Publisher's summary

Sometimes it takes losing the one thing closest to a warrior's heart to wake the beast that lives inside him....

Saber, a wounded Trivator, believes he is no longer a fit warrior, much less strong enough to claim a mate. Scarred, he does everything in his power to push away the delicate human female he has fallen in love with. He knows that she deserves a warrior who can protect her, not one that will need her constant help.

Taylor Sampson may be human, but that doesn't make her weak. She and her two older sisters survived living on Earth for four years after their world went crazy. She is all grown up now and has her eye on the one stubborn Trivator that captured her heart seven years before.

Taylor has one last requirement in order to complete her schooling. Once she finishes, she plans to show Saber that he is the man she wants, but when the planet she is on erupts into a civil war, she is trapped behind enemy lines. When Saber discovers that Taylor has been left behind, the warrior inside him refuses to think of her as collateral damage in a savage battle for power.

Journey to a lawless, alien world and discover what happens when the beast awakens inside a damaged Trivator warrior when the woman he loves is threatened.

It was okay

I thought this one would be better than the last but it was okay. I still enjoyed listening to it though. Each story builds the plot up and beings new characters into play. Although, I like the narrator I would like to hear a woman voice when a woman speaks, I think i would connect with them better. Overall, it's a good read and I will continue to series as there is still much to learn about the war that is looming over all of them.

Funny, a Must Read

Would you listen to Challenging Saber again? Why?

Oh yes. It was a very good story with a lot of humor.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Taylor was definitely my favorite character. I could relate to her sense of humor. Plus, she was a brave young lady.

What does David Brenin bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I really liked the way he did the men's voices. There were so many and he did an excellent job separating them.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

When Saber told her to leave broke my heart. I wanted to cry. But, she showed him.

Any additional comments?

This sister is the youngest of the three sisters. Nothing can keep her down. She seems to inspire those around her. I truly enjoyed this book.

Love this series!!

Love the series! I really enjoyed this book. David Brenin is one of the few male narrators that i can listen to without cringing.
If this series cannot be done by a female narrator, then i'm happy its David Brenin who has done all of them.

Hummmm

This book adds more elements and intrigue to this series by bringing in some other interesting aliens and technology.

Though I love the narrator and he is getting much much better at female voices this area is still a bit of distraction for me.

It is wise to listen to this series in order so you can stay on top of the storylines.

Excellent!

Every book in this series is a highlight. The suspense, the twists and turns in the plot, together with the scalding heat create an experience that lingers long after the book has ended. As always David Brenin delivers an impeccable performance!

Alien love is for everybody

I got caught up in the adventure. Razor the sexy alien saves Taylor the Earth girl from the bad aliens, like a hero should. Turns out, he did the bad guys a favor, saving them from the clever and incredibly brave Taylor, who pretty much kicked everybody's butt all the time, not discounting the fact that she was very small. Hey, it's fiction!
The very best part of the listen? The voice of David Brenin. Wow. I could listen to him read the phone book. Give that guy a raise.

The last sister finds her true love

At first, I wasn't sure I'd like how this played out since Taylor was 14 when Saber first met her, but as it played out and the right moves were made I think it was written well. (Trying not to give anything away). It was a good book, and I can see a whole new area opening up for the writer...

Best one yet!

This is the best one out of the series so far. I will warn you that while it has an ending, it also leaves you with questions. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Challenging Saber

A Very good continuation of the story line. Saber and Jordan have a great story going. The main and secondary chAracters work very well together.
