Heart's Prisoner

Dark World Mates, Book 1

He's not like anything Lana has ever encountered.

Asset X: Massive, deadly, and a little terrifying to say the least. A devilish warrior, and a killer. Captured on a hellish world after attacking a military campsite and now imprisoned in a state-of-the-art cell inside one of the military’s top bases, Lazris. Lana has been assigned to "study" him; to learn his secrets and gain his trust, if he is ever allowed to set foot out of his cell. As a top behaviorist, it is the biggest hurdle of her career.

Asset X - or Xerus as he is called - won't give up his secrets easily. He is difficult, elusive, and dare she say, unfathomably alluring...despite his seething demeanor and hard, frightening physique. Something subconsciously draws her to him. Something wildly irresistible. Even if his wicked smile and needful gaze could just be a ploy to win her trust and escape his cell. She shouldn't think of him like that. He is an alien after all. And possibly their enemy.

Xerus claims he is on a mission. A mission to destroy. And he cannot afford to fail. If he dares let Lana get close, dares open his cold heart to her, she could compromise everything.

This book contains heated intimate scenes and some violence. It is intended for mature listeners.

First Sci Fi Romance

This was such an amazing book! It really felt like a movie. The humanity, romance, suspense, and overall character concept and overall story breakdown was out of this world

Couldn’t put it down!

Amazing! Absolutely loved this from start to finish. I will be reading this entire series.

paranormal DRAMA

Good drama good action. Slightly slow .at beginning. but interesting. not a lot srx but one nice encounter. good job mentioning dark skinned female and male. It mattered to be mentioned in background. It is appreciated. Torres was a evil a$$. Yes. worth a credit.

Awesome Book!

I absolutely loved this book! I believe it is the first I read by Olivia Riley, but I look forward to reading many more if available! The plot was interesting and kept me captivated throughout the entire book with suspense and great details that made imagining easy, but very thorough. It could probably use a little more romance and maybe even earlier in the story, but it did make for a great surprise when it finally did happen towards the end. The narrator did an excellent job the entire time, but especially with the different characters because she just made them so much easier to understand and see in my mind. I will actually make an effort to find more things narrated by her since it seems rare to find such talent, in my opinion. I kind of wish the story of the main characters continued, but also feel very satisfied with the ending being as is.

love it

loved it but wish there was more story with the home world at the end
