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.

Beast: A Dark Alien Romance
Flippen PHENOMENAL!
These two write engaging stories that bring in a unique ability to transport the reader into these worlds! It is explosive what these two create! I am so in love with the Reapers! Not only do they all have heart but it shows within the pages that you get exactly what they are! They are determined and tactile but each has shown that they feel. This book takes us on a journey with Talia a Rebel leader and a Sister in the Order of the Raith ‘Pa. She is worthy and she is this reapers equal in all things; and Orlok who is a Reaper and a warrior monk that knows Talia is his mate but yet is willing to battle with her to prove his worthiness and want. This is a very pronounced visual story with lots of realistic entities that allow the reader to travel to and within this universe! Wonderfully written and one that I HIGHLY recommend!!!!

Talia is part of the rebellion forces trying to fight the Reapers. She is forced to surrender to Orlok, the leader of the Reapers on this planet in order to save the lives of those under her. He turns out to be her fated mate, but she still contacts the Helios Combine for a rescue, but ends up causing an attack. Great read!

Lots of humor… plot kicks into high gear late in the story…
This story is very character-centric, something I happen to enjoy. Heavy on humor, and characters avoiding the important aspects of a relationship, with hopes they won’t get in too deep.
The story evolves into a good tale of trust, the importance of communication, looking beyond the surface, and recognizing people’s strengths.
I have enjoyed each story I’ve read in the Athenaverse, and look forward to reading more.

These Vakutan men make me scream with laughter. They are so cocky and arrogant and Vyker is one of the worst, I especially love how they refer to humans as “squishy”. Vyker could have a good future in his career but he is way too hard on his recruits and that could put an end to his career if he can’t find a way to soften up. His commanding officer arranges a companion for him. Vyker is determined to treat her so badly that she leaves but he doesn’t bargain on their instant chemistry and the way that Penny makes him feel. I really liked Penny, she is a survivor who has done whatever is necessary to survive and becoming a companion was her latest attempt at survival and even though the agency didn’t exactly think she was an ideal candidate Vyker’s commanding officer thought her fire and spunk were exactly what Vyker needs. I loved the characters and the story was well-written and entertaining.

Vyker is the best drill instructor the Alliance has. Unfortunately he tends to be a little intense, and after his new class of recruits all end up passing out, his commanding officer gives him an ultimatum. Take a bride from the companion program or find a new job. Penny has been a wrestler and an acrobat and now is trying to get by with the money she receives as a person displaced by the ongoing war. The companion program is her chance for something better. Neither Vyker nor Penny expects anything good to happen and are quite surprised when they like each other. Now they just have to work through their pasts and some unexpected drama. I received an advance copy of this book and voluntarily left a review.

Vyker and Penny are basically the last resort for the other. He has been given an ultimatum-take a bride or give up his commission. He chooses the latter thinking he can easily get rid of her with his winning personality. Penny is down on her luck and decides that joining a brides program. Her training isn’t going as planned and she is on the verge of flunking out. She is saved from the hot seat by Vyker’s boss. Their match is set until a certain pair of cold feet cause problems. Another great read in the Athena Storm world.

Penny is not gonna be runoff by Vyker. She has her survivor and his little underhanded stuff that is funny yet ridiculous. He just needs to come to terms that he needs to meet. She is made. Stop resisting and figure it out. Love the book and all the stuff that went on. Added to the rest of the crazy books that have been in this series and it fits right in. Enjoyed it. A must read.

Vyker trains recruits at the academy and loves women. His boss thinks him to hard and orders an arranged marriage. Penny is a “bride to be” but not a very good one. She is to go to Vyker. Penny has spirit and fight in her and Vyker likes that. An attraction begins. They make a deal and have a contest. Which Penny wins. Maybe it won’t be so bad after all. Penny makes changes in Vyker’s life and he actually likes them. Things are going well until she starts to doubt everything. Penny leaves but Vyker is not letting her go. He barely sneaks aboard the ship she is on. Reaper pirates attack the ship. Between Penny and Vkyer they fight there way out of that situation with a little help. How will it all end? Loved the book and ending.
Clever tiny human Penny and beastly Vyker. Love how these two fight together. They steam things up majorly too. Nice story amidst very graphic scenes, they sure are active. Continuing saga to this long standing war.
