Publisher's Summary

As an art dealer in New York, Sophia Antonelli’s worked hard to build her business, but fate forces her to make a deal with organized crime. When things go wrong, she takes the fall and is offered a choice: 25 years in jail or the Interstellar Bride Program. The choice is easy, and Sophia is shocked to learn she’s mated to not one but three Viken warriors.

After 10 years fighting the Hive, Gunnar, Erik, and Rolf are now the kings’ guards at Viken United. Bowing to the new queen’s wishes, they agree to share an Interstellar Bride. It should be an easy task since she’s matched to three of them, all battle hardened warriors. But none can save her from being kidnapped during transport.

Accidentally mixed up in an evil organization’s plot to assassinate the Viken queen, Sophia refuses to back down, even with her mates standing protectively in the way. After her experience on Earth, she’s not about to let anyone ruin her new life. Sophia will risk everything to expose her enemy, but when it comes to their new bride, her three Viken mates will do whatever it takes to eliminate the threat and keep her...forever.

Unapologetic MMMF kink

The Good:
Love and adventure with hot alphas and a spirited gal open to new experiences. Consensual kink. The narrators are pretty good, even if all the female and male characters sound the same to me.

The Bad:
Lightning fast plot that goes from kidnapping to insta-lust and insta-MMMF nooky (day 1), then to Sophia going undercover in an alien dom-club and “solving” the alien-terrorist threat by comparing it to her human mafia experience, Sophia “knowing” each male’s past romantic damage by virtue of some kind of nooky osmosis, and everyone declaring insta-love and having still more MMMF nooky (day 2, seriously). This isn’t a book; this is a story outline to connect the multiple nooky scenes.

The P😜rny:
Admittedly, this is only my second book by this author. But, it seems each book starts with VR-nooky to match gals with alien mates and features nooky big on (1) preC, (2) spanking, and (3) consensual domination. The big variables are the number of males and variety of toys, both of which are amped here. Even for free, the lack of meaningful story made the nooky bland. I was not invested in the characters and thus it just felt like a laundry list of positions, toys, and kink.

For better alien romance that’s steamy, fun, and p😜rny,
I’ll stick with Ice Planet Barbarians, Dark Planet Warriors. Eon Warriors, or Drixonians.

Interesting

Great storyline; really liked that it was different with action and drama. Sophia brought a much needed difference to again peak my interest in listening to the remaining books in series. I liked it; ran book has hotter and kinkier sex. The narrators did a good job with characters. I must say the Gunnar would be my favorite, love dark mesmerizing features!

Bow-Chicka-Wow-Wow!

Bow-chicka-wow-wow!

Who wouldn’t want three mates? You get the best of all worlds, right? Easy listen - author is still keeping me interested because I plan to listen to the next book. Most books are the same though - earth bride gets with alien - some conflict/struggle - happy ending + lots of sex.

exciting

Loved the different narrative voices, just enough angst to keep it going with duplicitous action & honorable characters!

I found the narrator poorly matched to the story.

The narration was more suited to pre school story time at the library. This story line truly requires a narrator who could give it life. I couldn’t make it through. Had to return this purchase.

Love it

This book was wonderful mix of smut and mystery I love it so so much

Is this a parody?! It’s AWFUL!

2-I’m-tipsy-but-if-I-wasn’t-it’d-be-rated-worse⭐️’s - this book seemed like a smutty parody of a sci-fi mated bond type of book. It went from one “plot point” to the next with barely any context. It blows my mind the rating of this book, thus far. It was the book version of Baywatch vs Babewatch… like taking an unintentionally lame TV show but making it purposely lame by turning into porn… but barely sexy porn.

Sucks because I’m not one to shy away from sexy books, but this book is embarrassing…. Not in the way of the taboo, but it’s THAT bad.

I have 30 minutes (at 1.5x speed) left in the audiobook and I’m pretty sure I’m too checked out to finish it. And I RARELY DNF books. But… it is what it is.

As for the narrators… they were good. Not 5⭐️-level, but good. Too bad their talents were wasted on such a throwaway book.

so far so good!

but I don't know how to feel about the sharing mates part and having so many. Three mates is hard for me to get into lol although I would like to think in fantasy land this is hot but not if it starts getting gay. 😐 🤣

very good

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

good fast read

the "seed situation" was a bit odd at first ..but you just get past it - simple quick plot device - and move on the narrators we're good occasionally I did lose which "male lead " was speaking but got that sorted on and as needed basis - steamy in all the right places - good but slightly predictable ending - can be read as a stand alone not super necessary to start at the beginning of the series at least not that I can tell for this particular story ( the plot fills in the backstory) so if you like a easy-going Sci Fi read this could be it

3 hot vixens what's not to love

another fabulous narration of this book from this duo, I highly recommend listening to this audio. unlike a scene from a previous book in this series that I was uncomfortable with, the dominant behaviour of the males in this book was portrayed perfectly. these 3 vikens gave their mate information, choice and a paced introduction to mild BDSM. this book has all the hotness and feels in all the right places.

One of the best story!!!

I loved the story, it was interesting. The narration was wonderful. I try to read all the saga, I can hardly wait to the next story.
