The VaDorok (A Mate Index Alien Romance)

The Mate Index, Book 1

De: S.J. Sanders

Narrado por: J. Ross Wilson

First contact changed things on Earth. It opened possibilities that were never before possible. In what started as a trip to participate in an cooperative study, Sara found herself a test subject for breeding compatibility by a species known as the Agraak. Determined that she would not submit to be bred and relocated to serve as a breeder for the rest of her life, she escaped into the wilds of a hostile subarctic planet. Not knowing who to trust, and almost dying on the ice flows, she is rescued by a male larger than life whom her body craves.

Vidok

A warrior-priest of the VaDorok, Vidok had long given up hope of finding his ulukska, his mate. When he finds a tiny female off-worlder on the ice flows of the far northern territory who brings forth his mating heat, his life changes. To keep her, he not only has to help her save her companions, but must also risk their love facing repercussions among his tribe and the intergalactic council.

Trigger-warning: the first two chapters contain elements involving rape.

Love the story but hate the preformance

This voice actor would be great but just not for the part of a younger male. He sounds more like a grandpa and that makes the sexy times feel a little (a lot) icky. Sorry but picturing grandpa helping her make a baby turns my stomach. I don't mind an age gap but this is pushing it even for me. I wish they would redo the audio because I love the story but I can't get passed drunk grandpa unfortunately

Great story and interesting narration ;)

This is my first by SJ Sanders and I’m in love! Samantha is a fabulous writer and the plot kept moving so as to not drag. I liked the characters and interesting scenario each “alien” beings to the story (good or bad). I’m 100% going to continue buying the audiobooks for this series! I was a bit thrown off with the older voice of the narrator but it made me feel like he was a movie voice guy telling a story rather than the characters actually telling the story. Either way he was great to listen to.

I didn’t love the narration

It’s hard to rate the story for me, I found myself distracted by the voice that could be someone’s sweet grandpa, it just didn’t fit. I may pick up where I left off and finish sometime, but my I treat weaned by the halfway mark.

Great story, bad narration

The story was fascinating, but the narrative.. hmm how to put it. It was like having your grandfather reading a steamy romance to you , ughhhhh . That said I would definitely love to hear more stories in this series without grandpa reading it. He not bad just bad for this sort of story.

GREAT BOOK, WRONG NARRATOR

Why would you have an old man reading about romance? really kills the hot scenes. He has a nice voice - but NOT for this genre. I picture him reading about old wizards or something. Speeding up the player a bit helps. However, I loved the storyline and really wished I had listened to the preview before purchasing.
