I'm really loving these berserkers because HEMI and ASH have been fantastic books! Ash is a wonderful character and I loved that he had a softer side in his desire to study medicine. He tried once to be more than just a biker but he gets sucked back in to help family. His depth was really well done. I truly appreciate the realism of Marin’s character. She’s tough at heart and has a ton of bravery but she has no training when it comes to combat. I loved how real and scared she was before going into battle and that she didn't suddenly become this kick ass soldier.
That ending! Oh man, all the feels. I won't give things away but I was really happy with how things were handled as I had previously mentioned in a prior review about how their advanced technology seemed to fix everything. I also enjoyed the hints at other characters like Levi, Manu, and Selene.

A sexy, fast paced adventure
The good girl, Urey geek, and the bad, biker, soldier boy get together in this opposites attract high speed adventure. They tackle some action packed, tech problems that only the two of them can handle, and sparks fly from the very first page.

Ash is everything a geeky girl could ask for! This story was perfectly believable and the perfect fantasy at once!

Loved the game angle, and smart people falling in love is among my many forms of catnip. Ash and Marin were very cute and I look forward to future appearances from them.

An interesting pairing of a tough ex-biker soldier and a sweet, techy geek, whose romance started online before spilling into real life. I liked her a lot, she's shy and awkward, but she's also brilliant and brave, and kicks ass in her own way. He's the rough man with a big heart, and they share some great, steamy chemistry, although things do happen fast! The action's good, too.

Lots of fun-hot and sweaty action of all kinds. The video game element was a lot of fun!
I especially liked the heroine of this story. She seems very real: smart, brave with insecurities that make sense- someone I'd want to be friends with. When she gets in danger or trouble, it's for good reason. She's the only one in the group who can really deal with the tech stuff, and when lots of the tactics end up involving cyberwarfare, you can't just have a bunch of people with bikes and rocket launchers.
If you haven't read the other books in the series, read some of them first so you can get a better feel for all the secondary characters and the struggle humanity's going through.

Another Berserker falls in love! I loved this one. Who knew Ash had a geeky side?
Ash and Marin were amazing characters. Ash is a protective badass who has a sweet side. I love how he slowly works up to a relationship with Marin by playing a video game with her. It was quite adorable. Marin is a tech geek who is determined to decrypt the alien cubes. She pushes Ash away at the beginning because she believes he can’t be attracted to a geek. He kept pushing until she gave them a chance.
“She might not be PrincessBadass with a carbine, but she sure as hell was PrincessBadass with a comp.”
Another thing that I loved about this book was that Marin was terrified about going out in the field but she still does it. I love that she didn’t become this badass soldier but just relied on the Berserkers to get her through. I just loved the romance between these two. It was emotional, powerful, and sweet. It was just everything I love in a relationship.
“God, I’m crazy in love with her. Every bit of her. From the wild curls and sharp mind, to her fucking pretty toes. I love every inch of her.”
Things are really heating up against the aliens and they are getting sneakier. I really can’t wait to see what they will do next. Also the ending of this book was so emotional.

Ash Connors is more than a tattooed badboy biker! He harbours a healthy lust for the tech geek dealing with his team, the lovely Marin. Marin, like Elle, is a child of wealthy parents but that didn't make life any easier for her. More at home in a lab than in a society setting and she rocks as "PrincessBadass" her alter ego on the comp game the conclave use to pass time. Little does she know that her partner in the game is the one and only Ash!
Working on cubes that the beserkers had found, Marin determines that they may be able to crack the Gizzida firewall, but she is going to have to get into the field to do it. That alone is just about enough to make Ash lose control! But what will he do when an incursion into conclave territory leaves Marin in danger of getting up close and personal to the enemy!
Bad boy, smart mouth, sensitive soul and relentless tease, Ash is just superb. I loves learning all his secrets and Marin has a kickbutt side, it's just well hidden under all her geek! We get to catch up with Hell Squad and the Beserkers and poor Manu is going to have his hands full!!!

The story of computer geek Marin and tattooed soldier Ash who meet playing a computer game and end up battling alien's for real. A quick, simple read. I enjoyed it thoroughly. This is a new series for me so I plan to go back and read the other 13! Nothing deep and meaningful, just built guys and sexy times. Great.
