De: Ava Ross

Narrado por: Teddy Hamilton, Tawnia Murray

Can a scarred alien warrior and a human woman find love together on a planet far from Earth?

When animal-shelter assistant Lily is selected as a mail-order bride in the Extraterrestrial Matchmaking Program, she dreams of starting a new life with her computer-matched alien groom. But on the way to Crakair, she's kidnapped and caged on one of the planet's moons. Her future appears hopeless.

A mercenary, Jorg's a seven-foot-tall, scaled green alien with scars on his face that make others flinch. Abandoned as a youngling and forced to raise himself, he's learned not to expect much from others. He finds satisfaction in rescuing kids who have been stolen and returning them to their homes. But when he watches Lily's introduction video, his matebond ignites. Maybe fate will give him a chance at love after all.

Then, Lily is stolen by other aliens. With his blood rage igniting, Jorg's determined to rescue her. But once he does, will she choose to stay with a wounded alien warrior or return to her safe life on Earth?

Jorg is book three in the Mail-Order Brides of Crakair series, but it can be enjoyed as a stand-alone.

The heroine: Lily - A virus killed of most of the human males and also killed the females on the planet Crakair. Recently the Crakair males made a deal with Earth for technology and in exchange they opened an agency to send brides from Earth to Crakair. The brides are matched with a male from Crakair and when they arrive on the planet they have ten days to decide whether to stay or they can return to Earth. Lily’s sister Sadie had recently joined the program and wanting to be near her sister, Lily decided to do the same. She worked in an animal shelter on Earth and was hoping this would be a new life for her after some terrible things had happened to her in the past.

The Hero: Jorg - he is a hardened mercenary. Though he was friends with Bryk, who lived next door to him and had been a fleet commander. He was trusted by Bryk and Sadie to watch Bryk’s son when they were away. Jorg worried that Lily (Sadie’s sister and the bride chosen for him), may have been turned off by his appearance and gruff nature. He was worried that his scarred face would scare her, but after sending her a video, he had hope for the match, he was tired of being alone.

The Story: After seeing the video that Lily sent to Jorg, he felt the mate bond and couldn’t wait the seven more days for her to get to Crakair. So, he decided to take his ship and meet her on her way there. Though he knew he would have to cloak his ship and sneak aboard the starship she was traveling on. When he got to the starship, he snuck on and was chased by some of the droids aboard the ship. Lily didn’t recognize him, but she was attracted to him when she saw him and surprised to find out who he was.

This setup has such a compelling blend of emotional vulnerability and high-stakes sci-fi intrigue. You’ve got a deeply wounded heroine seeking a fresh start, and a brooding, battle-hardened hero afraid he’s too damaged to be loved—it’s practically tailor-made for that aching, slow-burn connection. Lily’s background in an animal shelter adds a layer of compassion and resilience that makes her feel grounded, even amidst the interplanetary drama. And Jorg—sneaking aboard a starship just to be closer to a woman he’s never met but already senses a bond with? That’s a beautifully reckless kind of devotion. Things got really exciting after Jorg leaves the starship and it gets attacked by aliens out to capture the human females.

This audiobook was narrated from multiple perspectives, done in dual narration by Teddy Hamilton and Tawnia Murray. Teddy Hamilton is one of my favorite male narrators and he always does a terrific job. He has an awesome voice and is very expressive, he is also great at using different voices for different characters. Tawnia Murray is not one of my favorites, though she is not bad and has a pleasant voice.

Creative twist

Ava Ross, as usual, writes a charming, sci-fi romance full of vivid characters, witty banter, heartfelt connections, and fun action. This time, Jorg & Lily end up on an off planet escape/rescue adventure with a sidekick protocol android, Bane, and a scrappy “puppy” named Thor. Hilarity and sexiness ensues. There’s also decent suspense. Together, they slay their enemies and befriend the scary alien beasts that are chasing them. Jorg is the sweetest alpha male in the universe, and Lily is the spunkiest friend and lover to alien and animal alike. Highly recommend!
