About this listen
When a renegade thief and a genetically enhanced mercenary collide, space gets a whole lot hotter!
Thief Kara Shimsi has learned three lessons well - keep her head down, her fingers light, and her tithes to the syndicate paid on time.
But now a failed heist has earned her a death sentence - a one-way ticket to the toxic waste outside the dome. Her only chance is a deal with the syndicate's most ruthless enforcer, a wolfish mountain of genetically-modified muscle named Davien.
The thought makes her body tingle with dread - or is it heat?
Mercenary Davien will do whatever it takes to get back into space. The last thing he wants is a smart-mouthed thief - even if her scent drives him wild - and she may have the clue he needs to hunt down whoever destroyed his home.
Caring is a liability. Desire is a commodity. And love could get you killed.
Given is the first science fiction romance novel in The Star Breed series. No cliffhangers, no cheating, HEA guaranteed!

I signed up for a research mission with five other women. Instead, we crashed on an alien planet with too many dangers to count. Separated from the other women, I’m on my own until a huge alien with color-changing skin and a massive sword gets me out of a bad spot. I don’t understand Savair’s language, but I think he’s under the impression that I’m his. I am NOT his. I’m a 34-year old divorced scientist with no time for such nonsense. But if he can help me find the others in my group then perhaps I can play at being “his” for a while.

When I’m separated from my crew and dropped into a lush alien jungle, I have no idea which fantasy moon I’m on—until the first arrow nearly impales me.

As the first humans allowed in Suevan space, there’s a lot riding on my all-woman team. Earth desperately needs their tech, and I’m determined to prove we can negotiate the price. Without their planetary defense systems, Earth is a sitting duck, ripe for invasion. Except the Suevan culture is nothing like ours. When I take part in what I think is a welcoming ceremony, I leave with more than I bargained for: a husband. A mate. Apparently, we’re there to marry them as payment—something the top brass on Earth doesn’t bother denying. Fantastic.

Long have we been alone; without brides, without females to warm us during the long nights, without sweet mates. But we see them from afar, the brides that could be ours. Kept away from us by walls and weapons. Females we long for greatly...obsessively. Human females. And the one with red hair? I want her. I saw her first. I will fight to the death for her. She is mine. So, we’ll come together and make an exchange with their men that will benefit us all. After that? To the winner goes the spoil. Let the hunt begin...but the red-headed female is mine.

On the unforgiving planet of Dakkar, I did what all the humans in our village did: kept my head down, worked to provide for my family, and certainly didn’t break any Dakkari laws to risk inciting the alien race’s merciless wrath. Unfortunately, the same couldn’t be said for my brother, and one careless mistake brings a horde of the nomadic, barbarian Dakkari straight to our doorstep, led by their powerful horde king - a cold, ruthless, battle-scarred warrior demanding retribution.

Pretty good story
This was a new author for me, and I enjoyed listening to this audiobook. The heroine is a small time thief who is endentured to a crime Lord in the dome city she lives in on a rocky planetoids. The hero is a manufactured lab grown man who is there searching for information. They meet in the crime lords domain, and he offers to take her as his sex slave to punish her for losing something valuable. They really begin working together to regain that valuable asset and in doing somfall for each other. Then the race is on to meet the crime lordsdeadline and escape off the planet. Narration was well done.

Great Sci-Fi Romance!
Well written story with interesting characters and an actual plot. Very refreshing- not an abduction romance which I am still hoping to see done well - more of a two against the world scenario with some grit and heart. Romantic but not home over the top, sexy without letting the steam take over the story, and a very satisfying ending. Well done. This was my second time reading this several years apart and it was just as good the second time around. Oh and great world-building too!

Great Love Story
I got this story via audiobook boom and this is my voluntary review. This is the story of two people who would never meet if not for circumstances. I like that the hero is the one who is confused about the relationship. This is a love story that I would recommend especially on a rainy day when you want something different to listen to.

decent story but...
the story isnt too bad but the female narrator is terrible!! I just cringed each word that she spoke & if I didn't want to hear the end of the story - I would have stopped it just because of the female narrator!

Trash series. Don't buy
I want my money back. there was nothing scifi romantic about it. just a knock off of the Goonies. And the fact that this author made more of this trash in this series. fake reviews. Don't buy
