We’d heard rumors about the Vandar raiders — everyone in the galaxy had. Terrifying and ruthless, they were a scourge on the Zagrath empire and destroyed everything in their path. Few had actually laid eyes on the Vandar or the notorious warlords who led their fleets of warships — and survived to talk about it. So, when the ruthless aliens boarded our ship intent on destroying it and killing the crew, I did the only thing I could do. I gave myself to the dark and menacing warlord.

Publisher's Summary
New York Times and USA Today best-selling author of science fiction, urban fantasy, and paranormal romance brings another action-, adventure-, and suspense-filled story to transport listeners out of this world.
Ristéard Roald is the powerful and deadly ruler of Elpidios, a planet that is slowly dying without the Blood Stones needed to absorb the radiation gradually destroying its stratosphere. He has sworn to do whatever it takes to protect his world and his people, but time is running out.
Hope comes from an unexpected source, the Kassis. They have found a way to replicate the Blood Stones needed to save his world, but his first dealings with a traitorous Kassisan has left a deep distrust for the species.
Ricki Bailey is used to dealing with diplomats and handling complex situations. After all, as the daughter of the owners of Cirque de Magik, the most spectacular circus to the stars, she is used to organizing their trips to foreign countries. Her life changes when her mother and father decide to take the circus to the real stars, and to another star system!
If she thought learning new laws and customs was going to be a challenge, it was nothing compared to the sudden interest she was getting from a huge blue male known as the Grand Ruler! Ricki discovers words that she didn't even realize were in her vocabulary, most of them not in the least polite.
She decides the best way to deal with the arrogant male is to treat him like she did when encountering difficult Consuls during the circus' travels on Earth; stay cool, calm, and professional, and only deal with the facts necessary to complete whatever business transaction was required.
Ristéard is stunned when a strange, alien female, foretold in the ancient tablets as being the great empress who will save his world, appears. He is even more astonished when she refuses his attentions! With the life of his planet at stake - not to mention his own peace of mind and body - he will do whatever is necessary to ensure the female stays by his side.
Yet, there are forces working against him and Ricki, powerful forces that do not want him to be successful. Dangers and traitors among his own council threaten not only him, but her. It will take all of Ristéard's resources, and a few unexpected allies, to complete the dangerous journey ahead of them.
Can he keep his unwilling empress safe from those that would destroy her? Better yet, can he save his world when there are those that would destroy it for the treasure of precious Blood Stones hidden somewhere beneath its surface?

The Ristéard's Unwilling Empress
Another awesome and entertaining book by S. E. Smith. The narrative is excellent by Samantha Cook, her voice as a woman is extremely sexy and as a man well not bad, i would have like David Brenin to play Ristéard's character but all in all it's fantastic, hot and sexy as hell ;) xox

A good narration which I enjoyed but at 1.25 speed
A good narration which I enjoyed but at 1.25 speed. BOOK REVIEW Another great book by Ms Smith. I have waited ages for his book and it did not disappoint. We met Ricki and Risteard in Star’s Storm book 2. I just loved how composed Ricki is to everything going on around her. Talk about one OCD lady who cannot be ruffled. Risteard has had it tough, taking care of a dying planet and its people must be agonising, add that to him being one tough SOB due to his childhood and you have one hard, cold, deadly ruler. Luckily he learnt what falling in love was all about which will make him a better leader in the long run for his planet. Ricki is just awesome and when she learns about her heritage, wow, super special lady. No wonder she is the Empress. How Ms Smith comes up with all this stuff and keeps all these interconnected books fresh and gripping is amazing. Another brilliant book in this series which gives us even more information and characters. I have reread this series so many times and still love it. Ms Smith’s books are my go to when I need to relax and laugh.
