For an ordinary twenty-two-year-old college student like Lana, the idea of being kidnapped from Earth by aliens would have sounded absurd… until the day it happened. As Lana quickly discovers, however, her abduction is not even the most alarming part of her situation. To her shock, she soon learns that she is to be stripped naked and sold as a slave to the highest bidder.When she resists the … resists the intimate, deeply humiliating procedures necessary to prepare her for the auction, Lana merely earns herself a long, hard, bare-bottom spanking, but her passionate defiance catches the attention of her captor and results in a change in his plans. Instead of being sold, Lana will be given as a gift to Dante, the region’s powerful king.
Dante makes it abundantly clear that he will expect absolute obedience and that any misbehavior will be dealt with sternly, yet in spite of everything Lana cannot help feeling safe and cared for in the handsome ruler’s arms. Even when Dante’s punishments leave her with flaming cheeks and a bottom sore from more than just a spanking, it only sets her desire for him burning hotter.
But though Dante’s dominant lovemaking brings her pleasure beyond anything she ever imagined, Lana fears she may never be more than a plaything to him, and her fears soon lead to rebellion. When an escape attempt goes awry and she is captured by Dante’s most dangerous enemy, she is left to wonder if her master cares for her enough to come to her rescue. Will the king risk everything to reclaim what is his, and if he does bring his human girl home safe and sound, can he find a way to teach Lana once and for all that she belongs to him completely?
Publisher’s Note: A Gift for the King is the first book of the Terranovum Brides series. It includes spankings and sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

Book #1, Terranovum Brides Trilogy. This is a wonderful sci-fi/paranormal/erotic romance that is simply “out of this world!”
Terranovum is a planet filled with great beauty, wonder, and true magic! But nothing is ever perfect, regardless of how wondrous it might seem. When native women from Terranovum give birth to female children, those females are infertile. As a result, the Terranovans got creative long ago. Their solution? Kidnap females from Earth to keep Terranovum’s population stable and thriving. The Earth females are trained and auctioned as slaves. Some are fortunate enough to earn a place in Terranovan society as wives. And some are endowed with very special and extraordinary powers, the likes of which could never be imagined on Earth! Lana’s been taken from Earth. She soon realizes there’s no way to return, and her life will never be the same. That she’s immediately taken to Dante, the king of Legeari, without explanation is beyond frightening. That she’s expected to submit to him in every way, and undergo punishment if she doesn’t immediately obey, is beyond comprehension. How does a smart, accomplished, independent woman from Earth learn to live in such a male-dominated society, especially when she doesn’t know the rules? Why has she been taken to the king so soon after her arrival? She’s nothing special. What does King Dante really want with her? Dante has his own secrets and a major set of problems. He rules Legeari, which is only a portion of the planet. Terranovum has seen more than its fair share of civil wars and strife over the centuries, but the evil that now faces Dante and the people of Terranovum is beyond monstrous in its intent and power. And while it seems that Lana has caught Dante’s eye because she’s beautiful, accomplished, intelligent, and all too willful, there’s yet another reason for his fascination with her. But what is it that draws Dante to Lana like a moth to the flame? Dark and totally unexpected events soon unfold that put Dante, Lana, the friends, advisers, and people closest to the king, and the entire kingdom of Legeari in danger from the blackest of evils. What can be done to stop the source of evil that wants to utterly destroy not only Dante and his kingdom but also to bring down everything good that exists on Terranovum? Is it even possible for Dante to save his people and protect the planet? Where does Lana fit into all of this? She’s just a slave. What can she do to save not only Dante and his closest friends and advisers, but also help protect Legeari and all of Terranovum itself?
Sara Fields is another of my favorite authors. Her writing is delightfully creative and inventive. She has the very real ability to combine elements of sci-fi, paranormal, and erotic romance into a tapestry of incredible depth and wonder. This first book in the Terranovum Brides Trilogy sets the tone for the entire series. The combination of action, adventure, magic, good, evil, and romance are uniquely and deliciously enchanting. Once again, Ms. Fields has created a story that shows her mastery of this genre. I was captivated from beginning to end, and can’t wait to read the next book in the series. I give A Gift for the King my very highest recommendation. Thank you, Sara Fields, for giving us such an amazingly wonderful story. This book is exceptional, and you’re truly an impressive author!
One final note. Please be an informed reader and consumer! This is an ADULT book. It contains explicit language and sexual scenes. If you don’t enjoy this genre, think hard before buying any book you know you won’t enjoy. There are book synopses and reviews available on Goodreads and all booksellers’ websites. USE THESE RESOURCES. DON’T LEAVE A NEGATIVE REVIEW WHEN YOU KNOW YOU WON’T ENJOY THE BOOK. IT’S NOT FAIR TO THE AUTHOR! She works extremely hard to provide a quality work product. If you know you’ll object to the book’s subject matter before you buy it, you’re doing yourself and the author an extreme disservice.
Thanks for reading my review and happy reading!
Grab and snatch
This story was fun and panty wetting. I’d listen to it again.
Now as to the narrative… This would have been a lot better with a female voice for the female parts. The narrator just didn’t do a very good job with the feminine voices. Since it’s primarily from the female point of view, it was a bit off putting.
This book was given to me for free at my request from the publisher or author or narrator and I provided this unbiased voluntary review.
I gotta say that A Gift for the King is an incredible adventure that left me wanting more! I could totally see this book becoming a movie! It’s packed with action and adventure! An evil king, a wonderful guard ‘dog’, a human girl who changes everything… yea… total movie worthy story!
Now, I gotta mention that there is spanking in this story and the author did a wonderful job of portraying the different levels of spanking and boy did the pages sizzle. I must admit I have mixed feelings for Dante but he is one hot sexy evil king! I loved this story and I can’t wait to see what else the author has in store for us!
This is my favorite Sara Fields book to date. It has a phenomenal scifi story. i can’t wait to read more of this series.
It felt really imature, like why would anyone entire culture be obsessed with Spanking? Was an OK book, but could definitely use some work.
