"I want you. I hate it but I hurt to be inside you, to know what it would feel like to have you wrapped around me, and the pleasure I think could find with you. I've never wanted a female more. Tell me I can have you or help me remember that I can't ever forgive what you did to me. Say something, anything, to remind me why I shouldn't hurt to be with you so much it makes it hard for me to breathe."

Alright, before I launch into this review. Check your trigger warnings my friend. Because this book has so many I'm not even going to take a whack at it.

In a not so distant future, a sketchy big Pharma style corporation is running freaky genetic experiments on humans, combining their DNA with animals, and calling them new species. Our heroine, Ellie, goes undercover to bust this corporation. Unfortunately, she has to do some unsavory things to Fury, the male lead, in order to keep her cover.
Ellie's sacrifice pays off, and the New Species is granted their own home. Ellie becomes a dorm mom for some of the freshly rescued women, but she also runs into Fury.
Will Fury overcome his trauma enough to acknowledge the chemistry between himself and Ellie?

What I loved - This book was STEAMY. Steamy Scifi is my favorite genre. I added all fourteen of the other books to my TBR as soon as I finished this one because it delivered on the spice.

Why three stars? Especially if I said I wanted to add the other 14 to my TBR?
Okay. Look. I know my grammar is not perfect, even just in these reviews. But this author combined independent clauses with a conjunction but no comma. ALL. THE. TIME. Seriously. It was like every other page. I just couldn't do it. It really detracted from the reading for me. I 100% get that authors are human, but this was too frequent for me to just let it go.
The other star came off because the dialogue is often pretty stilted and jarring. Again, it was enough that it took me out of the book, or I wouldn't mark off something like this.

Who would like this book? Classic SciFi romance fans. This book is like Ice Planet Barbarians earth bound cousin.
