Wrath by Laurann Dohner

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wrath volunteers to live and work outside Homeland, where he’ll once again be confined in a small space with other males. He was subjected to horrific abuse and conditioning and forced to view endless sex tapes of human females while chained to Mercile’s perverted machines. Wrath knows he¿s too dangerous and emotionally damaged to ever be with a female.

Lauren has just been detained by three big, buff, well-armed men – New Species. One of them really catches her eye. He’s tall, sexy and… her new roommate, apparently. Having never met a man this spectacular, she decides to taste every inch of his amazing body. Wrath is definitely open to that plan. The sex is incredible and he gives her everything she needs – but he’ll only go so far. Something is holding him back.

Lauren has to make him unleash his desire and Wrath has to get past his fear if the couple wants any chance at a future together.

The Hero: Wrath (a.k.a. 919) – he was recently released from an experimental breeding facility run by former Mercile employees. He is devoted to the cause and wants to be assigned to the task force to free other New Species. He doesn’t yet have friends or loved ones, so has no problem putting his life on the line to rescue others like he was rescued. Plus he knows the task force is all males and doesn’t want to be around females as he feels it might be dangerous.

The heroine: Lauren – she is a real estate agent that gets a call from her boss that she has to show a client an industrial building after hours. She is slightly wary about this since the industrial park was empty at that time of day. She is even more apprehensive when she sees the warehouse is full of shipping containers. Then a few big men in tactical gear came out from behind one of the containers.

The Story: The men held Lauren and questioned her about her coworker who had an emergency which led to her boss calling her to go to the warehouse. She tried to tell them that she barely knew Brent and had nothing to do with anything, but they ended up taking her with them anyway. They questioned her for hours but she didn’t know anything so couldn’t tell them anyway. When one of the guys, named vengeance nearly claimed her, another named Wrath stepped in and stopped him from hurting her.

I liked Lauren, especially after she learned that the guys are New Species and was completely on their side. She finds out that her coworker Brent was really named Bill and used to be a technician for Mercile Industries and tortured, raped and killed some of the New Species. While Lauren was with the three men, she ended up staying in Wrath’s room and things got pretty steamy.

I don’t get the women in these books though. The guys are always worried they will be too rough with the females, and the ladies just say, well there are other things we can do. If it were me, I would say let’s go for it and if it hurts I will let you know and you can be more gentle. They always end up doing it, but it makes things take so much longer.

This book is told in dual points of view via solo narration and was narrated by Vanessa Chambers. Vanessa’s voice is terrific, it is soft and feminine and she is fantastic at doing a bunch of different voices for different characters. For a book that only has one narrator, she is a great choice.
