Publisher's summary

An alien warrior, a kidnapped mate, and a traitor waiting to take everything from them both…

Wesley

I’ve always loved space. Give me Star Trek over Lord of the Rings any day. Since I was a kid, all I’ve wanted is to explore the great beyond, to boldly go and all that jazz. And with my feet firmly stuck on Earth, the way I reach for the stars is through developing video games. The biggest issue there? Well, I can’t keep a job beyond one project.

But all that staring at the night sky finally gets me somewhere when a tractor beam drops down from the sky in the Appalachian mountains and drags me up into an incredible spaceship full of big, scary, delicious-looking alien warriors. I’ve always fantasized about seeing the universe, but the reality - a handsy, grinning warrior - is so much more than I bargained for.

Jax

I have a problem - I am the son of Zul the Proeliator, greatest Thorzi warrior, and I have had no chance to honor my legacy on the battlefield. When our people were dying out, they took human mates and produced a generation of hybrid children. But the hybrid sons of the planet Thorzan are protected, privileged, and wasted. All my life, I have been companion and protector to Prince Kaelum instead of a proper warrior.

And now my people's enemies have come to believe that a younger generation of spoiled hybrids makes Thorzan ripe for invasion. When they attack our home, I must choose between duty and protecting the beautiful man whose bright mind has caught my heart.

By popular cowriting duo Sam Burns and W.M. Fawkes, Declared is an M/M sci-fi alien romance with a hybrid warrior trying to prove his worth, a lost human looking for stable ground, and battles that will prove that sometimes, the only thing a warrior can do when tested is survive. This book is second in the Star Marked Warriors series, but each book can be listened to as a stand-alone.

Michael Fell was great

I didn’t like this one as much as the first one. I like Wesley and Jax but their story was a bit boring. I like how they discovered Wesley was what Jax needed to be full warrior. I felt sorry for the other race, the smarter version of Thorzi. I still look forward to the next story.

Excellent Series so far!

I loved this series. No prejudice on other people's life choices. I have always believed myself as open-mindedness and with this in mind I love this series. I can hardly wait for the rest of series to be put on Audible.

Great series continuation

Now that I’ve listened to this twice (okay, 3 times), I definitely feel more positive about this second book. There was some heaviness in books one (kidnapped and owned) and three (abuse) and I really feel that book two is probably the more positive out of the three in the series. Both Jax and Wesley have a pretty good general outlook on life and despite being stranded on a desert planet, are pretty upbeat about their circumstances for the most part. And where the storyline went once they landed on that planet was totally unexpected and fit in with everything in a completely understandable way. So, five stars for storyline and suspense!

so much fun

this got me thru alot of gardening and weed pulling. I can't wait to do more so I have an excuse to listen to next!
