OH, MY HEART!!!
What just happened? My heart has broken and mended itself back together in a matter of 284 pages. How? Why? My heart is shattered and I am sitting here in all my feels. That is the thing with Bonds’ books. She makes you feel. She makes you live and breathe these stories… These characters… And you just can’t help but cry and bleed along with them as they are broken and slowly trying to mend themselves. Wow, what a story. Macy was everything. She was brave, she was scared, she was strong and she was broken. She was so many things, but she was never complete. Not without her alpha. Commander Steil was the missing link. A link they didn’t even know existed. Until it did. And then… it became EVERYTHING. A lifeline. Wow, yet another amazing story of heartache, love, and a real sense of family. We see other beloved characters and even some original Alphas and their mates. Love this world.

Story: Fashion designer Macy (h) is on the cusp of achieving the success she’s longed for when she’s kidnapped by International Science Corps (ISC) soldiers to be experimented on and changed into something new. Commander Steil (H) ponders the changes in his team as they’ve found their mates when he finds himself drawn to the deserts of Mai’Cus where he finds Macy has been left by the ISC. Macy struggles to accept the changes wrought by the experiments that have transformed the beta-born woman into an omega, even as Steil tries to help his mate, as her knows her to be. Lots of action and adventure takes place, but the story is more about Macy’s balance of her new persona and struggling to retain her old one, even as she comes to accept Steil. A dark and intense fated mates Omegaverse romance with plenty of heat, including heats, rutting, claiming, knotting and more.
Audio: The narrators did an excellent job with this story and really helped bring it to life from the written word. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I really like when authors choose to use two narrators, a male narrator and a female narrator, as it makes such a difference to hear male dialogue with a male voice and female dialogue with a female voice. Curt Bonnem again does an excellent job with the tone of voice he brings to Steil and other male voices, and Lessa Lamb gave Macy voice that seemed to capture her character, from the opening chapter when she’s working as a fashion designer to times when she’s struggling with the changes in her identity.

Have been lucky to get the audio version, and the narrators did a fantastic job. Normally I prefer books but in this case, I have to admit that the story was presented in such a good way that it felt like literally watching the story in front of my inner eye. The narrators have been picked very carefully and it was the perfect choice!
As for the story, I have to say that the main character Macy … you definitely have to love her, you cry along with her but you’re also living her life to the fullest while listening to it, or reading it. You feel like part of the whole story and you can’t put the book down nor can you pause the audio. You need to know what’s going to happen as the story goes on, and it gets even more intense, the adventure and action will pull you in and not let you out of it anymore.
It’s a must-read and if you’re up for something really cool … listen to the audio as well.
This story of heartache, love, and … finding your other half is simply amazing! They had to learn that together everything’s possible.

Macy is a young beta who has worked really hard to get her design business off the ground and then she is kidnapped and shot up with who knows what and then dumped on a planet not her own and she is shocked by the giant monster 7 feet tall with a huge tail. Steele is a warrior he and some others banded together to fight the Intergalactic science corp., who have been stealing women and making them omegas and dumping them on this planet. Since all his men have found their true omegas and he was the only one who hasn’t but today is the day when he jumps off a cliff and he knows that he is going to save his omega. They both seem to feel the same way as far as whom belongs to who but they have a lot get through and mostly that is with her and how she copes with side effects of what they put in her body as well as the war being fought on this planet.. Macy adapts better than you would have imagined. Kidnapping, torture, violence, danger, and a new life. An interesting alien love story. I read a copy without obligation. I volunteered an honest review.

“I just don’t want to lose me. I don’t want to turn into someone I’m not.”
Revived and Rutted is V.T. Bonds 5th book in the Warrior Elite series. Curt Bonnem and Lessa Lam narrate this story in a distinct fashion that provides listeners with another level of enjoyment. It is the story of Gaitlin alpha Stein who is tortured by not having found his omega lifemate.
Until he does, in kidnapped fashion designer Macy.
I loved the beginning of the book. Unless you have read books in this series, you would never imagine just was changes would be happening in Macy’s life so shortly after a photoshoot with a toddler.
But once again we find a heroic female lead, one changed against her will by evil ISC scientists, and injected with trackers. One who is is resilient and strong. One who will grow to protect her mate, even through her fear.

I loved this story Steele finally found his mate. Was so excited for him. From the last story I read with him in it he seemed kind of sad and maybe envious when his teammates found their omegas . This was his time to shine. He got himself quite a fighter when she was forced from her job as a fashion designer and made into an omega. The characters were great the portrayal by the narrators was perfect. I really enjoyed this story and the narration from the talented narrators.

I loved this book. It began very different from the previous books and I was hooked from the start. Macy is a strong, driven woman. I liked her personality and was kind of sad she was forcibly changed from a beta to an omega (the change itself interesting, but that also effected her personality, and I would have loved a story about “her” from the beginning). But still, I found her no less fascinating. She struggled between the new persona that emerged, and trying to retain who she once was. I really liked Steil. He knew something was happening to Macy before he even met her. He’s my favorite male lead in this series.
I listened to this on audiobook dual narrated by Curt Bonnem and Lessa Lamb. This is my favorite of Curt’s narrations. I really liked his voice for Steil here. I also thought Lessa’s voice was perfect for Macy and depicted her personality well.
Overall: 5 stars
Performance: 5 stars
Story: 5 stars

This is another book in a series that is as addicting as it is disturbing. Thank goodness Macy found sucks carrying alpha because the ISC basically tried to ruin her life all in the interest of science. The rutting is graphic and steamy. Not for the faint of heart is definitely true. I received an ARc.

Macy is a beta who is just minding her business, working hard to make a name for herself (and doing quite well actually) when the ISC decides to make her their business. Steele is just trying to adjust to the changes with his team since he feels he is now more of the interloper, being the sole unmated Alpha in the group. However, with the ISC about on Mai’Cus, things are constantly changing and will change as Steele is about to find out.
Audiobook-wise, this is another very well narrated book in the series. Both Curt Bonnem and Lessa Lamb did a wonderful job bringing the characters to life, keeping me engaged with the story from start to finish. Audio was clear with no issues.
So…this one totally threw me out of loop for this series. I seriously have a lot of questions now and feel like I have to go back and reread the series again because I feel like I missed something important. Other than those questions, this was another good addition to the series. I just need answers or someone to discuss this series with because I like need to verify things, LOL.

Revived and Rutted – What an incredible adventure! From the beginning to end, Revived and Rutted has been a spellbinding magical thrill ride, an epic story with a breathtaking and emotional romance at its center and a magnificent heroine. Love, loss, heroism, and sacrifice- lays everything on the line. Does it get anymore epic than that? VT BOND sure can weave a tale- the world building, the magic, the twists, the world-is-ending drama that all knit together to highlight the true essence of this story- LOVE. Love of all kinds- a love that empowers self, a love that inspires, a love that can perhaps even save you, that perhaps can save the world. And that is the greatest, most profound adventure of all- finding a love that speaks to the essence of your soul. A love that can somehow make you more human while also making you superhuman. A wonderful romantic fantasy at it’s finest- because LOVE and connection, what make us the most human, the most vulnerable, end up being the most powerful magic of all.

Audiobook Version
Great plot with intense situations, action, violence, explicit sexual scenes and sarcasm. Macy has a interesting situation. Easy to follow and enjoy. Narration is perfectly performed. I would recommend this book.

I am loving this series but this book really made me invest int he series a little more. I the fact that the FMC was a spitfire and and was a fighter to get back to what she was building…a life she was working hard to create. I love that the MMC was protective of her and saw her talent and found a way for her to “scratch” her creative “itch”. The narration is spot on and I am sooo feeling Curt Bonnem and Lessa Lamb.
