Brawn

New Species, Book 5

By: Laurann Dohner

Narrated by: Vanessa Chambers

Book 5 in the New Species series.

One look at Brawn, and Becca is wondering how he’d look without his clothes. He’s also instantly attracted to her, but has sworn never to touch a human female. They just aren’t sturdy enough for the type of rough sex Brawn enjoys most. When he learns he’ll be living under the same roof with Becca, Brawn simply sees it as a chance to broaden his knowledge of humans. Hopefully he can do so while keeping his hands off her.…

His good intentions go astray when they’re both kidnapped and locked together in a cage. Brawn finds himself reliving a nightmare when he’s once again subjected to breeding experiments at the hands of New Species’ enemies - who will use Becca to get what they want. Brawn and Becca will have to depend on each other if they hope to survive.

Listener Advisory: While each New Species book is a standalone, the greatest enjoyment will come from reading them in series order.

Brawn & Becca's story - Another winner for Dohner

Any additional comments?

Brawns and Becca's love story is just as hot and intriguing as all the other books in this wonderful series and was once again narrated perfectly by the wonderful Vanessa Chambers....

Brawn finds himself experiencing a return to his former nightmare existence when he’s once again subjected to breeding experiments by a former Mercile scientist and her henchmen. Brawn has a choice: let Becca help him achieve orgasm and collect his sperm in a cup or be hooked up to a cold and impersonal collection machine. He'll do anything to keep them from throwing Becca in with the other male captives held with them, Species who've been tortured beyond their limits, both medically and physically, their sanity now in question. One way or another, their captors will use Becca to get what they want. Brawn knows he must protect her any way he can.

Becca realizes she and Brawn must work together if they're to survive their captivity. For her, that's no hardship. She's been attracted to the sexy Species, with his beautiful blue cat eyes, since the moment he first arrived at her house to move into her spare bedroom. But as sexually appealing as he is, it's his tender care of her during their captivity that ultimately steals her heart. Once rescue comes however, she doesn't count on Brawn turning his back on her. It takes a consequence of their captivity to bring them back together, but will the misunderstandings Becca's interfering father fostered to tear them apart be too much for their fragile relationship to endure.

Read the series and now reviewing

Loved. Loved this book. One of my favorite books in the series next to Fury and Tiger. I love the progression of this book and the feeling of each character. Brawn is such a interesting character and I love his personality. there are several parts in the book where you can feel the tension and there is enough going on that it is not predictable. I love the progression of the characters, they get caught up in themselves and then fear of facing those consequences, then overcoming those barriers. beautifully written and enjoyable.

Beautiful!!! Best again!

I loved everything! Each book tells a difference story and I can’t stop listening! Lausanne Dohner best author ever!

So happy I fell upon this series

O have read other books from this author which is why I purchased this. This one was dark but I couldn't put it down. I lost sleep listening to it. It was a good investment and I will listen more than once. Great job Lorann.

Lovely Fantasies Come True

Real life problems are shed to light in these books and I love to see how they are resolved. Nothing like real love, sexy men and hot sex to get your mind off troubles and focused on bringing your fantasy to life with the one you love....I'd love to see Brawn dance!

Love this series!

I liked the chemistry between Becca and Brawn. It was interesting how Brawn resisted Becca in the beginning and then it was flipped after what they went through together. I loved how it worked out afterwards though and can't wait to read and listen to the next one!

Still Loving New Species!

My love for New Species continues to grow. I enjoyed Brawn all the way through until about the last two hours of the book. The story started off funny, with immediate intensity and suspense, I was in love, and then as everything was starting to come together things got really redundant and frustrating! It was like these two lovebirds couldn't get beyond their own stupidity and angst. Thankfully, by the last half hour of the book Brawn and Becca finally got their acts together and I was madly in love all over again!

This series has great narration, hot alpha men, and I like how the author has found interesting circumstances for the characters to find themselves in on their journey toward true love and an understanding of their new existence. These are not standalone books and I highly recommend starting from the beginning with fabulous Fury!

Loved the story

I loved the story but hate hate hated Dr. Trisha! I hated her trying to give advice!! I hated her trying to force her opinion and control!

So far my second favorite book

I love that the author makes the scenarios of each book different. I dont like how often the author gas her characters report themselves. I'm like they just said that, but with a few words changed. I also dont like the lack of communication between the couples involved, i understand it's a book and new species are kinda just learning the ways of humans but it needs to be a bit more realistic. It is a good series.

Lots of hot Brawn in this book

Would you listen to Brawn again? Why?

Very well written book.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Brawn?

Eight times...my gosh

What does Vanessa Chambers bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Good voices

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I kept wondering how the author was going to pull this off without going too dark, she did a great job.

Any additional comments?

This series is dominating my life right now. My house is so clean, my yard work all caught up. Never folded clothes as fast as I did while the two characters were in a cage. You know you've got it bad for a book when you look for things to do to listen to it.
