And now they’ve captured me and the ship I was on.
The galaxy has treated me like garbage.
But the Reaper King that claims me…
He treats me like his princess.
He loves me. He gives me treats.
He takes care of me and protects me.
He shows me more kindness than anyone in the galaxy ever has.
So maybe I belong in this dark world of pirates.
When civilized people are the truly malevolent ones.
With their wars and their deceit.
Maybe the simple violence of the Reaper soul is where I belong.
It’s twisted.
It’s dark.
It’s sick.
But with my Reaper King…it’s home.
Caged Mate explores a much darker and grittier side of the Athenaverse. It can be read as a standalone, but it still shares the same universe that you’ve found in other books. Themes in this book should be approached with caution.

So full of action, Caroline wasn’t the best a heroine could be, but she was who she is. So many twists, action, passion and surprises. Not a fan of cliffhangers, so if you are this book is for you.

Caroline Has Such A Charming Way With Words…
by and1515
Caroline grew up being a discarded child if she had parents they didn’t stick around so she had to figure out how to survive. She’s a talented con artist and there isn’t a place she can’t escape.
The Reapers are a brutal race who are some what crazy an extremely blood thirsty.
But the moment Caroline is discovered hiding she’s truly unleashes her feminine charms an unusual wild ways.
No matter how many times she tells Vishar she not a spy he can’t get it through his thick skull she’s exactly what she’d always claimed to be. Vishar had plenty of different interrogating techniques that leave her breathless and asking for more.

This is the start of a new series from this author and I found the book to be intriguing and it has me interested in following the series. There are numerous dark themes running through this plot and so some possible triggers for some readers. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this, the action, adventure, drama, deceit, frustration and steamy scenes held my attention throughout.

I was so disappointed this ended with a cliffhanger. I have read other books by Athena Storm so I was also surprised where it ended. I was fascinated with Caroline’s character, but disappointed how quickly she let her walls down. Vishar wasn’t as much of a bada** as I expected either. Having sex in front of everyone else just to prove she is his pet? There were parts that were good involving Caroline and her strengths but if the Reapers were that strong, she probably wouldn’t have stayed standing when they hit her. This book just didn’t do it for me.

While these stories all belong to the same Universe, they read as standalones quite well. Each is original with it’s characters and their individual story. They are dark romances, which makes each of them shine brighter in my opinion. Alpha aliens that know what they want and are not afraid to take it.

Wow, so good. Love these characters. Athena Storm has made an amazing universe with many types of aliens. This story is just one example. Try them all!

I really enjoyed this book. The way the story was created and crafted, the action, the plot. All of it. It was a hot, sexy read and I’m looking forward to more dark science fiction with Aliens from this author.

Caroline astounds the Reaper crew while their Captain falls under her spell!
by sewsummore
Caroline was a human slave on the luxury cruise ship Celeste when it was attacked by the Reapers and taken prisoner together with some of the crew and ships passengers. While everyone else had to suffer the cramped cells she was give a cell of her own. Vishar was convinced she was a spy but her story never changed and eventually he had to admit he had been wrong about her, one thing was for sure she tempted him beyond reason and in the end he took her as his sexual pet. By that time she had also gained a certain amount of favor amongst his crew for capturing two escaped female prisoners and on two occasions by shooting other humans and saving their leader’s life not once but twice. Life for Caroline was perfect, she was safe and well cared for, the sex between the Captain and herself was the best she ever had with all her wants supplied. This was an entertaining story that kept me smiling as Caroline both astounds and amazes the reaper crew with her smart comebacks and refusal to back down to threats or intimidation, and their captain falls deeper under her spell.

I’m definitely obsessed with the darker side of the athenaverse. Absolutely loved Caged Mate and the darker romance it explores.

ALL CAGES DON’T HAVE BARS
I received this book for free and am giving my honest and voluntary review
Caroline is a human orphaned con woman who has never been treated as more than an object. Meeting Vishar makes her realize that she has no reason to fear the reapers as she has been through horrendous treatment at the hands of the humans. She has been conditioned to hate her own kind.
Caged Mate by Athena Storm.
They’re the stuff of nightmares.
Aliens so frightening that many people think they’re legends.
But they’re real.
And now they’ve taken me.
You’re in deep trouble if the Reapers find your ship in space.
If they board you, chances are you’ll die.
Most likely they’ll loot your ship.
Take your women.
Sometimes they’ll even eat your heart.
They’re brutes. Pirates. Murderers.
A great read with some great characters. I love the cover too. 4*.

Well worth reading!
This was a real page turner from start to finish.
The plot was dark but still interesting without being
over the top.
The chemistry between the characters was absolutely amazing.

Book one in the Reaper’s Pet series, and it ends on a cliff-hanger just as it is getting to the good part. I want to read the next book, to find out how how Caroline and Vishar escape from the Berserkers. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Black Cat Blackwood has met her match. Being raised from the streets as poor as can be, she used to being to crooked to be straight. One con after another has worked until her last get her caught. As all this is going on she now hides in holes on a ship that she is now basically on house arrest, well not working, the cruise ship that she is on gets attacked. As she’s watching all the killing evolve around her she basically falls in lust with one of the killers as he moves. He is just as agile as she.Can she come on her way out of this one or does she want to con her way out of this one like she’s done so many other times. Nice characters. Very dark and steamy scenes. Enough to wet your noodle and whistle.

I have to give the author credit, the story was engrossing and kept me engaged. She made me root for the bad guy and his criminal girlfriend. Talk about “finding love in all the wrong place”, then to top it all off, with a cliffhanger? Come on, that’s just not right. Overall still a good read.
