The alien warrior bought me.But he doesn’t want a slave.He wants me as his mate.The brutal scars covering Fynd’s face are nothing compared to the wounds that have festered in his heart. After the bitter, public rejection by his intended mate a long time ago, he doubts any female will wish to become his…so he purchases a small human female named Lucy from a slave market. She’ll bear him a few … market. She’ll bear him a few children and he’ll provide for her in return, but he will not expect her to harbor any amount of affection for him. How could she? He’s a monster.
He wishes she wasn’t so sweet and beautiful. He also wishes his heart didn’t fill with warmth in her presence. She’ll likely never return his affections, but he cannot let her go. Ever. A Vaxxlian warrior always mates for life.
Life hasn’t been easy for Lucy. She prays her next master will be kind, and she’s terrified when the new alien who buys her looks like an angry bull with glowing green eyes. After she attempts escape, she’s certain he’ll punish her severely. Her old master would have. But the alien warrior named Fynd kisses her instead–a shockingly tender kiss that makes her all tingly inside–and she starts to wonder if perhaps there’s more to the unsmiling alien warrior than meets the eye.
There’s a gentleness beneath his hardened exterior, but breaking his defenses down won’t be easy. As far as alien warriors go, he’s as stubborn and proud as they come. Can they both find healing in one another’s arms, or will a new threat tear them apart forever?

Rescued by a gentle soul
This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I loved it! She did a fantastic job of showing us her hero’s alpha side and his sensitive side. He knew Lucy was the mate for him from the beginning. They might have run into a few rough patches, but the love they feel for each other never diminishes. This book has the perfect HEA. I can’t wait to read the rest of the books in the series.

Out of this world! Lol!
Another great Vaxxlian mates story. I thoroughly enjoy these heart-melting, sexy stories. Lucy and Fynd both have scars inside and out. Once they can get past them they will find the happiness they both deserve.
Wow, this is a great story. I liked how Fynd was so torn about his scars and Lucy was just so grateful she did not even notice them. This series is so much fun to read. Looking forward to the next one.
This book is more about two hurt people – a human female slave and a male alien warrior who have been hurt in different ways. They have the opportunity to heal with each other but first they have to recognize the opportunity and the grasp it and not let go. Neither character is what the other expects them to be and so it makes for an interesting read for the reader. Another good book added to this genre.

Some spoilers:
Fynd, another Vaxxlian warrior in Sue Mercury’s series, is tasked, as all the male warriors have also been directed, to find a human female to mate with. He hears about the slave Lucy, whom he arranges to buy. Lucy is hopeful that he will be kinder than her former master and she is understandably frightened to have been purchased by the larger than human sized, battle scarred Fynd. But she discovers that Fynd does not want her as a slave, but as his mate. And she soon learns that Fynd, as a Vaxxlian, has been raised to treat women with respect and gentleness, and to keep them safe at all costs. They grow to know one another and she is able to make contact with her sisters, and even sees that Fynd and his fellow warriors are more than willing to help save her sisters when they are in danger. But will Lucy ever be able to accept the scarred face Fynd as her mate, and will it even matter if he cannot save himself and her sisters when he sets off to do so?

This is a sweet love story about physical and emotional scars. I have not read any of the previous books in this series but I didn’t find that a problem. Both Fynd and Lucy have serious reasons to not trust the other but their spiritual strength is impressive. The book is fairly short and not overly complex but a fun read with some steamy scenes. I would recommend this for a quick, fun read.

Truly heart warming tale of an alien who carry’s his scars as a shield after being rejected years ago and a young human girl trapped in an alien world of slavery. Kynd buys Lucy from a slave trader looking for a human mate believing he is a monster because of his scars that will never know love. Lucy is a human who has never given up hope of finding her sisters and freedom. The two work though all of their issues towards the possibility of a future. Great read, loved Kynds gentleness despite his size and fierceness!
Fynd is just so swoony and *sigh*
This is such a gorgeously sweet yet sexy read. Lucy was spunky and great fun, whilst Fynd, despite being such a damaged hero, was really wonderful. No wonder Lucy couldn’t resist him. This is a nicely written and very enjoyable sci-fi romance.
I would have liked to see more of them forming a connection, it was a little too rushed for my taste. However that’s very much a personal preference and was entirely down to this being more of a novella length book. The writing, pacing and editing are all good and together with two wonderful characters and an interesting plot this is an enjoyable read.
Fynd had given up on finding a mate. After being rejected so publicly for his scars by his fiancee, he didn’t want to take the chance. So he decides to purchase a human female and mate with her and hope that they can be friendly. Lucy prays for a nice master as she huddles in the cage with no clothes. When the huge alien frees her from her prison, she hopes that he is truly nice and not waiting to beat her if she messes up. Can two lonely, hurt people find the other half of themselves in a slavers tent?
This was my first book by Sue Mercury and I was enchanted! I love a wounded hero and Fynd is exactly that. He is a big softie but is torn between his fear of rejection and his attraction to Lucy. It causes Lucy to be apprehensive but she sees him as attractive right from the start, which I love! I simply adored the whole set up of the Vaxxlian warriors needing human female mates to repopulate New Vaxx and the new beginning it brings for Fynd and Lucy. I couldn’t put it down and consumed it in one sitting. I cannot wait to go back and read the first three of this series as I am sure they are equally enjoyable. 5 stars for Alien Brute!
Fast paced and a great story! This is a great story, fast and fun to read. Although Lucy was abused and a slave, she still has a survivors soul. Find is gruff and has a chip on his shoulder but they still manage to fall for each other. It kind of put me in mind of an erotic version of Beauty and the Beast. Cool and cute story, you should add this to your reading list!
Tears! Yes, tears are running down my cheeks, as I read this heart warming, stirring and encouraging, story. This is the fourth book in the series – Vaxxlian Mates and each story is impressive and fantastic. I LOVED Fynd, a Vaxxlian with a scarred face who was rejected and humiliated in public by his first arranged mate. He was filled with regrets, disappointments, face scars and is a fearsome sight. He decides he will buy a slave and make her his mate. She can’t reject him and he wouldn’t be hurt again. Oh, you can feel his pain and his anger, at himself for buying a slave but feeling he has no choice. He buys Lucy who has been a slave since the spaceship, she was traveling in, was attacked by slavers. Fynd is patient, thoughtful and concerned for Lucy and with great concern, he attempts to help her to trust him. He realizes that she was treated very badly for the past five years while in slavery and he wants to help her feel safe and protected. He doubts, she will be able to love him, much less look at his face without horror. Sue Mercury always gives her characters a challenge. Lucy is a brave, human especially when confronted by this BIG, muscled Alien with facial scars. Can she love Fynd? Can she trust again? The story explores learning how to trust and cope with our insecurities, as shown with Fynd and Lucy. Thank you so much for another amazing story, Sue Mercury, Sue Lyndon!
I really enjoyed this romance and about the only negative thing I can say is I wish it had been longer. I liked Fynd and Lucy and loved them as a couple. Fynd completely and totally stole my heart. He was 100% alpha male that was tempered with sweetness and a heart melting softness because of his scars and insecurities. My heart bled for Lucy but she was strong and spunky. I thought this was such a beautiful romance and it touched my heart.
I was gifted with an ARC to review, and man I loved it. This was my first taste of the Vaxxlian warriors and Sue, I loved it. Thanks for an awesome read and the opportunity to review!
This was a fantastic read with fear of the unknown that Lucy has to face, but the fear is something that has been going on for five years since she was kidnapped and sold as a slave at the age of sixteen.
Lucy savour comes in the form of a big strong Vaxxlian warrior who will buy her to be his mate.
Fynd knows that no woman will want him due to the scars on his face, his only option is to buy a human slave.
This was such a wonderful touching story that your heart will break for them both, but you will root for them in the end.
