He’ll claim every inch of me until I belong completely to him. Maru. He says I’m his.He’s bought my contract. Brought me to his world. He expects certain things. And he won’t take no for an answer. I can already tell in his eyes. How they covet me with each move I make. He’s going to wrap his big, thick arms around me. He’ll claim me as his in front of all his people. Overpower me.Overwhelm me.I … his in front of all his people.
Overpower me.
Overwhelm me.
I will lose myself in him.
Nothing of me will remain. It will all belong to him.
Everything I am. Everything I was.
Will be his.

Book four in the Brides to Beasts series a well written story that kept me turning pages. This is human Reina and Maru’s story my favorite part was when they are talking with his parents at the end. There is suspense, drama, danger, twists, turns, villains, and romance. I want to read more in this series. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Finally , A story about a real couple. A man who is masculine but not a beast and a woman is femnine yet strong. Who doesn’t have to be dominant or a simpering slave.
The book starts a little confusing as usual as you see where they fit into the athenaverse but strengthens quickly with activity and action that continues to the end.
If I have time I would like to read in the books in a row to keep better track of the wole universe

Athena Storm deserves five gold stars for her creative worlds she so magical writes about in each of her books I’ve read.
I really enjoyed the banter between Maru an Reina their relationship really revved up with a little voyeurism and a lot of smoldering kinky sex.

Super book
This book had it all…action, romance, and of course, mating. It takes getting used to when you go from understanding, if not liking, the Reapers (Julianna and Goran in Caged Prey) to wanting to see them get their due in this book, but with a kick-@$$ heroine like Reina, you can’t help but change sides. Maru isn’t too bad, either, once Reina gets her hands on him, and between the two of them, you won’t be able to put this book down.

Maru is the scion of one of the wealthiest and most powerful families in the sector. He’s also in the Alliance Military undergoing punishing training under Vyker and is Not Happy About It. But his parents think it will bring them more money and power to have military ties, so there he is sweating it out. The worst thing is that he is confined to the academy and can’t go out partying every night, so he decides to contract with a Companion.
Reina is a Companion trainee whose headmistress doesn’t think she is (or ever will be) ready for a Contract, but Reina insists. When she meets Maru, it’s a very polite battle for supremacy. Who will win??? And the adventures ahead of them bring out their best!
I loved this book, from start to finish, this book is a winner. Maru is a cadet being trained by Vyker (good to catch with him) and decides to enter a contact for a human companion, enter Reina. The chemistry between the two of them starts off slowly but grows into a steamy, hot and passionate relationship. The big bad wolves in this book are Maru’s parents who do their best to run Reina off. Reina does leave for a tine and becomes a saviour in her own right when the Reapers attack. Loved the interaction and humour that is played out by Maru’s classmates too. Thoroughly enjoyed reading this book.

I cannot stop gushing about how amazing this story is. It was incredibly well written and I loved it. I found the characters to be well written and this world is so well crafted and vivid that you can clearly visualize it.

Exciting fast read as Maru meets his match in his unexpected companion. I received a free copy of this book. This review was posted voluntarily.
A rich, attractive and totally spoiled Alzhon playboy, that’s how Maru was. This future leader of a multimillion-dollar dynasty, had his head full of smoke and it seems that not even the military training academy in Barakus could straighten him. Looking for a way to get away with it in the academy, Maru asked for a Companion contract. Surprise! Beautiful, brilliant, ambitious, fiercely independent and no without her own flaws Reina Vano had her own designs of what she wanted, and she was ready to put a little work to get it. But as often happens, when things started working everything suddenly changed. Chaos through the four corners! Parents, Razors and fight for your lives because this is the end! Enjoyed how the plot development escalated with exciting and intense twists that had me reading eagerly. Anything could happen and Maru and Reina showed what they were made of. The story had action, suspense, intriguing characters, violence, scary scenes, romance and a lot of heated passion. Maru had his swing and Reina, her Companions secrets! Another side of the aliens that I enjoyed.
Well I have been reading books by Athena Storm for a while now and let me say “Maru” was a lovely fast read. It kept me reading till the end. Once I started I could not put down.
