Being dragged through a mirror, naked and screaming, onto an extraterrestrial ship was bad. Finding out I had been sold to a huge alien male who looks like the devil was worse. But learning he wanted to trade me to an intergalactic petting zoo was the worst of all! Now I'm whizzing through the galaxy with a robot butler, a trio of nib-nibs (they're like tiny green monkeys), and one huge, muscular, and very grumpy alien.
Some scary-looking aliens have just boarded Fortuna Tau, our little asteroid mining station. Kordolians, by the looks of things. What the hell do they want with this floating rust bucket? What are they even doing here? Come to think of it, I've never seen a Kordolian up close before. They're huge and intimidating, with strange silver skin and pointed ears. They have freaky nano-armor, and they're packing a serious arsenal. We humans stand no chance against them.
A lush, tropical island on an icy planet makes no sense. Then again, not much makes sense anymore after waking up and finding myself not in bed but on a strange world populated by aliens. Since that moment, I've learned that nothing is normal anymore and I've got to roll with the punches. I can handle this, though. I'm strong and capable. So...washed up on a tropical island? Got it handled. Stranded alone with a brutal but delicious alien man that can't speak English but has great...ahem...body language? Yup, handled.
When a potential threat against her life forces Eva Daily to seek shelter on another world, she has only one option available to her. She must offer herself to the Interstellar Bride Program. After a deeply humiliating assessment of her suitability, Eva will be assigned a mate and transported to his world to become his bride. Upon arriving on the desert planet Trion, Eva soon learns that things are quite different than she is used to on Earth.
Since she's creeping up on the age of bearing service, the Earth government wants Jassa to have a baby and then hand it off for a family to raise, but Jassa wants her own family. Which means calling Celestial Mates. One questionnaire, a bit of blood, and a race to get away from the Department of Population, and she's got her wish - tall, sexy as hell, and occasionally green alien Vroe, the High Warlord of Vialea. Vroe aches for a mate who doesn't see him as just a rise in status. He wishes for warmth and affection and goes to Celestial Mates to find...Jassa Marizen.
Emma Krist is a dud - a person from a powerful line of witches with no magic of her own. Not only that, but she's full figured instead of thin, like her gorgeous, talented cousins, and has dishwater brown hair and muddy hazel eyes to match. So she figures there's no way she'll be chosen as the Bloodlust Sacrifice for the new vampire Sovereign. Not that she would want to be - what girl in her right mind would volunteer to be a sex slave for a year, giving up the rights to her own body and sexuality to a dominating male who likes to bite? Not Emma, that's for sure.

At 27, she's still a virgin because attempting to have sex sends her into lockdown mode. She's miserable and stuck - until Jude Jacobson comes along. Tall, blond, and dangerous, Jude is the most feared vampire in town, and the minute he sees her, he wants Luz. Vampires and shapeshifters don't date, but he makes her an offer she can't refuse.
Sadie Becker is not herself. A 40-year-old divorced mother of two, Sadie wakes up one morning and realizes that she looks and feels like she did in her 20s. Suddenly she's unable to walk around in her new town of Cougarville without men falling at her feet. Confused and alone, Sadie isn't sure who to turn to...except answers to her problems might reside with her broodingly handsome reclusive neighbor, Mathis.
Years ago, the skies ripped open and the world was destroyed in fire and ash. Dragons - once creatures of legend - are the enemy. Vicious and unpredictable, they rule the skies of the ruined cities, forcing humanity to huddle behind barricades for safety. Claudia's a survivor. She scrapes by as best as she can in a hard, dangerous world. When she runs afoul of the law, she's left as bait in dragon territory. She only has one chance to survive - to somehow tame a dragon and get it to obey her.
Joran, Crown Prince of Pyros, needs to claim his mate in order to ascend to the throne one day. The problem? His destined mate isn’t on Pyros. When a galaxy-wide search uncovers a backwater world full of potential mates for Joran and the other unmated males on his planet, plans are set in motion and Star-Crossed Dating is created. Now, the first wave of men are on their way to claim their unsuspecting brides. Joran’s mission: Go to Earth, claim his mate, and bring her back to Pyros. How hard could it be?
Kirall was desperate. He was a Black Prime Dragoon, the strongest and fiercest of his kind. He was returning home after defeating the Varana when a small planet's moon triggered his Joining Heat. It shouldn't have been possible. He was right. Autumn was desperate. She was human, female, and struggling to survive. At 22, she was barely making ends meet. It's why she agreed to impersonate her roommate as a waitress for the weekend at a private party. She believed the money would change her life. She was right.
His name is Khazaar Drasurq. He is different from all the other men she knows. He is dangerous. He is unpredictable. To Cassie, he is the most desirable man she has ever laid eyes on. For Khazaar, on the other hand, she exists only to secure the survival of his race. She is a little cog in the big plan the possessive Alien lord is following. As Cassie is thrown into his dangerous world, she soon realizes that she desperately needs something only he can give her. His protection.
Joyce's life is mapped out: dead end job, after dead end job, until she is dead. At least, that is until Kede Tria - a Doshan alien - shows up and takes her away from it all. Literally. He's overbearing, possessive, sexy as hell, and everything she never knew she wanted in a man, er, alien. Of course, life happens and she discovers Death by Chocolate isn't just a dessert, it's a reality. Good thing Kede is there to save her...by making her Doshan.
For most, a plane crash means the end of life. For Dusti Dawson, it's just the beginning...Dusti and her sister Batina survived the crash, thanks to a couple of brothers who are equal parts menacing and muscled. She'd be grateful...if they hadn't turned out to be delusional kidnappers, who believe Dusti's grandfather is some monstrous halfbreed creature bent on murder. Turns out Vampires, Lycans, and Gargoyles do exist - and they've been crossbreeding to form two hybrid races.
You'd think being abducted by aliens would be the worst thing that could happen to me. And you'd be wrong. Because now, the aliens are having ship trouble, and they've left their cargo of human women - including me - on an ice planet. And the only native inhabitant I've met? He's big, horned, blue, and really, really has a thing for me....
The eligible dragon shifter males must hunt a handful of females. It's first catch, first serve. The biggest problem is that the females are human. Despite feedback to the contrary, Coal thinks they are weak and breakable. In his opinion, not capable of surviving the hunt, let alone the mating that will follow. He doesn't believe that a lowly human is capable of birthing him a royal heir, so why has his brother, the king, tasked him with claiming one?
Tattooed, muscled, and fierce, they look like felons; but these highly trained agents are humanity's protectors - the only ones standing between Earth and the threats of the galaxy. They are the Star Guardians. A born geek, Juanita has dreamed of exploring the stars for as long as she can remember. Getting kidnapped by slavers from another planet? Not so much. If she's lucky, she might be able to convince the hot guy protecting her from the others to help her escape.
I just traveled halfway across the galaxy to meet my new husband. With no women left on Auxem, he should know how to appreciate a lady. Especially me, a lady from Earth! He knows how lucky he has to have me. He knows how far I've come. So why is he acting like such a complete jerk? I know he's used to getting what he wants, but underneath his confident, chiseled exterior, he's hiding a big secret. He barely speaks to me. Now we're stranded together on a remote planet. He's got a perfect body. I hope he knows how to use it.
Kat O'Connor is no pushover. She's a no-nonsense girl with a common-sense approach to life. But there's nothing common about what's happening to her lately....
First she was forced to have a kinky mind ménage with two of the hottest and most irritating men in the galaxy - Twin Kindred warriors Deep and Lock - in order to locate her kidnapped friend. Then she couldn't get their feelings out of her head. And now she's on her way to their home planet, Twin Moons, to find a cure for the debilitating illness their unorthodox joining caused, when all she really wants to do is go home.
Locks Tight, the light twin of the two, is already in love with Kat. Her curvy, plus-sized body is the epitome of beauty on his home planet, and her sharp mind makes her doubly attractive. Though he fell for her the moment he saw her, Twin Kindred are unable to mate a woman alone. Lock knows nothing can happen between them without his brother....
Stabs Deep. The dark twin has a secret agony in his past - a tragedy he feels he and he alone is to blame for. He, too, hungers for Kat, but he hides his fear of rejection behind an impenetrable wall of angry sarcasm. For if he lets anyone get too close, the unbearable pain he has already endured once may happen again.
Now Kat and her twin warriors are on a quest - but they're all looking for different things. Kat wants to find a way to dissolve the half-formed bond between them so she can be alone in her own head again. Lock wants to convince both her and his brother to complete the bond that will keep them together forever. And Deep is trying to protect his heart and love Kat from afar...though it grows more and more difficult to deny the hunger he feels for her growing inside him.
…. my headphones shorted out!
Evangeline has very creative mind! She can write an enticing erotic story, with a fascinating plot, and well developed characters that will also tug at your heart strings!
I've put off listening to Sought for some time now because I've never really been interested in listening to a story about threesomes; however, I wanted to hear Kat's story, and get ready for the next book in the series. I've listen to other books that had scenes that involved a plethora of erotic and naughty ideas, but never one quite like this story! Evangeline did an amazing job delivery such an erotic story tastefully.
Kudos to Ann Johnstonbrown on narrating such an sexy story! I don't know if I could have done it, I'd probably laughed myself silly trying to say some stuff the was mention in this story! :-) Awesome job on the narration!
I'm looking forward to see what's in store for us, in book four! Well worth my time and recommend the story by credit, sale or whispersync!

Excellent 14 hour continual story of the 3 ladies & their relationship with males from other worlds. AND finally adding a black female (biracial relative) in the story.. This was worth the money & wait. Yes at times there was over description to extend the story line which was irritating when you just wanted to find out what happen. But, it was worth the wait. I have always enjoyed stories with "aliens" coming to earth & enjoy ALL races not just anglo ones. Specially due to 88% of the world population is ASIAN and 93% is non white. I appreciate the writer attempting to throw a different skin color females in the story once in awhile. I can't wait to see how the "cousin" with the mark & the all father's son will play into future stories. I hope the writer DOES NOT change her race or skin color.. I look forward to the next book.. Great job. For those of us the buy audible books and are loyal to the arts that support DIVERSITY with characters.. KUDOS from this middle aged (educated) medical professional female with dark skin... (hint hint) GET THIS BOOK!! extremely entertaining & worth the money!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, its a fun "out-of-this-world" read. Literally. But it still appeals to the romantic at heart.
What did you like best about this story?
I like the adventure and how I never knew what was coming up. It has unpredictable moments, lots of them, which made it hard for me not to want to listen every chance I got.
What does Anne Johnstonbrown bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Anne Johnstonbrown is a fabulous narrator. That is why I was so disappointed with how she did Laurens voice. So, Lauren is bi-racial (African American and White). And she is described and educated and from California. So I expected to hear that reflected. Instead, she made her sound like a old country bumpkin. Her voice does not match the authors description of her at all. It was like listening to my grandmother. She is young and beautiful and her voice for her held no youth at all. Being African American, it was a let down. She would have been better off making her sound more like Olivia with a west coast accent. I almost didn't want to listen because I was so disappointed. But I enjoy the series so I toughed it out, but many times I found myself wincing and rolling my eyes because it didn't go together.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Yes, the scene with Deep and the Mother of Life.

If you're looking for a hot, exciting and enjoyable Sci-Fi romance then you can't beat Evangeline Anderson's imaginative world of the Kindred. Her vivid worldbuilding skills are awesome as she paints fictional worlds, hot Alpha Warriors and the feisty women they claim. This time it's Kat's turn and we met her in book 2 as she was struggling to come to terms with her accidental half bonding of the Twin Kindred Warriors Lock and Deep and trying to find a way out of it because it scared the Hell out of her. Lock is the kind, thoughtful and gentle blonde twin who's desperate to keep the bond and Deep is haunted by a past event and it's not allowing him to move on, have patience or bond with Kat because he feels her rejection of him very deeply which has a disastrous effect on all three of them.
There's non-stop action whether it's emotional, drama-filled or sexual as Kat's refusal to bond with them puts her life in danger more than once, takes them to strange destinations until, in the end, all three lives hang by a thread. We get to catch up with well loved characters from the previous books, new characters as the Scurge's evil All Father has finally captured the Earth woman that will fulfill the Prophecy and bear him daughters and we get to learn more about the Twin Warrior's world, beliefs and capabilities. The ménage sex is hinted at at first, then lightly discussed and eventually acted on when everything seems lost. The All Father's confused son is in a lot of scenes as his feelings towards the captured Earth woman slowly come to life. There's humor too from this triple POV listen and I'm in awe at the skilled narrator whose voice and emotions had to change for at least 14 characters (I lost count after that) and she successfully nailed each one.
Worth a credit? A great listen if you like Sci-Fi, the dysfunctional romance was always there bubbling in the background and only finally got resolved towards the end, lots of angst between the three main characters and plenty of life-threatening drama. So, YES a creditworthy listen...... and the secondary plot of war with the Scurge is just heating up ready for the spark that's eventually going to blow the whole thing up.

After listening to the first two on audible I couldn't wait for this one to become available, I devoured it and the other books, up to 15, via digital print. It was great getting to hear the characters again. Looking forward to getting to hear found as well, but really looking forward to when Forgotten comes out in print!

good series but they drag out the story to long. your were listening to two stories at once. they embed the next story into this one from the begging. in my opinion it should have been told towards the end of the story instead of throughout the story. to much angst with the twin kindred. narrator did a decent job. not sure if worth a credit, maybe a book when it's on sale

I received a free copy of the audiobook for an honest review.
Sought is the third book in the Brides of the Kindred series. I had listened to the first 2 books, Claimed and Hunted, about twins Olivia and Sophia, and the warriors who claimed them. Sought is about their best friend, Kat, who is in grave danger unless the twin Kindred, Lock and Deep, can figure out how to help her. Olivia and Sophia also find out that they have a cousin, but she has been kidnapped by the Scourge so they don't know if they'll ever get to know her.
I like the characters in these books. I love the way the Kindred warriors protect the woman they love. Lock and Deep are no different, but Deep and Kat both have issues to overcome and they're both as stubborn as can be.
I don't read a lot of erotic romance but I think these books are great. I like the way Evangeline Anderson incorporates sex into the story. The people who are in love physically need each other. I can't wait for the next audiobook from Evangeline Anderson!
Warning: this is an erotic romance so if you're not comfortable with a lot of sex and sexually explicit language, don't read this book.

This third book in the Brides of the Kindred series focuses on Kat, Lock and Deep...the twin Kindred. I have to say, there were some VERY hot moments in this book, and Kat is a size 18, so it was nice to hear a story about a plus size woman being worshiped.
On Twin Moons, the home world of Lock and Deep the women are tall and slender, pretty much super model like, which is why the rare plus size female sticks out like a sore thumb and catches the eye of every man on the planet. Anyone plus sized is considered an Elite, a near Goddess, and Kat fits the description to the T. She wasn't interested in becoming involved with Deep and Lock but circumstances beyond her control left her in their care. She had to depend on them to help her, or she would die.
Lots of hot 3-way stuff going on, absolutely no male-male stuff. Once again though it appeared the author had two stories to tell about the same three people and I wish the book was shorter. I also wish their was less misunderstandings between the main characters, but still an enjoyable listen.
Great for sale or credit, too much fluff for a buy though.

Okay so Evangeline Anderson has such a fantastic imagination to create a world where the Breed must save earth from the Scourge. This creepy AllFather keeps attacking the breed brides looking for someone to propagate with. In the mean time Kat, brat friend to Her Lucia and Sophia the twin gals who won the heart of half brothers Baird and Sylvan. Now twin bros Lock and Deep also related to the
Baird and Sylvan want Kat with a passion untold. But of course deep acts like Dick and Kat is sent on answers chase for peace. Love the narrator and like the new characters introduced for book 4.
Really interesting story if you ignore the dreadfully cheesy sexual stuff. Cringe worthy. The narrator is awful. Her male voices just do NOT work. Her Deep voice especially when he is talking dirty is about the worst I have heard in a book. This story would have benefitted from a male & female narrator. If you can switch off from the truly dreadful narration, it is actually a good story

The story may have been good - couldn't tell from the sheer awfulness of the narrator, accents bad, woodenly delivered . I don't think this the right genre for the narrator
1 of 1 people found this review helpful
Would you listen to Sought again? Why?
Not sure. The narrator does good female voices but terrible male voices. The book itself is good in parts too. It has emotional power - made me cry at the main crisis point, when the split occurs. Deep is a jerk, but not a heartless one, and he has an interesting backstory. Lock is the mild-mannered diplomat who just adores his lady. The resolution is a bit dea ex machine, but hey, this is sci-if fantasy, so I can buy it. For some reason, the encounter Deep has, and which resolves the plot, was more powerful on the page than read out loud.
The sex was always going to be a tricky area in this set up, and was not entirely successful: the author seems to want it both ways - to make the sex with twin kindred appear incredibly kinky and daring (for humans) and perfectly normal (for twin kindred). That half-works until the twin Deep starts treating it as kinky as well, which makes no sense in the context, and results in some cringe-worthy moments. That said, it is pretty sexy overall and nice to have a plus-size woman as a heroine and sex goddess. The passage on the Twin Moons continent, where the three are made to reenact a Creation Myth, is touching as well as sexy.
What three words best describe Anne Johnstonbrown’s voice?
Can't do men.
