Merrick's Maiden: Cosmos' Gateway Book 5

I love this series so much! I read it in 3 days, being sick can have a few perks. I can't wait for the next one.  Hurry please!

Merrick is one bad ass sweetheart. Addie is a fighter. You should read this book. Nikki Mann

A very interesting read, Addie was a very intriguing character even through she is deaf she doesn't want to be dependent on others and stand on her own feet. It was interesting to learn more of Merrick and see somethings from his point of view.

Overall Rating:  5 Rockin’ Stars Love is not defined by race, color or ethnicity; it is defined by the heart and soul.  Prime Warriors bond for life and cannot survive without their bondmate.  In this fifth book in the Cosmos’ Gateway series by S. E. Smith, she continues the story of Merrick the Leader of the Eastern Clan on Blaade. Merrick was captured during a mission on Earth to help his allies.  He knows that they are trying to retrieve him from his captors. His prayer is that they find him in time, because his time is running out! At the tender age of sixteen Addie Banks lost her hearing when she contacted Spinal Meningitis.  She has fought to become an independent, self-sufficient woman in a world without sound.  Addie has always been surrounded by love and her supportive family but she needed to step out on her own.  In order to support herself she had taken a job to clean different offices.  While cleaning she stumbles across a man (being) in a cell, chained down and in bad shape.  She knows that she must help him, but doesn’t know how.  When Addie begins hearing a voice in her mind, she thinks she may have gone off the deep end until she realizes it is the man in the cell.  Who is this man?  How can he speak to her in her mind? Merrick cannot believe that he has finally met his bondmate. Now he has something to live for, to fight for and he will find a way to escape and protect Addie, his mate.  He is imprisoned with no way to protect her or to claim her. Since he was taken, his captors have experimented, drugged and abused him relentlessly almost to the point death. His body cannot take much more and from the things he has overheard, he doesn’t have much time left before they kill him. Merrick knows that there are people searching for him that will not give up; he just needs to find a way to get a message to them before it is too late.  Will he find a way?  Can his people find him in time to save him and Addie? Hero – Merrick Ta’Duran 5 stars Heroine – Addie Banks 5 stars Steam: 5 stars Plot: 5 stars Cliffhanger: No Would I recommend this book: Yes! True love will always find a way around all obstacles and this book is a testament to that! Acceptance, love and really fantastic sex also help to push this love story into another place.  When you add a hot, sexy alien and a smart, full of it female you have an unbeatable combination! Would I recommend this author: Yes! Each book that Ms. Smith pens is an adventure for her readers!  Her characters are unforgettable and the plots are well thought out and moving.  If she is not on your must read author list, she should be for all lovers of good romance. ***Received an ARC of this book from the Author in exchange for an honest review***

Entertaining , romantic and funny . Her characters are strong and plot keeps you on edge. I enjoy characters that you are invested in and have their own story.

When will the next one be out?

One of the best in the series

S.E. Smith is a very good story writer. She is one of my favorite authors. I have read every book BN shop has available, but I am waiting for them to put book 1 of the Heaven Sent series and book 1 of the Zion Warriors series into the nook shop! Now back to Merricks Maiden....Another hit! Loved this book, it was long enough and I was drawn into the story, read all night because I couldn't put nook down until I found out what happened. I like that the author brings characters from earlier books into each new srory so we can see how they are doing!!!

I'm going to be honest here and admit that I never read the descriptive blurb. I just saw the next book in the Cosmos' Gateway series and put in my request. An earlier book in the series is when Merrick gets captured, and we even find out that he gets away, but his story wasn't even hinted out. Since he has been a secondary character since the first book, I was eager to get his story. It was after I started listening to this book that I realized that our heroine was deaf. And it hit me that I don't think I have ever read about where one of our lead characters was deaf. The author did a great job making sure that the character stayed true to the limitation the disability would cause. The narrator did a good job with the emotions of the characters. The men still sound a bit stiff, but overall it was a decent listen. If you like some sci fi mixed with your romance, this series just might be for you. Audiobook Jukebox provided me with this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

A good book with a happy ending. I loved it! A+++ ................. ...................................................

I Loved this Book i just can not get enough of this author or of the series she produces just could not put this book down  transports to another space and time WELL worth the wait 

Awesome book. Great story. Now just waiting for the next book about Core and Avery. Plus when might we see something about the others who have been "mated" in this series. Like Maria, Trudy, Helena and Natasha?

Cypher stood up straight, folding his arms over his chest. ''And what would this 'assistance' do for the camp?''

Hiya! *Kicks her in the face*
