Morgan Downs’ life is unexceptional. She’s stuck in an abusive loveless marriage and often made to feel inferior by her parents because of her speech impediment. Although as bad as her life is, she never expected to be kidnapped from her home and taken to a private military base to become a test rat for a science experiment. But things change when Morgan meets Alpha. She should be afraid, he isn’t quite human after all. Alpha is a genetically enhanced super soldier, and Morgan has been captured to bear his offspring. Yet, Morgan finds that Alpha isn’t the real monster behind those confined walls. They are both captives of the insane scientist, Dr. Ryder Strong.

Should have a trigger warning

Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2018

Verified Purchase

There is a rape scene, it is graphic and due to this the story should have a trigger warning. The story is told from the perspective of the female lead and male villain lead, the hero's perspective is not given. This is an instant love story so it's simple and not too deep. The two meet, there's drama, they meet in a more intimate way, there's more drama and then everything is conveniently wrapped up in a nice bow. The person who was violated doesn't even need therapy after her very terrible ordeal. I wouldn't read it again or keep it on my device but I did finish it. The heroine was weak and I skipped the racy scenes, though I read one which was short and bland. There is potential in this story but it's not quite there yet and grammatically, it does need help. 2/2.5 stars.

Damn good read!

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2018

Verified Purchase

My second time purchasing a book by this author and I'm glad that I did. Let me tell you about the cool, calm, collective, intense, intriguing, calculating, mesmerizing, sexy as bell Alpha! Wait...I just did. This man was so smooth. He tricked me into believing he wasn't up for the job. I was shocked at who the culprit was. I mean I guessed one but not the other. My poor Morgan, she was so misused. Her parents were a piece of work, and it's sad to say that you find parents like hers everyday. I love her 360 though. Alpha came through on the clutch baby. I said all of this to say this book was damn good and I can't wait for more books by this author!

*Semi-spoiler*

I read up to the 46% stage, skim through to the sappy Lifetime ending with its 3 - 4 kids, and will now delete this hot mess from my Kindle.
This had the bones of a good read, but the bad writing ruined it. The characters were two-dimensional at best, and the villains - the evil mad-scientist doctor, and the main female character's family - had me rolling my eyes. The run-on sentences, unneeded extra words tacked on to sentences, overdone explanations, etc. had me correcting stuff more than actually reading through the story...which was painful in itself.
I don't claim to be a good writer or anything, but I know that I could have done better than this. You know - having a dictionary handy does a lot to improve one's writing. Hell, just having Wikipedia and Wiktionary up while you're tapping away would help. When the author used the word impervious instead of imperative, I was done.

Wow Wow Wow! This book is incredible. I could not put it down. This was my first by this author and it won't be my last.
******************
Spoilers ahead

Morgan lives a hard life in a family that uses and abuses her. Their abuse causes her to stutter so badly that she retreats into herself. The only people to love her were her grandparents and in their finals acts of love, they leave her a very wealthy woman. She has an abusive husband who seems to be in love with her beautiful younger sister Monroe.

Morgan is kidnapped one day and learns she is to become a breeder for genetically modified supersoldiers in asecret lab. And thats where we meet ALPHA, the first to survive this experiment and leader of the super soldiers.

ALPHA is everything. I want one. He loves Morgan at first sight and protects her from the Dr.Frankenstein at the lab.

I wont give too much more away, but this book is filled with action, hot love scenes, who done it and more. It's so well written you will not want to put it down. If I could give it 10 stars I would. BRAVO!!

Alpha + Morgan = ?

Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is the first interracial, science fiction, romantic mystery that I've read. It's a bit unbelievable but enjoyable.

Alpha is a genetically enhanced super soldier. Morgan is an African American who is abused by her husband mistreated by her family. She is abducted to breed with Alpha. The fact that a super soldier is created in a lab with DNA from some type of alien is unbelievable. Even more unbelievable is the fact that he can procreate with a human female.

There is some mystery and intrigue with an unexpected villain. It was enjoyable enough to read in one sitting. Even though everything is tied up neatly, the ending felt rushed. I would love to read more about the other genetically enhanced super soldiers and how they adjust to life outside the lab.

disappointed ** spoiler alert **

Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2020

Verified Purchase

I’m not sure if this is one of the authors first books or not, but it kinda reads like it is. The plot has been done before many times over by numerous authors, but this was entertaining enough even if it was too wordy and at times simplistic. The super soldiers were made out to be a lot scarier than they were and then all of a sudden they can speak??! It would have been better if we saw an evolution of the soldiers going from animalistic to an awakening of their humanity. What we got was boom they can speak and are telepaths. The characters weren’t fleshed out. Again, perhaps this has to do with the lack of writing experience? My biggest gripe though is the steamy scenes are SO clinically described. I mean, it’s clear Tiya Rayne hasn’t written too many steamy scenes. I wonder if she’s even read any?! 👀 Lol. That’s how lame I found some of the descriptions to be. Then again I read A LOT of dark romance, RH, PNR so I’m used to better word play.

A quick note about Morgan’s looks and the family dynamic. First, the family, ummm...sooo cliche! It’s like the author saw an episode of Dynasty (the OG one, not the modern one) and modeled Morgan’s mother after Dominique Devereaux. I skipped past anything that had to do with her family because it was all one big eye roll.

Lastly, I felt like at every turn we are reminded in some way that Morgan is a bigger girl, with darker skin and kinky hair. We know that. I want more details of the men, not of Morgan’s pudgy stomach!

This could have been a five star book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 15, 2019

Verified Purchase

I'm always looking for something new to read (I live in London and it takes a long time to get to work), so I took a punt and it paid off.

This is my first time reading a Tiya Rayne. I downloaded a sample and it got me interested from the get go. So I stumped up the costly sum of 99p (that's a joke peeps, I'm not that tight) and settled into my bus journey.

Morgan is repressed, passive and compliant. Psychologically abused by her parents and physically abused by her husband. She is kidnapped to be used as part of a secret government experiment.

Destined to be forcibly bred to produce super soldiers, she manages to find love in a desolate place.

This book has many twists and turns to keep you gripped from start to finish. Thoroughly loved it.

So why only four stars? The typos, the spelling mistakes and at times the grammar was highly annoying. It's 'dragged' not 'drug'.

This irritation took some of the shine off what essentially is a really good read. Enjoy peeps 😉

I literally could not put the book down, cliche I know but it's the truth. I loved all the characters especially Morgan and Alpha. The mad scientist was brilliantly detailed and descriptive every detail played out in my head as if it was a movie! Excellent story and the end was heart warming.

I was gripped

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 17, 2021

Verified Purchase

Finally, an interracial/science fiction/alpha story that is well written with a well thought out plot and no grammar or spelling mistakes. I was gripped. The heroine felt realistic, the hero was also written very well and the plot had just enough to keep me hooked. A great start, even better middle and well concluded end meant all the baddies got their comeuppance. This could have been a distressing read, but it was written in such a way that I was able to push through. Reading this has made such a nice change from the usual fluff that comes with this genre of book and I look forward to more from this author.

Really enjoyed this book which is first in the series. Really felt for Morgan having such horrible parents. Learning Morgan aS sleeping with Trevor was not really a shock. It was a shock that she had been the one to sell her off but at the same time not surprising.
