Ransom

De: Loki Renard

Narrado por: Aaron Smith

I am Blackmane, feared warlord of the Pleiades. I have captured a human princess. Pretty. Sweet. Innocent. Ripe for the plucking. I will have my way with her, and her father will pay handsomely for her return.

Won’t he?

As the days go by and my ransom demands go unmet, as my guards go missing and are found in pieces, as my spacefaring stronghold falls into terror and chaos, I realize I have made a huge mistake.

This sweet royal angel is an absolute monster. There’s only one thing to be done with little monsters. They need to be broken. They need to be tamed. And they need to be claimed. Forever.

A disturbingly dark yet delightully steamy delight

I don't even know where to start with this review. I'm amazed at how much was put into this story that seems on the shorter side. It was an amazing ride, it delivered on steam, action, and believe it or not even laughter. I was just stunned and in awe of this deliciously dark nugget of a book. I highly reccomend it. But it is a bit dark so beware.

Absolutely delightful..& kinda hot 🔥 🫦😉

It's a short book but it's worth every penny! I wasn't sure when I read other reviews saying it was cute and funny. I'm always on the hunt for dark, taboo, and darker. I'm not sure how but this story was just amazingly satisfying! It's violent and graphicly sexual and light years away from anything even vaguely PC. The crazy thing is that it was funny and sweet and cute! Great HEA ending leaving you feeling all “awww.”Somehow this book manages to combine all those aspects without being an overly dramatic, cutesy, happy go lucky heap of juvenile ridiculousness.
This story more than satisfied. Dark, taboo, and sexual enough to keep my jaded attention. Sweet and fresh/original enough to make me feel less jaded!
Absolutely worth the money or credit. It’s going onto my favorites list for sure. I think this may become one of my go-to relistens.
If your still on the fence- just do it! Go for it! Seriously! Get the book, it's great. You'll be happy you did

LOVED IT!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

this book was very good! the narrator was excellent. he had a very sexy rough voice but spoke clearly. I didn't mind his female voice at! some female voices aren't good at all so I won't say I'd prefer a duet. his female voice was fine. the story was great. and I absolutely loved her! she was strong, witty and hilarious 😂. I love dangerous women! and the fact that the author didn't change her into some weak scared woman just for the MMC was perfect!! she's strong and he's strong. no need to change her! I loved that HE loved her monster inside! the spice was 🔥🔥🔥🔥 oooo baby! I just wish we had another book following this story. perhaps with his red haired friend? that would be fun.

I Enjoyed It

I really enjoyed this book. The premise was so much fun! Astoria was a complete sociopath and being in her head was the most interesting. She had no compassion or consequences for her actions. She could murder someone for standing there and not feel any remorse. Yet she looked sweet and beautiful as an angel. I completely loved her. As for Blackmane, he's done bad stuff and I didn't really like him throughout the book.

I listened to this on audiobook narrated by Aaron Smith. He did an excellent job with the different voices- the grittiness of Blackmane, the even-toned guards, the high class softer-sounding princess. It was easy to forget one narrator was doing it all.

Overall: 4 stars
Performance: 5 stars
Story: 4 stars

Unexpected

Totally unexpected story and there is no damsel in distress in which made the story seem more interesting and genuinely entertaining. I really enjoyed the story and the narrator did a great job!

Absolutely Hysterical

This was alien abduction with a humorous twist. The abducted earth woman was more than the aliens thought they were getting. She proves to be more deadly than the fiercest alien. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book. Loki Senate's books never fail to entertain me. Aaron Smith's narration is absolutely delicious.

Great short story

I really enjoyed this book. Can’t wait for more. Aaron smith did an excellent job at narrating

Fantastic Read!!!

I came across this book while looking for my next read. A new to me author, the book was tagged as romance and the cover (which I love, by the way) with an alien warrior caught my attention. I jumped in without reading the summary.
While I do enjoy a good alien romance story, I was expecting something typical to what I've been reading lately. However, I was quickly and pleasantly surprised that this story has a deliciously deviant twist on the "damsel in distress." I absolutely loved it and loved that it made this alien romance stand out amongst a sea of others!
Really just an amazing read, lots of steamy spice and phenomenal audio narration!!!
Highly recommend this one!

Ransom

This was my first Loki Renard book. I really enjoyed it. Blackmane is an alien that comes and take a human princess for ransom. However he didn’t get a sweet and innocent princess. His princess is a blood thirsty minx. This was a fun and easy listen. Aaron Smith did a great job narrating.

Cute little Alien romance

And by cute, I mean a little dark, a little twisty, and a little stabby and I totally loved it! The princess was nothing that anyone expected, and I love unexpected women and characters. And her outfit choices just tickled me. Astaria has inspired me to find a knife to hide in my hair. (If only I didn't have such thin hair!) And the ending was great. I was wondering how they were going to wrap up this little book so quickly. But Loki Renard managed to do it in a perfect way. If a second book came out after this, I would most definitely read/ listen to it. I think Renard left himself a lot of room to create another book after this. Now that Astaria has her own little mission, and she has Blackmane to help her. Who would have thought, an alien pirate would be the good influence. But that the most you're gonna get outta me! I hate feeling as if I may be revealing too much. But book summaries you read before buying a book give away just as much, if not more. I think. lol. I just want to get across how different this book is, in a good way.
The narrator did a pretty good job. He was easy to understand, and I was able to speed the book u a decent amount and still pick up everything comfortably. I definitely think a dual narrator would have been great here because the POV changes multiple times throughout each chapter. But overall, this narrator did a pretty good job doing the whole book himself. I enjoyed him. And I recommend this book...as long as you don't have delicate sensibilities. (lol)
