Publisher's summary

Carmen Walker has spent the last three years of her life focusing on avenging the murder of her husband. Following leads to the man responsible, she finally has a chance to bring closure to the overwhelming pain and grief that is slowly eating away at her. Catching a ride on a business jet copiloted by her sister, Carmen heads to California to meet with her informant. But plans suddenly change when a woman on the plane is kidnapped, and Carmen is mortally wounded. She wakes to find herself aboard an alien warship heading to a distant world.

Creon Reykill's skills as a warrior are legendary among the Valdier, but he has given up hope of ever finding his true mate, believing his soul is too dark ever to be gifted with one. That all changes when a small, delicate female unlike anything he has ever seen before is brought to his world. The moment he sees her, he knows she belongs to him. His dragon will do anything to claim her, his symbiot will do anything to protect her, and Creon will do anything to chase the shadows from her eyes. He knows he has found the light to his darkness, but now he must corner Carmen long enough for her to realize that he is the only one in the universe who can heal her shattered heart. Can he convince her to give love a second chance before she risks everything - including her life - for revenge?

I think this one is my favorite.

I have loved all of them but I think this might be my favorite. Although I think that at the end of each one. 😊

Out of order

I have been enjoying this searies but it's a little frustrating listening to the books in order. The story jumps back and forward quite a bit between books making it hard to determine when the current story took place according to everything else that happened previously. Lastly because the book jumps you know what will be going on in the future while you are listening to it the past happen again in someone else's perspective.

enjoyed Carmen's story

I agree that this story was a recap of the first four books. I didn't start to get into it until halfway through.

BEAM ABOARD FOR ROMANCE,TEARS & SEX.. ALIEN STYLE

Carmen's story is the last of the original women to get beamed aboard the Valdier Spaceship when his brothers came to Earth to rescue Zoran (book 1) and parts of it is told in the same timeframe as the previous books but this is Carmen and Creon's story. Carmen had brutally lost the love of her life, her husband of four years, and the only thing that was keeping her sane and alive was revenge for his death. However, as Earth slowly disappeared she became lost as any hope for revenge was getting further and further away.... she'd tried escaping, begging and fighting but now she knew it was all in vain and so she had nothing left to live for.

But Carmen was wrong because the handsome Valdierian Warrior/Prince Creon was watching her..... watching while his Symbiot claimed her, his inner Dragon shouted "mine mine mine" and he was speechless that, at last, he had found his mate. However, he was going to have to tread really carefully though because he could see and feel the grief, loss and pain this broken Earth woman felt but he knew he would do anything for the ultimate prize..... Carmen.

It was another rocky, funny, hot and angst filled listen as some Earth women show these fierce Warriors that they too can be just as fierce but resourceful clever and sneaky on top and that they're all kinds of feisty when mad, soft caring and playful when in the mood and very supportive and sexy after they fall in love. And so Creon is totally clueless about how Carmen is going to change his whole way of thinking, his life and how his world will become a brighter happier place. There is still drama caused by the Uncle, a full cast of entertaining secondary characters, two abandoned Humans they rescue but there's a few twists there, revenge to be had and a dual POV romance that was sweet, tender, funny, hot and passion filled as Carmen found joy and love for the second time.

Worth a credit? Although all these books have had the same theme their stories have been different and now that all 5 of the Earth women who were initially taken have been claimed it leaves lots of Warriors all now seeking these fascinating Earth women to claim for themselves. This was a very enjoyable and well narrated Sci-FI love story with lots of humor, romance, sex and hot Alpha Warriors and it was absolutely worth a credit.
