I’m tough. I’m a survivor. As a runaway, I lived on the streets. Then I became the mistress of a mob boss. When I witnessed a murder, I knew I’d be next.So I stowed away on a spaceship full of women my government gave to the aliens.I traded my body, my self-respect, for a place to sleep at night and food in my belly a long time ago. So if mating with an alien keeps me from being Big Tony’s next … being Big Tony’s next victim, I’m in.
How hard could it be? I’d been pretending for years with Tony. Hiding my disgust every time he touched me. I made him feel like a big stud. I can do it again, even with a male from another world. Guys are all the same no matter where they come from. Right?
To my surprise, I don’t have to pretend with the sexy alien who chose me. His dominance gets me hot. But he wants more than my body. He’s trying to capture my heart. I’ve been fighting him – but I’m afraid he’s winning.
I don’t belong here. I’m not a warrior like the others.
But I’m the last of my line now. So I’ll choose a female and do my duty.
As a scientist, I shouldn’t have been on the solport. But if I was back home on Arythios, I’d have died along with my father, my brother, and every other being on the planet. Killed by a faceless enemy we call the Rydek.
We’re all that’s left – an elite squadron of warriors and the support staff deployed with them on a training mission in deep space. All males. We asked for help from the Interstellar Federation. Instead of offering supplies and starfighters to join us in battling our enemy, they sent a ship full of females from a minor planet called Earth. “To see to our needs,” their leader said. It was an insult. But if we don’t produce offsprin,g our race will die out.
I chose a small dark-haired beauty, one who looked like she’d be properly submissive. Instead she’s defiant. Her fiery spirit has awakened desires I never knew I had.
I’m determined to make her mine.

This story follows Carla in her attempt to break free from her past and a miserable life as the partner of a mafia boss, and that of a half-breed alien trying to find a new home for his people and his potential future family after their planet was destroyed. I really liked the drama in this book and the fact that the authors describe the characters’ past in such a detailed way. The reader gets to understand their point of view and relate with them. Also, the whole “aliens have feelings and cry as well” thing was really moving, and a pleasant change as most books depict them only as brutal, hard studs. This book was quite interesting and made me want to read all previous ones from this series. 🙂

This series to just get better and better.
I admire Carla’s strength so much.
Her will to survive, but her way.
Keirst was exactly what she needed.
Their story seemed quick, but it was filled with love and passion.
I would recommend.
Happy reading!

Book seven of the Centauri Captives series another well written story that kept me turning pages. This is Chantal a human and Kierst’s story it is one of two damaged people who find they need each other. There is Chantal not have a translator, twists, turns, intrigue, suspense, deceit, misunderstandings, self-esteem issues, discipline, spanking, protectiveness,drama, and romance. I enjoyed reading this book. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Mistress of a dangerous mob boss who will kill her with no regrets to keep secret a murder she witnessed, Chantal escapes and becomes a stowaway on a ship of Earth Women being sent as brides for a small all-male squad of Arythios warriors, support staff, and a scientist who had been off their planet on a training mission when everything was destroyed by the Rydek. Because she had sneaked onto the ship, she has no translator to understand the alien language. So when Chantal is picked by Kiest to be his mate, she has no idea what he’s saying. The confusion, misunderstandings, and crazy situations that result make an interesting story.
I have a knee-jerk reaction to sci-fi – I absolutely love it and eagerly add it to my pile of reading. But I really need to carefully read the blurbs now so I don’t grab anything with disgusting dominant/kinky/BDSM and apparently “dark” topics. This is absolutely not my kind of pleasure reading – it really bothers me in a very bad way. But I won’t slam the authors’ story and will always try to fairly review.
Love this author’s books. They are always well written and flow so well with the characters and the story together. This is exciting, suspenseful, dramatic, exciting, learning about life in a way. They each have their own history of deep hurts and abuse. It makes a situation where they can help the other heal and learn to love. But add in hot and steamy and discipline. I received a review copy and voluntarily review it.
Book 7 in this series was really good. I enjoyed the connection between the two main characters. Hopefully, we will see more soon!!!!
Loved the book, the story was well written and the characters are unique. Once I started I could not put the book down from start to finish you just could not get enough with twists and turns hot and steamy like a rollercoaster ride of emotions that makes you want more with feelings, desires, passion and lust, erotic sweetness, sensational pleasures and heat from arousal.
Thank you for allowing me to review your book.

Another interesting and exciting story from this author. Although it’s part of a series it can be read as a standalone. Great plot and great characters.

Another great addition to the series. Some of it takes place on a planet which really changes up the story. I hope this is a place this race can settle with their mates. Carla’s story was also different because of how she ended up on the ship. Her inability to communicate added a lot of spice to the story because Kierst had to work harder to reach her.
Karla had stowed away on an alien ship to get away from Big Tony. But then she woke up and realized she had been chosen by one of the aliens.Kierst hadn’t wanted to choose a bride but his commander gave him no choice. Then, when he saw Karla he knew she was his mate. But Karla was determined that he was all wrong because of her past and escaped on an unmanned vehicle to the planet that the crew were hoping to make their home. Kierst chased her down and made his feelings known. Fun read

Chantal sneaks aboard the ship with the other women being sent to aliens as mates.
Chantal had lived with Big Tony as a way to survive but when she sees him kill someone she knows she will be next so she runs and sneaks aboard a shuttle that is taking women to an alien spaceship to become mates to the all male crew. Keirst and the rest of the crew were aboard the ship on a deep space mission when their home planet Arythios was destroyed leaving the all male crew the last of their race so they needed females to keep their race alive. When his captain orders him to choose a female to mate with and produce children he argued but gave in as the last of his line. He chose Chantal but there is a problem as she has no translator chip so they can not understand each other.

This was a great addition to the series!! I enjoyed this romantic adventure of Carla and Kierst. The struggle they both had endure but to see them grow and come together as a couple was amazing. Overall a enjoyable and entertaining read looking forward to seeing what else is in store for this series. I voluntarily read and review this ARC no monetary compensation was received and the opinions I have expressed are my own.
This one is a winner. Now that they’ve found a home planet I hope their story would not end there. I can’t wait for the next book.

I’ve read the first couple of these books, but not the rest until this one. Although the book is a standalone about this couple of characters, there is a background storyline, which had obviously developed quite a bit since the first books I read.
This was quite a short story, however I enjoyed it more than the first ones. I found it light easy to read with some suspense. The storyline isn’t really long enough for any great character depth, but it has Interesting storyline. It was great as a light quick read.
Fantastic …

I have loved this series. Chantal (Clara) is a stow away on a ship of other Earth Women destined for Arythian warriors that lost everyone on their planet and the planet itself. Clara has had a really crummy life on Earth and is ready to get away. She is picked by Kiest to be his mate. Since Clara was a stow away she doesn’t have a translator so she doesn’t understand Kiest. There is drama, discipline, spankings, confusion and steamy sexy scenes. I highly recommend this series. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Liked the other books in this series this one moves the overall story along, but also focuses on a different couple. You still get cameos of previous couple’s from other books. Which I LOVE! But you also get a new couple as well. I liked how in this one the Hero and heroine couldn’t really talk to each other. It made for an interesting and different point of view from the other books in the series. And I also liked how they still managed to get their points across when they needed to as well! Made for another great read in the series!
Carla has lived a hard life being involved in the mob and escapes on a space ship. She goes on a wild trip and meets her fated mate. I love this series and this book does not disappoint. Kierst and Carla are complicated and wonderful together as their love blooms.
I absolutely enjoyed reading this excellent Sci-Fi alien romance. It is the seventh book in the series “Centauri Captives” but it can be read as a standalone. The well-paced plot has splendid scene descriptions &good world building. The characters are complex individuals with unique personalities, one of the characters is determinate to escape while the other character is just as determine to claim her.
There is: a feisty young woman (Chantal aka Clara) on the run from a mob boss(Big Tony) stows away on a spaceship filled with women & is later chosen by a dominate Arythian scientist (Kierst) who is determined to claim her for his own even though Clara does not have a translator, some twists, intrigue, suspense, some action, deceit, memories, misunderstandings, self-esteem issues, discipline, spanking, confusion, a new world, protectiveness, compromises, deepening bonds, contentment, happiness, love, steamy scenes & a satisfying conclusion. I really enjoyed reading this Sci-fi alien romance & would recommend it.
she snuck aboard the alien transport ship to escape the mob boss who she was sure was going to kill her for knowing about his criminal activities. so when she got picked by the alien male she didnt have a translater and could not comunicate with him. causing many difiulties.
this was a fun read, with plenty of emotion, elements of power exchange, steamy scenes.
