Avren

An Auxem Novel

De: Lisa Lace

Narrado por: Piper Fairweather, Trenton Todd

I can summon any woman with a look. They want me, but there's only one I crave.

Vanessa.

I shouldn't have let her slip away.

She answers the door wearing next to nothing. I can't tear my eyes away from her.

A short silk kimono skims her thighs. The delicate robe falls open. She's teasing me.

Lace panties and a push-up bra lifts her breasts like an offering.

I haven't seen her in years. I've never seen her like this. I never knew that under her clothes she had the body of a goddess.

She never expected to see me again.

I set her free before, but I'm not waiting anymore. I've returned to claim the woman who has always belonged to me.

I'll take back what was mine.

Avren is a standalone, full-length science-fiction romance. There are no cliffhangers, and a happy ending is guaranteed!

Great Series Ending Story

Scientists fall in love in a SciFi Romance. Sounds kind of corny but it worked really well in this action-packed series ender. It wrapped up the series nicely while still maintaining the main characters' goals as well as the sought after HEA.

the tension!

avren asks his ex- girlfriend to help solve the pain of deploying wings the Auxem suffer from. these two working together is enough sexual tension to light anyone's fire! but someone is trying to shut down their research and is willing to kill. there is danger, suspense, adult content and cursing.

OMGosh!!!! I can't express how much I loved this!!

This entire series!! Gorgeous hunk of man with brains, brawn and an undying love and faithfulness...Avren!! Set on his course of a cure for the agony of extracting their wings Avren enlists the help of the only person who can help him...Vanessa...his one true love. Vanessa is a genetic scientist who won't allow anyone or anything to get in the way of her career, even the love of her life...Avren.  Agreeing to work together to save the Auxem the unbearable pain they experience when extracting their wings, the two face attempts on Vanessa's life, the betrayal of Avren's closest family friend and their feelings for each other.  Hot, sizzling almost sex scenes keep you fanning yourself and wishing these two would hurry up and realize that they were meant for each other. Everyone knows that the Auxem Bond is forever...!  Loved this audiobook and the final chapters including the whole family a few years later is a wonderful way to end this book. I hope there are more, future books about the Auxem royals and their entire race. Amazing world building and characters that you can't help but to love make this a FANTASTIC listening experience. I can't wait to see where you take me to next.

Avren and Vanessa

I have listened to every book in this series and loved them all but if you haven't read or listened to the books in this series there is no need to worry that the storyline might be a bit confusing. The background is filled in quite nicely and the background together with this current storyline make this a very enjoyable book.

Avren is the last of the five princes of Auxem to get his own story, he's sexy, brilliant and desirable. Some time ago he met and fell in love with Vanessa Dwyer a brilliant geneticist. They had their scientific interest in genetics in common as well as a very strong sexual attraction. Avren and Vanessa never actually made love because if they did they would become bonded until death but he did let her in on a secret relating to his race. Although they loved each he never asked her to become his because he felt she wanted a career more than she wanted to be with him. The result, they both ended up nursing broken hearts but have never forgotten each other. Now they have a second chance but will they take it?

Avren has now returned to ask Vanessa to help him find a way to alter the genetics of his race but will she agree? If she does do they have a chance to be together? So much has changed since they were last together. Will their research be welcomed by his whole race?

The plot is very involved the fact that the men from Auxem can't use their wings without a tremendous amount of pain and Avren wants to find a cure I thought was a good twist. It's a bit like we have arms but we can't use them without pain! You would expect this to be welcomed wholeheartedly wouldn't you?

All these questions are answered in this book but I can't say anymore without giving too much of the plot away. What I can say is that the writing style, chemistry and storyline are all fantastic as is the narration.

This review is written voluntarily and is my own personal opinion.

a funny and emotional one

I found Avren pretty funny, he was one of the more serious auxem in some things, but you could grasp the caring and loving person he was inside.

Vannessa was a sassy one a little too afraid but who isn't after a lot of bad experiences in life.

I liked the plot it was pretty interesting and a little suspensful at some point I was like OMG so cool all this and I loved that this one as the others auxem novels, have little cameos of other terramates novels that was fantastic.

for the narrators I loved the girl, the male voice was I dont know but it didnt make the cut for this one I think.

All Round Great Story and Narration.

I haven't read this series from the beginning, but I was never lost in the story because I didn't know what was going on. When the book says it's a stand-alone, it really means it.

Vanessa and Avren had a special chemistry that is so easy to see in yourself. The idea of a first love coming back into your life is one that is timeless. The idea that is coming together to fix a problem that both of them are specially equipped to handle is a great concept to the story. Avren feels a need to help his family which is a concept as old as time. There is always some kind of trouble in her books, however; this book the problem is subtle. The ability to enjoy the time Vanessa and Avren have relearning about each other isn't overshadowed by the violence or whatever trouble is in the story.

The narration in this book was great. They used two voices one for Avren and one female for Vanessa. They made the story more interesting to listen to. My only negative with the whole book is the connection between Audible and Amazon isn't there. I am an immersion reader and love when I can follow along in the book. This book was not connected to its Amazon title. That made reading a little more difficult. You have to search for the place you were because the books aren't connected and its spot isn't saved in both.

This is a book that will make me read the previous books and any new ones that Lisa Lace writes in the future.

Mystery, intrigue and super hot almost sex!

Any additional comments?

Throughout the Auxem Series I have had many questions and this latest installation finally answers them. Lisa went a different direction with Avren and Vanessa’s story. Of course there was sexy characters, adventure, excitement and steamy sex-not-sex (if you’ve read about the Auxem Men then you know what I mean, wow! Who could have thought that almost sex could be so HOT!) but she added a bit of mystery and intrigue that kept me guessing why. I loved how all my questions were answered, getting caught up on all my favorite characters from the series, knowing where it all led but I really loved Avren and Vanessa and all they had to overcome to get to their HEA.

Avren

This Auxem novel has a good deal of interaction with the couples from the previous books, which was nice. Avren is a very likable character who's trying to solve the problem of the pain side effect to having wings, and the best partner in this endeavor is the woman who broke his heart years ago. There's a bit of awkwardness, tenderness, friendship, fear, suspense and adventure. The bad guy was a little bit weaker than in previous books, in that I thought he needed to be a bit more fleshed out to seem like a real threat, but the overall story did not suffer from it. The heroine was a bit wishy-washy and afraid of commitment, but she redeemed herself and became worthy of Avren in the end. I loved the epilogue!

The narrators were a good fit and complemented each other well. I received this audiobook in exchange for an unbiased review.

Genius & Alien Prince doing science.With benefits?

Another of the Royal winged Alien brothers has their story written. It is a wonderful series by this author. A great plot, steamy romance, thrilling action. This brother decides to try to get his ex girlfriend to work with him and develop a way to solve the problem that faces his race that has to do with their wings.. It is a good way to spend an evening. Very enjoyable!
