2.5 stars: After a weak start, this ended up being a pretty good (not great) read. It's similar in style to Lora Leigh's Breeds, so fans of that series would probably like these books.
This book is # 2 in Laurann’s new series. Where book # 1 has a more serious feel because it’s setting up the world that the New Species live in. This one has more moments of humor.
Trisha Norbert is an ER doctor. There’s an emergency in her ER. That’s when she meets Slade, who is a New Species. New Species are men made from humans spliced with animal DNA. He is a canine breed, who ends up on Trisha's exam table wounded when he’s rescued from the lab that created him. She can’t forget him and she...more

Recommends it for:
fans of smut, romance alone doesnt hold it afloat.
I really love the world of New Species, and the characters, and I will even be going directly into Valiant after this, but the romance didnt impress me in this one. I would give it 3.5/5. This is a true smut series. It doesnt try to cover up that fact too hard. Its the only books I have read that are so out-right smut. I usually read for romance alone, and if I happen to find good romance in smut? So be it.

Way too silly at times. I had to DNF this one because I did a lot of eye-rolling while reading it. SUV tumbles down a ravine, hero & heroine are on the run from the bad guys trying to kill them but hey, let's stop and have some sexytimes even though said guys are still looking for us. If that's not bad enough, heroine is captured by bad guys the next day, is almost raped by one of them and hero saves her at the last minute and THEN, after she has a crying fest about the would be rape, she's...more

I liked the first book in this series better than this one. I still enjoyed reading this one and I will continue reading the series because it is really quite entertaining - in a smutastic sort of way.
What kept me from loving this story is that I didn't like Slade as a character as much as I enjoyed Fury, and even some of the supporting men in this one. Dr. Trisha was enjoyable and she is a fun character but Slade is an ass. Here is why I feel this way...

I liked this second installment in the New Species series even more than the first. I loved Trisha's character, because unlike so many female leads in books I've read recently, she is pretty honest about her emotions. She's honest about wanting Slade, and she's honest about being hurt by him, but still wanting him again. and she speaks that to the other characters. By both Trisha and Slade speaking honestly about what they think, even if what they think is a misunderstanding, they clear things u...more
Slade Book Two of New Species by Laurann Dohner led me back into the world New Species. Slade is one drop dead sexy man who only has eyes for the good Doctor. Once they realized they knew each other, I waited to see what rekindling would happen. Slade and Trisha have an explosive attraction that will singe the eyes. Yet I couldn’t stop reading or seeing the bestial side of Slade when in protection mode.

My quest for a good Ellora's Cave offering pt. 5.
One of the most stilted, wooden and illogical romances I've ever come across. There was not a single believable (romantic) emotion and/or act based on it during the first quarter - my point of escape.
The unappealing smart-ass hero falls heavily for his mate while groping her in a drug induced haze and shuns her one year later when he has a chance to actually come to know her because he doesn't recognize her any more (different hair colour!) and is...more

This is turning into a good series. I really liked Slade and Trisha's story. I knew something was up with them from Fury. Anyway she is he new Dr for the New Species people and Slade is one of the officers and leaders of his people. As it turns out they meet some months before when Slade was first saved from Mercile pharmaceutical company and was in the ER. He had a heated almost trist with the ER doctor but he was drugged out of his mind at the time and doesn't realize Trisha is that same docto...more
The book that gives us hope.
I was very happy to find out the new species are in fact able to procreate, and I mean it was kind of sad imagining this wonderful new species of gorgeous beings was just gonna disappear once they died.
Moving on to the book. This was the story of funny, charismatic, smart ass, super hot Slade and Dr. Trisha. They somehow end up in the woods far away from home with some freaks hunting them down and still they manage to spend some quality time with each other.

I really wanted to like this book. Actually stopped in the middle to try another 2 books from LD. So happy I did love her books. Well came back to Slade and the first half of the book kind of dragged, but the second part picked up and enjoyed it.

First sex scene was fan your self sexy.
Slade smart mouth character was throughout book
Slade as alpha picked up
Slade shows his Jealous side

This book is marvelous!! Dr. Trisha Norbit loves her job as the on-site physician at Homeland, the New Species living compound. The day he was freed from the Mercile testing facility Slade was shot and ended up in Trisha’s ER. It is a year later and Slade is living at Homeland and he still remembers the doctor from the hospital, but he does not remember clearly enough to know Trisha is the doctor who haunts his dreams. Human hate groups are still targeting New Species.

I'd argue that this is another winner in the series. Were there things about the story that bothered me a bit? Sure. But overall, there is a great story here.
Laurann Dohner has got a great concept. A new species trying to set up in the world rifling with hate-group-hicks just waiting to inject a little bit of suspense into her stories along with the 'we love animal-men' romance that is bound to happen. It's a guaranteed page turner.

Dr Trisha Norbit -- super, smart..working in an emergency hospital when Slade is brought in. This was the day the New Species had been freed. They knew nothing about them. When she went to check on him, he awoke and nearly ravaged her thinking he was still in his cage, thinking she was a stupid Dr to unchain him.

Slade, a rescued and surviving member of New Species, a genetically engineered super breed of human/animal crosses, is head of security for the now independent New Species nation based in Homeland. Slade is strong, confident, and more than capable of taking care of his own, until the arrival of the new human doctor, Trish Norbit. His strong attraction to her is infuriating. Slade is torn between acting on the undeniable sexual attraction for the "doc" and keeping her at arms length. His memory...more

It started off a 5 star book the sexual tension between doc and slade was just plain yummy, but after the hot bang bang it kind of died down (too much like real life lol) I had no idea where Slades undying Love came from I guess the doc P*ssy whipped him that bad...I got the impression miss Dohner didn't like the character she created (slade) very much, why else would she make other men..well species the hero every time the heroine was in distress I mean come on that's like romance rule number 1...more

Slade at the beggining a bit of a jerk
Slade after the accident
Slade when he lost it
The story used the same narative way as the first book: past - huge thing happening - slow built-up - semi huge thing happening - nice ending..
I was totally fine with it.. The main story helped the background story flourish and it was also pretty funny in many moments..
i enjoyed Brass a lot.. The story was nice and a really good surprise was awaiting us around the middle of the book.

I was actually not expecting to like this book as much and was simply going to read it so I could then read Valiants then I could get to Justices.
What to say though. While I love this book I have to say Slade..... is not my favorite guy. He's not the type of romance guy that you read and want for yourself. His character is shallow, anooying, and unbelievebale. It isn't him that makes this a good book it's the woman and the other "background" characters that made me enjoy this book. Get ready th...more

This was a rollercoaster of emotion. It was adventurous and action packed. It made my stomach turn because of an attempted rape scene so beware to those readers who are sensitive to that subject matter.
This story ripped my heart into tiny pieces, because of a misunderstanding between them and that lack of communication that one time created a whole lot of separation angst. This story also made me shout in excitment because the 'so called impossible' became possible. And finally it made me swoon...more

The premise of this book:
A man nearly rapes his doctor when high on sedatives. Both, however, find the experience so amazing that they're both fantasizing about it a year later. The man then fails to recognize her when he sees her again, and offers only a one night stand because he's hung up over his remembered encounter with a woman he hasn't seen in a year. The woman is then offended by her near-rapist offering a one night stand when he wanted to have sex with her for days before. They then fa...more

Slade is the second book in Laurann Dohner's New Species series. I liked this book more than the first, mainly because our hero Slade is not quite as much of a crazy unhinged a-hole. He has his moments to be sure, but all in all I preferred his personality much more than Fury’s.

This is quickly becoming a favourite series of mine. I did read this one out of order because I wasn't able to get a hold of Slade before Valiant. I have to say, I really enjoyed this book. I love the rough kinky sex and how Ms. Dohner writes it.

In my opinion, this one wasn't as strong as the first. However, it still sucked me in from the beginning.
What I enjoyed

He's badass. He literally kicks all the bad guys asses. Therefore, I love him.
-The doc. She was pretty awesome. She handled shit pretty well, including some messed up situations.
-The trio protecting the doc. They are hilarious.

2.5 stars, though I'm not sure if the low rating comes from the plot synopsis or not....everything it describes takes about 5 pages ...then Slade seems to become an entirely different book....which fo me, was a pretty crushing disapointment, the summary was why I picked this up!
Anyway, there were quite a few parts I didn't like, but damned if I can even remember any of them now! oh wait, some of the trash talking b/w the good guys and bad guys was a little too...simplistic is the nicest way I ca...more

“Good conversation is very important, dont you think? Its so stimulating and pleasurable if done right. As a doctor it may surprise you how much I've learned on the subject. Its been a long times since I've had a really good conversation and sometimes I nearly ache from wishing someone would stimulate me. But unfortunately I havent met anyone yet who I want to really talk to.”
