This is a review for the Duology Progeny, which includes both books. I liked the first book better than the second book. But I had three major hang ups with this Duology:
There was an Epilogue at the beginning of the first book and it mentioned a tracker. The tracker was removed. But the way it was removed was not authentic. I do not want to go into detail here, but if you are interested, read the spoiler.

The next hang up was about DNA and Blood Plasma. All science fact were not explained at all and they don’t seem right. (view spoiler)

And my last hang up was that the second book was at least 50% smut. We have an important meeting, wait put some smexy times in. I don’t know how they got anything done with only one thing on their mind?

So you see: There were good ideas in this book, I really wished that science facts would have been researched in great detail to come up with an authentic story line. A lot of things at the end stay unexplained. But there were good ideas too and I liked the slow relationship building in the first book. All in all I’m not gone rate this book, because I really don’t want to give less than 3 stars. ...more

Solid 4.5 from me! In the second installment of Rebecca Rathe’s debut duet, we have the conclusion of Six’s story….You’re in for a roller coaster ride. First, we have the excitement and intrigue of figuring out how to get Bennett back from the clutches of his father. And then once we’ve reached the peak of that excitement (like I was really going to give any of that away…) we’re kept on the edge of our seat… meanwhile we get to see Six’s interactions with the rest of the group as they continue t ...more

Retribution jumps straight back into the story with a whole bunch of action, steam, and all around relationship building. I'm not gonna lie, Retribution had me all up in my feelings for a few chapters there. Did I cry? I'll never admit to it. All the steam was absolutely delicious. The storyline pushed forward at a fantastic pace and has only left me wanting more. I finished the book before bed, woke up and tried to read more just to remind myself I had already finished. The ending was beyond sa ...more

Who knew sharing could be this hot?

Book Review:
I loved part two of the Progeny Duet. It is smut-heavy but still balanced by an entertaining plot line with loads of action.

There are MF, MFM, MM, MMF, and group scenes, including MM bi-awakening (MMM).

Audiobook Review:
This book is not safe for listening in public places. You will find yourself blushing, and your pulse racing as Jake and Bridget Bordeaux give life to Six and her men. Jake's sexy growl as he reads the MMCs' parts ...more

Quote from the tw at the front
"and a human centipede type situation that is sexier than it sounds"
This almost made me spit out my drink but I just managed to instead dribble it all over myself.. Skills!

The actual situation wasn't like that, thankfully!!

Most rh books are either stand alone or 36802829 long series so this being a duo is a bit different but not bad, everything is pretty neatly tied up i ...more
