The Kindred Warrior’s Captive Bride
Needrix& Lan’ara
Evangeline Anderson takes us on an exciting journey just reading about the main characters of this book was so thrilling I felt that the story plot was well Written I wasn’t bored with this story. In fact I was on the edge of my seat rooting for the main characters and wondering where their journeys will leave them this book will keep you wanting to read more from this author once again another great read.
No spoilers but in my opinion if you give this book a chance you won’t regret it I love the fact that I can escape in this whole other world for a while I voluntarily read a advance reader copy in my opinion
Denial is a river
There are no guaranteed HEAs in life and that might also be true for this Kindred pair. From the moment I started reading, I just had to know what happened at the end. This is the first book in a long time where I felt the overwhelming urge to flip to the end and see if the characters reached their HEA, I resisted and I hope you do to while you are turning through the pages. The author pulled out all of the stops and took us through an emotional roller coaster as these two characters worked there way through unexpected emotions, danger untold, and expected outcomes. It is the unexpected that pulled me deeper and deeper into this story and would not let me go until I finally made it to the very end. This author just has a way with her writing that is fresh and new with every book, I really can’t wait to find out what happens next in her world of the Kindred.
I enjoyed reading this book , it has a good storyline. The interaction and chemistry between the characters of Lan’ara and Need is great, this book is entertaining and action packed, filled with adventure and intrigue. I can’t wait for more from this author. I received this book as a FREE ARC copy to read and I voluntarily leave this review.
Another fun fantasy in the world of Kindred warriors.
Needrix doesn’t want the pain of loving and losing another mate in his life. But he must save this young woman from the slave auction. Her danger is not over and neither is his…his being bonding with her while healing her wounds. Can these two find real life or be separated by lies and denial? You’ll be hoping it all works out for them. Perhaps the Goddess has a hand in this emotional battle.
Great story, I loved it.
Lan’ara a female with lots of courage and spirit. Getting abducted and Evil Trollex who wants to breed her. Need a Kindred Warrior who swears to never take a mate again. When these two characters cross paths and with the help of the goddess they both must learn that no matter what happened in their past its always a light at the end of tunnel which can bring new beginning and a chance for love. Evangeline Anderson wrote a great book and I can’t wait to read more of her stories
How Need and Lan’ara arrive at a slave market are stories filled with sadness and resolution.
What is experienced from that point and beyond is mind blowing.
It is a love story that gives the reader every feel – fear, determination, self preservation and lust are only a few.
The evolving of their relationship is one that is unforgettable!

When we board one of Evangeline Anderson’s Kindred ships, we know we’re in for an emotional space adventure. The Kindred Warrior’s Captive Bride takes the reader on just such a ride. It is an unpredictable journey for a hybrid Kindred and the captive he rescues from a slave market. In the preface, we are told the Hero Needrix is a hybrid Kindred and the Heroine Lan’ara is a sheltered, innocent girl raised in a finishing school and taught to be the perfect wife for a rich and influential man. Believing she would be leaving the next day to go to the Senator who had purchased her contract, Lan’ara has been injected with a Lust Bacterium. But she was stolen by pirates when they attacked her school and sold as a slave. These two come together at a rowdy slave auction. Needrix, who lost his young wife 10 years earlier, has sworn never to look at, touch, or even to be with another woman. Then he notices his disgusting crewmate bidding on her. Needrix cannot abandon Lan’ara to be purchased by Drung, a huge 3-headed Trollox, so he buys her to keep her safe.
OK, I hear you say, he will come to love her and claim her, and then I will have my Happily Ever After. But you cannot count Drung out nor can you allow Needrix to forget his ten years of grieving. Their flight aboard The Dark Star is not an easy one and not all goes as planned. Drung is determined to have Lan’ara to bear his heir, and Needrix is just as determined to keep her from Drung and take her to her original destination. Sound simple? Her family has been killed in a fire, the pirates burned her school to the ground, and her original buyer may no longer want her.
This Kindred novel would not let me put it down. I had to know the outcome of every twist and turn. If you have read any of the Ms. Anderson Kindred novels, you know you just cannot let this one go. If you have not, this one is a great place to start.

As my grandson says,OOOO NO! You have to hear it to understand, but it is very cute. Anyway this story is just unbelievable. The poor woman has been through HELL since her father died. My stomach is in turmoil over what is going on. It is an excellent story. Full of so much feeling and the author makes you feel everything that is going on. It can be long and drawn out or short and sweet. Or the other way around. The story is well worth the money to buy and it is one that you will keep coming back to and rereading and finding more every time you do.
I Personally love this kindred series. She writes of Romance and adventure. Of course it usually has Turmoil. These books are just fun.
I think the author did a wonderful job.
I always get excited to see a new book come out. This book will work fine as a stand-alone.
I love the chemistry between these two and love the author’s creativity that she brought to the book. This story will keep you on the edge of your seat and make you crave more.
Love Needrix and Lan’ara story They both face extreme hardships in their life and are at the point of just surviving. When Needrix saves her against his better judgment it throws them in a situation of having to help each other heal. I have read all of the kindred books and they keep just getting better!
I loved Need and Lanara’s story. They were so sweet and yet tried so hard to stay away from each other. Need had a tragic past and you really couldn’t blame him for trying to distance himself from women. When Kindred love, they love hard so we know it’s a difficult time for him. But who can resist Lanara in a time of need. This big Kindred has to save her and help her without getting caught up in her life, can he do it?
Loved this story, these Kindred stories never get old and always keep me on my toes. Can’t wait for more, I hope they never end!!

Another great kindred romance. He has vowed to never allow a female into his life or heart. But when he sees her on the auction block and the fear in her eyes he still starts to walk away. But the goddess is not having any of that. Need is a good male with a broken soul. But he refuses to see what is in front of him and will very well live the rest of his life without love. The ship he is part of has a very interesting mix of species and not all of the are meat creatures (term explained in story). Some are sweet and nice and others are downright disgusting. HEA is promised and you will love it.
Loved it! It had me from beginning to the end. I couldn’t put it down. Love going on the journey. Grab it.

Loved that it was multicultural. It never takes long for the story to pick up when I read her book. She has you in the edge of your seat as soon as you start reading and that’s why I read them all AND buy the audiobooks. Can’t wait for this audiobook to come out. I also like the hybrid kindred. They tend to be more rough around the edges! Loved!

The Kindred Warrior’s Captive Bride: A Kindred Tales PLUS Length Novel – Evangeline Anderson
This novel might be PLUS size but it was so good I could not put it down and finished it quicker than some novellas.
I love the way the author always has MC’s that have obstacles from their past, and present, which they must overcome.
Need fix is a Blood/Vision Kindred Warrior who lost his pregnant wife ten years prior. Losing his bond mate crushed him so they he stopped believing in The Goddess. Being a talented navigator he buries himself and his emotions working on a trader ship that sometimes has deals in “somewhat” legal items. He has vowed never to touch or love another he could not deal with the crushing pain ever again and he refused to be susceptible ever again.
Lan’ara sells herself as a young teenager to a finishing school “Twyleth Tigg Academy” to be trained as the perfect wife or concubine for rich important buyers. She did this to get money for her widowed mom and four younger brothers to survive. She has a good heart, is smart and brave although the school has trained her to become submissive and meek. She has learned some useful skills such as cooking, etc but yearns to be a free woman one day.
Pirates invade the school on graduation day and Lan’ara has been put on a cruel auction block. When Need sees the poor girl being bid on by horrible aliens he tries not to help but when his shipmate a disgusting creature with three heads, he decides to rescue her.
Need and Lan’ara have no idea she was injected at her graduation but “Lust Bacterium” to make her the perfect winning female to the Senator she was promised to. When this substance is activated Lan’ara has to have Need help her with the reactions.
Need finds himself torn between his vow and growing feelings for Lan’ara. Lan’ara has been forced to do what she can to survive, she’s been traumatized by the whole pirate abduction event. Now she finds her feeling toward Need growing very strong if only he would return them.
This small summery is just the overview of an exciting amazing storyline that is about love, the strength to overcome life’s hurdles and the strength to move on and live life in the present.
This authors special flair for authors sizzling scenes that fit into the storyline does not disappoint.
It was great how the MFC discovered she had so many talents and abilities to help her blossom into the independent woman she longs to become. Need was stubborn but in the end he had to pull himself out of the past and embrace love and the future.
Another fantastic addition to the Kindred series. I truly enjoyed Needrix and Lan’ara story. I especially liked Lan’ara courage and spirit. The story was filled with plenty of intrigue and adventure. Overall a enjoyable and entertaining read looking forward to seeing what else is in store for Kindred series. I received a free copy via booksprout I voluntarily read and review this ARC no monetary compensation was received and the opinions I have expressed are my own.
Ms. Anderson immerses us in the stars! She truly transports you into the culture of her characters. Very great and can’t wait to read more about my favorite “aliens”–the Kindred!

Too much of the same character’s thoughts, very repetitive. An easy read cause I skipped over the basic same sentences.
