What’s the deal with a mob princess like myself and a gorgeous alien warrior like Jave?Well…it’s complicated. At first he was just Mr. Right Now.But I’ve got this feeling he COULD be my Mr. Right…If you can get past the fact that he’s an alien.And a shapeshifter.And part of the Alliance military.And likely to want to put some or all of my family in prison.But he’s also a genuinely decent man.… in prison.
But he’s also a genuinely decent man.
That’s as rare as anything in this galaxy.
But I am who I am.
The insurmountable obstacle here is the fact that he’s on the side of law and order, and I’m the heir to a criminal empire.
It doesn’t help matters at all that he rocked my world in a way I’ll never forget…
And…a repeat performance could probably put that one to shame…
8 feet tall. 10 pack abs. Over 400 pounds of muscle….
In fact, you know what? Screw this…
I need to go see him.
Mr. Right Now just became Mr. Right Right Now.
So yeah, it’s complicated.
Jave is the fifth book within the Marauder Mates series set in the Athenaverse. It can be read as a standalone, but it shares the same universe that you’ve found in other books. This book features a romance of an alpha male alien warrior, a smart, sassy human woman. Expect to see characters you’ve come to love pop in during the story. No cheating and HEA guaranteed!

Athena has written a story that draws you in and has it where you can’t put the kindle down. This is a serious version of star crossed lovers, between human and alien, it is also the Mobster Princess and the good guy Copper.

This is a pretty large world that this author has built. It took some time to get immersed in this book because I have not read the previous books. It is largely standalone since the character separates from the group early on. I liked corny jokes thrown in and the little bits of humor helped to add fun to the perilous situation.

Love the attitude/sense of humor….
This entire series is written with a tone/attitude/laugh out loud sense of humor that keeps the pages turning. Cyrl is a mob princess, who happens to be a hostage, politely referred to as a foster daughter, to ensure her father’s loyalty. If that doesn’t offer an insight into the interesting tangled web that character comes from… nothing else will. She is trapped, and knows it, yet retains a strength, and determination to build the best possible life she can within her “prison” walls. Even when Jave suggests she could try escaping her prison she doesn’t consider it… there is a reason no one has ever heard about the mob pension plan or retirement program.
I loved Jave finding himself… did he want to blend in, or be seen? Did he want to take on solo missions, or was he part of this team for a reason? His journey of self-discovery was unexpected, yet refreshing.
This done in one stand alone quick read ties into other stories, and is enriched by them, but can be read alone and reaches a satisfying conclusion. It does go a step further and tease who we can hope will be a player in the penetrators next adventure.

Being an undercover Shapeshifter who is supposed to be a my prince who has amnesia is probably then one of the most difficult assignment Jave has had. He’s to impersonate Kurr. The problem is cars dead. But they need car as a bargaining chip to get a teleporter that got into the wrong hands. Our wacky inventor, from one of our previous books, has let his creation get underfoot. Cyrl is staying at her “uncles” house. Cyrl’s been there since her mother died years ago. That’s not the point the fact of the matter is that is soon as she Jave leave the prison were no person is ever supposed to leave knows that he’s an imposter. They’ve been friends since they were kids and there’s certain things that she knows that of course with amnesia he doesn’t have a clue about. These are pretty good characters. I left in some situations because these two crazy kids are attracted to each other and because he is a shape shifter, she sometimes slips and hast to fix whatever she says. And he vice versa. Because he is not to talk about the name of the mob family just said it is called “the family business“. Jave sometimes forgets it. But with all this mishaps him and his team or trying to not cause havoc. But of course they do. This was definitely a standalone there was a couple characters who were mentioned from the previous books but nothing really in great detail just a background. It was a funny and steamy action packed story. Definitely enjoyed

Jave is book five in the series Marauder Mates by author Athena Storm. Intriguing story of characters who couldn’t possibly fall for each.
She hates violence, even though her world is surrounded by it. He is violence, a warrior, a soldier- with a secret.
Oh by the way you should never say never to fate!! She’ll smack you upside your noggin. (wink)
Enjoy!!

Jave picks the short straw and has to penetrate the Nine’s defenses in disguise to get a Very Important piece of equipment back. He goes in in diguise and meets Cyrl, a guest/hostage of the Nine. Did I mention that Jave is a (ahem) master of disguise? Naturally, he and Cyrl hook up and the games begin!
This is a rollicking story (how could it not be with this crew??) that moves quickly and insanely. You will love it!
This author delivers another solid sci-fi romance with a nice sexy Alien to enjoy. I really look forward to her next!

This is my first book in this series, but it won’t be my last. It’s a lighter series than some of her other books, which if you’re looking for something lighter but still wonderfully written, it’s perfect. Jave feels the need to prove himself, he feels (and it’s with merit) that he’s overlooked in his crew. So he jumps at this mission- which allows him to show off an ability that he has, that is simply awesome! He ends up meeting his other half. We first meet her when she’s riding a flying horse- so cool! They truly are perfect together- neither quite fits in, but together, they fit. And yes, there’s action, a plot, etc- but the most important part, there’s a HEA.

This was a good book. In the previous books you thought you knew something about Jave but he had everyone fooled. Cyrl made him want to come clean with his true self. Not sure I understood Cyrl because she lived in that world, knew what happens and still had the mindset she did but love changes everything. I can say I was surprised with this new revelation in the Athenaverse.

Jave is the odd man out on the Penetrator, being the only one with no wife. He is also feeling very underappreciated! When General Dowron asks him to impersonate Deveel’s son in order to steal back the Zerberu Relocator that was stolen, Jave is happy to finally be asked to help! Deveel’s son was sent to the prison planet of Jurtik. Deveel is using the Relocator to force the Alliance to return his son. Unfortunately his son is dead, so Jave must pull off playing the son in order to find the Relocator. Of course, Cyrl is the one to see through Jave’s disguise and confront him. He admits the truth to her and seeks her help. Of course, Deveel has double crossed the Alliance and has no plans to return the Relocator. He has moved it to another planet and has set up an auction to sell it. A fight breaks out during the auction and bullets start flying. Jave grabs Cyrl and jumps into the Relocator to save her, and shoots them off to the last coordinates. Unfortunately it’s a jungle covered planet. Jave and Cyrl adjust to life there and are actually enjoying just being themselves with no outside pressure.
In the meantime, Deveel has destroyed the Relocator, rather than have someone take it during the shootout! He goes to Teranus and holds Zerberu and his wife captive until Zerberu makes him another one. They have cut off all entrance and escape from the planet, so the only help is from the Penetrator, which was already on the planet looking for Jave. Kleid and Zylan find Jave and Cyrl and return to the Penetrator to come up with a plan to rescue Zerberu and his wife. And rescue them they do, as only the Penetrators can!

Jave by Athena Storm.
What’s the deal with a mob princess like myself and a gorgeous alien warrior like Jave?
Well…it’s complicated.
At first he was just Mr. Right Now.
But I’ve got this feeling he COULD be my Mr. Right…
If you can get past the fact that he’s an alien.
And a shapeshifter.
And part of the Alliance military.
And likely to want to put some or all of my family in prison.
I really enjoyed this book. I love this author. I love the cover too. Looking forward to reading more from this author. 5*.
Book five of the Marauder Mates series a well written story that kept me turning pages, this series just gets better with each new book. Cyrl and Jave’s story there is suspense, drama, danger, twists, turns, courage, villains, and romance. I want to read the next book. Who is the Liaison?

As always Athena Storm hits it out of the park. This is a stand-alone story in her series, which is written within her galaxy of storylines. We get to see the inside workings of a galaxy-wide mob (The Nine) and how its members are people too. This world gets mixed up with the ongoing war efforts when it discovers a highly sought after device. The adventures and love start there and go through challenges to finally get to the HEA for the main two characters.
This is the story of Jave and Cyrl. Jave is asked to go on a mission to retrieve the Relocator that Daveel is going to auction off. He is pretending to be Daveel’s son to get the relocator. Only Cyrl, a bored mob princess sees through Jave’s deception. Now these two will embark on an adventure that is full of danger, the unknown, and romance. I received an arc of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Another good read full of action, plot, romance and suspense. I received an ARC copy and am voluntarily leaving a review.
