Publisher's summary

Ten years ago, he had been so much younger, not just in years, but deep within his soul. He had been so much in love with his wife, Saliah. They had been expecting their first youngling - a male and his heir. But then, everything had gone so very wrong, and he had lost them both. It broke him so badly, that he forced his heart to grow cold and swore an oath never to love another female, never to father another youngling.

When given the opportunity to go to war, he jumped at it, taking his raging anger out on his enemies. Now, the war was won and over. It was time for the most feared warlord in the galaxy to go home. Every female on Ceres would pursue him now due to his wealth and rank, but he wanted nothing to do with any of them. Instead, he came up with a plan to keep them all at bay. He would purchase a female pleasure slave to pose as his consort. He would use her body without endangering his heart. He had given all his requirements to the flesh dealer and had been assured the female presented was just what he wanted - young, physically compatible, sexually experienced, with a low intelligence level, a submissive personality, and most importantly, sterile.

Unfortunately for the warlord, it would be too late by the time he realized that she only fulfilled two of his six requirements. Or, maybe, it wasn't unfortunate; perhaps, she would be the one to heal his tortured soul.

Please note: Property of the Warlord is a dark romance. It contains bondage, spanking, dark themes, and power exchange. If any of these offend you, please do not purchase this audiobook.

Fabulous book by a new to me author and narrator!

This was my first book by Bridget Brislin and narration by J.T. Farrell and I was not disappointed! I have read and listened to a number of Sci-Fi Romances and this has been on of my favorites. The characters, especially Zonn, have a depth to them more so than some of the other books I've read. Zonn is haunted by the death of his mate in childbirth, he not only lost his beloved wife that day, but his son. He goes off to war for ten long years before returning to his home planet, but he knows that the females of his planet will be ruthless in their perusal of him. He needs to find a female to meet his needs, without growing attached to, so he purchases Mia from a slave trader. He finds out just how wrong he is when he finds himself developing feelings for the small human female and her journey.
I enjoyed the journey of Zonn as he battled through the memory of his late wife and coming to terms with his feelings for Mia. Their love is beautiful and J.T. brings the story to life with his brilliant narration. This will not be my last by these two, I am looking forward to many more from these two!

Great Romance: If Written 20 Years Ago

So back in the day there where a lot of romances where the white lady was captured by some dark Indian warrior or some dark something. Anything so long as its big dark and male. The whole King Kong concept of the little cute white girl taken by a huge dark beast is a big turn off for me. Mia and her pale skin, eyes, and hair being really played up as so pure, delicate, and better than the other women of his own breed was obnoxious. I tend not to like stories where darker tones are looked down upon or as beastly.

If that concept didn't feel dated enough the language and dialogue certainly did. This may have been the delivery of the narrator, but her Warlord seemed so old. I was getting the whole "good touch vs. bad touch" vibes. Too creepy. And him spanking her and telling her to behave was just....*barf*


I'm not really sure about continuing this series. Especially if I have to hear one more time about how beautiful her being pale and pink is. There are some great aspects in this story too...like the whole piercing he gave her...nice touch. But the main elements of this story needs an update.

A Gripping Dark Romance that Delivers.

A Warlord without anymore wars to feast his lust of murder and mayhem. He left his home planet of Ceres 10 years ago, driven away but the Loss of his beloved and their unborn child. He left with a cold dead heart and two promises to himself. 1) He will never love again 2) He will never have any youngling . But now, there are no more wars and he returns home.He knows that the females , on Ceres , will seek to gain access to his riches ,his Rank and Status. The Warlord plans to solve his problem by engaging a Pleasure Slave to impersonate his Consort before going home . This fake consort must be sexually experienced , low IQ , submissive, sexually compatible , and Sterile. However Flesh Dealing isn’t very trustworthy these Days . The Warlord received Mia . But you see Mia only has two traits that the Warlord demanded . Mia just may revive his dead heart and heal his fractured soul.
PLEASE NOTE : submission and Domination power dynamics with spanking and bondage elements. J.T Farrell delivers the listener into this awesome story by Bridget Brislin . I absolutely Loved this Amazing Listen from start til finish. Definitely found an awesome new author and vocal actor. 🌸

Property of the Warlord

From slave to love. I will give you a warning that this book contain some triggers but for those of you who have no problems with that, then this book will be a fun listen for you. I enjoyed this book and am happy to know that I now have a new author as well as narrator to enjoy.

Boring

At first the story was enjoyable and while not entirely unique did feel interesting. Then the story is kind of thrown out the window for a while. Everything gets bogged down in this superficial bonding relationship that is going on, no other characters are introduced that matter and it just becomes very repetitive. Its like we are expected to gloss over the whole, "Hey, I'm a slave." bit and just get on to the "He's good deep down" part. Also, the guy is an idiot not realizing that the slaver constantly was lieing so everything he said was up for question.

The audio performance just doesn't hold up. Not a bad performer, just doesn't fit the setting. Also, a dou narration would of been but with all the POV swapping.

ok

It started off well but the latter half was rather hurried could have been way better. The narrator didn't do it much justice in my estimation. All in all it was a ok listen nothing to rave about.

A lighter shade of dark

I really enjoyed this book. For me it definitely wasn’t very dark and has a happily ever after. I loved the characters and world building in this book. I loved that we got some great povs from both of the main characters. This also had a great narration to go along with the story.

Great Alien story

I hesitated to purchase this because I have never read or listened to any of Bridget's books, but I am really glad I did. It was a great story with lots of twists and turns. The sex was well done and appropriate to the story. The H and h were both strong and although there were some misunderstandings, none of them were drawn out for the whole story. Well except for a couple, but the author didn't dwell on them. They were just left as unresolved threads till near the end. To some extent, it was these threads that kept me interested. I really liked this approach.
Well done to both the author and the narrator who also did a great job. I am about to purchase the next in the series.

wow!!! what is sexy romantic sci-fi adventure

this was an amazing romantic and erotic space adventure worthy of every minute of your time. I look forward to reading the rest of the series and following the adventures of these characters. the writer knows how to get you emotionally connected to these characters and make you feel through their pain and their pleasures.

A dark romance that is actually kind of sweet

This is a dark romance that turns pretty sweet. Mia is an abducted human. She was strangled and lost her voice. I kind of liked that she couldn’t speak. It was different and it made the story interesting. The warlord was rough and was completely honest about what he wanted from Mia. He was kind of even sweet about it. She was technically a slave but a well kept one.

It was honestly a cute story about two lonely and lost people coming together.

The narrator was really good!! I love a good male narrator and this guy was good. I will be looking out for his name from now on.
