Publisher's summary

They call him the Mad Horde King for a reason. Now, she’s his....

Over a year ago, I was ripped away from my human village to serve the Ghertun, a brutal enemy alien race. With the lives of my family at risk, I am tasked to deliver a message to the one place no human has ever gone before: the capital city of Dakkar.

Before I succeed, however, I am captured by a horde king. A horde king of the Dakkari, a merciless barbaric race bred for war and violence that rule over the hostile and unforgiving planet of Dakkar.

And this horde king? He’s the most ruthless and insane of them all - with his scarred face, glowing red eyes, and his wicked, dark grin that hides an even darker past.

I am no one. I am quiet, meek, and fearful...and yet, this fearsome king wants me in his furs. I tremble when he touches me, but he awakens my desire, something I fear I’ll crave...all while I struggle to save my family.

Now, the mad horde king has me in his possession.

I fear he never intends to let me go.

My Favorite

Outstanding plot and characters. Exceptional narration and wow for hot. I like my books to be steamy and this one delivered. Worry not, the plot has so much going on that it never felt like the plot got lost. Thanks to Zoey and our narrators for such an awesome experience.

Liked it

This was a pretty good audiobook; great storyline. I found this book very entertaining; seemed like something one would see on the big screen. Narrators did a fantastic job; Aaron has the most sexy bedroom, talk dirty to me voice. His voice and the pictured gentleman on the cover match up perfectly.

Mad for the Mad Horde King

The third in the series of Horde King books (I pray not the last), I eagerly awaited the audio version of this book. I'm absolutely enamored with the series, and can imagine at least four or five more based on this very clever world that is so richly developed in this and the previous two books. The narration on this (dual narration, thank you!) was absolutely perfect. This story has a supernatural aspect to it that the others do not, but it doesn't detract from the more prevalent and compelling love story between two individuals broken by familial loss. So worthwhile, but you MUST read the previous two books first.

The world expands and the series plot thickens!

I enjoyed this installment of the horde king series better than the second and possibly as much or more than the first. The “mad” horde king was actually tormented by visions of dead people but most especially was haunted by his dead twin sister who was brutally murdered and betrayed. In his grief and rage, he is then taken advantage of and tormented by a woman who trains and manipulates his rage. It is this not surprising that he feels protective of the little human who steals into the capital city and begs for his mercy. He allows her to escape but she doesn’t want to escape. She has a mission to free her family from the lizard people. She eventually speaks with the king about the lizard king’s conditions of truce(?) which the king ignores but the warriors see it as an opportunity to infiltrate their lizard enemies. The mad king takes Vienne into his custody to “help” and they fall in love. That’s basically the story. But the story telling is really lovely and the way they care for each other is so sweet and gentle. They have their secrets that eventually get out but I didn’t get the sense of betrayal of each other that I felt in the second book. I really felt these two fought for each other and rescued each other. That was the beauty of this book. Well done! I hope there will be more!

Great book! One of the best so far!

Loved it. I thought 1st book was best but this one is best overall so far! Narrators are awesome in this one!

Lady Like

It hard to pick which book out of this series I like most, however I did like the bit of the mystical in this book. The mad king has a dark sad story as well as his lady love.

A Horde King and Human with Powers Join, Book 3

This book places two together, a Horde King considered mad and heated temper, and a human slave for another species connect. The h has power to know the feelings of others and change them, if needed.
The mystical portions of this story brought mystery and a binding between the two.
I enjoyed revisiting the characters from previous two books. Also the mystery of why the animals are acting strangely and moving....what is happening.
Waiting to listen to the next book.Love the narrators!

Epic! A slow burn but very good

A very well written story that focuses on more than the sexual attraction and details.

I certainly hope this story gets expanded and explores Vienne’s sister and the Horde King’s right hand man....as well as the new beginnings for the freed slaves of the Ghertun. There’s lots of room and direction for this book alone. A great blend of sci-fi, romance, fantasy, action and adventure! More....more...more please! 😀

One of the best books I’ve listened to

I enjoyed this book beyond words! Yes, it’s a romance, yes, hot alien and sweet little human... but the depth of their pasts and how they found each other and opened up to each other was awesome! Such an amazing listen!!!

Good

Very slow at times, but not bad if a story. The narrative was excellent! Recommend and be patient at times was slow!
