Publisher's summary

A monster wants her as his bride...and he will stop at nothing to claim her.

Gemma Hara is drowning under the weight of her father’s debts. Working herself to the bone, she knows that if she doesn’t pay them off in time, the sadistic creditors will take everything: their home, their respected name, and, worst of all, her two beautiful sisters.

To save her family, Gemma agrees to do something reckless: marry a wealthy and mysterious stranger, who offers her a wicked bargain she can’t afford to refuse.

However, his bargain comes with one terrifying catch. Because her husband-to-be is a Kylorr.

One of the most fearsome alien races in the Four Quadrants, the Kylorr are beastly monsters, all muscle and menace, with powerful wings, depraved cravings, and berserker-like rages. The worst part?

They survive on blood.

Cold and cruel, Azur of House Kaalium, the High Lord of Laras, demands Gemma as his blood bride. To feed from her. To use her body in whatever way he wishes. For paying off her family’s debts, he expects her complete submission.

What neither of them predicts is how his bite doesn’t bring pain—it fills Gemma with more exquisite pleasure than she’s ever known. And as she finds her footing on a strange new planet, the one thing Gemma thought she’d never surrender might be at risk after all.

Her heart.

Too bad her new husband can’t seem to decide if he wants to break it...or keep it forever.

Great narration!

Story: I found the world building to be pretty rich and fun. Initially I was a little lost with all the names but, after a few chapters, I got invested. A bit of a “strangers to lovers”/“enemies to lovers” mix going on which quickly turned to just love (and lots of it 🌶️🌶️🌶️) due to to a different trope that gets introduced pretty early on. Not complaining though!

Narration: I loved both narrators in this so much. Marcio Catalano is particularly good in his role as Azur. His voice is so deep and silky. The way he delivered some of his lines made me feel…so many things. 🥵 Stella Hunter is marvelous! She really helped paint a picture of a strong female lead in Gemma. Also, the duet narration! ❤️ I love duets so much since it makes the story feel more immersive.

Overall: Highly recommended! Narration doesn’t disappoint, the romance is compelling, and the world building lays great ground work for more to come. I’m forward to jumping into the next one in the series now!

Hot PNR duet narration

I always enjoy Zoey’s stories and this was no exception! Marcio and Stella did an amazing job narrating this in duet! It was a bit long but this was necessary to portray the characters and present the vast world and set the scene for the future books in series!

I couldn't stop listening!

Desire in His Blood is the first book in the Brides of the Kylorr series. This is my first book by the author and was I impressed! I'm not usually one for PNR, but this was really good. Gemma marries an enemy alien to pay off her father's debts and save her sisters from the same fate. Azur is a monster, a vampire with wings in space (it's not as weird as it sounds when I write it). He wants to save his family as well and Gemma is part of that plan. This one had me from the beginning and I couldn't stop listening. The author really gives us a fantasy world in detail along with internal struggles and some super steamy alien spice! Yum! I can't wait for the rest of this series.

The narration was fabulous! Marcio Catalano is becoming a favorite narrator for me. Stella Hunter is just magnificent as well. These two made the steam happen! 5 spicy space stars!

So good!

5/5⭐️ 3/5🌶️ 5/5🎧
Audiobook review: This book was so good! It’s been a while since I read a monster romance and it didn’t disappoint. It was an enemies to lovers, marriage of convenience/forced marriage, revenge plot. But when they fell, they fell hard. Lots of blood play, which is my jam. I was swooning by the end. He was absolutely terrifying, he was sweet on her. Obsessed. We. Freaking. Love. It. 👏 Sign me up for the rest of the series because it was so good. Read this book. Better yet, listen to the audio because Stella Hunter and Marcio Catalano absolutely rocked this audio performance.

The world and relationship building is so good.

Another amazing start to a new series. This makes me want to go relisten to the Horde Kings. No one writes Alien Romance like Zoey. Like you forget it’s Aliens!

Great Story!

. The narrators did a good job telling the story and giving the characters a voice emotions and all that made it entertaining to listen to it. The FMC is struggling paying off her father's debt, staff, workers and house bills while trying to hide it from her sisters. When she has no other choice she agrees to marry the MC not knowing he has an agenda of his own. This was a great story the chemistry between the two is hot , when they get together steamy, when everything unfolds heavy.

Story predictable

The narrators did a fantastic job, but the female character was so boring at times. Had to fast forward a few times because the story was just slow and not moving repeatedly at times. Loved the male voice he was fantastic! Story was just boring at times, but gave it a four for narrative because they were just fantastic!
