Core's Attack

Written by S. E. Smith

Narrated by Samantha Cook

Thrust into a deadly game….

Avery Lennox has been called many names, but bond mate was never one of them. Her position as Chief Security Officer for Cosmos Raines guarantees that her life will never be boring—especially after her genius boss decides to open a portal between Earth and Baade, a world filled with an annoying, male-dominated species called Prime—but after meeting one particular alien, Avery decides to pursue him through the portal.
The trip to another world was…indescribable, but it’s when she returns home that Avery is in the most danger. Someone else is as fascinated with Core as she is, and believes Avery is the perfect bait.
From the moment Core Ta’Duran met Avery, he was captivated by the human woman who shields herself with an icy demeanor and a gun. Avery knows he wants a lifetime with her, and even though she is fighting their bond, she still appears on his world with a tantalizing offer: three days together with no questions, no ties, and no regrets.
When he follows her back to Earth, instead of finding Avery, he discovers a menacing message left for him: agree to be hunted or Avery dies.
Can Avery and Core turn the tables on the ruthless killer who wants to display Core as a trophy in his private collection, or will Core lose the most crucial battle of his life?

Reviews for Core's Attack

[madison_fairbanks · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Core’s Attack by S. E. SmithBook 6 of the Cosmos’s Gateway series. Science fiction romance with erotica elements. Best read as part of the series. Avery is the chief security officer for Cosmos and is in a prime position to learn more about the aliens that are going through the Gateway. She agrees to three days with Core, no strings, no regrets. She doesn’t want anything permanent which Core doesn’t understand but he is willing to play the temporary game. There is an evil scientist that is also interested in Core and he uses Avery as a bargaining tool. The last third of the book is intense and full of jeopardy. Much of this volume runs parallel to the prior book and there are several scenes that are repeated in this book but from a slightly different perspective. Listening to the audiobook version, I had to check a couple of times thinking I had accidentally restarted the wrong book. I then referred to a print copy which I had and realized it was deliberately going over the same timeline. Don’t despair. It’s a romance so an hea is guaranteed. An entertaining and sexy hot series.
