to survive Candi is a survivor and when she and Hero connect the story unfolds with unexpected twists that will keep you reading until the end.

Both stories explain to readers and fans of the New Species series, the daily life at Homeland and we also get two happily ever after endings.  Survivor is the theme of this remarkable book.  Both couples survived losing parts of their souls but through their mates those pieces are made whole again and redemption is found.  Beautiful love, possessive males, and addictive erotic scenes only enhance this reading experience created by Ms. Dohner.  We highly recommend you add this book to your library.

Cover Reveal
Title: Long Shot
Author: Lexi Whitlow
Release Date: October 15, 2015
Cover Designer: Cormar Covers - https://www.facebook.com/CormarCovers


  Long_Shot_Final   synopsis  
Long Shot tells the story of underground MMA champion Josh McRae, and the girl he fell for years ago--his stepsister, Dr. Natalie Shaw. In his eyes, she's the smart, sexy, cunning country girl he could never have. That's why he kissed her on the night after her father's funeral. And that's why he left right after for a drunken night on the beach and never came back to explain himself. As much as Josh "Long Shot" McRae secretly adores Natalie, she hates him and everything he stands for. And hell, she hates him worst of all because he broke her heart right before she left for medical school. Now she's back in her small island town, and she hasn't seen or heard from Josh in three years. She assumes he's been fighting, fucking, and drinking--the things he best at. And she ain't trying to get in touch, even though she knows he's only ten miles away on the peninsula. When he shows up on her doorstep one night with a dislocated shoulder, a cut that goes down to the bone, and a look on his face like he wants to take a bite out of her... she can't just turn him away, can she? Nat and Josh end up in a whirlwind romance--and an adventure--that neither of them ever planned for. But maybe it's just the kind of long shot that they both need.

Tell me your deepest, darkest secrets. I dare you.

Addiction comes down to one simple, primitive concept. Desire.

My name is Dr. Dixon Mathews, and I’m New York’s finest shrink. For $500 an hour, people tell me their darkest, most sinful secrets.

My own addiction? Sex.

I might be certified in solving other people’s problems, but not mine –
I know I’m a lost cause. I don’t do relationships. I don’t even do the same woman twice.

But that’s all about to change, thanks to two entirely different women who awaken my deepest desires.

Who will I choose?

I know who I should choose, but I never said I was the hero of this story, or even the good guy. And besides, who wants to be good, when it feels so good being bad?

My tale isn’t for the faint-hearted. If you’re game, strap yourself in and expect the unexpected. But don’t say I didn’t warn you…

Achingly sexy and highly addictive, the first in the Sinful Pleasures Series will have you hooked. Driven to Sin coming very soon…
