Escape to a barbarian planet!
Revisado: 11-04-24
This was a great audiobook to listen to, and I couldn't put it down! Each book in the trilogy had me gripped in its sway until the end of the book (and a realization I'd stayed up way too late listening). The heroines stuck in unpredictable situations are feisty but need the assistance and protection of the alien males that end up in the right place at the right time. Definitely enjoyed the narrator's expressive voice and the different tones, pitches, and accents used to indicate different characters.
I marked the series down only because there were some passages that seemed overly complex, enough so it kicked me out of the flow of the story. The first one I think I noted was during the first book's first mating of the pair; the emotions were being expressed in such complicated and flowery prose that I lost track of the thread of passion. Bigger words aren't necessarily better words, and I think the author got into the swing of things further along in each book. It was enough to make me write a note, so it dinged the rating a star. If it hadn't been a critical scene (first mating), I don't think it would've been as bad a mental hurdle. Both point-of-view characters are well spoken but not overly so in the rest of the novels, so the addition of purple prose in a critical scene felt worse than it necessarily might be anywhere else in the plot.
Despite only four stars, I definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good science fiction setting. The planet, the spaceships, and the tech (until they get stuck on a barbarian planet, anyway) are all top notch, and I think Ivy Sparks has a real talent for worldbuilding. Alien males aren't all that different from human men in it, for all their larger size and cosmetic details, but that only builds on the necessary protector/protected nature of the pairs. I recommend this series and all of Ivy Sparks' books!.

I’m a space pirate, and that means I’m used to finding myself in some pretty hairy situations. But getting abducted and imprisoned inside a remote experimental lab? Yeah, I think this takes the cake. Then there’s my neighbor in the cell next door, Xavier. Despite being a smoking hot alien, he’s a brooder with a pronounced contempt for pirates like me. But that distaste can’t hide the look in his eyes when I’m forced to shower in front of him.

Powerful Pairing, More Possible
Revisado: 07-30-24
It's hard to beat a pair of aliens who meet in captivity and kick off the romance, the sex, and the fleeing for their lives all in the same encounter. These two have such a strong foundation. Having their bond started without their choice felt like it ought to have meant more to them, but once they were together, everything else was a side note. I liked running into favorite characters from the last book, too. I'm kinda sad there seemed to be quick fixes to some of their bigger problems, like throwing the monkey wrench in a skirt at the defense cannon. Big problems could use bigger solutions than these seemed to be.

I expected something to go wrong during this expedition but I didn't expect him. This planet was supposed to be unpopulated. Well, someone needs to be fired, because there are freaking barbarians here! And they aren't exactly friendly. But then there's Garath. He's different from the rest. There's something about his devilish horns, his striking tattoos, and his possessive stare that sets my body on fire.

Enjoyable Exoplanet Romp
Revisado: 07-21-24
I loved this. I was a little worried the "oh no, I'm a human lost on a strange planet" would be too much for the story to handle, but it was dealt with gracefully (by author and voice artist both). Garath and Daphne butt heads from the moment of his rescuing her to the very end and its bonus epilogue. Science versus tribal civilization, blushing beauty versus horned and tattooed alien. I enjoyed the two sides of the narration, the perspective changing from a tech-minded human woman lost in a jungle she was ready to study but perhaps not quite so up close to the barbarian warrior prince with his desire to do the right thing by his mate, even if what he thinks that might be is thick-headed stupidity on his part. She has to catch up from being the brilliant protege safely in her mentor's shadow pretty darned quick, but with a massive muscled hunk to keep her safe, maybe it's not so bad? I liked their mixed messages, not so much as to be true miscommunication (which might have been a little much given how differing these two were), but rather trying to do their best and not really knowing how to bridge the gap between them. I enjoyed the story and I think anyone looking for a scifi romantic fling would enjoy Garath and Daphne's story.
