Vair: Beyond the X-Club by Hettie Ivers

This is the continuation of Amy's story from The X-Club. It's nine weeks after her night with Vair and he's a little upset she has contacted him since. So he does the most natural thing and that is blackmail her into coming back to his club. She fears for her safety but she's still attracted to him so she returns. She either plays by his rules or her career as a journalist is over. But can Vair's actions be more than just blackmail? Could he have serious feelings for her? 

This book was hot! I loved the hint of dub-con in this story. Amy's attracted by Vair but he scares her and she feels like she's being coerced even though she doesn't put up much of a fight and always has a ton of orgasms. I loved Jay he's an interesting character it would have been fun to see some of his interactions with the Ks. I loved that Vair is pretty much telling Amy that he wants her forever but she's afraid and uses the blackmailing excuse not to own up to her feelings but eventually she realizes that he loves her and they agree to be together. This was a fun continuation to the original story by Anna Zaires. Great read.

The X-Club Review

The Krinar Experiment by Charmaine Pauls

This story is set before the Great Panic. Drako is sent to earth on a reconnaissance mission to find out if the Krinar and humans can coexist together but his pod crashes and he's badly injured and captive by the South African Secret Service. Knowing only torture by the hands of humans Drako's only goal is to escape and inform the Elders that humans are barbaric. Knowing that Drako isn't human the SASS get the help of a nurse from a nearby hospital. Ilse is a nurse at a hospital where drugs are in low supply and patients sometimes get turned away. When the SASS come and ask for her colleagues help she volunteers herself instead. What they show her is atrocious and the conditions they've left Drako in horrify her. After trying to help she's sent away. On her second visit she is forced to make it look like she's helping the SASS but her plan is to help him escape. When he does so thinking she has betrayed him and is as bad as the other humans he returns to Krina and Ilse becomes a fugitive in her country. When Drako returns to get revenge he learns that humans are more than they seem and a love blossoms between the unlikely pair.

This book so fast paced! It was crazy so much action and the side story about the black market was awesome. I hated that Drako was so unfamiliar with humans that he couldn't realize that Ilse hadn't betrayed him but only acted a part so that she could rescue him. When he returns to seduce her as revenge and then turn her over to his friend as his Charl I was sad for the both of them. Then she refuses and returns to earth and is captured by SASS! I was so happy when Drako showed up to save her. This book was definitely a rollercoaster of emotions. A great addition to the Krinar universe.

Krinar Revenge by Heather Heistand

This book is set after the failed resistance attempt in the original Krinar Chronicles. Conway has just lost his mother five years after she left to be a K's charl. He wants revenge for her death because Ks and their Charls don't die from aging only accidents so he's convinced it was murder. He sets out to join a resistance cell and ends up finding a beautiful woman. Venus works for her father and the resistance but when she sees Conway she wants him and the feeling is mutual. When an important K technology gets stolen from Conway by Venus' family members and he's left nearly dead she accepts the help of a K to keep him alive. Unfortunately things go south for the new couple. Can Venus and Conway save each other and begin a lasting relationship?

 This book was short and faced paced. We get to find out a little about another resistance movement. We see an evil K although in other books Ks have been shown as dominant and ruthless they've never been portrayed as evil which I truly feel Fevet was. I enjoyed learning about some new Krinar technology that doesn't exist in the original trilogy and some that do. This was a fun short story about two people coming together to fight a threat to themselves and humankind.

Krinar's Desire by Cara Bristol

This book is about Caitlyn she's an undercover reporter that's sent into a K building to find out more about them. But Arak the man in charge doesn't want to give away the K's secrets but he does want to seduce her. He does everything he can to get her to be with him. Unfortunately for Caitlyn he colleagues think she is being manipulated by the Krinar hunk and she finds herself in real danger. Can Arak save her in time?

 This book was fun I liked that we got to see more of the resistance but I felt bad for Caitlyn that she got caught up in such a bad situation. Arak was kind and seemed to have real feelings for Caitlyn and he saves her when she's kidnapped by the resistance. The sex was hot and the chemistry between Caitlyn and Arak was there right from the beginning. This was a fun fast paced addition to the Krinar World.

Eva is a sweet girl who's celebrating her birthday at club. When she leaves to find the bathroom she finds herself cornered by some thugs. An unlikely savior comes to her rescue a K.

He's determined to have her until he grows bored of him but luckily for both of them he discovers that Eva is the first person in centuries to keep his interest and he has no plans on letting her go. 

 This story was cute I loved that Zarken was so sure that he would grow bored with Eva but she's so different that, that doesn't happen. I loved Eva's innocence but that she was still wiling to see him despite her friend's warnings. When he leaves at the end of his stay and she's alone again they both discover that they miss each other and that they are the best thing to ever happen to one another and it was really sweet when Zarken realizes he was an idiot and returns for her it was really sweet.

Jarek is an adviser sent to earth during this time and the minute he sees Charlotte everything changes. He knows she's meant to be his and so he saves her.

She discovers that the violent alien invaders aren't all the humans thought they were and Jarek is kind and they plan on being together forever.

 I really liked Charlotte and Jarek they were a cute couple. I did not like Loomis he was really creepy. Jarek was nice but also possessive like all Krinar men. Charlotte is brave and sweet at the same time and the two of them have hot sex but the relationship between the two of them also grows into a long lasting union. A great short story.
