He’s a murderer… A monster… up was the only way.
But she had so much to live for, I couldn’t let her do it.
Not as the older sister.
So I stepped in.
And Kator claimed me in her stead.
It’s a different world I’m in now.
Gone are the refugee camps I lived in.
The squalor of the defeated.
I’m in a world of warriors.
I’m surrounded by luxury tinged with death.
Pleasure masked by fear.
Strength mixed with savagery.
Nowadays I have a new role.
Each night, I get my makeover.
Put on the dress he bought me.
And then tend to the needs of the one who calls me Pet.
Alien Savage’s Doll explores a grittier side of the Athenaverse. It sits in the Conquered Mates series and is a dark romance set on a human planet that has fallen to a hostile alien race. It can be read as a standalone, but it still shares the same universe that you’ve found in other books. This book features a dark romance of an alpha male alien warrior, and a human woman. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and HEA guaranteed.

Athena Storm and Tara Starr deliver an entertaining Sci-fi drama with plenty of Action and a fair amount of steamy Romance. This mix of genres does not diminish the quality of story telling. The authors inspire an emotional connection, both positive and negative, with the characters flawlessly.
This Enemies to Lovers story is lead by two main characters that are instantly engaging. Nerys is a strong woman who meets her fears head-on. She is reminiscent of Lt. Nyota Uhura; that is, if Uhura started her career in a Trench Town on a dystopian planet located on the opposite end of the Milky Way. Kator is an Alpha male who adapted a devil-may-care persona in order to survive in a volatile environment. The instant unfathomable attraction between Nerys and Kator continues throughout the book as it builds and evolves.
I am relatively confident this story was released previously. However, I don’t think this is mentioned in the book description. Nonetheless, this didn’t affect my enjoyment, and I believe the book is an expansion of the earlier rendition. I was unable to give the full five star rating to the version I received due to further editing needs.
Ultimately, I recommend this story to those who enjoy both Sci-fi and Romance, but also appreciate a strong combination of the two. The Athenaverse will take readers on a fantastic adventure.
*I received an ARC version of the book for my honest opinion of this tale.*
Loved it. Full of action and suspence. Had to finish. The characters were very well written and the plot was brought out great. Nerys was willing to do anything for her sister, even sell herself……

Kator! Kator! Kator! That should’ve been the mantra for Nerys. You love to hate him and hate to love him but can’t live without him. Nerys needs help getting her sister back and Kator is the Alien Broman to to fight for her. But who is in the shadows who wanted to purchase her in the first place? You’ll never guess. This is one crazy book. I burnt the Digiorno pizza trying to finish a chapter.

This was an amazingly well-written story by one of my favorite authors, Athena Storm. This book 5 in the Conquered Mates Series was intriguing as it had some very well-thought out scenes and story plots. These characters have very strong wills and personalities and their interactions are believable.This wonderful story has the following: intrigue, twists & turns, adventure, action, variety of races, humans, danger, love, steam and a HEA. I am always on the lookout for books by this author.

Okay, this book would definitely qualify as a dark romance but it’s a beautiful one and not in a debasing women kind of way. I LOVED it and the ending was bittersweet. I loved it.

Nerys gives herself over to slavers à la Katniss Everdeen to save her sister, Luci, from a decision that was ill-advised to say the least. The minute he lays eyes on Nerys Kator knows there is something incredibly special about her and also knows she will fetch a high price to his most discerning buyer but as he spends more time with her he realises that she is someone that he can not bear to part with but that decision may just cost both of them far more than they bargained for especially when the plans of the man who intended to purchase Nerys, Kator’s brother, come to light. As always fantastic and interesting characters and a plot that is well-written and keeps you glued to the pages from start to finish.
I really loved this book. It’s SFR. It’s dark. It’s gritty. It’s hot! I recommend this book as a good read to anyone who likes those topics. I look forward to more in this series.

Another good story from the Athenaverse on Luvon. Nerys takes her sister’s place from being sold to the Kraaj, Kator. This story is dark with intrigue with the council member Opak, there is a battle and romance.

What could cause someone to grow to be a heartless slaver, and what could drive someone to risk their lives to complete a mission for someone who intends to sell her off?
Two dominant personalities, one who is doing good and one who is doing bad, come head to head, but in a way that ‘finding true love’ doesn’t fundamentally change who they are as a person, but rather, helps put situations in perspective to drive them to make different choices. They both appreciate the others dominant personality, and neither makes a move to change it.
There were a few twists, as well as the revelation of something truly horrible that is going on in secret under everyone’s noses… followed up by even bigger revelations built on top of that! This was an engrossing story, and one where the penultimate scene isn’t just exciting, but is properly just a small step in a much bigger struggle.

Brave and smart Nerys would sacrifice herself for her sister because that’s what love means but she didn’t expect what she got in exchange. The adventure of her life! And with whom was supposed to be a scary and violent Kraaj that resulted to be her protector, her forever. Kator had done all sort of things, none had been good or in law, but he had made a profit so, he had no regrets. The woman had to be a witch because it was the only reason why he felt lured, enchanted and decided to get involved in a matter he feared would be a mistake that would leave him vulnerable. But the passion and the strong emotions they were feeling was worth it. Little by little motives behind the deceit and the true threat were known. The struggle for power was escalating and all was wrong. Kept my attention the interesting plot development with the intrigue and deceit the protagonists were facing. Interesting and entertaining Kator and Kavan’s strategies that kept me following the action with so much suspense. Nerys and Kator were strong and smart characters with a powerful chemistry that suggested…mates?
Nerys and her sister Luci are struggling to survive in war torn Luvon. As always happens in desperate areas, there is always some slime ball making a profit from other peoples desperation. Anthon, is “gathering” young women and selling them to the illegal slaver’s market. Luci decides to sell herself to Anthon so that her sister will have an easier life and better chance of survival.
Kator is a “business man” in the black market. He will transport anything to anywhere for the right price! He arrives in Luvon to pick up his next batch of “slaves” to be transported to the auction houses. When he arrives and is inspecting the women, Nerys bursts in and attempts to rescue Luci only to find out it’s too late. So instead she offers herself in Luci’s place. Kator is immediately drawn to Nerys, although he refuses to admit it. The sale is concluded and his “merchandise” is loaded into his ship and ready for transport. He sends all of the women off to the market, except Nerys, who he has a special buyer for. The buyer is quite happy with Nerys and agree’s to pay the outrageous price Kator is asking. But he also has another job for Kator while he is on Luvon. He wants some espionage files stolen that would expose just how evil he is to the Coalition, IHC and the Alliance. He wants to be the Emperor of the whole universe! Kator needs Nerys help to retrieve the files so they stay on Luvon longer. As they work together they fall in love. Kator must then figure out how to keep Nerys and stop the buyer from destroying the universe. Another great book!!
Nerys is a human refugee scraping by on her home world after it’s conquered by aliens. In order to save her sister, she offers herself in trade to the big silver alien mobster, Kator. Imagine her surprise when she finds herself falling in love with her gruff master. Add in a healthy serving of interstellar war, intrigue and arch enemies and you have an edge of your seat read.
This was an awesome read! It more than surpassed my expectations and they were already high. I Love Alien stories and I Love Athena Storm stories and I totally loved this story. If you Love Hot Alpha Alien romance stories than this is a must read book for you! I can’t wait for the next one. A must read for any fan!!!
