His Human CaptiveJessAfter a nasty breakup, I was determined to make some changes in my life. But when I volunteered for a diplomatic mission to the planet Arythios, I never expected to wake up naked hurtling through space on a grim alien warship. Given away by my country as a sex toy for its stern commander.He’s huge and gray, and even more of a Dom than my old boyfriend was. I hate being his … was. I hate being his captive—but my body loves the things he does to me.
My world is gone…
Mantsk
We were far from home when we found out our planet Arythios had been attacked. By the time we learned of the invasion, it was too late. Men, women, children…all murdered. The only members of my race to survive were my crew and those on a handful of other vessels fortunate enough to have been away as well.
Our requests for refuge and help from the Interstellar Federation were ignored or refused, except for an offer from the leaders of Earth to send sex slaves to my crew. Though I was furious at the casual insult, I accepted. I had no choice. The females they sent will have to be more than bodies my men can use. They will have to save our race from extinction.
Ravished>
Dylos
Though I’m still grieving the loss of my mate, it’s my duty to claim one of these primitive aliens as my own. Mate with her and produce offspring to save our race from extinction. To my dismay, the alien female I’ve chosen is stubborn and defiant, often in need of stern punishment. I’ve tried to keep her at a distance, but her virginal innocence stirs my loins, awakening a savage hunger I thought was as dead as my world.
And her beautiful soul has touched my heart.
Trina
I woke up on an alien warship staring into the eyes of a hulking gray-skinned warrior who says I’m now his property. He’s ordered me to call him Master and obey his every command. When I don’t, he punishes me.
He can be kind, too—and he makes me feel things I’ve never felt before. But he’s an alien from another world. How can someone so wrong be the right one for me?
Tamed
Joran
I command an elite team of warriors. Lead them into combat, conquer my enemies. How can one human female be so hard to tame?
Homeless, hopeless, we begged the Interstellar Federation to help us track down and vanquish our enemies. They ignored our request. Instead, they sent us a handful of females from a primitive planet called Earth. “To see to the needs of your troops,” their ruler said.
I was ordered to choose one of the aliens. Breed with her. My human is stubborn and undisciplined, not like our sweet, gentle Arythian females. Her fiery spirit tempts me to indulge my darkest desires. But if she is to be my mate, she must learn to obey me. She will submit – or she will be punished.
She will be tamed.
Xia
I may be the captive of an alien warlord. But I call no man Master.
A feral child, abandoned in the wild, I survived by being stronger, tougher than the most ferocious beasts. After my rescue, I trained as a warrior. Fighting side by side with the men, yielding to none. Now I’m trapped on an alien warship. The arrogant commander thinks he owns me. He’s determined to turn me into his submissive mate. I’m determined to escape. I can never let him know I find his dominance wickedly arousing. Stern punishment won’t bring me to my knees – but I’m becoming a slave to the passion he’s awakening in me.

“I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.”
I was given a free copy for an honest and voluntary review. This is one of the few books I read with the subject of Master and Submissive, and though I find a little hard to swallow the spanking part, the author actually more than made up with writing characters good to the core. Full of ethic, honest, hard working males in addition to well endow. I love how well the autor matched the couples and how hard this males fall for there mates. Each story was different, funny, sad, exhilarating, even angry; I felt all of this emotions and more. If you can get pass the Master/Submissive part I can assure you you will enjoy this stories.
What’s most interesting about this Centauri Captives collection is the variety between its heroines. They range from easily accepting to utterly challenging, from a nurturer to a starship commander. That variety and contrast also shows up in how they react to the situation they find themselves in, because these human women are essentially handed off to the Centauri when these aliens come seeking aid from Earth after the loss of their world and most of their population. Forced to confront a culture and a situation they didn’t choose, the differing responses the human “donations” have make each book in this three-book collection stand on its own. The Centauri heroes themselves adapt based on the type of woman they select, and their reactions to these women are some of the best parts of Centauri Captives.
That said, I do need to put out a trigger warning: these books are decidedly noncon. The human women were shipped off by their government leader utterly unawares, while the Centauri are informed by that same leadership that these humans are offered to them to replace their lost females. So the aliens view them as breeders when the women don’t even know where they are. Dane and Richards also create a tool that instills insta-lust in the women treated with it, so it’s hard to judge, particularly in the first book, if the heroine is truly choosing to be with her alien or simply doing so to relieve the lust brought on by this treatment she’s given. This approach starts to ebb, and by book 3, the heroine has far more agency and determines much more of her fate that the heroine of book 1. But I do think readers need to know this going in just in case this would be difficult for them to read.
If you a fan of uber-alpha heroes who act in a high-handed, dominant manner, the Centauri are for you. And I liked the improving approach towards the human heroines over the course of these three books. I hope future books continue on that more balanced path.
Three wonderful stories about the last surviving survivors of the planet Arythios. This box set covers the first three in this series. The stories are well written with steaming romance, drama, and likable characters. These stories are about a “dom type” alien male and the women who falls in love with them. The aliens treat their women in the classic BDSM discipline so the romantic scenes are quite explicit. The stories are:
The Human Captive
A short story that begins this series is about Jess and Captain Mantsk. Captain Mantsk commands the last surviving crew of the last spaceship. With no women or children, they travel to many planets until Earth agrees to send them women. Jess believing she’s being sent on a diplomatic mission to the planet Arythios, wakes up on a alien warship. When she realizes the truth, will she comply?
Ravished
Trina who’s abducted by her boss and caged in his basement but when his wife catches him with Trina with out her permission, he throws her in the group given to the Arythian’s. She’s chosen by Admiral Dylos who thinks of only doing his duty for the survival of his race but comes to feel for her over time and Trina who’s afraid to be taken against her will learns to care for her alien. Can they learn to love each other despite their differences?
Tamed
Commander Joran’s mate died in the war and the last thing he wants is a human mate. He is in charge of the fleet and commanded to hunt down the Rydek in revenge for the destruction of their world Arythios. He chooses Xia among the human women but Xia a warrior herself was not going to let any man tame her not even an alien. She was going to fight and escape. Will they become a couple and form a true partnership?
This box set allowed me to read the first and the third book which I totally enjoyed. I volunteer to read and review this ARC.
After the Arythians world is destroyed along with every living thing on it, they petition the Federation for assistance and instead of help they are given human women to serve at their pleasure. These three books relate the stories of three commanding warriors and the women they select for the sole purpose of breeding, in an effort to keep their race from disappearing. What they did not plan on was falling in love with the women they selected nor the contribution they would provide to their new mates/race.
His Captive Human – Captain Mantsk chose Jess.
Ravished – Admiral Dylos chose Trina.
Tame – Commander Joran chose Xia.
By the end of the third book, both Jess and Trina are pregnant. As they search for a new planet to establish a home for themselves, they are also searching for the aliens that destroyed their world. These are three great books that are well written, entertaining and keeps your attention. They are a great read and I would highly recommend them.
This book set, is entertaining, filled with action, and thoroughly enjoyable. The chemistry between the characters is wonderful. I can’t wait for more from this author. I received this book as a FREE ARC copy to read and I voluntarily leave this review.
Erotic yet heartwarming…
Once again human women are breeding material for alien males, but it softens the blow a bit when you know the males have no other choice. Jess and Mantsk begin our journey into this world with two strong characters butting heads. A fairly short story, it seemed fuller. I still felt I knew them and wanted more of this intriguing tale. Even though these aliens are more dominant and controlling than human males we are also privy to the sorrow they all feel after loosing their whole “world”. Dylos and Trina continue the overarching storyline with a few twists yet still I could empathize with them both. In Tamed Joran chooses Xia as a human breeder to perpetuate their species. He could not have picked a female to challenge him as much as she does. This couple is my favorite. They are so much alike smart, brave, and compassionate. The Arythian males may seem uncouth and crude but prove to be more honorable than some human men. Loved this sexy sci-fi read.
What exciting reads. Hot, suspenseful, emotional, disciplinary, feisty, domineering, surprising, The women got more than they bargained for but loved it later on. The men got more in the women than they thought they would but loved it later on. What they wanted they didn’t get. They got women instead. Will they find someplace and will the women work out? I received a review copy and voluntarily review it.
