Publisher's summary

When Nara Barns and her tiny crew find themselves with a choice between jail or the sex-slave auction block, it’s an easy choice. Especially when they plan to escape their buyers as soon as possible, anyway. Even better, Nara’s buyer wants her for just six days, long enough to get him through his heat until women from his planet can come to his aid.

Six days and then freedom? Sign her up.

However, Nara’s completely unprepared for the impact Captain Cathian Vellar has on her body. To survive his heat, the Tryleskian must feed - and Nara is his favorite meal. Her body can barely withstand the rapture. Soon, her heart is just as engaged. But enduring the pinnacle of Cathian’s heat could kill Nara, and he refuses to risk her life.

Contains mature themes.

quickie in outer space

Introduction to this new species was interesting. . . Nara was going to willingly be sold for a year to work of a punishment. Could she really go through with it? It was iffy there for a bit. There comes another option but she was not so quick to take it when it most certainly sounded like the best option of what was before her.

Honestly, I have to say that the narrator was not truly notice. I was lost in what would happen with Nara. Then I got lost in the fact that she was going to leave. This was a short but good intro to the new or old series for Laurann Dohner. I love her fantasy worlds they are full of vivid details.

Pathetic Woman

The female main character is PATHETIC. I found her begging- non sexual begging- very off putting and hard to listen to. It just never stopped. If I had paid for this book, I'd be angry.

Ripped and rough

An excellent story that makes you sit up and take notice of our heroic heroine who is not afraid to fight for what she wants, snarky attitude and plenty of romance! Ms. Dalton does a wonderful job with narration! Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this...on to the rest of the crew!

I love this new Series by Laurann Dohner!!

It's been 3 years since I discovered her books and I can't get enough of them.

This new series are full of excitement, tenderness, confrontations and of course hot and sexy scenes. 😁 I can't wait for Dovis story!! I got them all on my Kindle and to have it also on audio for me is such a luxury.

Thank you Laurann for all your hard work to keep us all entertain and happy. 😄

Cute, funny and sexy story

Love this story, it's cute and funny and sexy all at the same time. Cathian is a big mean alien with a scary side as well as a funny and soft side that is well done by the author. The narrator Callie Dalton did an amazing job. Narrator was so good I am searching for other books to listen to just becuase she narrated them.

Cathian

I have been dying to listen to this series.
As a fan of Laurann I wasn’t sure what to expect just to expect different and that is exactly what we got. This is unlike any of her other series. I love that we have an alien of sorts and a human but the fact that she knows about other life forms that was kind of nice.

The world building was spot on it wasn’t too much of an overload but there was enough description that you were never confused. I really like all the side characters we have met and I hope we see more of them as the series goes on because some of there were very entertaining.

Nara is a funny human in the aspect that she doesn’t just do as she is told, she uses her mind and won’t take no for an answer and is persuasive without lying I quite liked that. Also with how short these stories are the connection she and Captain Cathian have really shined through. I didn’t feel the instalove, it was fast yes but gradual.

I enjoyed the narration Callie is a great narrator and it is nice to have a change invoices from one series to the next. I was very pleased.

Teen crush = eyeroll headache

Omg I'm halfway through and I'm not sure I can continue to listen to the pathetic pleas and feelings of the simpering naive twit that was bought as a hooker and in 5 days, fell in puppy love tweeny adoration with an ambassador manchild. I'm not sure if the narrators performance increased the absurdity of juvenile lust but good lord, it's like a soap opera or high school sitcom. Idiotic immature conversations, clingy weepy heartsick starry eyed, happy ending sucker fool. A girl willing to be abused sexually to try to snag a boyfriend. The reprehensible behavior is appalling when the social culture is American grade school perpetuating unhealthy feminine roles.
