Great ending

This has a great ending, not only to the individual book, but to this series, it would be interesting further to be more from this author in this world, but not necessary I don’t feel like I have to have more, which is excellent. I hope you enjoy this series as much as I didthe first book does have a bonus of that first Novella at the end so you do actually get all seven books in the six that are listed.

needed more action

the last book was good but it needed to be longer and more detailed action scenes. the action needed to have gone on longer. we needed to see the other brothers in the action, but we never got that. the book was good but not great. the series could have been better. it had potential

3.5 Stars

Ensnared by the Alien Lord is book 6 in the Lords of Destra series. This is the final book in the series and we see the overall story resolve for all 7 of the couples. This book is about 36-year-old, human, doctor, Wyn, and Destran Lord, Scaron. Initially, when Scaron found Wyn, he took her prisoner and put her in a cage thinking she might be working with the enemy. That was different from how the other 6 couples met and bonded. Scaron’s sola is also different from the others in that his is full of ex-criminals. I didn’t enjoy Scaron’s sola and people as much as I did the others. I liked seeing how everyone finally came together and the solas were able to reunite. I loved the surprise help they got. This series was really fun. I definitely recommend it for anyone looking for easy reads/listens. I’m sure I will listen to the whole series again in the future. As for the narration, the same narrators read all 7 of the books (0.5 -6 – 0.5 is included at the end of book 1) and I found that the male narrator was consistently really good with all of the characters that he voiced. The female was good at voicing the female main characters but wasn’t as good with her voices for the male main characters. In this book, I struggled with the female narrator voicing Scaron as carefree and easy going as he was far from that. Overall, the narration is pretty solid though. This series is my first experience with this author. I am looking forward to trying out her other series’ too. Overall, I give Ensnared by the Alien Lord 3.5 stars. I give the series overall 4.5 stars.

Loved the Alien storyline & world

I really liked that these novels were so different than what I’d been listening to. Paranormal, mystical, etc. The Alien world and characters were created with such believability and with a full range of emotions. This is a little more sexual explicit than I’m used to but those narration “scenes” were not frequent and didn’t last very long. I also really liked all the strong women and the differing strengths they brought to the story. And of course, I love a happy ending because that’s why I listen to audiobooks. To escape the crazy world and imagine an outcome that I can picture myself in. I loved the female and male narrators but when the male narrator was voicing a female and vice-versa, I really didn’t like it. I understand why they do this but I still am a little put off by it. Overall, a gem of a series and 5 stars!!

Ok

I found it hard to stay focused; Elle’s voice needed a bit pepping up, her affect was so flat and soft, needed a fire lit under it. The storyline was ok. Tor’s narration was pretty good.

Slightly better than meh

I've read/listened to this whole series and it's not bad. It's a bit simplistic, but there's unique world building and some okay (if not a little threadbare) plots.

Setup: Scaron, a Lord of Destra is out with a hunting party when he finds our mfc Wyn half naked and starving. Her ship has gone down and her escape pod has crashed on an alien planet. He takes her (as a prisoner) to his Sola - his symbiont ship - and she (the ship's pronoun) promptly downloads his brain with the English language. Great, I thought. No stupid barriers to love. 

Scaron is fascinated by English words and inflections, and quizzes the mfc as to why she has "yellow" hair but it’s also called blonde. And she's like [paraphrasing her ditz voice] "i dunno??? We also call red haired people redheads or gingers, and brown haired people brunettes, but black haired people are just black haired people." Am I being prickly or is this woman shItting me? 85% of the world has black hair. The LEAST this character could've done was make a flip comment about unfair etymology, or rightly suggest that there's racial bias hidden in our linguistics. She's an MD! She’s supposed to be intelligent.

Later our mfc finds out that an evil earth corporation is planning a genocide (on the Destrans) to obtain their natural resource (Lami). and she literally DROPS TO HER KNEES in shock and despair. LMAO. Has this author never heard of De Beers and the blood diamonds of Sierra Leone, or the Ford Co and its relationship with the Third Reich during the Holocaust, or even Monsanto and its franken-crops? Corporations love mass murder. I don't care what century this book takes place in, the mfc would have to be brain damaged to have that kind of blind faith in a corporation. The reader should've gotten a heads up that something drastic had happened, like all previously recorded human history had been lost, or humankind had evolved into saints. Instead of making an educated woman into a total idiot. 

As for the rest of the book, it was rushed. The author tried to give the couple their full formulaic ‘desert island’ style love story. But I think she forgot she had an entire series to close off (including reuniting all the Solas, fighting a Bracken/Human war, and creating an HEA for an ENTIRE SPECIES). This book was the same meagre 6 hours as the other books and it wasn't enough.
