Book 2 of the Resonance Mates Series. Davin is a throwback Alvian, he has emotions, the Alvians don't trust him but he is the best Crystallographer they have. He is also the Chief Engineer for their power grids in our former country of South America. Davin is very sympathetic to the humans who are held in pens and used for Alvian experiments. He wants to meet humans so that he can see how his emotions match with theirs. Davin needs to find his Resonance Mate to prevent insanity, the future for all throwback Alvian's who don't find their mate. He thinks his best bet is a human because he has no feeling for any Alvian. Rick St. James always wanted to be a doctor, his father who was a doctor before the crystal bombardment killed most humans, trained him and he has healing gifts of his own. Rick and his father were captured and he does not know what happened to his father. He is captured by the Alvian's later and becomes the de facto leader of the group in the pens. Rick is just waiting for a chance to escape. Callie O'Hara is the daughter of Jane and her mates (all brothers) Caleb, Justin and Mick. (See Resonance Mates - Book 1) Callie meets Davin when he visits their farm while she is still a child. She get to know him over the years and after approval of her parents, Davin tests her as his mate, he waits until she is eighteen to claim her a necessity after the pictures he has of her are sent to the Alvian council. The love story of Callie and Davin is sweet and caring, the addition of Rick to their marriage is more upsetting for Rick than for Davin, Callie is used to her parents marriage, Davin is just happy to have a Resonance mate and they know that Rick will be part of helping the humans they want to aid. Davin has plans for the humans and hopes to make the emotionless Alvians realize just how horribly they are treating the "Breeds" they think are savages. I like this series, that story has a good development, there is a prophecy element that gives the series a solid feel. Some of the characters are active in other books and that adds to the continuity of the storyline. Great series - this book was a bit slow - we had to wait for Callie to grow up and there was more world building but its worth it.

This story is again very entertaing, still has little in battle action but more than makes up for it exploring the interactions between humans and aliens. Very entertaing and keeps you reading to keep up with the developements.

The plot was very good; the characters also good. I enjoy paranormal romance. Multiple mates are a bit of a stretch, but the fact that there is true love between all of them makes it quite acceptable.

I didn't like the beginning of this story. It honestly made me cringe. Just felt that wasn't the best way to start a story and made Davin come off as heartless, cruel, a user rather than the sympathetic hero character. But once you get past the scene the story greatly improves. The characters themselves make you want to keep reading. You meet the O'Hara family, and you see the struggle that Davin has to deal with on a daily basis. ~There was a moment when I wondered if it was the same character, but as she describes his plight you begin to understand him and his actions a bit more. Then there was Rick. He greatly reminded me of the knight's code from Dragonheart "his blade defends the helpless, his might upholds the weak." Both men have suffered and led tough lives but still came out on top through their own stubbornness if nothing else. A good read, the plot is very original, and the setting of oven-taken-by-aliens earth is interesting.

Great read from beginning to end. This is a good series to read or stand alone books.

This book was really well written . . . I liked this book a lot . . . . .

Enjoy the series.
