A nine-foot-tall alien warrior just kidnapped me.How’s your day going?Diana is a survivor. It’s all she knows. But she has big plans once she escapes the dangerous outpost where she’s been stranded for the last ten years. Plans that involve buying a ship of her very own and traveling to a sparsely populated planet to live out the rest of her days in the sun. No more crowds, no more recirculated … no more recirculated air, and no more cage fights. She certainly doesn’t plan on being “rescued” by a sexy alien giant with glowing green eyes who wants to make babies with her.
Kirn is enchanted by the fierce little human he’s stolen away from the outpost. Ah, what a beauty she is–and strong. She resists his advances at first, but he’s confident she will agree to become his mate soon. He’s a highly respected Vaxxlian warrior. How could she not want him? Mindful of his enormous size, he promises to be as gentle as possible when he finally mates with her. But as he’s about to discover, claiming a human female never goes as planned.

Diana might not love the life she’s living, but she’s got plans for a better future and that future is almost within her grasp. Enter Kirn… He sees this small female and decides that not only does she need saving, he’s the one to do it. One of my favorite things about this story is the way that Diana is the strong, stubborn, broken one and Kirn is the gentle, loving, patient one. He is more than ready to devote his whole world to loving her, but she has a lot of walls put up to protect her. They are going to have to break down those walls to reach their HEA, and what neither of them know is that the past is trying to catch up to them in a not so pleasant way.
I really liked the hero in this boot what a sweet sweet romantic man
A good, quick read.
I will admit that at first, it was hard to imagine even an above average woman with a nine foot tall man. After awhile, it became easier and easier to visualize considering her barely let her walk lol
Kirn and Diana were an interesting match up. I enjoyed reading their stories and am looking forward to reading about Kirns 2 other brothers.
Happy reading!

So unbelievable. A female cage fighter killing opponents without a weapon? Really? Okay, sure, if you say so. Unbelievability aside the characters are actually very likable and the ending was sweet. Enjoy.
***I decided to review an ARC of this book.***
Book three in the Vaxxlian Mates series is well written and a story that held my interest from the first to the last page. Diana a human gets stolen from the outpost she is on by Vaxxlian warrior Kirn I had to laugh at this part. There is suspense, drama, danger, kidnapping, a villain, and romance.

This is story about Diana who has had a difficult life, but she is a survivor. Faced with either being a prostitute or a cage fighter in order to exist on the outpost where she is stranded, she chooses cage fighter and becomes quite successful at it. She is frugally saving up credits she earns by fighting so she can move to a beautiful and peaceful planet. As she is once again about to defeat another opponent, Kirn, the alien giant, appears to rescue her thinking her life is in danger. He also claims her as his mate. She of course is furious at first since she does not need to be rescued, and feels she is being kidnapped instead. She quickly warms to the handsome kind giant, and begins to think that maybe she would like to be his mate. Just when she agrees to that, they are both captured by bounty hunters hired by the man she used to cage fight for. The story is quite exciting from this point on as the two new lovers fight for their lives and their freedom.

Wow! The stories in this series do NOT disappoint! Kirn is 9 ft. tall, a highly regarded Vaxxlian warrior, fierce, and a HOT, Sexy body. Diana is a very capable fighter, strong and has the spirit and bravery of great warriors. Kirn is totally in awe of this little human and wants to protect her, take her as his mate and keep her safe. Oops, the problem with his plan is that Diana has been surviving on this outpost planet where she has been trapped for 10 years, on her own and has her own escape plan. LOL Sue Lyndon is an amazing writer. Her stories are well written and her characters have depth. She shows us how gentle, kind and caring Kirn is when considering Diana and her feelings and fears. He is very understanding and approaches her with care that is so touching. I love reading about this couple and how they help each other heal. Kirn vows to protect, care and provide for his mate – Diana but also, he is a fierce, rampaging Giant if his mate is in trouble.
In the Vaxxlian Mates, Kirn is brother 3 of 5 Vaxxlian brothers that we have met so far. Deza and Stax (brothers #1 and #2) and their mates make an appearance in this story and we learn more about them and realize there is more to come. The epilogue gives us a nice glimpse of future stories. Thank you, Sue Lyndon
Gentle Giant looking for a mate & ultimately love
I’m really liking the Vaxxlian Mate stories. The men are so wonderful & caring. Not to mention a vibrating tongue. Oh, boy!
After being stranded on an outpost planet 10 years ago, Diana cage fights to hopefully be able to gain her freedom one day. It was either that or work in the brothels. She’d much rather fight to the death than that. Kirn is a Vaxxlian warrior searching for a human female mate when one of the detection probes alerts him to her presence. Kirn ‘saves’ Diana from the cage fight but to his dismay she does not go so easily. Once things settle down Diana can’t believe how safe she feels with Kirn even though he keeps calling her his mate as they barely know each other. This is a romantic story of the two finding something to fight for…peace, safety and love.
Kirn is the gentle giant of my dreams. Protective, loving, sweet and vulnerable but not afraid to kick some serious a$$ to keep Diana safe. A great addition to the series but can be read as a standalone.
This is now my favorite story in this series. I just adored Kirn and Diana. This couple is so perfect for each other. The ending was fabulous and really brings the whole story together. This series is so much fun to read.
I really enjoyed reading this book. I loved the story and honestly could not put it down. The only thing I had trouble with is that the giant race was supposed to be advanced but Kirn’s voice gives the impression that he is not very intelligent. Overall it is well worth reading.

There was a lot to like about this book. It is short but the storyline was fun, the characters likable and the chemistry steamy. I thought Diana and Kirn’s story was quite charming. Diana, was no passive heroine. She was strong, smart, determined and a fighter. Kirn was a study in contrasts. He was a powerful warrior, big and strong but I thought that there was a whole lot of sweetness, wonder and an almost “air of innocence” about him. I really, really liked this couple and wish that their romance had been longer and more detailed.
Diana was a human who had been forced to cage fight to survive, while Kirn was a huge Vaxxlian warrior looking for a mate. This is the third book in this series and all cute, quick, and steamy with warfare mixed in.

This was a nice, fairly quick read. I’ve read this author before and I always enjoy the stories and worlds she creates.
Her heroines are usually pretty strong and independent. And her heroes are usually big and strong. Tho this hero is definitely a huge one! 9 feet tall! I’m not going to lie I sometimes had to stop and think of the 2 characters height difference! Lol
Overall tho if you like aliens, and romance, thrown in with a bit of adventure. Then this is the book for you!
An easy to read, romantic and steamy sci-fi romance
This book describes itself as a sweet, steamy romance and that’s exactly what it is. It’s well written and fast paced, with two very likeable characters in Diana and Kirn. Personally I’m not a fan of instalove (which this is) and would have liked to see them spend more time together prior to arriving on New Vaxx. I know we were told of conversations they had but experiencing them would have better convinced me of their connection.
Alien Giant is a low angst read, where any problems faced are quickly and easily solved. Having just read several dark and twisty books, this was the perfect antidote. A palate cleanser of the first order, that wraps you in a warm hug and leaves you feeling content. It’s a fun read and a perfect piece of escapism.
As a sci-fi fan there were times when I wanted more world building, more challenge for the hero and heroine. BUT the book never claimed to have that, so I haven’t let that affect my rating. In fact I believe those type of books are written under the authors other pen name of Sue Lyndon, and I look forward to reading more work by both pen names.
Alien Giant is the third book in the Vaxxlian Mates series. Diana is just a couple of cage fights away from winning her freedom, but right in the middle of her latest match, the largest alien she’s ever seen breaks in and steals her away. Kirn knows that as soon as he sees the fighting human, she’s meant to be his mate, but can he convince her to stay with him and will her past leave her alone?
I really enjoyed reading this book! Diana and Kirn were full of building trust, building a relationship, and building love! Even though this is the third book in the series, you don’t need to have read the previous books to understand what was going on with this book. Diana was so brave and full of partial dreams, just wanting her freedom from fighting and killing, and I loved that her time in the cage fights never jaded her heart. I loved Kirn, though! He was such a gentle giant, just wanting to settle down and enjoy time spent with his mate! I loved how he had this drive to protect his mate, wanting to keep her happy and safe! Together, they made a great team, and I loved how they fought together to overcome her past! This book made me feel so happy and content while reading it and I just really loved these two characters!
