About this listen

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.

This duet narration was perfection!

•Fated mates
•Science Fiction romance
•Arranged marriage
•Alien vampire mmc

Last year, I had the opportunity to delve into a book that introduced me to a fascinating alien world. Gemma, the protagonist, selflessly sacrificed her own freedom to marry a terrifying alien Kylorr for a family that offered her nothing but disappointment. Frankly, despising them is an understatement. Gemma's family was unworthy of her presence, while her blood mate, Azur, unjustly inflicted punishment upon her for circumstances beyond her control and left her powerless to rectify unless he disclosed the truth.

Undoubtedly, this was a source of frustration, yet amidst it all, the plot of the story remained truly remarkable.

Imagine my delight when I discovered that an audiobook had finally been released! The narration proved to be nothing short of perfection. Stella Hunter and Marcio Catalano, the talented duo behind the duet narration, effortlessly brought every character to life!

If you enjoy the blend of science fiction and romance, particularly stories that explore the dynamics of arranged marriages, then look no further. This book, whether enjoyed on paper or audiobook, is an absolute must-read (or must-listen) for you.

Enthralling. Beautifully narrated.

I was completely enthralled. The narrators voice and pacing was perfect. Truly drew me into the story. It helped me create such vivid imagery of the story. Each character was uniquely their own.

I loved the characters and getting to know them. The characters and story is layered. There is a lot of depth. The spice is strong and I enjoyed every moment of it. It keeps you wanting more.

I really enjoyed the ever growing world and the many species and just how well it was all built and how it worked together.

It’s a bit sci-fi but also has authentic emotions. It’s a beautifully crafted balance.

🌻Surpisingly good!🌻

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻V from Kansas🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

After seeing the cover art, I hadn’t been holding out much hope for a decent storyline; I was wrong! The story was actually pretty good. The H and h’s relationship slowly developed, however there was enough heat along the way to keep me interested.

The narration was awesome and that always makes a huge difference.

My biggest complaint was the abrupt ending. In addition, there was a ritual that was a huge part of the story and the listeners didn’t get to experience it during the story.

Great story

A unique and interesting storyline. Most of the characters were likable. Corruption and the caste system seems to permeate this genre of books. Both narrators did a great job bringing characters to life. Look forward to the next book in the series.

The Start of A New Series - Great World Building

A world is being built for a new Zoey Draven series….love her Horde King series and this is beginning to be on par, exceptional.
A woman, Gemma, desperate to protect her younger sisters and dig her gambling father out of debt. Gemma is pressed into a marriage with a man from another planet, to another human.
The story begins and slowly evolves to answer the question why this man wants to marry her.
Suspense, mystery, loyalty, familial relationships, moral and ethical determinations, romance, love, different cultures, different ‘beings’ and a fated mate type storyline
Great story with great characters and incredible narration. I will be following this series just as I love and have the entire Horde King series!

Great start

This is a great start to a new series. This is the first book I have listened to by Zoey but it will not be the last. I really enjoyed every aspect of this book. I loved the leads and all of the other characters. I can’t wait to learn more about them. I would highly recommend this.

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!
