The Alion King

By: Milly Taiden

Narrated by: Lauren Sweet

Length: 3 hrs and 28 mins

Publisher's Summary

Isabella Barca is great at organizing - not so great at keeping her nose out of trouble. When Bella goes to work as Mrs. Wilder's assistant, the opportunity of a lifetime pops up: travel with Gerri to another planet, a shifter planet, and help Gerri find a lion king his mate.

Alyx Treyvaal isn't known for being patient. A lion doesn't ask for help. A lion doesn't apologize. And he most certainly does not purr. But once he meets Bella, he finds himself doing all of the above... except for purring. He will not purr.

With wolves stirring all kinds of trouble for them and a cousin who would like to shred Bella to ribbons, things are not simple for the couple. Not at all. One thing's for sure, when his mate is taken and threatened, the entire planet will hear the alion king's roar.

An interesting new angle

I am not sure how I feel about this turn of events. This went from a shifter dating agency series to something with a more sci-fi alien angle. I am still processing that change. It seems an odd jump, with the exception of Gerri, it is different kind of premise. I will have to keep moving forward with the series to see if I like the change. Right now, it is a bit jarring to switch gears.

I can tell you that the girl hasn’t changed, in tried and true Milly fashion she is a curvy gal with lots of sass. Do not get me wrong, I like that type of gal, in fact they are my favorite heroines, the issues is they all feel the same in this series. I would just like a little change up other than a new name and job.
Bella and Alyx steam things up right away, boy howdy do they bring the steam!! Ya gotta love a shifter read cause they get to the smexy quicker, it is the whole mate angle. This is a scorcher with detail a plenty!! Get the ice cream, cold shower and snuggle buddy ready!!

I listened to the audiobook, Lauren Sweet is once again the narrator. I have said I the past how much I enjoy her read and swift pace. She never disappoints! I barely have to speed up the read because is pace is so brisk.

This new work holds much promise, and I already see the next two books heroes. It will be interesting to see how this new turn plays out in the series.

His Queen and her Lion King

This is the 6 book in the series. I started with book one and have worked my way up. Oh, don’t worry this book works fine as a standalone, but I have not wanted to miss a thing. Previous characters from the previous book will be mention but it will not cause you to be lost if you have not read the previous books.

I used the whispersync with this story. I enjoy the narrator but there was a couple of times where a word would be added or taken away and also a time a word would be changed. There was also a time where the there was something should of been edited out like when the narrator stated she had no sound. But all in all I loved the narrator. I think she is a perfect pick for this series.

Isabella aka Bella is super funny. I just loved her. She has been hired as Gerri Wilder’s assistant. I loved when she tried to hide the talking tablet. Super funny.

Bella will get an opportunity of a life time. How super exciting to get the opportunity to travel to another planet. It had to be slightly scary as well not knowing what to expect.

Alyx Treyvaal was a lion shifter and he was King. Alyx was over confident and very prideful. He thought he could do things on his own. It was almost funny that he had to have his right hand man to contact Gerri Wilder. That had to really hurt Alyx’s pride.

I love the game Alyx played when he first met Bella. He saw her true beauty. The thing I love about Bella is that even though she was outspoken she has a good heart.

Oh I hated Nadeeya. She was Alyx cousin. She was self centered, hateful, power hungry, and pure evil (at least in my eyes). She will go to great lengths to get her cousin and to keep Bella from getting in the way. Yeah she was truly something.

There are a few surprises along the way and Alyx will learn a few lessons as well. There is a great love that will bloom and I have to tell you the journey is amazing.

PDA is Out of this World!!

Oh snap, we are in a different world!! Just when I thought Milly was only going to give me a new animal, she goes and provides a little more history about Gerri and takes me to a new world! Yes, yes, YES!! I loved these new aspects and I can't wait to see all the new possibilities. This stubborn King Alyx doesn't want any of the women he has met in the past nor does he want to be told who he should take as a mate. Isabella is Gerri's new assistant that goes along to meet with this stubborn king.

This specific video review will be included in the August 2018 wrap-up.

Recommend!

What can I say that I haven't already said about this series? Just grab it you'll like it!

A Hot Romance!

This one surprised me, almost didn’t listen to it because it’s a sci-fi, however, it was great. The narrator is getting better or I’m getting more used to her inflections. Would recommend it.

Great story Bad Narration

I like the story but the narrators voice does not match the characters personalities. The voice is annoying.

like them all

so far I have liked all these stories!!! hoping one day for a longer book tho!!!

Milly Taiden's Paranormal Dating Agency Series...

I absolutely love this Series and this Book is on of my Favorite. I have read them all and just purchased them on audio when I found that they had been done into audio books; however, I prefer to read along with the narrator and truthfully this narrator's voice is kind of like nails on a chalkboard. Especially when she reads the women's parts. When she read a man's part, she tends to leave the whining out of her voice. However I bought the whole series and still plan to listen to all of them in it. I do recommend Ms. Taiden talking with her narrator or perhaps finding another to narrate her books. I personally prefer listening to a man when it comes to my erotic books; but for some reason most female authors seem to pick woman to narrate their books, which is kind of strange to me, since woman are mostly reading them to find that excitement they are wanting, and since they are a man and woman romance, I want to her a man so it ups the excitement. I know I just love to hear David Brenin narrate. He has one Sexy Voice and he knows how to pull you into the characters and the excitement of the situation. Trust me, just listen to him in "The Alliance Series" and "The Valdier Dragon Series" that are both by S E Smith.

Shiting further than planned.
