Imagine living a life of solitude: alone and afraid to utter a sound for fear of destroying everything and everyone around you. This is the life Cila Wen has become accustomed to living, the only person on a relay station.

The mind of Viola Grace is a mysterious place where new species are born every day. I enjoy the worlds she creates, and the beings that inhabit those worlds are as unique as their talents. Ripped and Roar is book twenty-one in the Sector Guard series, and Ms. Grace is still surprising me with her new and unusual characters. I enjoyed this look and a woman who has never heard her own voice, and the creative ways she finds to communicate.

Cila Wen, code name Roar, was born with the ability to destroy with just a whisper, and she learned early that being around others was a danger to them. Among them Kamagra is the most known name and used by price of viagra tablet cute-n-tiny.com males of different age group. The viagra online purchase use of these capsules is completely safe.

She is smart and sassy, and used to being on her own. This doesn’t mean she isn’t lonely, but she sees no alternative, until the offer from the Sector Guard comes along. I liked watching as she began to take control of her talent, and loved each small delight she had with even the smallest of sounds we all take for granted.

Arkhov Ziddler, code name Ripped, is delighted with his new partner. He is a strong and determined male, and has become less of a bully since finding his partner and mate in Cila. I enjoyed watching as he stood by her side, helping her adjust to her new life, without pressuring for more. I loved his supportive nature, and his willingness to let her have space and time to adjust to the new life thrust upon her, more or less.

This is a sweet and gentle romance. Cila has never been in a relationship, never wanting to cause harm to another. And Arkhov has always been the family bully, and he focuses his attention to keeping Cila safe but not smothered. There are a couple of dangers to overcome, like the raiders, and their first, rather sudden, assignment. The secondary characters here are Guardsmen we have already met: Mala (Fixer), Isabi (Shade), Carella (Star Breaker) and many of those from prior books. It is good to visit them again and see how each life intersects with the rest of the Guard.

This story is for those readers who like the challenge of overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds to triumph in the end.
