Description

"Keep fighting, sprite. I like how you feel writhing against me... I'll like taming you even more."

-Masst

Hiding from a brutal world in a broken trash compactor, I'll do anything to protect the two orphans I call family, so when they're both injured during a storm, I risk everything to steal medicine from the market. My luck runs out when I come face to face with The Cruiser, the gigantic, ruthless alpha who lords over the entire ship.

He scents my omega pheromones through the layers of filth and chases me through the halls, and when he catches me, he reveals how cruel he can be.

He doesn't just want to mark me.

He wants to break me.

Crush me.

Own me.

I am loving this universe and this story is a fine addition. Em is struggling to survive and take care of her chosen family when she crosses paths with the alpha that will change the course of her life. Masst has plans to dominate and claim Em but she affects him in a way he never anticipated. I loved watching their story unfold. Well done! I’m looking forward to what else this universe has in store.

Crushed by the Cruiser - Sprite

‘I still want to own the little omega, but I no longer want to crush her spirit. The thought of her as a broken, mindless puppet disturbs me. I want to nourish her ferocity. The need to pamper and coddle sweeps the floor out from under my feet. I freefall as her bright green eyes superimpose themselves into my innermost thoughts. I want her. Every part of her.’

In an omegaverse where water is a commodity, VT Bonds creates an emotionally steamy setting with characters who have very specific needs. An omega with survival needs and an alpha who controls all in his sight are the two main characters.

Bonds has a strong series of novellas that are heart crushing and physically exhausting to read, as the levels of behaviors of each of the beings we meet are twisted and turned. Extreme Omegaverse!

I love V.T. Bond’s premise behind this amazing world. I always enjoy a good paranormal series and the author has done it again with this waterworld. I like that this story doesn’t fit perfectly into what we seem to think is believable - isn't that why we choose to read fantasy books. The story is sensual, exciting, and full of steamy scenes. The author is giving life to each charater and this wonderful new world. I’m looking forward to the next book in this installment and hoping the author dives deeper into the world and more of the side characters. Open your mind and get ready to dive deep into some unique reading. A definite must read for fantasy lovers!
Another great one

“Cruiser” Masst & Em. Waterworld theme. Em is the mother to her little orphans Tan and Boon and when they need medicine, Em doesn’t hesitate to get it. I love how she tries to save her adopted family but gets caught by the ship’s Alpha Masst. She’s fiesty and I love her spirit. The fact Masst is all protector and conqueror is thrilling. Their combustible romance is entertaining and I love this couple.
