I am so glad that I stuck with this series and held out for the story of Xairn and Lauren! This book in the series is what I was hoping for. There was a good plot, the story flowed smoothly and Lauren was the type of heroine that I enjoy. She knew that she was attracted to Xairn, saw his flaws and struggles, accepted them and still wanted him for what he is. Lauren doesn't question her desire for Xairn or fight her attraction to the point of brattiness, she embraces it and sets out to get her man. Well, her hot, sexy, grey skinned, alien male.Now what Xairn is, is a dominant alpha Scourge with a double penis and a penchant for total sexual domination. You read that right. Double penis. I don't know where Anderson gets her inspiration, but one dangly bit per male is all I would personally want to handle, but hey, variety is the spice of life.When reading this series one really has to keep an open mind and suspend belief when it comes to anatomy. If you are squeamish about such things this is probably not the series for you. Lauren just has her work cut out for her convincing Xairn that what he needs from her she is willing and able to give. Xairn is willing to embrace her love but is fearful of accepting her total submission to his sexual needs.
I have desperately held onto this series to get to this book and I am glad that I did, but I think that I will step away and read a few different books before I come back to it; and I believe that I will come back. This just seems to be a good place to stop and I want to leave with a happy memory. There are many more spin off stories told in this series that I hope will be interesting as well. This one ends with Nadia as the focus and book 5 will be her story. I would like to see how things play out with her and Rast. There's definitely something that has to happen to make Rast a good match for Nadia and it will be interesting to see how that plays out.
Happy Reading!

Synopsis:
A warrior with a scarred heart who doesn’t know how to love. And the woman who must teach him how before it’s too late…
The son of the evil AllFather, Xairn is filled with conflicting emotions. On one hand, he has finally gained his freedom and cut the ties that bound him to his race and the sadistic male who is his father. But doing so has unleashed feelings in him Xairn would rather keep buried. Desires that he prayed would never manifest now rage through him and they are centered on one woman alone…
Lauren Jakes is the long lost cousin Liv and Sophie never knew they had. Abducted by the Scourge, she formed a connection with Xairn more meaningful than any other in his life. But though Lauren thinks she knows him, there is more to the huge Scourge warrior than she comprehends. A nightmare childhood and a cruel father have scarred Xairn’s heart almost past the point of healing. But that is nothing to the secret inside him—the forbidden desires coded into his very DNA itself, which urge him to commit unspeakable acts in order to sate his newly awakened hunger.
Now a conflict is brewing—both in Xairn’s soul, and aboard the Fathership where the twisted AllFather has hatched a new, malicious plot to bring his estranged son home. Can Xairn resist the brutal lust growing within him? Can he fight against his very nature which urges him to dominate and control any female he mates? Can Lauren heal his heart before the AllFather’s trap closes on both of them?
And can she teach him how to love before it’s too late?
