I was granted, via B00|{$P®0UT, an ARC of Renee Rose & Rebel West’s “Claimed by the Zandian: An Alien Warrior Romance (Zandian Brides).” I recommend this book to others based upon its own merits. All opinions expressed within this review are uniquely my own & freely given!
Until next time… Happy Reading!
All the heated chemistry, fated mates, intrigue, danger, and angst from Zandian Masters has been brought to book one of Zandian Brides. Reneé Rose has built a world of aliens that made me want to get one for myself. Her characters are relatable, the storyline is consistent and the plot runs through seamlessly. In this book, “Claimed by the Zandian.” both the hero and heroine are damaged and yet they are so brilliantly suited for each other. One, the ying, to the other’s yang. I can tell I’m going to love this series as much as the last one. I was given a copy of this ARC and gladly give my honest and voluntary review.
There are many problems that could keep Zina and
Tarek apart but their attraction is stronger than their
objections. Both feel unworthy of love, each has their
own unique disabilities and deals with them in their own
special ways. The main plot is rescuing Enya, the child of
Dr. Daneth’s human mate, Bayla but it involves Zina and
Tarek who feel drawn to each other. I loved this story of
two physically damaged people that prove love can be
found even when you can’t see it in your future.
Claimed By The Zandian is another hot, steamy, passionate and very emotional story in this fantastic series.
I loved that both protagonists, Tarek and Zina, have so-called disabilities. Both characters feel inadequate and insufficient though both master their lives in their own unique way just perfectly fine.
I loved the depth of their feelings, the insta-attraction and their sizzling hot chemistry…
Once again the plot is twisted with some breathtaking and heart-stopping moments, apart from the deeply emotional or kinky and panty-melting hot parts…
I loved the topic of disabilities. That makes this story even more special for me. It is so important for people to understand that disabled persons are not worth less. They are just special in their very own way, sometimes even more talented than the average person.
This is another very well written story in this outstanding series!
The way to his heart
What an amazing story. The authors have really brought the emotions of having a disability to the forefront with both of these characters. There are so many emotional highs and lows and the excitement kept me on the edge of my seat. The HEA was all the more phenomenal because we weren’t sure they would even get it until the very end. I admit that I shed more than one tear when I read this book and I was cheering for this couple the entire time. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.
Tarek and Zina have no idea of their own value… but maybe they can help each other truly see themselves
For me, the magic of this book was two characters who had no idea they were capable contributing people, who thought that others were discarding them or, in a sense, tolerating them, discovering, through the eyes of another, just how amazing they truly are.
Tarek is as fierce, muscled, and powerful as any Zandian… but he is blind. He sees the world in an entirely different way, and that perspective is fun and led to a lot of wonderful scenes.
Zina has lived her life as a slave, trust comes slowly for her, but watching her explore her boundaries on a new world… and test Tarek’s boundaries, was great fun.
I have read other stories in with the Zandian characters in this Universe, but I kind of skip around, reading whatever sounds good in the moment… as a result, I am less aware of how any great arcs might be building. That being said, this story stood alone great. It was an immersive, quick read, done in one that I wanted to devour in a single sitting… with a lot of the kinky moments fitting in perfectly with the flow of the story and situations, and not feeling forced by the Zandian culture.

I love the Zandians
This was a steamy read. It had endearing characters and an intriguing storyline. I love all of the Zandian books and I would definitely recommend them.
Renee and Rebel have done an awesome job of this book. Its thrilling to read it really is. I love all the Zandian books, and each has their own unique story. In this story it sees one blind Zandian who dosnt think he is fit to claim a human as his own. He fears he will pass is own condition on to others. But what he dosnt realise is that after point of punishing Zina is that he wants her, to master her to own her, but that cannot be. Taking her home, it takes Zina a while to think on what she wants to to, or can do. But what she wants to do is learn navigation like Tarek, even though she does not understand whats involved she will do anything to be near or by him.
Definately worth 5 stars and a high recommendation to one click now
Unworthy…
Tarek believes that his blindness makes him a lesser Zandian and unworthy of a mate. When a rescue mission brings him in contact with Zina, Tarek starts to feel things he shouldn’t. He believes that he can never be her mate but he also can’t stay away. After their rescue Zina feels lost without being able to care for Enya. Spending time with Tarek is the only thing that gives her any pleasure. Oh what pleasure it is!! When the consequences of their actions catch up with them, Tarek does what all men do(human or alien) he runs. Actually he flies off on a very dangerous mission that goes wrong. Will Tarek have the chance to realize how worthy he truly is or has he missed his chance for a HEA?

This story like the rest of this series is absolutely fantastic. If you like SciFi with a twist of dominance and/or spankings etc this one should be right up your alley! I was so thankful when I started reading these stories that there had been a number of them already published so I could binge on them. Now I wait and wait and wait with hope there will be more and now we have a new story!! How thankful I am. This story like so many before from these authors had me reading from start to finish, not even able to fetch a cup of coffee… So that says it all I think. Loved it, loved it, loved it and loved it some more… Hope you enjoy it also and WOW how deserving this story is of the five stars – had they been ten or fifteen it would have gotten all those as well… Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did!!!

Zandians and humans make the best couples
In this book we have 2 broken souls, he is blind and feels second class and she has to overcome a lifetime of harsh slavery, humans are at the bottom of the space world chain
There’s plenty of cameos from other characters from past and (hopefully) future books.
While set in space, a lot of events here made me think of military families and that kind of dynamic.
The sex scenes are hot , my main takeaway was the connection had fun with these two
I was expecting a darker more angsty book , the hard issues were solved a little too easily
Still, highly recommended

I loved this story because it brings together a couple, Taryk and Zina, who both feel a bit less worthy than others for very different reasons. Taryk is blind but this doesn’t hold him back from too much, and in fact, his lack of vision allows for clarity in other ways. I liked watching Zina try to figure out what to do with her life-so much choice which has never been available to the former slave. There’s some action and tense moments, as well as a couple tender times. The whole family aspect made this a feel-good read, while still keeping it rainbow sexy.

I love this series. I always look forward to the next book in the series, because they never disappoint!
Zina is a slave who has raised other young slaves just for them to be taken away later. She is raising a slave girl who is 9 yrs old (Enya) and is just trying to keep her safe. But the Ocretians have decided that they don’t have to wait to sell Enya and they throw Zina in as a bonus. Of course Zina would do anything for Enya, because she raised her from an infant and she feels like a mother to her. So she decides that even tho both of them might not make it out alive, she will sacrifice herself to make sure Enya does.
Here is where the Zandians come in. They are looking for a certain slave. They plan on rescuing that slave from whoever buys them. You find out they are looking for Enya for some reason. And tho Zina gets injured Enya won’t leave without her. They end up saving both females.
Tarek is a blind Zandian. He feels like he has no value and just wants to be a warrior. But he does have a device planted into his brain which helps make him the best pilot the Zandians have. As soon as Tarek sees Zina the sparks start flying!
I don’t want to spoil the book so I won’t tell you all the awesome things that happen after that But let’s just say that you don’t want to miss out on this book! There is plenty of steadiness and Tarek ends up learning he isn’t expendable. He is actually very important!
Zina and Enya are rescued by Tarek and his team. Zina and Tarek are very enamored with one another. I loved reading this book, very well written!

I don’t usually do sci-fi stuff but this blurs for the story really pulled me in! I was more than thrilled with the story. It has all the feels that I look for in a book. Even with the lead man being purple with horns at that! !! I like Renee Rose’s writing a lye and she never disappoints! Sexual chemistry off the charts, steamy action, taking risks with your heart and true love is felt by all!

An exciting and emotionally gripping story, Zina and Tarek are two complicated and broken individuals that are made for each other. I honestly didn’t think she’d be the one who was stronger though, until I realized that, hell yeah, she’s stronger than him, she’s a real deal survivor! But then his sad backstory comes out, and she comes through again. I loved this book in the series, Tarek was Dom light but still just what Zina needed. I read it in one sitting, couldn’t put it down!
Tarek and Zina ultimately discover that their physical limitations do not determine their self worth, or restrict their future with each other.
The book began with some action and suspense as Zina tries to protect Enya. Then it takes a turn as they acclimate to a Zandian way of life. There is a little more action later in the book with Tarek.
The one thing that bothered me was the way Zina was treated regarding Enya after they arrived on the planet. I kept expecting Lamira to step in with words of wisdom of something.
I actually expected more interaction with some of the earlier Zandians, but I guess that is what happens when you rewrite other people’s book in your mind. Lol!
Overall, a very quick read with some action, suspense, and a number of steamy moments.
I voluntarily read and reviewed the Advanced Reader Copy of this book received from the author.
I cant get enough of these Zandians and Tarek is no acception!! Though in a lot of ways he isnt your typical Zandian in the bedroom he is!!
Great love story and a brilliant addition to the Zandian series!!
Steaming hot, funny and sweet! Great read.

Tarek has been blind since birth and has always felt inferior as a Zandian. He helps rescue Zina and Enya and is drawn to Zina. He takes her on to train her in navigation even though she’s terrible at it. He wants to be close to her and can’t bear for her to be with anyone else. Zina wants only Tarek, but feels broken herself with a bad leg and being sterile. Good ending.
Claimed by the Zandian by Renee Rose.
I CAN’T CLAIM HER…BUT SHE WILL CALL ME MASTER.
I was born blind. My genes are defective.
Unsuitable for breeding.
That’s the only reason I don’t claim the alluring human
we rescued from a slave auction.
I have no intention of mating her,
especially since she’s meant for another.
But when she calls me Master, I can’t help but take command.
And command I will.
I really enjoyed this book I also loved the cover. Hopefully there will be more to come. 4*.
