Good But With Some Issues

This book left me with conflicting emotions. In the end I thought there was some, good, some bad and sadly quite a bit of wasted potential. As for the good: I liked the hero. Dorn was a warrior, alpha male that was focused on his duties to his family, species and world. He was hot and seemed like a decent guy. The heat level: Trust me when I say things get sizzling and steamy. The World: I found the setting intriguing. And Lastly: The Battle Of Wills. It was fun to see these two clash together. Now the bad: The heroine. Considering her situation you are inclined to feel for Mandy and I kind of did, or at least as much as I could because she was just so very unlikable. Privileged, spoilt and a straight-up brat, this character was very hard to take. Emotion: I felt that there was a lack of a real connection between the couple. Desire, yes. Attraction, yes. Love, not so much. So, in the end, I liked this book but felt some of its potential was squandered. I will certainly give other books in this series a chance because my most troubling issue was the heroine. The book is performed by a single narrator and I felt that they did a good job in bringing the story to life.

Erotica/Lady Porn with minimal SciFi

This is straight up Erotica with a bare bones storyline. I was more interested in the SciFi ARC than with the explicit sex scenes.  Lol, I'm a prude and see no reason why they couldn't be married 1st. Anyway, Mandy & Dorn have interesting character traits and I wish the two were fleshed out more. Haha, they were definitely in the flesh zone.  World building was great, although, visualizing the bomber wasn't so clear. The ending wasn't as satisfying as I would have liked. But, it certainly does lend itself towards reading the next book...for me it would mostly be for the storyline. I'm personally not into all of the pornographic scenes. Sooo, a tall star because of her story telling skills. :-)  My star ratings include these 5 elements: 1★ story line 1★ engaging characters 1★ use of world building/descriptions 1★ the ending 1★ narration or editing "I was given this free review copy/audiobook at *MY* request and have voluntarily left this review."

Sizzling Alien Warrior Romance

It was my first audio book from this author . The story line and narration was very good. There is action, some suspense and sizzling romance. I am on to the next book. There is plenty of steam, action, drama, tension and emotion to keep you entertained and invested. All and all a very fun and very hot read. I thought the narrators did an great job in bringing this book to life. I definitely recommend this audio book. *I received this audio book in exchange for an honest review.*

Tamed

Enjoyed the story, but the narrator left some room for improvement. She sounded a little to whiny for my liking. But I would read the next book in the series, as I did get a chuckle from this one

Both characters are immature and hard to like. The dialogue between the 2 is awful, the relationship building is awkward and lacking. I HATE the voice the narrator gives to all the women and her reading gets more stuffy/nasally as the book goes on. Returning this one, could not stand to finish it.

the storyline was very entertaining. it was

certainly not boring. Sadly that the storyteller of the womens lines was not on top. sadly, she made the caractare a stereotype of a rich mindless woman. What she absolute not is. Luckely that the story is so well made that you forgive the negative sound of the womensvoice. It is a great story where the side caracters also are enjoyable and give you an smile on your face. Loved the book.

Steamy, fun read.

I asked to receive this free review Audible book and wrote this unbiased . Tana Stone and is off to a great start with this new series. This story is filled with action, alien battles, finding yourself in an alien world, adapting to a new society, creating problems for aliens, assessing what you want out of life, and some explosive sex scenes. Dorn is a fierce alien warrior that is loyal to his family and people. Mandy is a spoiled rich girl that is disowned by her family and then given to aliens. It is funny and sad to see her develop info a woman that really takes a look at herself and shows so much improvement. However she does still challenge Dorn. There will be several funny moments in this story. The narrator does an excellent job of portraying the emotions and personalities of these characters. She gives them distinctive voices and brings them to life. I enjoyed listening to her. I highly recommend this Audible book.

OMG!

OMG! This is my first time reading or listening to a book from Tana Stone. Tamed is the first book in the Tribute Brides of the Dexian Warriors. Dorn is a Drexian commander who never wanted to take a bride. He’s annoyed when his brother forces him to take a bride. Mandy is a socialite with a rich father. Mandy was not falling for their holographic fantasy suites, their promise of a dream wedding, or their gorgeous, brawny warriors. I love the chemistry between Mandy and Dorn. OMG, I even loved the name The Love Boat. This is one series that you would want to READ! I can't wait to read more from this author. Keep up the amazing work! I find that Jodie Bentley did an amazing job with the voices in this one. I'm ready to listen to more from this narrator.

The Story was good but......

I love a good Alien romance but the Female MC was super annoying for about 2/3 of this book. She does become somewhat likable in the end and in the subsequent books. The story was good and I liked that they teased the next story at the end of each book. The narrator was great as she was telling the story but when she did individual voices it was a little iffy. Overall, the book was good and definitely good to read for context into the next books.
