Ransom

De: Loki Renard

Narrado por: Aaron Smith

I am Blackmane, feared warlord of the Pleiades. I have captured a human princess. Pretty. Sweet. Innocent. Ripe for the plucking. I will have my way with her, and her father will pay handsomely for her return.

Won’t he?

As the days go by and my ransom demands go unmet, as my guards go missing and are found in pieces, as my spacefaring stronghold falls into terror and chaos, I realize I have made a huge mistake.

This sweet royal angel is an absolute monster. There’s only one thing to be done with little monsters. They need to be broken. They need to be tamed. And they need to be claimed. Forever.

A disturbingly dark yet delightully steamy delight

I don't even know where to start with this review. I'm amazed at how much was put into this story that seems on the shorter side. It was an amazing ride, it delivered on steam, action, and believe it or not even laughter. I was just stunned and in awe of this deliciously dark nugget of a book. I highly reccomend it. But it is a bit dark so beware.

Absolutely delightful..& kinda hot 🔥 🫦😉

It's a short book but it's worth every penny! I wasn't sure when I read other reviews saying it was cute and funny. I'm always on the hunt for dark, taboo, and darker. I'm not sure how but this story was just amazingly satisfying! It's violent and graphicly sexual and light years away from anything even vaguely PC. The crazy thing is that it was funny and sweet and cute! Great HEA ending leaving you feeling all “awww.”Somehow this book manages to combine all those aspects without being an overly dramatic, cutesy, happy go lucky heap of juvenile ridiculousness.
This story more than satisfied. Dark, taboo, and sexual enough to keep my jaded attention. Sweet and fresh/original enough to make me feel less jaded!
Absolutely worth the money or credit. It’s going onto my favorites list for sure. I think this may become one of my go-to relistens.
If your still on the fence- just do it! Go for it! Seriously! Get the book, it's great. You'll be happy you did

LOVED IT!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

this book was very good! the narrator was excellent. he had a very sexy rough voice but spoke clearly. I didn't mind his female voice at! some female voices aren't good at all so I won't say I'd prefer a duet. his female voice was fine. the story was great. and I absolutely loved her! she was strong, witty and hilarious 😂. I love dangerous women! and the fact that the author didn't change her into some weak scared woman just for the MMC was perfect!! she's strong and he's strong. no need to change her! I loved that HE loved her monster inside! the spice was 🔥🔥🔥🔥 oooo baby! I just wish we had another book following this story. perhaps with his red haired friend? that would be fun.

I Enjoyed It

I really enjoyed this book. The premise was so much fun! Astoria was a complete sociopath and being in her head was the most interesting. She had no compassion or consequences for her actions. She could murder someone for standing there and not feel any remorse. Yet she looked sweet and beautiful as an angel. I completely loved her. As for Blackmane, he's done bad stuff and I didn't really like him throughout the book.

I listened to this on audiobook narrated by Aaron Smith. He did an excellent job with the different voices- the grittiness of Blackmane, the even-toned guards, the high class softer-sounding princess. It was easy to forget one narrator was doing it all.

Overall: 4 stars
Performance: 5 stars
Story: 4 stars

Unexpected

Totally unexpected story and there is no damsel in distress in which made the story seem more interesting and genuinely entertaining. I really enjoyed the story and the narrator did a great job!

Dark Alien Romance

Ransom by Loki Renard is a dark alien romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Aaron Smith.

This is the first book of Loki's that I have read, and it won't be my last. It's been a while since I read an Alien romance and I sure have missed them. I really enjoyed the relationship between Astaria and Blackmane. I liked that we got both of their points of views throughout the book.

Aaron did a great job on the narration. I look forward to listening to more of his work in the future.

The Flock Team

Ransom!

This is an interesting and intriguing read that is steamy. The story is an alien romance with plenty of discipline and alpha male dominance. The plot is engaging and nicely developed. I like the characters and the humor laced throughout the story. The narrator did a good job with the material and bringing the characters to life.

Absolutely Hysterical

This was alien abduction with a humorous twist. The abducted earth woman was more than the aliens thought they were getting. She proves to be more deadly than the fiercest alien. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book. Loki Senate's books never fail to entertain me. Aaron Smith's narration is absolutely delicious.

Great short story

I really enjoyed this book. Can’t wait for more. Aaron smith did an excellent job at narrating

If Alien Rom-Coms are your thing, READ THIS

Ransom is a very different type of alien romance. It reads quite a bit like a rom-com merged with an alien romance.

Imagine Ruby Dixon mixed with Pippa Grant.

So if you typically read smutty alien romance, this may be a bit too silly for you, but if you love rom-com vibes with your alien smut, then this is the book for you.
