Publisher's summary

Audra Copeland is among dozens of newly convicted felons dropped off on the prison planet Rhodon, where she discovers that the women of zone four have a long-standing arrangement with the men. If they hand over six of the new arrivals, the men won't raid. And Audra has just been drafted.

She can take her chances on her own, or select a guardian. The deal is simple, if barbaric: sex, in exchange for food and safety from the other 200 men in zone four. It's a terrifying proposal. The men are violent, filthy degenerates.

Then Audra sees Tyson at the edge of the crowd. A hulking, scarred figure, the other men call him a savage, but his clothes are clean, and he's holding a freshly caught rabbit. He can clearly protect what's his.

As compassionate as he is powerful, Tyson ignites something fierce in Audra, and their connection is white-hot. The problem? Every 30 days, she'll have to pick a new guardian.

Now that he's found Audra, Ty has every intention of keeping her for himself. Even if he has to destroy the fragile zone four peace treaty to do it.

Contains mature themes.

Fantastic series! 🔥

I have no idea why this series doesn’t have more reviews! The only thing I can think is that it hasn’t gotten enough exposure. I haven’t found another series quit like it but it’s full of action and each book so far has had a great plot. The lead females are all strong and willing to do what it takes to survive while the lead males are the best combo of hot alpha protectors and lovers! Miss Chandler has also manage to find a way to give us all the connection to her characters that a good slow burn does without making us wait for the hot and heavy bedroom action… And the steamy parts continue to get hotter and hotter as the story goes on (something I feel like a lot of authors struggle with) and they never feel redundant or get boring! 🔥🔥🔥 Another thing I consider a huge bonus is each ending gives you the best balance of a happy ending while still leaving you with enough of a cliff hanger (what happened to our favorite supporting characters?) to leave you completely satisfied while still craving so much more! I hope to see more audible listens from this author in the future!!!

I couldn’t get enough

Both narrators are perfect Aiden Snow has a voice like hot red velvet. Absolutely riveting story, simple and complex, brilliant.

Worth reading!

I was intrigued by the description and the book was even better. Strong characters in the worst scenarios possible. Loved the narrators! They did a good job. Pop Looking forward to the next book in series.

Perilous Prison Planet!

The heroine: Audra - She grew up on a farming planet but now finds herself on a prison transport headed for the planet Rhodon, otherwise known as the Devils Eye due to its red oceans and trees. The prison transport takes a week and they are kept in deplorable conditions. However, she finds that things are much worse when they arrive on the planet.

The Hero: Tyson - He is a 6’7” muscular man with a scar on his clean shaven face. He is unlike most of the men in zone four. He is large enough to fight and win against most of the men. Though he has never been chosen by a woman before. Of course he isn’t one of the guys that runs up to the front of the pack to be chosen by the women.

The Story: There is a peace treaty between two settlements in zone four of the prison planet. In order for the cruel and dangerous men from Settlement A to leave the women on settlement B alone, they require a few women from each new batch of prisoners. The women chosen, have to stay with the men until a new batch of women come to be exchanged for them. Audra and the Maci, the girl she befriended ended up in the group sent to Settlement A. They have to choose a guardian, a man to be with for a month, at the end of the month they must choose again. The women have to choose a man that is big and strong enough to protect them, because any man can fight the ‘guardian’ and the winner takes the female.

This prison planet is about what you would expect. Though if the men are so blood thirsty, I don’t get why they made a peace treaty with the women and only get a few women from each new batch. You would think the men would just be in charge. But this is fiction, so it is what it is.

Settlement A is a place that is more lord of the flies than anything, though they do have some sort of leader, and the truce with the women. If they were smart, they would make a society and laws and their own prison for offenders, then it would be a big huge FU to the people that put them there. Like what they say about the best revenge being to live well. However, they are criminals, so they live like a society of criminals.

The story is told in dual points of view via dual narration and narrated by Aiden Snow and Jillian Macie. I love Aiden Snow’s voice, he is one of my all time favorite male narrators, with a quiet but deep voice. Jillian Macie is good, but sounds a bit older than Audra. The one thing I didn’t like about the story was Audra’s insistence on the fact that she has to pay for everything Ty provides, with her body and she can’t even see how he doesn’t feel that way. That what he wants is for her to come to him willingly.

Fast paced sci-fi romance!

I enjoyed this audiobook very much. The setting is a prison planet where the heroine is being sent. Upon arrival she finds out she will be auctioned off to a man who will basically own her for 4 weeks, then she’d be given to another man. The male criminals are rough and abusive and she chooses a quiet man on the outskirts of the group to belong to first. He’s a loner but together they find common ground and start to develop a relationship. But when the 4 weeks are almost up they have to decide what to do- either let her go to another or try to escape. Narration was well done.

Draws you in!

Absolutely loved this! I have already started the second in the series and I would highly recommend it!

Great Series!

I found this series on kindle and loved them. I was so happy to find them on audible as well. The narrators did an amazing job at bringing the story to life and now I am on my way to download Macy's story!

really loved this book!

story was great, narration was great. thinking about listening to it again just after finishing!

Not bad

I liked the idea of a prison planet- however it got to a point where it was mostly about the sex and less about the plot.
But I would recommend and would probably read another from the series.

Good unique story line

I have read books with prison planet theme before but this one is different. This book kept me guessing as to where it was going and what would happen next. I’m definitely going to listen to the next book. This book was one of those books that I couldn’t quite thinking about when I had to take a break for real life. I finished it in about 3 days and found my mind thinking about it every morning I woke up wondering what was going to happen.
This was my first book with this author and I think I will check out what else she has to offer.
