KalaniI am forbidden.Forbidden to feel a man’s touch.Forbidden to taste his lips on mine.Forbidden to know the savage thrill of making love.Dedicated to the Goddess as a child, I led a sheltered life in the Temple. Until I woke on an alien starship.Now a hulking seven foot tall warrior says I belong to him. He means to claim me. I tried to tell him my vows will not allow it. If he dares to touch … vows will not allow it. If he dares to touch me, we will both die.
But he doesn’t believe me…
Guryon
My world is gone. My people are dead.
Men, women, children—killed by the Rydek, an unknown enemy with unlimited powers of destruction.
We’re all that’s left of the Arythian civilization. One squadron of elite warriors and a small fleet of starships. The enemy is out there somewhere in the vast expanse of space. To defeat them, we must learn all we can about our foes. Discover their weaknesses. I am heading a mission to track down the Rydek and bring one back. Alive.
Our leader presented me with a beautiful human slave. He says it’s my duty to mate with her before I go, to assure the survival of our race. But I know the truth. I volunteered for what may be a suicide mission—and he wants me to have one final night of erotic bliss before I die.
The sight of this sultry, exotic female awakens dark hungers in me, hungers demanding to be satisfied. There’s only one problem. Though I ache to make her mine, she says I cannot touch her.
She says it will cost me my life—because she is forbidden.

Lalani’s love was for her goddess and her mate!
by sewsummore
Kalani with many other women, were taken from Earth and given to the Centauri warriors The women were the only hope for this proud race of warriors to survive since their home planet destroyed with all the inhabitants includes wives, mothers and children along with it. As a member of the Elite Warrior class Kalani was given to Guryon as a breeder, but to him she was his mate and his love for her was profound. This book was special in many ways, Kalani had been a trainee priestess on Earth, her compasssion and love for her goddess was unwavering. Her mate Guryon, was a warrior with a harsh upbringing, he did not experience love until he was given Lalani’s love. The storyline was one that flowed smoothly with graphic scenes their emerging love for each other.

This is a really good story. These authors are very good at writing a really good romance, but also weaving intrigue, suspense, mystery and action into the story. The heroine in this story is clever, strong and talented.
This is book 5 of the Centauri Captives. This is a great series. This one features Kalani, who would have become a Priestess but Earth sent her with other human women for the Centauri Aliens. Guryon is a Centauri warrior who has been match with Kalani. They both go through a cultural shock. The men are all Alpha males and the women are all beautiful. Each book is a different story of couples. An alien race that has lost everything, world, women, children, and are given another chance with Earth Women to save their race. I hope there are more stories added to this series. Maybe the stories will build with children that are born of these warrior and humans.

They say the next book in the series is titled Captivated. Well i was captivated by this book. By this entire series. Even without the intense and oh so hot moments between Guryon and Kalani i fell hard for them and thier journeys. I can not wait to see what will happen next with Callo. I would highly recommend.
Happy reading!

With this one the author team is back on the road again.
Some details could be more juicy but overall it fit good and I loved the inner silent strength of Kalani (h) don’t forget the softness, compassion and patience of the hardened warrior. That was really sweet and unexpected but also hot.
Loved the book it was great, the story was well written and the characters are interesting. Kalani is promised to be a priestess and has lived untouched. Kalani woke up on a spaceship, she was taken to be mated with one of the warriors. Guryon is a warrior, he lost his family and everyone else on his planet he wants to help bread and teach her the pleasure of intimacy. The connection between the two is great hot and steamy.
Thank you for allowing me to review your book.

Before leaving on what he is sure may be a suicide mission to capture a Rydek, he is given a pick of a breeder and chooses Kalani, who has been secluded from the time she was given to the temple as a small child and is in training to be a Priestess of the Goddess. When she tells Guryon that she is to remain untouched or they would die he is patient and does not force her, it takes time for him to prove this belief wrong. And as she helps Guryon with his prisoner they connect and their love deepens. Though there are some moments of discipline their is no cheating and ends a HEA. I received and read this in exchange for an honest review.
Kaloni was taken from the temple she was raised in and given to an alien warrior. Guryon’s planet was destroyed while all but a few of their elite warriors were away. Now it was up to them to replace their lineage. They were offered earth women. Kaloni was determined to not succumb to her warrior. Guryon was determined to conquer his bride.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this slightly dark Sci-Fi alien romance, it is the 5th book & an excellent addiction to the series “Centauri Captives” but is complete & standalone. The story-line is well-paced with a well-written plot, there is good world building & scene descriptions. The complex characters have unique individual characteristics , one of the characters displays a single-minded determination & deviousness to obtain his goals while the other character displays a determination to resist because of her upbringing
There is: a future priestess (Kalani) is given in trade to aliens & is chosen by an alien warrior (Guryon) as a breeder before going on a apparent suicide mission but things don’t exactly go as planned, various kinds of aliens, humans, friendship, twists & turns, intrigue, suspense, some action, adventure, enemies, danger, threats, deceit, betrayal, vengeful feelings, a mission, memories, disorientation, confusion, unintentional defiance, religious beliefs, patience, consideration, devious plans, sexual manipulations, discipline, punishment, spanking, decisions, realization, compromises, helpfulness, acceptance, happiness, love & a satisfying conclusion for this couple with a interesting epilogue . I really enjoyed reading this Sci-fi alien romance & would recommend it to people who enjoy reading this genre.
Part of a series about a group of young women from Earth kidnapped and given to aliens as breeders. Each story features unique characters despite the similar theme. This one is my favorite do far as the female lead has a much different background than the others. Steamy, satisfying read. I suggest reading them in order but each one is standalone story.
Such a captivating story. I really like how Kalani overcame her upbringing to trust in herself and what she believed to be right. I look forward to more in this series.
I am totally enjoying this series. The books are not super long but they pack a bunch of story into them. And the couple’s in each book are always unique.
I loved how because Kalani considers herself forbidden, because of her religion, Guryon decides to seduce her with other things to get her to give in eventually. This makes for some steamy reading leading up to that point. But you also get background about both the MC’s.
I also love that you get to see the other characters from the other books. I always enjoy finding out what happens with them!
Whilst the basic captive alien bride/destroyed home world is nothing new, this series is building an interesting story arc to give it extra depth. I also liked that each individual story is very distinct from the others. Both Kalani and Guryon were different to the H and h’s from the previous books. I really liked them both, though I would have liked more of Guryon’s point of view and to see his character grow. He did develop but it felt a little disjointed.
Kalani was fairly accepting of the changes in her life and I felt the authors sold this well with the reasons given. It was also very refreshing that it didn’t follow the usual ‘formula’ of conflict etc. Another thing I like is how the women are allowed to employ their skills and contribute in some way, rather than being kept like a trophy.
The Centauri Captives series is an entertaining read, each story is stand alone but there is a building back story that adds to the overall interest level. I’m ‘Captive’ to it now and can’t wait to read the next book.
Enjoyable and entertaining read. My only complaint is that this book seem much shorter compared to the other books in the series. Kelani was also way different from the other heroine she seem to handle the whole kidnapping/alien captive idea better than the other girls. Overall a good read. Looking forward to seeing what else is in store for this series.
The next warrior has been told to choose a woman to breed. Kalani was dedicated to her goddess. She believed it was forbidden to be with a man. But she was stolen and given to Guryon. They work to understand one another and find happiness with each other. Kalani also helps them figure out how and why their people were killed.
