Asher by Nyssa Kathryn

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

She needs his love. He needs her safe.

When a workplace romance becomes something deeper for Lexie Harper, she’s devastated to learn Asher Becket is determined to keep their sensual touches and passionate kisses behind closed doors. But that’s not good enough. Lexie won’t be anyone’s dirty little secret…especially when she’s harboring a secret of her own that won’t stay hidden for long.

As an ex-special forces soldier with a target on his back, Asher lives each day with just two goals: put an end to Project Arma, the program that changed him forever; and keep his feelings for Lexie locked down tight. His life is a hotbed of danger, and he’ll die before letting it touch her.

Then Lexie’s secret is discovered by people so evil, Asher’s her only hope of staying alive. Instead of pushing her away, he’ll have to hold his greatest obsession closer than ever.
Asher

Super soldier baby!

The heroine: Lexie – she grew up with a drunk for a mother who hadn’t cared for Lexie as a child and now that she was grown, only contacted Lexie for money. Lexie had no idea how to be a mother so when she took multiple pregnancy tests and found herself pregnant, she was very worried about her future. She works at Marble Protection, a security and protection firm run by a bunch of former military men, including Asher, whom she had been sleeping with. Though he had a fear of commitment and had been keeping whatever he had with Lexie hidden like a dirty little secret.

The Hero: Asher (a.k.a. Stryker) – he was 32 years old and a former Navy Seal. He and his team were involved in Project Arma and without their knowledge were injected with a genetically engineered serum designed to turn them into super soldiers. Now he was out and co-owned Marble Protection with his best friends and former team members. He healed quickly was faster than almost any species on earth, has superhuman strength and other abilities. Lexie didn’t know anything about his abilities, it was too dangerous. He wanted her to keep her normal life.

The Story: Lexie had recently given Asher an ultimatum to commit to her or end things and they had broken up as a result. But Asher continued to show his interest in Lexie. He told her flat out that he was not willing to let her into his life more but also wasn’t willing to let her go and give her space. Lexie decided to wait a while before telling him about the baby.

The story was pretty good. I have always liked the accidental pregnancy trope, and this one was compounded by the fact that Lexie was carrying a baby that was the product of a man who had genetically modified DNA. Add to that, the people behind Project Arma find out about the baby and want to get a hold of Lexie to study the progeny of their experiments. There were also the relationship issues between Lexie and Asher. I am liking this series quite a bit so far and plan to read and listen to more of the books going forward.

This audiobook was told in dual points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Avery Caris and Oliver Clarke. Avery Caris has a nice voice, she sounds age appropriate for Lexie, and sound very natural, not like she is reading. Oliver Clarke has a good voice as well; he was good at using different voices for different characters. Though you could definitely tell he was reading.
