This author continues to write amazing books and always leaves me wanting more! You won’t be dissapointed with this one! Check out the entire series!
This is the fifth book in the Tribute Brides of the Drexian Warriors Series, a Sci-Fi Alien Warrior Romance. This is a great addition to the Series. You can listen to this story as a standalone, but I recommend you to listen to this Series in order. Dakar and Ella’s story is fast-paced and entertaining. They both are strong, stubborn, and determined. They are opposites attract, and I like their unexpected relationship. They share a strong chemistry. Jodie Bentley did a great job with the narration. Looking forward to listen to the next book in the Series, Bound. I love this Series!
Yet another stubborn couple fall on the Love Boat! Dakkar & Elle are thrown together on a secret mission. both are stubborn and commited to staying single, but this is the Love Boat. I was captivated from the start, and can’t wait for the next book. I received this book it exchange for my honest review.
This review was possible because I received a free copy from Booksprout. However, Tana has hooked me on to this series so much that I bought two other books in this series. This book was very sexy, Dakar was the perfect playboy turned possessive Drexian-that’s-fallen-in-love. Do yourself a favour and read this.

Forbidden by Tana Stone is the fifth book in the Tribute Brides of the Drexian Warriors. This book is the love story of an alien hero named Dakar, who never expected to receive the gift of a human mate and a woman named Ella who was willing to arrange alien weddings for other tribute brides as long as she doesn’t have to be a bride herself. These two unlikely people have amazing story of how they eventually find that perfect love with one another. I loved this story. The steamy scenes definitely made my heart rate increase and the interaction between these two characters made for exciting and entertaining read. This is for anyone who loves a great alien romance. Forbidden is an entertaining and sexy human alien romance.
Loved the book it was great, the story was well written and the characters are interesting. Ella was to be married to a Drexian warrior but rejected him, so she was sent to were they send rejects. Dakar noticed Ella when she crashed into him so all he wanted to do was get to know her more. Dakar wants Ella more than anything.

This was a good read. I found it entertaining and well written. Ella was a strong intelligent woman that knew what she did and did not want. Dakar knew that he only wanted Ella and was willing to put in the work to get her. The book was fill of action and adventure, and I loved their chemistry and interactions.

Is it a temporary addiction or is it love!
by sewsummore
As a reward for his help in retrieving a stolen tribute bride and exposing a traitor in th Drexian High Command, Darar was rewarded with his own tribute bride. However the only bride he wanted was Ella and she was forbidden. That did not stop him from lusting over her nor did it stop him from requesting her help in decypering the data retrieved from an enemy agent. The more time he spent with her the harder it was for him to resist her. At the same time Ella seemed to have developed a crush or temporary additiction to him and soon neither of them resisted. It was a dangerous situation for many reasons but when they end up going on a mission together it was too late for them both. I loved this series and the sexy aliens who master their human brides. If youy want to see what happened next, read the book it just gets better.

Ella had refused to be a tribute bride. Dakar was on the Love Boat to get his tribute bride when he saw Ella. That was it for him. She was forbidden. What an exciting and interesting journey for these two.

Tana Stone’s series of Drexian Tribute Brides is just amazing! Erotic, steamy love scenes mixed with a wonderful plot make this a winning series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but I would recommend you read them in order since some of the backstory is referenced in each subsequent novel. No cheating and happy ever after endings always are a plus and make this author one of my absolute favorites in this genre! I can’t wait to read more!

Dakar meet Ella at a friends wedding. Ella refuses to become a tribute bride to any brawny Alpha Alien. She has been living with the other reject brides that are off limit to Drexian Warriors. I think she is to stubborn. Dakar has a bad reputation and all the females have heard about his ways. The story was interesting, had lots of adventure and maybe, just maybe Ella changes her mind. Love the Tribute Bride series. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Dakar was having a wonderful dream about a beautiful woman in his bed when a loud knock sounded on his door in the officers’ quarters. His Drexian best friend and fellow Inferno Force warrior, Torven, was standing there. Drexian warriors were known across the galaxy, but the elite Inferno Force was the warrior team known for enforcing their might. No one messed with them! The Drexians had been keeping Earth safe for quite some time in return for a select number of females every Earth year to mate with their warriors and help continue the species. The tribute brides were brought to the “Boat”, a high-tech space station where they were given a holographic fantasy suite and assigned a wedding planner and a special liaison. Dakar was being awarded the next available bride since he was moved up the list when he and Torven had rescued a tribute bride and revealed a mole in the Drexian High Command. But he was bored with the wait and wasn’t sure he wanted a bride, though there was one human he had seen at Torven’s wedding that he just couldn’t seem to forget – Ella, who had pinned the wedding flowers on them and caused his body to jolt when she brushed against him.
Ella was sent to live with the few women who didn’t want to be a tribute bride. They were in a special part of the space station and were off-limits to the warriors. When he meets Ella again, he’s startled by his feelings for her. Unfortunately, she is absolutely not interested in a mate, and especially not an alpha playboy! He should wait for the bride they will be sending for him. But all he wants to know is whether he can change Ella’s mind about giving him a chance, or will she firmly reject him?
I totally enjoy this series! The writing is excellent, and the dialog flowed perfectly among the characters. The humor is always such a pleasure and really sets the tone for the story line. Great writing, wonderful story line, strong and admirable characters – it has everything a reader would want in a book! Grab your copy and enjoy!
Ella rejected being a tribute bride after she was kidnapped from earth. This was only allowed because the Drexians saved Earth from an invasion from the Kronock’s. So she was sent to live in the section where the ‘Rejects’ lived or as Ella called it where the independents lived. She will never be able to return to earth again, so she had to do something with her days, so she started to write code for the extravagant holographic’s used for when tribute brides are married.
Dakar is a Drexian who because of his heroic achievements has been chosen to be the recipient of a tribute bride on the next shipment. But he doesn’t want just anyone, he wants Ella, but because she rejected the arranged marriage on her arrival, she is now forbidden to Dakar. But Dakar has plans for something different. He only wants Ella. He has to win her over and convince her to have him.
But there is word that there is a hybrid Drexian who was taken by the Kronock and there might be a way to turn him back into a Drexian again by changing his DNA. They go off to find the hybrid, but when they are fighting the monsters that were created from the Kronock experiments, Ella discovered that it was a trap and raced to tell the men this. Shreya was left behind to watch the ship, but the hybrid was able to slip by and kidnaps her. Ella and the Drexians are determined that they will get her back as well as the Drexian Hybrid.
Dakar is facing reprimands for sleeping with Ella and having a relationship with her with his high commissioner, but he manages to convince them that he is better off with Ella and is given permission to marry her. Their happily ever after is subdued because they have to go find Shreya. The story continues……

This series gets better and better! The interlaced plot lines, world building and characters are wonderfully done.
This book has Dakar being put on the list for getting the next tribute bride after his work exposing the Kronok plot. He is a world class player who has made his way through a universe of ladies and has the reputation to prove it. Ella is a reject from the tribute bride program, she chose not to participate. As an independent she is able to get a job writing code for one of the designers. Dak “volunteers” her to help the team investigating the Kronok infiltration. They have an off the charts attraction to each other and eventually act on it. As part of their investigation the team has to retrieve the Drexian/Kronok hybrid. They locate him but he escapes kidnapping Shreya in the process. Dak and Ella get their misunderstandings cleared up and get their HEA.

Just like the other books in this series, this story is a must-read. Love can turn the greatest Casanova into an insecure, uncertain male.
