Crash landed on an alien world. Lost in a jungle. Captured by a savage.
Now I have a choice. Mate with their prince – or die. It’s been a rough day.Except I don’t have a choice. Not really. The High Priest threatens to put my entire crew to death unless I agree. So I make him a deal. I’ll mate with the future king and give him an heir – in exchange for their freedom.Turns out my new mate is a … their freedom.
Turns out my new mate is a mouth-watering, seven foot tall bronze hunk. He’s so hot he could be the star of one of the tacky romance novels I’m secretly addicted to.
Unfortunately this planet requires females to obey their mates or be disciplined. I’m not the submissive type, so I get punished by my new mate. A lot. But I’m determined this alien alpha will never break me. Night after night I defy him.
As time goes on, his stern discipline and passionate lovemaking are awakening dark desires in me. Wicked desires I’ve never felt before.
I don’t know how much longer I can hold out.
A note from the author: Her Savage Mate is based on the characters in my story in the USA TODAY bestselling box set Alien Alphas. I’ve added lots of steamy hot new scenes to make it a full-length standalone novel.

A thoroughly enjoyable read. Her world building was phenomenal and her heroine was so sassy.
I really enjoyed the beginning of this story it made me laugh. The story kept me entertained all the way. The characters are well created and very engaging. This is a story that will keep you smiling all the way through.
Imagine crash landing on a planet with seven other females. Now imagine being taken captive by a native, and to keep your crew mates safe, you have to mate with the Prince of the peoples… and produce an heir. What would you do?
Jalen is the Prince of Antaris expected to mate with the newfound female. He doesn’t want to. He would prefer to be single, existing in the past.
When his father decrees their unity, Jalen can’t deny his only living parent.
But what will that mean to his new mate? To Jalen?
You will love this deliciously dark and steamy story!
I don’t do spoilers which makes this hard to review without giving anything away. I kinda of had a love hate relationship with both Jalen and Jane. Both were strong will and intelligent and Jane loved to antagonize Jalen just to get him to react. Well actually they like to antagonize each other. Overall enjoyable and entertaining read with plenty of heat, humor, to keep you interested from beginning to end. I voluntarily read and review this ARC no monetary compensation was received the opinions I have expressed are my own.
I received an ARC copy of this book. I have read and reviewed it, therefore giving my honest and voluntary review.
This was a sensually beautifully written story. The tale of Jalen and His Alien Human AKA Tarzan and Jane, was grand enough to make me want more of the story. Their adventur to love will be embraced and as emlightening as a touch. A great story of fierce love and find your way to it. A grand story to behold and highly recommended.
Her savage mate really is savage … in the bedroom. Wow-Wee !! Jane, our reseacher and Captain, lands herself in a spot of trouble when she and her crew have to crash land on an unexplored planet, Naxos. Caught eating their sacred fruit, she is forced to monkey around with Jalen, the crowned prince. What they don’t expect to happen is their relationship growing into love. Who would of thunk it ?? Definately not these two. Ms. Kallista is a great writer and you’ll enjoy her trips into space. There are others you know.
I read the original in the Alphas Aliens Anthology when it first came out and really liked it, since then I’ve become a big fan and have read a lot of Kallista Danes books, so reading this new copy was an even better experience!
Jane and Tarzan sci-fi addition is interesting. Jane crash landed on a planet and has to procreate with the prince Jalen to save her crew. The problem is neither one is into this arrangement. This is a sexy and entertaining read. I received this ARC and am voluntarily leaving my review.
I received a copy of Her Savage Mate as an ARC and have to say, it was my favorite story so far
This one has our heroine crash landing on an alien planet and meeting one of the inhabitants. Her act of stealing the sacred fruit leads her to being taken to the leader and sentenced to…. marriage to the prince and future king! What a punishment, amiright?
The prince is not exactly the nicest guy around and some of their interactions are emotional for me. I felt sad that they were not getting along and weren’t happy.
Luckily this is a short, steamy story so everything works out just fine.
I would definitely recommend this story to anyone with a couple hours to kill and enjoys alien romance with a touch of weird and also steaminess
This story was originally part of the Alien Alpha’s Anthology set, but more has been added and updated to make it a full novel.
A new and alien version of Tarzan and Jane, with lots of steam and spanking thrown in!!
Jane and her 7 female crew members crash land on a planet. While she is walking around looking for food she takes some fruit from what look to be monkeys, but these turn out to be sacred and she is found with them by a tall, handsome, bronze God of an alien and taken to the High Priest for punishment. He decides after looking at her that if she mates with their Prince and produces an heir he will let her ship mates leave. The Prince, Jalen, turns out to be the bronze God Alien who turned her in!! Neither like the position they are in, both are stubborn and push each others buttons to see how far they can get. Woman on this plant are subservient to their males, Jane is anything but, she is feisty and sassy and won’t do as she’s told, yet finds herself yielding to Jalen and his dominant nature and his correctional behavior spanking, but can they get along enough to mate properly!!
This was a fun and entertaining read, lots of steam, spankings and sexiness!! Well worth the read.
Jane’s ship crashes on an alien planet. When she takes fruit that is sacred she is forced to mate with the prince and he will in turn help repair her ship. Neither Jane, nor Jalen want the forced mating but, they have a connection. If they could only stop baiting each other long enough to find out. This is one hot, steamy read and I would definitely recommend it.
Her Savage Mate is a stand-alone sci-fi romance. Jane and her crew has crash landed on a new planet that’s absolutely beautiful, but after stealing forbidden fruit, she’s now forced to make a choice. Mate with the prince or her and her entire crew will face death. Jalen, the prince, is not happy about this decree either and soon it becomes a battle of the wills. He may dominate her body, but she refuses to beg or give up her independent nature. In a society where all females must submit to all males, Jane needs to balance her needs with her strength, all in hopes of finding happiness and maybe even love.
I really enjoyed reading this book, with the clash of the cultures to the steamy scenes and finding mutual respect and everything in between! I loved Ms. Dane’s imagination with this book, between the shimba, the description of the flowers, and even some of Jalen’s punishments, this book almost became not just a reading experience, but a full sensory experience! Jane was so brave, deciding to become a mate to someone she didn’t know, knowing she might not love the rest of her life, but she took it all in stride the best that she could. Jalen was just as stubborn and strong as Jane, but I loved reading about his growing respect and trust of Jane while his love grew for her as well! I really enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it to anyone who loves their sci-fi romances with a side of discipline!
This is a well-written, Sci-Fi, Alien Romance with humor, angst, excellent character development and an engaging story line.
Jalen is an Alien male, who captures a human female captain who crashed into his planet, Naxos. He decides to name her Tamina, after a feisty alien animal he believes her temperament mimics, and she nicknames him Tarzan (Well, you can guess why). Even though they strongly disagree over the role of men versus women on Naxos, they are inherently drawn to each other. Although she fights it, Tamina is drawn to his bedroom dominance. Similarly, Jalen secretly enjoys her outgoing, fiery personality. I like it when a story moves quickly into the fun stuff, and this one did just that, with a deliciously scorching hotter than hot mating ritual. And then, it just got better.
This is the first book I have read by Kallista Dane, and because of it, I have already one-clicked on several of her other books.
Oh, I love Kallista Dane. Her books are usually really hot and sexy. This one is no different, but it has a hefty dose of humor in it too, which I always appreciate. When you read it, you’ll see what I mean. It’s a lot of fun, a little adventure, a lot sexy, and altogether epic af.
Jane’s ship crashes into a jungle. When she goes out looking for food and help, she finds some fruit that some monkeys are eating and decides to take it back to her ship and crew. That’s when Tarzan shows up and drags her off to his high priest. His high priest gives her a deal, marry the prince or die slowly. She figures the prince isn’t a fate worse than death and decides to marry him. That’s when Jane finds out that her Tarzan is actually Jalen, the prince that she’s supposed to marry.
Jane and Jalen together are pretty epic. They are both seriously stubborn and both seriously proud. Neither one of them wants to buckle to the other, and so they each try to outdo each other stubborn wise. It’s fun to watch and funny to watch. I loved this story.
A paradise in a veritable Garden of Eden…beware of the snakes!
Crash landing on an alien planet is a terrifying experience. At first glance, Naxos appears a lush, beautiful Eden. Is it? As the Commander takes off to find help, what she finds amazes her. The most exotic, colorful, and delightful monkey-like creatures she’s ever seen appear before her out of nowhere. Only…are these creatures REALLY doing what it looks like? Yep! Seems they’re obsessed with…making love! Ever curious, the Commander creeps closer. In the process, she lands in the middle of the biggest trouble of her life. She’s not just infuriated these beautiful creatures. Unknowingly, she’s broken Naxos’ most inviolable law. As she runs to escape, she crashes headlong into a gorgeous brick wall of a man. He’s furious and hauls her off to the High Priest for punishment. Why? She doesn’t understand. Dubbing him Tarzan seems appropriate. He certainly looks the part. Kicking and fighting every step of the way, the Commander’s soon learns her crimes and their consequences. The High Priest proposes a very unique, but simple, solution. All she has to do is mate the Naxian prince and produce an heir. Her crew will then be free to leave. But can she? Seems there’s no choice. She’s soon mated to the Prince Jalen. But no one told her the finer points of Naxian society. On Naxos, the men rule; women obey. And Jalen is no happier about this than the Commander. An outspoken, snarky, and downright rude mate who challenges him in every way? Oh, did I mention that Jalen and the Commander’s “Tarzan” are one and the same? His arrogance and dominance push every one of the Commander’s buttons. Jalen’s determined to break her defiance and stubbornness. Night after night, they battle. It’s only the Commander’s crew that keeps her caged. But Jalen’s upped the stakes. He’s determined to make her beg for the “privilege” of breeding her. Intolerable! But her crew’s lives hang in the balance. Soon hidden secrets, the Commander’s, Jalen’s, political intrigue inside the palace walls, threaten to destroy everything. When the inevitable showdown occurs, can Jalen accept anything less than complete submission? The better question is can the Commander surrender everything to Jalen? Will she sacrifice everything she is, the very foundations of her soul, even to save her crew? If not, the consequences will destroy everything!
I loved the entire premise of this book. The Commander is an overzealous hard ass who’s spent her life competing against everyone and everything. She’s incapable of doing anything by halves. Pushed and pulled by forces she can’t understand, she’s belligerent, over confident, snide, and rude. But she has an abiding sense of love and caring buried deep beneath her prickly exterior. Her crew means more to her than her own personal safety and dignity which shows just how much she’s willing to sacrifice. She’s ready to take the most humiliating punishments for the people she loves. Jalen’s an intriguing contradiction in terms. He has so many facets and secrets. He buries his physical longings, his emotions, his pain. He refuses to see what’s right in front of him. He constantly puts himself in harm’s way. He seems to have given up on living long ago. But has he really? These two are about as contradictory as two people can be. The suspense is unending. I never knew who was going to do what, their motivations, and what the end game was. As with all Ms. Dane’s books, the supporting characters are enchanting. Devan is as devious as they come. Crino is so entrenched in Naxian tradition he can’t see the forest for the trees. I loved Aya and the other temple maidens. And Lando is a delightfully unexpected character, full of charm and wit. One thing you may have noticed is I never mentioned the Commander’s name. Why? There’s a good reason, but you’ll have to read the book to find out. I truly loved this story. Congratulations, Ms. Dane! You’ve written yet another five-star winner!
One final note. Be an informed reader! This is an ADULT book. It contains explicit language and sexual scenes. If you don’t enjoy this genre, this may not be the book for you. There are book synopses and reviews available on Goodreads and Amazon. Use these resources. DON’T LEAVE A NEGATIVE REVIEW WHEN YOU KNOW YOU WON’T ENJOY THE BOOK. It’s not fair to the author. She works very hard to provide a quality work product. If you know you’ll object to the book’s subject matter before you buy it, you’re doing yourself and the author an extreme disservice.
Thanks for reading my review and happy reading!
