Senator Rylos bought me. But he’ll never make me his.I’ll admit those are strong words for a woman who trembles at his touch. But I can’t help it. His kind are as beautiful as they are cruel.We crashed onto his planet ten years after we fled Earth. Instead of helping us, they imprisoned us, then sold us off to the highest bidder.I was the last human sold. Too much bad behavior. Yet Rylos dared to … human sold. Too much bad behavior. Yet Rylos dared to buy me and call me his pet.
He might be genetically engineered perfection on the outside, but I won’t let him have me, no matter how hard it is to resist him. Because my goal is to escape.
I keep telling myself it’ll be easy. Why does it feel like I’m lying?

This book was a delight. I listened to it on Audible, and I loved it. Marion is a strong character, and the story line was interesting. I felt eager to listen to this book every time I was forced to put it down. I really enjoyed Rylos. He was confident and eager to learn about Marion and her people. A sweet man. It wasn’t insta-love, and they had many problems to work through, like the treatment of humans on the planet and learning more about each other. The ending was perfect for the book, and I’m happy to hear they are working on relations between the humans and the aliens.
I look forward to listening to the other books in the series.

This was my first Avery Rae’s book. I love her writing! This is the first book in the Korystus Aliens Series. This sci-fi romance is well written, well developed and interesting. The main characters, Senator Rylos and Marion, are great together and they share a strong chemistry. The sceneries on the Korystus planet are beautifully described. The story kept my attention from the first page to the end, and I love the HEA. I’d love to listen to the next book in the Series. Meghan Kelly has a soft voice, easy to listen. She’s done a great job with all the characters. I love her male voice! I enjoyed my listening. I received this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.
This is the beginning of a new series and I’m intrigued. The characters were well written and their actions were believable, the love scenes were hot, and the world building was detailed enough for me to picture it in my head. The reason for 4 stars vs 5 is all of the questions I still have about the galaxy as a whole and how all the species fit into it. I’m sure more info on the reason the Korystus are so cruel, other than the obvious, will be explained as the series continues. These things are just enough to keep me wanting more.
Marion and thousands of humans have been imprisoned on the planet KORYSTUS. When the ship they were in crashed on the planet they killed thousands of Korystians. For a year Marion has made it a point of trying to escape and doing as much as she could to get her form of revenge on them. Then one day she;s bought by a senator, Rylos. He places a bracelet on her and tells her that she won;t be able to leave his residence without him with the bracelet on. He takes her to his work the next day where she finally learns what occurred on the day the ship crash landed. In doing so she causes a minor upheaval at the meeting. As she fights for her freedom she finds herself drawn to him. Then one day Rylos;s brother arrives and the next he kidnaps her. Now Marion must put her honed skills for escape into overdrive.
Fantastic story and deep in depth focus on the political workings of an alien planet. Be prepared to become angry and upset at the situation but cheering when things start to become better.

The good storyline and well detailed characters caught my attention from the very first page and I was totally hooked until the turn of the very last page!
The start of a new series called Korystus Aliens and I know I want to read the next book this is a well-written story that once I started reading I was not putting down until I had finished reading the book. This is Senator Rylos and human Marion’s story there is suspense, drama, danger and two peoples who do not trust or get along with each other.

Crashed on a planet and taken prisoner, Marion fought to keep her dignity and refused to give in to Senator Rylos but is that what she really wanted? If you are a fan of sci fi romance, you will love this drama filled fast pace story. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
