Description

Vengeance keeps ’Topian Edwin Mysk from surrendering to the pain of the destruction of his home world and the loss of the genmate he might have had. One day, the Xeno Consortium will know his wrath. Until then, he will pursue his self-imposed mission to locate and reunite the massacre survivors.

When he lands on Laxiter 4, he finds the ’Topian settlement abandoned, except for a lone woman. Lala. Their immediate, intense bonding proves she’s his genmate, the one female his genetics have chosen for him—the one he’d believed lost forever. With Lala at his side, he resumes his search for the others.

But Lala is not the ’Topian he thinks she is. She’s a shapeshifting Xeno, a disgraced former general in the consortium military wrongly convicted of helping ’Topian insurgents escape annihilation. Edwin Mysk offers her best chance to locate the escapees and receive a stay of execution—as long as he doesn’t discover her secret.

Will the gulf between hatred and love, despair and desire, prove too wide for them to cross? Is their genmate bond a tragic mistake?

    Genmate Mistaken is the first book in the Genmate Dilemma series. Lala is being tried for the crimes her brother committed, but one last mission has her off trying to find lost ‘Topians. Mysk is coming from earth, on a quest for vengeance, that can only succeed with the help of the lost ‘Topians, when he finds across Lala, his genmate, on a deserted planet. Surrounded by mysteries and enemies and solar flares, could they find happiness in each other’s arms? Oh my goodness, this book was fantastically written and I felt like I was on the edge of my seat right from the very beginning! Lala and Mysk have a hard battle ahead of them, doomed from the very beginning with nothing except genetics pulling them together, yet they both want so much from their relationship and from each other. Lala has some impossible choices ahead of her, between her mate and her upbringing, the ‘Topians versus the Xeno Consortium, and figuring out what she should or shouldn’t do. She had an inner strength that wouldn’t let her quit or take the easy routes, but she also had so many vulnerabilities. Mysk is consumed by vengeance, but once he found his genmate, he also found bits of calm and peace. He’s driven, he’s devoted, and he has no clue that his world views are about to be rocked. Their connection is fast paced, and I loved that this book did not focus on the physical, but on building the world around them and setting the scene for all that’s to come. There is a lot of drama, a lot of danger, and a lot of heart pounding! This book ends on a cliffhanger, and I’m already dying to know what’s going to happen next to these enemies turned mates!
