About this listen
**THE FIRST BOOK IN THE COMPLETED RENASCENCE ALLIANCE SERIES**
HUMANS ARE THE MOST ADORABLE CREATURES IN THE GALAXY.
Everyone says so.
Is it such a surprise that an Alpha Imperial Warship would take human prisoners?
Most definitely, everyone knows, the Alliance never takes prisoners.
Once onboard, the crew of the Dakota are casually informed that human women from the crew are now shockingly considered to be Alliance citizens by the Empire. Moreover, they will be returning to the Alliance homeworld.
This was completely unexpected. What is even more bewildering is Captain Kara Rainer’s instant infatuation with the alien admiral who captured her and coerced her into marrying him. And her passion does not stop with him, but she also becomes enamored by an alien female onboard who supplies her with information and attention.
WHEN THE CHANCE TO ESCAPE COMES, WILL KARA TAKE IT OR STAY WITH HER ALIEN HUSBAND?
Enter this alien world and follow these human women of the late 26th century to the Alliance Empire, a matriarchal society where women have always ruled, but Alliance men have always dominated their hearts. There are few heroes or women being rescued. Instead, listeners are led through complex traditions of an alien culture: mazes of alien courting rituals, obedience to strict religious codes, and often uncomfortable compromises, all while chasing romance and marriage. Every door is open in the Renascence Alliance, and an overarching story is intertwined throughout the series, but it is not necessary to listen to the books chronologically to enjoy the romance of each individual book.
Note to Listeners: If you are mostly here for the science fiction, please move on to the other books in the series, beginning with Book 2, Married to the Alien Doctor, which is also a standalone and starts the series almost in the exact same place as Book 1.
Each book in the Renascence Alliance Series is about a different woman. Therefore each woman has wildly different expectations from the aliens in their lives within the confines of the Alliance Empire.

Story
A year ago, I reluctantly erased my true other half’s memories of our time together. She said that if we were truly meant to be married, our souls would find each other again. Now, I’ve illegally traveled to Earth and have found her alone in a secluded cabin. I only have a few days to convince her of who I am to her. But the odds are against me. She didn’t recognize me on sight, no longer has a translator, and sees me as an alien. But I refuse to give up. There is no one else for me in the galaxy.

I was a workaholic executive—until I almost died. It took a near-death experience to get my priorities straight, And I knew big changes had to be made. Priority #1 was spending more time with my kids and mother, So I quit my job and bought a beach house on Cape Cod. With the sun on my face and my toes in the sand, I met one of the beach rangers, Who turned out to be the hot single dad next door. Dylan helped me move some furniture, And I offered him dinner to thank him for his trouble— Not knowing it would end with dessert.

Excellent Story!
This audio re-recorded version of Married to the Alien Admiral is an excellent first immersive journey into the society that is the Alliance matriarchal world of the 26th century.
Having read the e-book edition I also enjoyed this audio version as narrated by Jill Smith whose transitions from male/female voices was smooth and well done.
I usually don’t enjoy single voice narrations but this artist was exceptional in keeping me in the stories flow and enjoying the adventure of MFC Captain Kara Rainer and MMC Admiral Tir.
After the Admiral captures her ship the Dakota and its crew, then coerces her into marrying him the intrigue, action, politics, and passion heats up!.

Enemies To Lovers In Spaaaaace
Gleeful Goblin Review: This is very, very much an enemy to lovers filth fest for about the first two hours of this audiobook and in between sessions you can see the characters posturing against each other. There's especially a lot of friction from a religious standpoint since religion is an absolute and fairly restrictive structure in Alliance citizens lives. I'd say that this book has more "dark" elements than you'd anticipate based on the cover but with the enemies to lovers piece there are also some elements of d/s even with the Alliance being a matriarchy as well as edgíng and exhibitionísm/voyuerísm. Not a bad thing or a complaint but definitely something to be aware of if you're thinking you'll be getting a sweet alien romance because noooooot exactly. What you do get is an interesting setting/world building and fairly compelling characters who have to learn if and how their lives fit together while in the midst of a war.

The Price of Battle . . .
As war raged across the projection screen, Admiral Tir of the Alliance Alpha Warship Refa told Captain Zan to save the humans, keeping in mind the Empire’s current shortage of women. They brought the small human starship Dakota into one of their docking bays and sent guards and a medic to assist. When Admiral Tir could not find Captain Kara Rainer in the brig, he went to sick bay. She had been struck on the head and was recovering. Tir didn’t like that their captain was unguarded in his sickbay. She had been a menace to the Alliance’s supply ships during this war. Even in direct battle, when she should have kept her inferior little ship in hiding, she showed superior strategical skills and bravery. Who knew what this human captain was capable of if left unguarded on his ship! He stood over Kara, knowing she was not actually asleep, and began talking. Aware that the Alliance never took prisoners, Kara was trying to figure what he really wanted from her crew.
When Tir had her brought to him, he told her half the crew would return to Earth after promising not to participate further in the war. The other half were now Alliance Citizens and would be sent to Capital Planet in the Alliance Empire. So that the other women would be willing to marry Alliance men, he told Kara that she would be first. She would marry a man of his choosing this night or he would kill her male crew. Then she was taken to his room to wash and dress for her wedding. He went to the Shrine in the ship and asked the goddess of home for guidance – and she told him he was to marry the human and would find his destiny through Kara. What would the future bring to them? She was even then plotting how to steal a ship and escape. Would she learn to love the man chosen for her?
This was an interesting story line that gave the reader a great deal of description to make the world around the characters seem real. The characters were also described in detail and Kara’s strength and resolve was admirable. Once her male crew members were safely away and not used to force her to comply, she would take steps to turn everything around in her favor. I hope the Admiral knows to hold on because this feisty female is about to take him on a roller coaster ride he may not survive! The narrator for the audiobook version, Jill Smith, brings the “reading” experience alive for the listener. She does a good job with the voices to personalize the story and make it easy for the listener to get an accurate impression of what each character is like. It helps to set the mood, familiarize the reader with the characters, and offers a pleasant way to “read” and enjoy the book.

Super Fun Listen
This was really interesting to listen too. I love Sci-fi romances, and this one was top notch. The concept of this book was so cool, “aliens” coming to take humans and a woman finding and marrying one of them. It’s a really good story, and the person reading was really good. It made it so much more enjoyable to listen to it.

Married to the Alien Admiral*by Alma Nilsson is an entertaining mix of sci-fi, romance, and cultural clash. The story follows Captain Kara Rainer, a human who’s captured by an alien Empire and unexpectedly thrust into a marriage with their Admiral. The twist? The alien society is matriarchal, yet men dominate in romance. The audiobook, narrated by Jill Smith, brings the characters and the complex alien culture to life, with engaging voices and a smooth pace. The plot offers plenty of steamy, explicit moments, but it also explores deeper themes like power dynamics and cultural traditions. Kara’s dilemma—whether to escape or embrace her new life—adds a layer of emotional depth. If you enjoy sci-fi with mature romance and don’t mind a little forced-marriage trope, this audiobook is an intriguing start to the Renascence Alliance series.

Married to the Alien Admiral
The first Audible story in the Renascence Alliance series. Human Captain Kara Rainer and alien Admiral Tir's steamy story of two people from different cultures and what they had to overcome to be together. The Audible book held my interest as Jill Smith narrated their story.

Very Spicy
This is the second book by Alma Nilsson, that I have enjoyed. Her writing is fantastic and keeps me coming back for more. The characters are strong-willed and not at all self-deprecating; which I find is common in a lot of romance/erotic novels. Speaking of erotica, it was very spicy. The description of what they were doing and how the voice actor performed the material.... no complaints here.

Tir and Kara
Story: Captain Kara (h) a capable and independent human officer who is captured, along with her starship and crew, by Admiral Tir (H) of the Alliance Empire during a mission gone awry. Tir captures Kara and her crew with the intention of using the human women to revitalize the Alliance’s dwindling population. Faced with the threat of harm to her crew, Kara reluctantly agrees to marry Tir, igniting a complex relationship. While Kara harbors resentment and plans for escape, she and Tir develop a reluctant yet deep connection, influenced by Tir’s belief that their union is fated by the Alliance gods. Kara finds herself balancing survival, loyalty to Earth, and an undeniable connection to Tir. Her journey takes her from reluctant bride to a woman navigating the fine line between love and captivity, But Kira is determined to escape back to Earth, only to find herself questioning whether Earth wants her or not, and if it's where she truly belongs. Steamy alien-human romance, exploring connection, resilience, loyalty, roles, sacrifices, adjustments, commitment, cultural differences, and unexpected alliances in the face of impossible choices. I'm a little bemused that some reviewers find the use of anatomically correct terms to be out of place in romance - personally I think that we're just conditioned, at least in US society, that using those terms is somehow taboo, and that euphemisms and/or slang are more appropriate.
Audio Narrator Jill Smith does a great job with female voices, and a really good job with male voices. I personally prefer duet style narration where a female narrator is used to voice female voices, and a male narrator for male voices - but I've come to appreciate Smith who's voice works well, even for male voices. Audio quality is good and there were no issues.
