Publisher's Summary

A coldhearted alien. Scorching hot chemistry. And a fated mate bond too strong to be denied!

Detyen Warriors: Volume One brings together the first three books in the Detyen Warriors series. Listen to it as Raze, Toran, and Kayde find human mates and justice for their dying race. The bundle brings you kick-butt heroines, alpha alien heroes, fated mates, and relationships strong enough to span the galaxy!

Soulless

The chemistry between Raze and Sierra is too hot to ignore, even if it should be impossible for a mate bond to form between them. But if Raze's emotions fully return before he claims his denya, he might end up dead for good.

There is no fighting destiny, especially for a doomed Detyen, and Raze already cheated fate once. To be with Sierra, he'll have to do it again, or neither of them will make it out alive.

Ruthless

Iris Mason protects the Earth in her own way by investigating threats and reporting on them to the Sol Defense Agency. At work she's thriving, but personally, the past year has ground her down and tested her resolve. Still recovering from the implosion of her last relationship, she doesn't want the risk that comes with a new man. 

But when her job puts her on a collision course with Toran, a lightning bolt of desire hits her and has her questioning everything.

Heartless

When Kayde undertakes a mission to journey back to his Detyen home, he's ready for the solitude. What he doesn't expect is Quinn hiding away in one of the bunks on his ship.

Forced to undertake a dangerous mission together, even knowing that the remnants of emotion he feels when she's around might be signs of oncoming madness, Kayde and Quinn will need to rely on each other when everything goes wrong and their lives and freedom are at stake.

Can a heartless warrior recover his soul in the arms of a broken woman? Or will the wounds of their pasts prevent the hope of a future?

So far...So boring 2.5 stars

I haven't completed it yet and will update once I do, however I'm a few hours in and just 20 minutes in, was struggling to hang on.

There is so much irrelevant info dump. Just completely irrelevant details about EVERYTHING. There's very little action or even dialogue. 98% of this so far has been inner monologues detailing everything. Every single time we get the H POV there's non stop reminders that he "feels nothing. has no emotions. he has no feelings. Did I mention he has no emotions".
I'm really hoping it's just a slow start and will continue to give it a chance until I just have to end it.

Super

This is a great box set you get the first three books in the series and they are soo good you many many hours of exciting alien adventure. My favorite character was Toran . The narrator did a amazing job. Can’t wait to listen to book four

Detyen Universe

The Detyen universe is in both this series and the other series entitled ‘Mated to the Alien’. But except for a brief mention of other Detyens with human mates the two storylines do not intercept so far. (I haven’t read all the books yet). My biggest issue with the stories is the extended self-doubt, soul-searching, mental hand wringing. It got to the point where I got impatient with so much mental aerobics. However, the adventures were good. That’s what kept me interested. So I will continue to pursue both series. The narration was good except that Ms. Gill only jumped in when the females spoke. It may have been better if Ms. Gill performed more of the narration.

Interesting storyline

All of the stories were pretty good but Heartless is my favorite. Kayde and Quinn both had pretty serious issues to deal with and there was so much action in this book. Totally held my attention. Narrators were ok, books had a lot of backstory to read than actual characters talking. Took some getting used to female voice, but did after the first book. Like that there are 3 books in one. On to the remaining books in series!

This audio bundle set is GREAT!!!

SOULESS:
The old horror legend is true...a Detyen can live past their 30th birthday! But they must do it without their soul, no emotions, no expectations for life. Raze has chosen this path to repay a debt he believes he owes to past Detyens. Sierra is an adopted child of a military general. Her career choice as a spy is not the life her father wants for her and the two continually clash over this subject. On a mission to gather information on a Senator's niece who has been abducted by space pirates/ slavers, Sierra meets an alien to whom she feels an unexpected attraction, a soul deep connection. Raze is on a search and retrieval assignment with two other warriors...find and return a device that may hold the key to what or who destroyed the Detyen planet over 100 years ago. What he finds in addition is his Denya!! Thoughts, emotions and an indescribable feeling of possession bombard him...has he regained his soul because of his mate? Working together, the two groups combine forces to save a dozen human woman from their captors. Raze and Sierra face many obstacles and dangers on their quest to reach their Happily Ever After. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat to the very end... GREAT STORY!

RUTHLESS:
Another fantastic addition to the Detyen warriors line of books. Toran helps save and return a group of women who have been captured by alien slave traders only to be held, pending an investigation by Earth officials. Iris is the investigator assigned to the case but when they meet an instant attraction hits them both like a runaway freight train. Wonderful world building, fantastic characters and a storyline full of action, adventure and danger combine with Toe curling situations, a super hot alien and a strong earth woman to make this an unforgettable story.

HEARTLESS:
I loved this story ! Kayde is a Detyen warrior who has had his soul removed. A procedure that allows one to avoid the Denya Price and live on to fight to protect his people. Quinn is one of of the earth women who were captured by alien slavers, rescued by the Detyen warriors and returned to earth. Kayde, afraid that he may need to be terminated for his obsession for the earth female, embarks on a journey to the Detyen HQ. A suicide mission he's planned to prevent his fellow Detyen warriors from having to end his life. Little does he know that his obsession has accidentally stowed away on his ship. Quinn is hidden away on the ship that rescued her and her companions from the slavers. There to get a momento for one of her fellow abductees, Quinn finds herself in a position of being caught in a place she shouldn't be. Dangerous missions and even more dangerous emotional situations, the two face their fate and their future together. This book has it ALL !! Highs and lows with every emotion known, combined with danger, intrigue and lots of action make this book a great addition to any library.
