Brawn isn’t exactly excited to be working with humans on a security detail that searches for the remaining hidden New Species facilities but is determined to do his part for his people. Brawn has been adamant about his dislike of the thought of being with human women. How disturbing for him to feel attraction to his new boss’s daughter. Unfortunately, things take a devastating turn as Brawn and the object of his sudden attraction are targeted by evil doctors with a disturbing agenda.

Widow Rebecca Oberto is used to dealing with her overbearing father and he’s out of his mind if he thinks she is turning over her house to his latest soldier. When Brawn walks into Becca’s life more than her house gets turned upside down. Attraction, passion and danger make hot bedfellows as Brawn and Becca must resort to desperate measures to ensure they survive what has befallen them. Will they be able to endure the horrors that lie ahead?

Brawn is a hot erotic feast burning with intense emotion and dramatic suspense! This is another excellent addition to Ms. Dohner’s New Species series. I admit when I read the synopsis for this story I thought there is no way this story will be as good as the previous four, but oh was I wrong. Brawn and Becca bring on the goose-bumps with their gripping emotion and sensual romance. The scenes between them while they are trapped are fraught with affection, agitation and excitement. The drama that comes after these scenes brings the story to an even more climactic place. I found the plot turns in this story to be stirring. I couldn’t get enough of Becca’s hard-nosed resolve and Brawn’s sentimental desire for her. Brawn shows his emotion more than most of the previous New Species males and I love it! Laurann Dohner’s Brawn is an erotic paranormal treat!
