Listen to The Kindred Warrior's Captive Bride to find out!

Needrix is a Kindred warrior with a tragic past. After losing his pregnant mate during childbirth, he has sworn never to even look at another female again. So he tells himself to ignore the auction going on where a lovely young woman is being sold. But when Need's disgusting crewmate, a three-headed Trollox called Drung, starts bidding on her, he knows he can't abandon her to such a cruel fate. Need buys the hapless girl, swearing he won't fall in love with her and planning to get rid of her as soon as possible.

Lan'ara is a graduate of the elite Twyleth Tigg Academy - a finishing school where beautiful young ladies of good breeding are trained to be the wives and concubines of the richest and most influential men in the galaxy. But on graduation night, the school was raided by a band of pirates who stole her away and auctioned her off. Now she finds herself the property of a surly Kindred warrior who has vowed never to touch or love her. He even promises to bring her back to the man who bought her contract in the first place. So her life should be back on track, right? Wrong.

Neither Lan'ara or Need knows that she has been injected with the Lust Bacterium, a compound that causes her to need his touch. As her touch cravings grow stronger, Lan'ara finds herself turning to the big Kindred more and more. And Need finds it harder and harder to resist falling for the beautiful female he has rescued. But Drung the Trollox still wants her for his own.

Unbelievably Stupid

This would have been a great storyline had Lannara not been so stupid. Could not fathom anyone being as stupid as this character. It was quite a interesting story; always love the Kindred warrior, especially when he goes into rage. Narrator does a great job with characters.

The passion

I loved the passion and love building, even to the knowing heartbreak to heal what was broken.

Afraid to Love

Kindred warrior’s mate died and he survived from the broken bond, but vowed he would never take another mate. Passing through a bazaar, he found a woman slave being auctioned and saved her from one of his shipmates. This story involves the two males and the woman. Interesting story revealing past experiences of the characters and emotions. Good narrative.

the lead characters, traditional roles.

The lead character roles were traditional their relationship was very well written, nice ending.

Did She Forgive Too Easily?

I enjoyed listening to Captive Bride, but it nagged at me that she might have forgiven him too easily. She had really bad things happen because of her Kindred; a nasty three-headed monster or an old guy. But maybe she is just a better woman than I am. There were lots of emotional twists and turns throughout this book and there were many times when I didn’t know what was going to happen. This audiobook was darker than the other Kindred books but it was an enjoyable listen.

I can recommend this audio to anyone who enjoys science fiction romance and Evangeline Anderson’s books. The narration by Mackenzie Cartwright was also good.
