About this ebook
Like thousands of humans, Lianne works for the Rrassic on a world she didn’t know existed. A friend stuck her neck out during registration and hid Lianne’s compatibility with the Rrassic under the guise of an existing allergy to cats.
An accident at a public event made Lianne run into the action, and a few small cuts left enough of her at the scene to give the hunters a trail to follow.
Sorrok selected Lianne as a possible mate back on Earth, but he wasn’t the one to collect her during the final extraction, so he was sure that someone else would have found their way into her bed.
His delight meets feral possessiveness, and while he changes her life, he makes sure that there is a place for him in it.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I'll accept that Viola Grace's books are a little kooky. There's usually not alot of plot and they always seem to go a certain way but I didn't like this at all. I couldn't get past the fact that Lianne and the others were kidnapped and there against their will. They all just seem ok with it? Because they can work and have money and gyms and cafes?
If you have a pet bird and train it and feed it and take it to the vet, buy it toys to play with and love it - it'll likely still fly out the window if it gets a opportunity. A gilded cage is still a cage and I HATED that Lianne just seemed to forget that.
I also detested the ending. She's perfectly ok getting knocked up and when it's confirmed she's carrying triplets and is told they're going to remove the embryos - the book just ends. Literally just ends. WTF???? - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The start of a new series and a new world. Can't wait to read more about this world. More books

Untrained Fascination - Viola Grace
Hiding her compatibility with her alien abductors comes to a halt after acting to save lives and leaves Lianne as a registered Breeder to the Rrassic.
Like thousands of humans, Lianne works for the Rrassic on a world she didn’t know existed. A friend stuck her neck out during registration and hid Lianne’s compatibility with the Rrassic under the guise of an existing allergy to cats.
An accident at a public event made Lianne run into the action, and a few small cuts left enough of her at the scene to give the Hunters a trail to follow.
Sorrok selected Lianne as a possible mate back on Earth, but he wasn’t the one to collect her during the final extraction, so he was sure that someone else would have found their way into her bed.
His delight meets feral possessiveness, and while he changes her life, he makes sure that there is a place for him in it.

Brace for Humanity Book 1
By
Viola Grace
Prologue
The attack didn’t come from space, didn’t stream down from the skies, didn’t even blow anything up.
That was the problem.
Across Earth, thousands of shadowed gateways opened up and forty thousand humans disappeared. A moment later, it was over.
Waking on a new world with alien captors, the taken humans were informed that they were the hostages for their people’s wellbeing. The Rrassic were in need of workers to support one of their colonies, and they needed humans to man the city and run the transport hub. They were counted, categorized and organized.
The empty city was filled with humans and the Rrassic who oversaw their labours. Languages were melded, and every human had images in their quarters of those whose lives were on the line for lack of good behaviour and dedicated work.
Additional options had not been offered. Humanity would cooperate or disappear.
Chapter One
Lianne Whelling, forklift driver with a commercial license.
The cataloguer looked up from her files and smiled.
Correct, Bella.
Lianne looked at her high school friend and waited to be catalogued and given her ident band so she could work for the invaders. The air felt different on this new world, and she was relieved to see a familiar face, even if Bella was working for the aliens.
Cataloger Thems, please. I have to keep this professional.
Of course. Yes, I am a driver.
She waited.
Are you aware that your DNA may be a match for the Rrassic?
Lianne’s palms sweated slightly. How unfortunate. I am not interested.
Lianne watched Bella’s hands move over her keyboard.
Bella smiled coolly. I understand. It is not a situation that many human women would rush toward, though several that I have processed were content to become Breeders.
How many of your own have you sentenced to be Breeders?
Lianne couldn’t stop the growl in her voice.
I did not sentence them, their DNA did. All I did was interview them for psychological compatibility with the position.
Bella smiled tightly, flicking her eye toward the cameras stationed around the room.
Suddenly, Lianne wasn’t sure that her old friend had turned on her people. It seemed that being pressured into work wasn’t something that was exclusive to the mass populace.
Bella had gone to work for the mayor three years before the abduction. She had always been good at reading people, and working in human resources had been a perfect match for her temperament.
It seemed that her alien overlords agreed.
Lianne sat and waited while Bella performed a second scan.
Lianne had to sit still while Bella frowned.
Weird.
What is weird?
You might be compatible, but you have a feline allergy. How strange. You are definitely not suitable for the position as Breeder. I guess you are stuck driving for a living.
Bella’s expression was bland as a small machine burped out an ident band.
Lianne could barely keep a straight face. She was about as allergic to cats as she was to hamburgers. It was an excellent out, as most of the Rrassic had feline characteristics. It would firmly keep her out from under one of the horny fuzzballs.
She extended her left arm, and the band was snapped around her wrist.
You can report to the Alder Docks tomorrow and begin your work. Have a busy career, Lianne Whelling.
Thank you. I believe I shall.
Lianne got to her feet and left the offices where dozens of other men and women were going through the same process of being categorized and assigned to duties that would expedite the processing of grains, meats and materials to other worlds.
Lianne was now a cog in the machine that the Rrassic had created. It was a situation that none could escape from. The Rrassic just hunted down dissenters and sent them to colony worlds where survival triumphed over rebellion.
Everyone had wanted to think that the humans would eventually be able to defeat their kidnappers, but there was no way to fight superior training and bodies that were weapons even when they didn’t carry armament.
She had seen the claws of the Rrassic in action, and she didn’t want to see them up close and personal.
Lianne used both hands to steer the lifter into position, and with the lightest touch, she eased the pallet onto the forks. A slight bit of pressure slid the forks home, and she tilted the forks up five degrees before backing the lifter up and lowering the unit and its cargo to the floor.
Working eighty feet in the air had taken some getting used to, but after five months of being in the warehouse, she enjoyed the challenge to her skills.
Her manager stepped toward her, his scaled body dressed in the standard Rrassic black. Thanks, Lianne. Call it a day. I will see you after your rest day.
She got one day off every five and could spend it as she liked. If she got drunk, there were med treatments to flush away her hangover before she worked again.
Thank you, Mrtok. I will see you in two days.
He grinned, showing frightening teeth. Yes, you will.
She headed for the lockers, showered and changed her clothing. She clocked out and walked toward the centre of town.
There were some perks to working for the invaders. She got paid every day. She didn’t have to carry a wallet; she could go from work to any of the recreation spots and simply enjoy herself.
Crime was no longer an issue. Anyone violent was removed permanently, and humans were allowed to police their own if they could manage it. If not, the Rrassic were willing to step in. It had created a strange community vibe that many, including Lianne, were still getting used to.
Lianne counted five of the nine species of Rrassic out in the market area that day. She chose one of
