Raider Warlords of the Vandar #1-3
Raider Warlords of the Vandar Collection Books 1-3
What happens when you cross the ruthless and deadly Vandar raiders who roam the galaxy? These women are about to find out. . .
Book #1: Possessed
I sacrificed myself to save my sister’s ship. Now the alien warlord owns me. The dark and menacing raiders are known for terrorizing the galaxy, and I'm forced to share a bed with the most ruthless one of them all. But the dominant warlord wants more than my submission--he wants to possess my soul.
Book #2: Plundered
My sister gave herself to the raider warlord to save me. Now I’m hunting him down and getting her back. Everyone knows the Vandar raiders are cruel and merciless, so when my ship is attacked by another of the alien race’s warlords, I expect to be blown out of the sky. Instead, he takes me as his captive. I may be the warlord’s property, but no way will I submit to his demands. Even if his hard body and fiery eyes ignite a desire in me like nothing has before.
Book #3: Pillaged
I was promised against my will to an empirical general. . .so I escaped. Right into the arms of an even more ruthless Vandar warlord who wants to claim me as his. But he has no intention of forcing me. He wants to make a deal—become his willingly and I will get what I’ve always wanted—my freedom from a loveless, arranged marriage. Can I agree to a deal with the darkly dominant warlord who stokes both my fear and desire?
This collection of three full-length sci-fi romance novels contains lots of HEAs and no cheating. It features steamy scenes on a raider warship, alien horde space battles, and some serious enemies-to-lovers and fake relationship heat.
If you like dominant and dangerous alien warriors, alien abduction to seduction romance, and kickass heroines, you’ll love this collection of the first three novels in Tana Stone's bestselling series, Raider Warlords of the Vandar.

About the author
Tana Stone
108 books831 followersI love sexy aliens and independent heroines. I grew up on Star Trek: Next Generation and Star Wars (and I adore them equally). My favorite superhero is Thor (with Aquaman a close second because, well, Jason Momoa), my favorite dessert is key lime pie (okay, fine, all pie), and I still lament the loss of Firefly.
I live in North Carolina in the US and have one husband, two teenagers, and two neurotic cats. I sometimes wish I could teleport to a holographic space station like the one in my tribute brides series (or maybe vacation at the oasis with the sand planet barbarians). :-) When I'm not writing, I love to paddleboard, dive, travel, and read obsessively!

4.5 stars
"Raider Warlords of the Vandar" is a steamy sci-fi romance series, much like Tana's other series. The series follows the Vandar, a group of hot and sexy alpha aliens who travel across galaxies as raiders. However, they are not what everyone in the empire believes them to be. They actually fight for freedom against the empire, which takes what it wants. Along their journey, they encounter more than they could have hoped for. The series is full of action, war, and sexy themes as they traverse the skies. Tana's worlds and characters are well-written and believable. If you love sci-fi with sexy aliens and hot romance, you will enjoy Tana's work.

Steamy, suspenseful and captivating alien romances
I love a book with a sexy alpha hero and a sexy, smart heroine and add in aliens dressed and acting like Vikings to the mix - yes please. Despite the FMCs being “taken” as the property of the Vandar, these are not dubcon or noncon situations. The relationships all the couples develop organically without forced intimacy. The stories were well written and included witty dialogue, three dimensional characters who grow, and an engaging storyline with all the good elements that you’d expect from this genre - fighting, dangerous situations, alien physiology and cultures, evil actors, loyal friends, painful pasts, drama, snark, mystery, plot twists, and laughs. The development of interesting secondary characters was good and had me waiting anxiously for more books with them in starring roles. I will definitely be reading more of this series. Vandar warriors are clearly no match for human females.
Possessed
Astrid is a human woman who works on her sister’s transport ship as a navigator. A lapse in attention by her causes the ship to inadvertently enter Vandar airspace. Kratos is a Vandar warrior and the Raas of his horde. When he boards Astrid’s ship and she offers to take her sister’s place to save her sister’s life, Kratos agrees because he is drawn to her.
Plundered
Tara is a human woman who is the captain of a transport. Her sister was taken prisoner by a Vandar Raas and she has been looking for her ever since. Kaalek came to destroy Tara’s ship for encouraging the Empire to attack the Vandar. In exchange for not destroying her ship, Tara agrees to go willingly with Kaalek back to his Vandar ship.
Pillaged
Toraan is the Raas of one of the largest Vandar hordes. Rachel is a human who was sold to the Admiral of the Empire as his bride. While having a wedding dress fitting, the Empire ship is engaged in a battle with two Vandar hordes and Rachel uses that distraction as a way to escape. Toraan’s horde captures her ship and upon learning who she is to the empire, he offers to mate her as protection for her and an insult to the Empire.

Each story builds on the next, and this trio makes a nice collection, though there are more stories to follow.
The first is told mostly from the Big Guy perspective, and the second is told from the Feisty Woman side, and the third is from the youngest brother's viewpoint. Together it makes a family affair.
The adventure is exciting, and the sexy bits are hot, if not sizzling. The characters are solid, though the humans adapt pretty quickly. There is a fated-mate aspect, but it is not the driving force of the romance - icing on the cake.
Oh and they have tails.
I'll be reading more in this series.

A well written alien romance, I enjoyed reading this collection of stories. They were very descriptive and I found myself immersed in the story. I liked the characters and with how it was written, I felt that I got to know them. These books are spicy and I feel that the books are read best in order.
I can’t wait to read more of the alien romances.

DNF@15% right after the h who won't have sex with the H gets all whiny and jealous that the H went to a whorehouse with his crew. This after only about 2 days of them being together. There was no relationship AT ALL but she's jealous. I can't stand it when authors write these pathetic FMC who are too wishy washy about what they want.

Loved it!
Enjoyable romp across the galaxy with lots of adventures for our alien warriors as they battle the enemy and find their fated mates. Lots of funny and snarky banter at times between the couples which was highly entertaining. The audiobooks are well performed by the narrators who bring the story to life!

Rachael and Toraan
Rachel was sold by her parents to an old admiral of the Zagrath. She didn't want to marry the old man, and escaped his ship on a small transport. She was captured by Vandar Raas Toraan.

A great read.
Wow, these three stories will take you for a ride. I definitely liked the spunk of the first two females, the third female is one I found annoying. I enjoyed the guys learning what it means to love.
