Publisher's summary

An alien insists I’m his fated mate. After we escape a deadly alien game called the labyrinth, he says he’s keeping me.

This deal was supposed to be simple: take a shuttle to the space station; connect with an alien in need of Slaking—their term, not mine. One week between the furs with no hearts involved, something I’m determined to avoid after being burned. I’ll return to Earth, and nine months from now? I’ll deliver a scaly bundle of joy.

Right.

Instead, Krek and I are captured by big alien spiders and thrown into a deadly, underground tunnel game called the labyrinth. The spiders tell us we're free to go if we survive the challenge.

Krek insists we'll escape the labyrinth. He says I'll soon have a child on the way. He also says I'm his fated mate...and he's not returning me to Earth....

Alien Hunter’s Fate is book three in the Fated Mates of the Xilan Warrior Series. This book has aliens who look and act alien, steamy romance, and a guaranteed happily ever after. This series is best listened to in order.

The heroine: Rose - Rose is good friends with Avery and Lydia from the first two books in the series. She wants a baby but not a man. She had been married before and caught her husband Bob cheating on her with a neighbor. He blamed her for being boring in bed. Though she really was never interested in being more adventurous with Bob. She wouldn’t mind it with someone else though. Maybe an alien.

The Hero: Krek - he is a Xilan hunter and warrior. He has issues since he feels tremendous guilt for letting down his family and thinks he is responsible for their deaths. He is soon going in to his slaking and doesn’t want to find love, because he doesn’t think he deserves it. So he is determined to find any woman that appeals to him and slake his desires for a week and be done with it.

The Story: A virus spread across the planet and made most of the men from earth Sterile. Meanwhile across the stars in another galaxy, the males of Xilan were at war with a large spider like race of aliens and most of their female population was decimated. The males of Xilan go into a sort of heat which they call “Slaking” for one week every three years. They contacted earth and proposed a solution to both their problems. The males of Xilan while they are fertile during their slaking will meet the females from earth who want children, and each will have their needs met.

Krek feels possessive about Rose from the beginning. He feels from the start that she is his fated mate when a mate bond symbol appears on his hand. Rose is a very small woman and Krek is really protective of her and wants to do a better job at keeping her safe than he did for his family.

This series is pretty formulaic about how the couples get together and start to get to know each other when the spider aliens attack the space port. Though from there each couple goes on a different adventure. This couple, like the two in the last book, got to the escape pods and were moving towards the moons nearest the space station, when this couple went off to one moon and the other couple ended up on a different moon. Though both moons are full of dangerous creatures.

This book is told in dual points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Felicity Munroe and Stephen Dexter. I genuinely like the narration done by these two. I like both of their voices and they both do a terrific job at doing multiple voices for the different characters and their opposite gender voices don’t bother me at all.

Almost couldn’t get through this book

I love the storyline and the male narrator, but the heroine's voice. It was so obnoxious I almost sent the book back. I decided to grit through only because of the storyline, and I often skipped through the chapters where the heroine spoke. What I find interesting is that I have never had an issue with Felicity Munroe. Also, listening to the intro of the next book, the voice of the female character is perfect even though it is the same narrator. I decided not to send a book back simply because I anxiously await the next book in this wonderful series.
