Publisher's summary

The beast protects us, but he demands tribute.

I was not asked. I was chosen. Every year, the creature who keeps our community safe requires a virgin as tribute, and every year, she is thoroughly ravaged and then returned ruined for any other man. No one will tell me exactly what is in store for me; I only know he's not going to be gentle.

But the elders underestimated me, and when they left me in the sacred clearing, I took the chance to escape. Now, the beast hunts me, and if he finds me, I can only wonder what he'll do to me....

Publisher's Note: Virgin Tribute includes spankings and rough, intense sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don't listen to this audiobook.

Wonderfully sexy and sweet

This was a really sexy but sweet listen. Story was well paced and kept interest. Narration was superbly done. Thanks.

Reagan and Drake

Reagan is the next virgin tribute/concubine for the beast aka protector aka Drake, who protects the people in Sanctuary from the mutants. She is a strong willed feisty young woman who fought elders for choosing her. They gave her a humiliating examination in preparation for the beast to give him a baby. She tried to escape but the beast caught her. He was very rough with her and made her beg him to pleasure her and spank her. He only saw her as a tribute and concubine and reminded her of this often. I like alpha males, but he was too much. At times, I could not stand him and was hoping she would knock him out. This book did not strike me as romance until near the end, although I guess it was developing. By the end of the book, I wanted it to continue longer to find out how Reagan and Drake handle life in the new world he helped create and what happened to the people in Sanctuary. Nikki Monroe did a great job with the narration. I received this free copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Dangerous Post Apocalyptic World

Nikki Monroe is a new narrator to me. I thought that she did an excellent job of conveying the emotions and personalities of these characters to the listener.. She is an amazing storyteller whom I will be happy to listen to again.

In this futuristic world mutants are dangerous and people barter for goods and protection. One town offers a virgin tribute to the Beast every year. If she doesn't get pregnant, she is returned and a new one takes her place. It's Reagan's turn this year, but she is rebellious, strong willed, feisty, and brave. Not exactly submissive material, but the town is happy to see her go. Drake, the Beast, is intrigued by Reagan's spirit. Drake is definitely the strong alpha " you do what I say" man. However, it's entertaining to watch how these two change over the course of the story. If you don't like erotic sexy books with abundant spankings then you need to pass on this book. I highly recommend this Audible book.

Perfect Reading

Nikki does a great job reading this story. Brings the story and it's characters to life.

Awesome 👏🏻 Post Apocalyptic Story

Great storyline and lots of 🌶️ Plus, the ending was very satisfying. The protector was the perfect alpha with brains to boot!

Virgin and the Mutant/Human

If sex and lots of it is not for you, then this is not the book for you. It is involving breeding and sexy times. I thought it was a fresh storyline. The protector of the community after a mutation has almost killed of the population requires a virgin as tribute and his goal is to procreate. I loved the heroine as she is sassy and strong. Drake the protector is hot hot hot. Nikki Monroe does a great job. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Post Apocalyptic view

This book is a post apocalyptic view of what has occurred to make mankind hind inside a sanctuary guarded by a beast. A beast who demands a virgin tribute each year for said protection.

Reagan is the chosen tribute for Drake. She sassy, smart mouthed and not welling to be taken without a fight.

Loved that she tried to get away even knowing that there were creatures that may get her in her plans to get away from the beast. Yet she doesn’t realize how Drake would react to her defiance. Seriously sexy times in this audiobook.

Nikki Monroe delivers a great performance of these two and their acceptance of one another and their instant attraction to one another.

Nice look into an apocalyptic world of the future by Delta James with a sexy alpha beast and the woman who comes to hold his heart.

I received this audiobook at my request and this is my honest opinion.

Very Dark stand alone

Virgin Tribute takes place in a post-genetic mutation world. Raegen is chosen a that virgin tribute if the year for the protector. This audiobook is really intense and dark. Nikki Monroe narration was good.

Cringey breeder romance

The genres listed included gothic and sci-fi, so I was expecting Beauty and the Beast meets Frankenstein, maybe with some steampunk. But there is zero gothic and only enough sci-fi to attempt to justify the sex. This is instead a post apocalyptic Seattle, where a kink loving mutant uses and discards girls … and where an entire enclave of humans helps him, not to mention participate in groping and degrading the “tributes” before offering them up.

This could still have provided a sexy story, but the dialogue and plots are horrible. He is a Neanderthal and she is a TSTL girl who repeatedly places herself in danger. Oh, and she’s insta-lusting and begging for his dom-douchery within seconds of meeting him. And again. And again. So many ruttings where he makes her beg for his “turgid” member and recite her words of praise as his “tribute and concubine.” And spankings turning her on, of course. And the constant talk about putting a baby in her womb. Gag me.

Better written post apocalyptic or sci-fi romance includes:
Rightfully Shared by Aurora Caine & Nova (novella set post-apocalypse, with better altered men)
Fall by Claire Kent (novella that goes sci-fi and also Neanderthal)
Outlaws trilogy by Elle Kennedy (full length books with post-apocalypse plot and dom/sub shenanigans)
Beyond series by Kit Rocha (full length books with post-apocalypse plot and maximum dom kink)
