Taken by the Hunter

Xarc'n Warriors, Book 3

CONNIE

I have a purple stalker.

I don’t know what possessed me to hit the Xarc’n warrior with my bat, but now I have a stalker—a big, purple stalker with fangs and horns. And to make things worse, I can’t go back to New Franklin.

After my first night out on my own, I wake up all wrapped up and cuddly with a certain possessive hunter. He purrs like a giant cat and vows to protect me. And to top it all off, he has a pet squirrel. A freakin’ pet squirrel!

The “Jerk” claims he can’t let go of me, but I don’t buy it. I’m no squirrel, and I don’t intend to be his pet. Not even when he claims I belong with him and promises to protect me forever.

JORG’K

Killing the scourge is my calling, and I revel in every violent encounter. Hunters are created with strong instincts to protect, but mine never fully manifested. I just wanted to fight. I never understood why some hunters wanted anything more. Until now.

I can’t get the little human out of my head. She attacks me with her wooden club, and I realize she’s all I ever wanted.

My brave female watches me as I fight the deadly scourge, so I give her a show of my strength and skills. I will convince her to be my mate. I have to. The mating bond has chosen, and it is never wrong!

Good

Keeping on with series. The bugs and the story, is entertaining. Moving on to next the one

Taken by the Hunter

I loved the story of Connie and her stalker Jorg’k. At first Connie didn’t want anything to do with Jorg’k, thinking she couldn’t trust Xarc’n warriors. But when they meet Connie realizes that what was told about the aliens was not true at all. Connie escaped the corrupt settlement she stayed at just in time. Jorg’k helped her and introduced Connie to another group of humans and warriors working together to survive and fight “the bugs”.

This story is entertaining, exciting, has humor and adventure. I think it is very well written and I very much want to know what will happen next! I am a big fan of the author and her series.

Both narrators did an excellent job making the story even more exiting and entertaining!! Now I need to read AND listen to the entire series, LOL!!

taken by the hunter

really enjoyed this book in this intriguing series. i love the addition of the pet the warrior has and his name for him. this was very well narrated with the two perspectives

Lots of fun

Well written, I think I’ll splurge on the rest of the series. Good relationship progression with engaging plot and conflict

Skeptic Meets Protector

What makes this story engaging is Connie's practical independence - she's willing to leave perceived safety for uncertain freedom when she realizes something's wrong. The relationship develops naturally, with "Jerk" (as she amusingly first calls him) giving her space while still protecting her from afar. Their dynamic works well - he enjoys showing off his bug-hunting prowess while she gradually opens her mind to their connection after seeing evidence from other hunter-human couples. Their journey from mistrust to understanding feels well-paced. The performances by Troy Duran and Kiera Stevens bring these characters vividly to life.

Self-assured hunter finds his mate.

I really liked this story. It was entertaining and enjoyable especially when Connie fought with herself over her real feelings for Jorg’k. The characters were interesting and likable for the most part. Jorg’k and Connie were quite the pair. Jorg’k was already ready to keep Connie forever BEFORE they even met face to face. The mate bond had me totally cracking up. I was irritated and wanted to smack Jorg’k when he was using important time to confront the men when there were more important things to do. The group that Connie used to live with were seriously messed up. They seemed to get what they deserved. I liked how the story ended although I would have liked an epilogue further out. I recommend reading this book.

Listening to the audiobook was wonderful and enjoyable as well. The narrators did an amazing job of bringing the characters to life. I would also recommend listening to the audiobook if you have the chance.

This Hunter’s Mate Is A Tough Nut To Crack

In this story Jorg’k, our Xarc’n warrior, finds himself in an uphill battle against more than just the bugpocalypse. His mate Connie is an independent woman who fights the mate-bond, even when faced with the ironclad proof of her mate’s locked embrace. It can be hard for some of our female characters to not think in terms of human relationships, but our lovable Xarc’n warriors always seem to find ways to persuade them 😜 Loved listening to this story, and Keira Stevens & Troy Duran knocked it put of the park once again! I love listening to their narration bringing the story to life 🥰

Those bugs!

Book has an interesting storyline. Those bugs give me the creeps. Narrators did a good job.

The heroine: Connie - she lived in the New Franklin settlement in the last few months since the bugpocolypse. She was starting to suspect that the people that ran the settlement were doing so in a very shady way. Connie was a Forager and she liked that. She was able to leave the settlement and gather items they needed.

The Hero: Jorg’K - he is a Xarc’n warrior, a scourge hunter and when he first came across Connie and saved her, he knew that she was his mate. He knew that she was wary of him, so he followed her when she foraged.

The Story: Connie was finding it harder each month to meet the quotas they set at the settlement. If you didn’t meet the quota you were either kicked out or if you were a woman, you were required to become a mother to populate the post apocalyptic world. Connie suspected that the guy who had been making advances towards her, which she turned down, was the one that was pushing for her to become a mother, with him as the father.

Connie took off on her own when she found out that the settlement was going to force her hand even though she was on track to make her quota. There is also a new scourge variant on the loose. It is like a giant centipede with sharp knife like protrusions on the sides of their body that are coated with venom. The hunters and their women call them Centicreeps.

Like the first two books, this one was told in dual points of view via dual narration, with narration done by Troy Duran and Kiera Stevens. They both do an awesome job and I want to listen to the whole series. I like the whole theme of the huge alien bugs that have invaded Earth. The world is very reminiscent of The Walking Dead except killer bugs instead of killer zombies. The world building is just terrific and the description of the different insects was great.
