Ashe is in trouble with a capital T.

As merchandise heading to an intergalactic auction, Ashe’s future looks grim. So when a too-sexy-for-his-own-good alien outlaw solicits her help to break them out of lockup, she jumps on the chance. Ashe only needs to survive long enough with the known criminal to get her end of the bargain: freedom. She trusts the clawed and fanged Tallean warrior to keep her safe, but who will keep her safe from him?

A Tallean mercenary claims what he wants, and he wants her!

As captain of an infamous mercenary vessel, Zeylum carefully crafts his dastardly reputation with crass words and a brutish exterior. But the little human triggers his need to own and protect, and Zey finds himself bonded to the one female he promised to let free.

Will Ashe look past his rough facade and fall for the male beneath? Because now that he’s had a taste of his mate, he will never let her go!

Feisty heroine, growly mercenary, and lots of action ahead. HEA guaranteed!

Loved this story!

A Deal for Zeylum is the first book of the Tallean Mercenaries series and a steamy, action packed adventure that has transitioned to audio with the sensual narration of Troy Duran.
Zeylum, Captain of the pirate vessel Defiant has been captured while on a solo supply run.
Caged along with human female Ashe, she to be sold at an intergalactic auction, they both agree to work together on a plan of escaping the enemy vessel which includes a deal for Zeylum to bring Ashe to a safe haven on Reka 5.
Escape they do but it doesn’t go through with out a few hitches that force them into closer contact with each other that soon turns into much more.
Lots of intrigue, suspense, and danger will follow that keeps the story fast paced and thrilling.
I loved this story and enjoyed the audio version that sweeps the listener into a story that flowed as smooth as silk and harnessed all the emotional impact of a Sci-Fi Romance that didn’t lose any of it’s power in the audio telling.

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Well done!

I Love Lynnea's Tallean Mercenaries series. I grabbed the audio and at first, not gonna lie, was concerned with there being just one narrator. I've been spoiled with dual lately lol. But I was pleasantly surprised at the fact that I didn't miss the dual narrators (male/female). It was very well done. The story is full of action and romance and a HEA. You can't go wrong if you grab this audiobook!

Good start to series - action, heat, romance

This is a good first book in the series. Good pace that keeps the tension until the very end. The two MCs have sparks from the beginning. The male MC is dominant without being controlling. The FMC is strong, confident, and independent. Lots of delicious steam, action and bit of angst. There are two "almost" SA scenes w/the FMC + other characters. One is a bit intense so be aware. Her recovery + emotions afterward are so spot on. The MCs have to get past insecurities that develop from this scene. As expected, they have work through cultural differences before finding their HEA. Also includes the redemption arc for another character. He has a long way to go before he is redeemable for me though. We are introduced to several characters who get their own stories later.

Troy Duran is the perfect narrator for this book. He has a beautiful, smooth deep, growly voice that suits this character and story so well. I imagine that if a bear could talk, it would have this narrator’s voice.

Looking forward to the rest of the series!

Ashe and Zeylum

The first book in the Tallean Mercenaries series a well written story with a great storyline, that I enjoyed reading. Ashe and Zeylum's story has suspense, drama, danger and romance. I want to read or listen to the next book. I enjoyed listening to Troy Duran narrate this story.

Action-packed!

This story brings both the heat and the action! I loved Zeylem and Ashe’s story; with its escapes, kidnapping and rescue spicy times, what’s not to love. This is the first in a series of standalones in a new universe - the rest of the stories are just as good, but there’s always something about your first - wink wink….
