Publisher's summary

Ashe is in trouble with a capital T.

As merchandise heading to an intergalactic auction, Ashe’s future looks grim. So when a too-sexy-for-his-own-good alien outlaw solicits her help to break them out of lockup, she jumps on the chance. Ashe only needs to survive long enough with the known criminal to get her end of the bargain: freedom. She trusts the clawed and fanged Tallean warrior to keep her safe, but who will keep her safe from him?

A Tallean mercenary claims what he wants, and he wants her!

As captain of an infamous mercenary vessel, Zeylum carefully crafts his dastardly reputation with crass words and a brutish exterior. But the little human triggers his need to own and protect, and Zey finds himself bonded to the one female he promised to let free.

Will Ashe look past his rough facade and fall for the male beneath? Because now that he’s had a taste of his mate, he will never let her go!

Feisty heroine, growly mercenary, and lots of action ahead. HEA guaranteed!

An Adventure She Wasn’t Expecting

Ashe & Zeylum’s story is a prime example of something wonderful happening as a result of something awful, and rolling with whatever life throws at you. Ashe being abducted from Earth & finding herself on a spaceship on the way to an unknown life should be the craziest of all think going on in her life. When Zeylum, a Tallean, is thrown in her cell & wants to work together to escape, she has to decide if she’s willing to take that chance. That leap leads to more than just her freedom, and the journey they go on together is exciting ride full of chemistry, humor, and lots of action. One of my favorite SFR series because Lynnea always delivers on sweet emotions & touching romance…she just does it with alpha alien males lol. Troy does an amazing job (as usual) at being this story to life. Hearing Zeylum come to life was sooooo good…I think I just about melted in my seat 😝🥰 I really hope Troy is doing the other books in the series too, because he captured their Tallean personalities PERFECTLY 🙌🏻 Really can’t wait for more audiobooks in this series ❤️

Loved this story!

A Deal for Zeylum is the first book of the Tallean Mercenaries series and a steamy, action packed adventure that has transitioned to audio with the sensual narration of Troy Duran.
Zeylum, Captain of the pirate vessel Defiant has been captured while on a solo supply run.
Caged along with human female Ashe, she to be sold at an intergalactic auction, they both agree to work together on a plan of escaping the enemy vessel which includes a deal for Zeylum to bring Ashe to a safe haven on Reka 5.
Escape they do but it doesn’t go through with out a few hitches that force them into closer contact with each other that soon turns into much more.
Lots of intrigue, suspense, and danger will follow that keeps the story fast paced and thrilling.
I loved this story and enjoyed the audio version that sweeps the listener into a story that flowed as smooth as silk and harnessed all the emotional impact of a Sci-Fi Romance that didn’t lose any of it’s power in the audio telling.

Well done!

I Love Lynnea's Tallean Mercenaries series. I grabbed the audio and at first, not gonna lie, was concerned with there being just one narrator. I've been spoiled with dual lately lol. But I was pleasantly surprised at the fact that I didn't miss the dual narrators (male/female). It was very well done. The story is full of action and romance and a HEA. You can't go wrong if you grab this audiobook!

Wonderfully fabulous

Ash, human abdutee, is strong, stubborn, determined woman that enthralled her alien hero until he could no longer allowed himself to be separated from her.
Zeylun, a mercenary warrior/pirate, felt protective of Ash from the moment he met her in a Dominion cell as captives.
Wonderful characters, steamy,,dangerous, adventurous, action filled, sassy human, protective alien, pirates and mercenaries, evil controlling government, and a HEA.


The audio book is done very well. The narrator has a deep soothing voice that captures you as you listen to the story. You can imagine Zetlun voice sounding so deviously deep as the narrator's.

Space Pirate adventure

Ashe is kidnapped from Earth and Zey is an alien space pirate that is captured and thrown in the cells with all the other kidnapped victims. Ashe and Zey must learn to trust each other if they are going to escape and survive. Very good read, I enjoyed both the written version and the audio version.

Action-packed!

This story brings both the heat and the action! I loved Zeylem and Ashe’s story; with its escapes, kidnapping and rescue spicy times, what’s not to love. This is the first in a series of standalones in a new universe - the rest of the stories are just as good, but there’s always something about your first - wink wink….

Great series by a great storyteller narrated by a swoon-worthy narrator.

Ashe was abducted by aliens and is on her way to become a slave when Zey is thrown into the same holding cage as hers. They make a deal and plan their escape. What happens next was a very entertaining page-turning adventure. My favorite part was the time they spent in a tent high above the ground surrounded by a canopy of trees. Very romantic. Just don’t look down.

Great story, high on adventure and steam, low on drama and angst. Well developed, likable main characters and supporting characters. The story was creative, the world the author created for Ashe and Zey was vibrant and detailed.

I’ve read all the stories in this series so far. I loved them all. But, I didn’t know what I was missing until I felt like swooning the moment Troy Duran said: “Chapter 1”. What a voice. Perfect narrator for this story. Hope he narrates all of this author’s stories because I plan to get them all.

Loved It

I first read this book nearly three years ago and really enjoyed it. (My original ebook review is below.) I've loved the Tallean aliens series since then, but this is my first audiobook. I was excited to listen to Troy Duran narrate this. I've only listened to one audiobook he narrated where he voiced an Italian assassin, but I thought he would have the perfect voice for a Tallean male. I loved his voice for Zeylum. I also think he did a very good voice for Ashe. I'm always impressed when men with deep voices can lighten them enough for a female character. I also liked his voices for some of the other males- from the cruel guards, to the human male trying to escape with the other prisoners. It was wonderful to listen to this in audiobook and I hope the rest of the series will be narrated as well!

Overall: 5 stars
Performance: 5 stars
Story: 4 stars

Original Ebook Review 10.15.21:

I loved this book. It caught my interest from the start. It is said one of the best ways to bond with someone is through an adventure or relying on each other to survive. Ashe is held prisoner aboard a spaceship with a number of other humans, fated to be sold for labor (males) or pleasure (females). One day, an alien male is thrown in her cage- his hands and legs manacled. She brings back rations for him at mealtime and feeds him. He keeps close to her at night so she can stay warm, and protects her from any males who would try to take advantage of her. I like this initial bonding- about survival and eventually trust. There is adventure and suspense in this book. I've read others in this series, but it's nice to read where it began. 4 stars.
