Fans of Laurann Dohner will be all over them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bryk and his son Weld are looking for a woman. Don&#8217;t be crass. They want a wife and mother to make their house a home. But poor Sadie, because the Crakiars are cray cray and the Crakian world is even further insane.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This book isn&#8217;t as good as Vork or Axil. I guess Bryk and Disty the draquier don&#8217;t do it for me. However, this book introduces so much more of this world. Ava Ross builds on the Crakiar planet, moons, and denizens, filling out everything she&#8217;s introduced before. It&#8217;s fascinating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>One of the things I really love is she checks in with past characters, and we find out how Julia and Axil are doing, Gaje and Thea, and Vork and Evie, even how the cat and brindle get a spotlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bryk also introduces us to the two main characters of the next book Jorg and Lily&#8211;two broken souls looking for redemption. Rom-com redemption. Let&#8217;s see how Ava Ross puts the next book together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary advance copy of this book<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/havecoffeeneedbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/BR-IG-Bryk.png?resize=640%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Bryk by Ava Ross\" class=\"wp-image-10454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/havecoffeeneedbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/BR-IG-Bryk.png?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/havecoffeeneedbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/BR-IG-Bryk.png?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/havecoffeeneedbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/BR-IG-Bryk.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/havecoffeeneedbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/BR-IG-Bryk.png?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption>Bryk by Ava Ross<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<p><strong>About Ava Ross:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ava Ross fell for men with unusual features when she first watched Star Wars, where alien creatures have gone mainstream.
