He’s a beast who devours. And me?I’m his supper.War tore me from home and dumped me on Novaria. My only hope lies in pleasing a brute.I’m sent to him as a tribute. I have one chance to entice him. Only one shot to win his good graces. The thing is…I’m not such an innocent waif myself. I’m used to men who hurt me. That take my heart and rip it to shreds. So the first touch of kindness from this … it to shreds.
So the first touch of kindness from this scaly alien has me on edge.
What is he preparing me for?
How is he going to wound me?
We’re two twisted hearts.
Warped and ruined by a galaxy at war.
All we know is death and violence.
Maybe there’s a good person underneath our hurt.
Or maybe we’re just all broken.
But I know this.
Given a choice, there’s nowhere I’d rather be now.
Than be broken and leashed by my beast.
My love.
Leashed By The Beast explores a darker and grittier side of the Athenaverse. It can be read as a standalone, but it still shares the same universe that you’ve found in other books. This book features a dark romance of an alpha male alien warrior, and a human woman. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and HEA guaranteed.

Vyker is a Vakutan in charge of training the new recruits for the Alliance Forces on Felora VI. He is a no nonsense, no frills kind of guy. When he gets called into his superiors office (Luz) and reprimanded for being too hard on the new recruits, he is given a choice. Resign his commission or take a bride from the Companions Outreach Program. He is horrified by either choice, but decides to take the bride, secretly deciding he will just run her off with his bad behavior.
Penny is a survivor from the planet of Armstrong. She is barely surviving and decides to join the Companions Outreach Program. She is almost flunking out when she is called in to “perform” for Luz as a possible bride for Vyker. She manages to set the kitchen on fire and insult her trainer who kicks her out of the program. Luz thinks she is hysterical and has spunk, which she will need for Vyker, and takes her. This is her last chance at any kind of future and she is determined to succeed!
Well, sparks definitely fly when the two meet, but after several skirmishes they decide they like each other and want to try and make it work. Everything is going well, until Penny get “cold feet” and flee’s the planet. Vyker races after her when he finds her gone and stow’s away on the transport vehicle she is on. Of course, the ship is commandeered by the dreaded “Reapers” so Vyker must rescue Penny. A funny and quick moving story. You will fall in love with both of these characters!

Let’s just say I was leashed to this book until I finished it.
Vyker is just over the top, meant to be ridden and a hard task master. Ladies line up to be trained.
It takes a special kind of woman to keep his attention, are you up for the job?
It was a pretty pleasurable read.

Another book from the Athenaverse with a new set of characters for me. This time, a human woman and a Vakutan drill instructor face off with the Reapers, a form of vicious space pirates from the Badlands. Join Penny and Vyker on an adventure where they find themselves and love.
Athena’s books are always great. Vyker a military rough man meets his match in Penny a companion for him. But she gives him a run for his money. She bests him at every turn. And he doesn’t like it then he does. The chemistry between them is oh so hot.

This so funny and great writing 10 stars. Awesome story
Great book! Funny even, a spitfire of a human with a 7foot talk alien drill instructor. Crazy, but a good read!

Loved this new addition to the series. The initial contact between Vyker and Penny was exceptionally well written in that they jab at each other. Penny is no push over and this is something Vyker is not used to. She stands her ground and actually beats him in their first mock battle. Unable to accept that he just might want to keep her as his bride, she leaves and he follows. There is danger from space pirates but they out wit them until help arrives. There is a HEA but a lot happens first. This is a great read and I would highly recommend it.
