Raider Warlords of the Vandar Collection

Books 1-3

De: Tana Stone

Narrado por: Addison Barnes, Marcio Catalano

What happens when you cross the ruthless and deadly Vandar raiders who roam the galaxy? These women are about to find out....

Possessed (Book one):
I sacrificed myself to save my sister’s ship. Now, the alien warlord owns me. The dark and menacing raiders are known for terrorizing the galaxy, and I'm forced to share a bed with the most ruthless one of them all. But the dominant warlord wants more than my submission--he wants to possess my soul.

Plundered (Book two):
My sister gave herself to the raider warlord to save me. Now, I’m hunting him down and getting her back. Everyone knows the Vandar raiders are cruel and merciless, so when my ship is attacked by another of the alien race’s warlords, I expect to be blown out of the sky. Instead, he takes me as his captive. I may be the warlord’s property, but no way will I submit to his demands. Even if his hard body and fiery eyes ignite a desire in me like nothing has before.

Pillaged (Book three):
I was promised against my will to an empirical general, so I escaped, only to end up right into the arms of an even more ruthless Vandar warlord who wants to claim me as his. But he has no intention of forcing me. He wants to make a deal—become his willingly, and I will get what I’ve always wanted—my freedom from a loveless, arranged marriage. Can I agree to a deal with the darkly dominant warlord who stokes both my fear and desire?

This collection of three full-length sci-fi romance novels contains lots of HEAs and no cheating. It features steamy scenes on a raider warship, alien horde space battles, and some serious enemies-to-lovers and fake relationship heat.

If you like dominant and dangerous alien warriors, alien abduction to seduction romance, and kickass heroines, you’ll love this collection of the first three novels in Tana Stone's best-selling Raider Warlords of the Vandar series.

The story is fantastic

The story is great. All the elements I require. Story/world building, sexual tension, FILTHY sex scenes, battles, dominant males etc. I love it!
The real frosting on the cake is Marcio Catalano's voice. It's like deep, dark silk being poured into your ears and senses. Trust me. This series is A+++

I enjoyed the premise of the mating marks

Pure, wonderful romance at its finest. The voices could be differentiated and sounded natural, Women sounded like women and men lime men.

Raider Warlords of the Vandar Collection (Books 1-3)

All 3 books of the beginning of this kept me engaged. I would recommend the entire series to everyone. Loved all the characters.

Steamy, suspenseful and captivating alien romances

I love a book with a sexy alpha hero and a sexy, smart heroine and add in aliens dressed and acting like Vikings to the mix - yes please. Despite the FMCs being “taken” as the property of the Vandar, these are not dubcon or noncon situations. The relationships all the couples develop organically without forced intimacy. The stories were well written and included witty dialogue, three dimensional characters who grow, and an engaging storyline with all the good elements that you’d expect from this genre - fighting, dangerous situations, alien physiology and cultures, evil actors, loyal friends, painful pasts, drama, snark, mystery, plot twists, and laughs. The development of interesting secondary characters was good and had me waiting anxiously for more books with them in starring roles. I will definitely be reading more of this series. Vandar warriors are clearly no match for human females.

Possessed

Astrid is a human woman who works on her sister’s transport ship as a navigator. A lapse in attention by her causes the ship to inadvertently enter Vandar airspace. Kratos is a Vandar warrior and the Raas of his horde. When he boards Astrid’s ship and she offers to take her sister’s place to save her sister’s life, Kratos agrees because he is drawn to her.

Plundered

Tara is a human woman who is the captain of a transport. Her sister was taken prisoner by a Vandar Raas and she has been looking for her ever since. Kaalek came to destroy Tara’s ship for encouraging the Empire to attack the Vandar. In exchange for not destroying her ship, Tara agrees to go willingly with Kaalek back to his Vandar ship.

Pillaged

Toraan is the Raas of one of the largest Vandar hordes. Rachel is a human who was sold to the Admiral of the Empire as his bride. While having a wedding dress fitting, the Empire ship is engaged in a battle with two Vandar hordes and Rachel uses that distraction as a way to escape. Toraan’s horde captures her ship and upon learning who she is to the empire, he offers to mate her as protection for her and an insult to the Empire.

Addison Barnes and Marcio Catalano did a phenomenal job narrating the stories and characters into life with enough change of inflection, tone and cadence to voice multiple characters quite convincingly. These books were great to read as ebooks but the narration brings the stories to a whole new level.

Loving this Series

This is my first time reading this author and I love her writing. The Raider Warlords of Vandar is a great mix of the kind of sci-fi, action and romance stories I like. Thus was my first but it certainly won't be my last time reading this author. I look forward to reading much more of her work.
