The Edokas' Destiny: A Mate Index Alien Romance

The Mate Index, Book 3

De: S.J. Sanders

Narrado por: Valentina Ortiz

Destiny Delaine has had enough. As daughter of a former high-ranking general who now served as the ambassador of Earth and a socialite mother, she has been reared to be the proper young woman and helpmate.

Her parents had her life all planned out, right down to her arranged marriage with one of the planetary representatives under her father. No one asked her what she wanted. Determined as too fat and too old for the mate index, she decided to take her own destiny into her hands. She never expected that stowing away on a trade vessel would deliver her to her three destined mates.

As an Edoka Clannid, A’Jular, Sha’melor, and E’budar are as different as brothers can get. Sha’melor is the eldest and member of the Council of Clans and ambassador for Edokora. Unlike his carefree brothers, his life is one of rules and has to be steadfast and reliable while his brothers manage the family business. A’Jular runs as an aggressive trader, and E’budar manages the business end when not getting himself into one trouble or another.

When A’Jular is frozen out of the family accounts by his brother when he tries to purchase mate-hunting rights, he thinks his plans have been thwarted, until he finds himself in possession of a very special stowaway - their mate.

Although biologically compatible with only a single shared fated mate, they have to set aside their differences and come together to make their clannid a real family and protect their female at all cost.

First from this author for me

Interesting hookup of a human female Destiny Delaine the daughter of a high ranking soldier who is an Ambassador and 3 males A’Jular, Sha’melor, and E’budar from the Edoka-a species of reptilian humanoids who are natives of Edokora. When Destiny stows away on A’Jular’s vessel after she sees him in a risqué situation she triggers their mating. They use their tails for purpose of mating, moving in their environment and for defense. They are physically adapted to living along the sheer cliffs of the isles that cover their watery expanse of their planet. Edoka society is organized into clans which are ran by a council. Each clan is made up of clannids, smaller family units consisting of all brothers born from a clutch with their female. Due to their genetic oddity, males must mate and breed cooperatively with their clutch brothers. and becomes their central object of desire. But as it is illegal for Earth women to leave Earth there may be two sequences. Lots of alien sex and a story line that celebrates their BBW.

Fun and sexy

The story was pretty good. The sexy times were very steamy. But the narrator was quite good! She helped me “see” each of the characters and, I thought, she did it well.

Love

I love this book and can’t wait for the rest of the series to come out.

Really Good

I loved the narrator on this story. She did a really good job with the characters' voices. The story is a really sci-fi romance interesting with a strong female lead.

Immature main characters but good audio

The audio was fine and well done. The dialogue however became Juvenile and ridiculous. The story was actually fun and different and I could see it being a series. But the conversations between the main characters were grade school level. Everyone was angry all the time, stomping off and throwing tantrums. I mean what alpha male yells "Winner, winner chicken dinner?" So stupid. If the author brought in some intelligent conversation it could bring this book up a notch or two!

So Good!!!

I love the mate index books, this was my first audible for them and I loved it!!!

Love, love, love

I loved this book the first time I read it. Once I found out that it was on audible I immediately bought it. I can say that It did not disappoint. I loved the narrator and how she made sure to convey not only the words but the emotions behind them. A bad narrator can kill a good book but this narrator made it even better. I highly recommend this story.
