Craved by the Alien Warlord

Rate this book
She doesn't seem to like me, but soon she will realize that she is MINE.

CHRISSY: I came to the alien planet to liberate the enslaved humans, unfortunately I soon learn that things are not always what they seem. Falling for one of the handsome Thyre warlords is not part of the mission I set myself next—unfortunately Kendryx is not making resisting him easy.

KENDRYX: I have never met a kallini more obstinate or braver than Chrissy. From the moment I lay eyes on her I know she is my fated mate. When she sets her stubborn mind on a dangerous mission, I go with her—somebody has to protect her, even from herself. This will be my chance to convince her that she is MINE.

The ultimate goal of these brave warriors is to unite diverse beings to stand against the forces of evil.

I enjoy Sci-fi where anything goes, and I really enjoyed this story and these alpha men/aliens.

Craved by the Alien Warlord is the third exciting book in the Warlords of Thyre series and offers an action-packed and compelling read.

The Thyre is a race of formidable alpha warlords, but they have now been invaded by Humans who have been brainwashed into thinking they are going to save the humans already on the planet, when in fact they want to take over. To the Thyres' astonishment, he recognises this woman as his destined and confidante, treating her with the reverence she deserves.

Mutual Competence Admiration Fuels This Pairing

Gleeful Goblin Review: Strap in because this book jumps into Spiceville early and with intensity! There's a language barrier in place that's running contrary to the fated mates piece that both characters feel but only MMC knows what it is and that makes the initial spicy scenes a bit more amped up. But it also provides an opportunity for a beautiful glimpse at the care and true intimacy that we will see blossom later on which is highlighted in this inner monologue from FMC post spicy times relating to MMC seeing and lovingly responding with passion to torture scars: "Whatever it was that made me react the way I did, the way he had responded to it made my insides quiver. Not only had he accepted me the way I was, but he had tried to make me feel better, assuming I was self-conscious about the marks. That man was getting under my skin faster and harder than I had ever thought possible. More than anything, I yearned to explore his softer side, the one he showed me after, the way he had made me feel cherished, protected, and safe. The only time I had ever needed protection had been when I was orphaned at nine. When my time of playing with dolls had come to an abrupt end, and I realized the only way for me to stay alive was to fight. So I learned how."

The book is a steamy, fast paced and action heavy ride that you will run through SO fast. A big part of the attraction between the characters is mutual admiration of skill and intelligence which is just *bites knuckles*. A stellar addition to this universe and I can't wait to see more. 5/5 Stars

This was a fantastic book this was and I do love a strong independent female that look after herself even better than some men. Chrissy is a Captain in the Terran Confederation and is on the Planet Thyre to rescue the human females that she believes are being treated badly and to bring them back to base but when she speaks up in an meeting her fate was sealed and that of her squad when they are ambushed by the nasty Vandals who she has been captured by but her squad was all killed. Now she has learned that what the warlords believe is she was set up by her own people and she needs to know if it’s the truth so she heads back to base but she isn’t alone she has Warlord Kendryx who will see that she is safe. Warlord Kendryx has just meet his czira/ fated mate in the feisty human soldier Chrissy but she is our prisoner and she wants to find out the truth about weather she was set up or not by her own people and that they only wanted fresh DNA from the humans that have settled there so long ago and if it’s the truth she will stop the base from hurting innocent people by taking down there systems so it will be an even fight. But Chrissy’s biggest problem is fighting the attraction and burning desires she has for Kendryx but when they give into temptation there burning desires for each other is off the charts but what will the future hold for them both in the end.

"...I, too, would have done anything for my warriors."

Kendryx may be accustomed to protecting women, not fighting beside them, but in Chrissy he comes to recognize more than just a soldier, a leader who cares about her people... and those who follow her, and like her were betrayed by the powers that be who sent them to Thyre in the first place.

Chrissy was prepared to die rather than betray her people. On a humanitarian mission to rescue colonists, she is beyond shocked to discover (in the previous book) not only do they not need rescuing, the people who sent her both knew that, and had ulterior motives she can't respect or support.

This done in one book draws some of its strength, and charm, from Chrissy, and Kendryx each being the kind of leaders we, as readers, would want to follow. They struggle with hard choices, and Chrissy works hard to identify who is truly an enemy, and to only fight/harm those who are the enemy. There are several places in the book where a beautiful job is done differentiating individuals, or subsets/groups from a larger group it ward easy to react to based on assumptions or prejudice.

I hope Rae gets a story, even if only a novella, and I hope some of those who traveled across the dark sea with Kendryx and Chrissy get a story as well, as this is a rich, vibrant Universe I look forward to spending more time in.

In this addition in THE WARLORDS OF THYRE series, the heroine arrived at the alien planet with the intention of saving the enslaved humans living in this world. However, the heroine soon learned the truth, and she needs some answers from her superiors. Alongside her journey is the hero, who knows that the heroine is his fated mate and doesn't want to leave her alone in this particular journey. Throughout the time together, the heroine and the hero became close even through the language barrier and cultural differences. To reach their happy ending, the couple must come together to face all the obstacles coming their way.

This is another entertaining addition to this particular Bella Blair series. The main characters were strong individuals that has faced adversity in their pasts. The romantic relationship has plenty of mutual respect and sexy times mixed with interactions overcoming the barriers separating them. And the story was enjoyable from start to finish, with sufficient action and romance in an alien world. Reading this series makes me look forward to reading more books from the author in the future.

Chrissy is accompanied by Kendryx, the War Lord to the FOB base. She wants to speak to her superiors, about a peace plan/treaty. She rather go alone, but Kendryx insisted. He knows Chrissy his his fated mate, when he first saw her. They travel by ship to the FOB base. Despite the language barrier, they learn each other's language. When they reach the FOB base, Chrissy was assumed to be dead. She speaks to General Svelvick. He rejects the plan. She requested to speak to the Terran Delegation, and the board. He refuses her request, and threaten with execution. Chrissy formulates a dangerous plan of action. She decides to disable their weapons, and solar power. She is unaware that Kendryx has followed her into the FOB base. Chrissy does not want any more bloodshed. Does she succeed? Will they escape? You have to read the book to find out! I enjoyed reading this book. It has action, love, passion, and hea.

CHRISSY and her forces were sent from earth on a mission...to liberate humans on Thyre. But when she arrived she discovered that the humans didn't need liberating and earth lied to her. Now she's on a mission to get ahold of the confederation that sent them to explain that humans aren't in trouble. But she is going with KENDRYX and is essentially his prisoner. To top that they can't even speak to each other. They are each drawn to each other even though they have language issues. When they finally make it to the other side of the ocean, Chrissy tries to talk to her team but she discovers her conjectures of the earth's mission was as she thought. Now they have a fight on their hands trying to untangle the web earth authorities have wrought. Will she be able to do it?
Fantastic story about differences between two species. An interesting love story.

Chrissy is a soldier who was devoted to the Terran Confederation until she found out the real reason she was on the planet. She is now committed to saving lives on both sides of the war. Now she is stuck returning to her home base with her no longer enemy Kendryx who is there to keep an eye on her. Her goal is to secure peace with no more bloodshed, not to fall in love with her watchdog. The world building is good and I liked the characters. I liked the action and the spice. While I know this book is wrapping up a series it seemed like too much of the end part of the book read more like a summary which was a bit of a disappointment for the ending of a book. I like to feel emotionally vested with the couple through the whole book. Aside from that personal preference it was still an entertaining read and I recommend the book.

Chrissy (h), a determined human on a mission, unexpectedly finds herself entangled with Kendryx (H), a formidable Thyre warlord, leading to a tale of forbidden attraction and dangerous missions. Chrissy's resilience and Kendryx's protective instincts create a dynamic that intensifies as they overcome language barriers and societal differences. The passionate and gradual development of Chrissy and Kendryx’s evolving bond and mutual admiration for each other's strengths adds depth to their connection. The chemistry and tension that builds as Chrissy and Kendryx navigate their complex relationship balances well with the suspense and action. Hot and steamy alien-human romance with lots of adventure, dangers, and societal clashes make for an engaging story.

Delightful Story of Alien Worlds - Who are the “Monsters”!!

A mission to rescue enslaved humans is anything but. Chrissy must channel her Colonel McGuire strength to address the Terran Confederation and stop the local population from being wiped out by their higher tech weaponry.

Doesn’t hurt that her companion Kendryx, Warlord of Dokkymburg, while holding her prisoner, is just as eager to prevent all-out war. Kendryx is ready to claim her. While he is attracted to her intelligence and strength he knows she must fulfill her mission, and is very independent.

Great world-building, character-building, danger, intrigue and romance.

Chrissy has not set out to find love but to find humans that are being mistreated or at least she thought they were. What she finds is nothing like what she was told. It’s so much more and better than anything she would have imagined.
KENDRYX see the love his warrior friend has with his little human but is not sure it’s a good idea. She is fragile and very different. Then he meets Chrissy and his mind is changed. But is it a good thing?
Can these two really make it work? Can Chrissy survive in a world so different? Most of all can she open her self up to everything Kendrick is willing to give?
What an amazing story! Enjoy.

Chrissy was , if nothing, stubborn. Nothing could stop her from her goal, not even being captured by the enemy. Dedicated, a quick thinker and well trained in fighting, she never gave up. Kendryx, a tall, handsome warlord (she could admit this to herself) was captivated by this tiny, defenceless human. Boy was he mistaken. Tiny yes, but certainly not defenceless as she proved to him more than once. She was a well trained soldier, who believed in her mission: save the humans from the Thyre. Turns out the humans didn’t want to be saved. They were safe, happy and definitely not slaves. The Terran Confederation had an ulterior motive, a motive she certainly didn’t believe in.

Chrissy goes on a mission to free any humans held captive but she finds out that her superiors have been lying as the humans are free. Kendryx, a Thyre Warlord, and Chrissy have a mission to defeat the Terran Confederation because of the lies told. On their boat ride to Vandall's lands, they find steamy ways to make their time on the boat go faster. Their mission is successful but their fight to do what's right for all humans on the alien planet was difficult for all involved. During their time together, Braxton knows Chrissy is his and he does everything he can to let her know of his feelings. It works! This is a steamy romance with danger, adventure, and a happy ending.

I love this series! Each pair is so different and yet similar. Chrissy and Kendrix’s story was everything I thought it would be. Teased in the previous one, this more than lived up to my expectations. Both hard core warriors with intelligence and effective leadership skills, they matched in so many ways. Attraction and intimacy were abound and so well done. Good plot lines interconnected the stories and gave even more depth. I cannot wait for the next one.

Action and adventure packed. The steam between Chrissy and Kendryx is hot. Christy is a warrior every bit as Kendryx and he sees she got techniques she could teach him and his warriors as well. As much as Kendryx wishes for a more docile woman, he admires her fierceness. These two are a power couple that has compassion for those they serve and lead. This story will catch you attention from the start and keep it until the end.

I enjoyed the first two but this wasn't my favorite.
For one, the whole learning each other's languages fluently in 5 days annoyed me.
Then it had this agenda feel to it, about how bad humans are, some fear over a global government, lost ng freedoms, combined with the constant narrative reminder that she's not like other women.
I did laugh when the equal opportunity military of the future still had gendered washrooms 😂

Anyways I like the series and world building and the heros, this one just wasnt as much for me.

Captain Chrissy and warlord Kendryx.
Chrissy is on a mission to save the humans long sent to faraway worlds. The thing is, the humans don't need rescue and her mission isn't what She thougth. Warlord Kendryx knows Chrissy is his mate but she doesn't know it, however She feels a Pull toward him. She is fierce and independent and he loves that about her. Still he protects her at all costs but always respecting her barriers. A lot is going on with the humans from earth and She is going to find out.

What an amazing adventure!

Chrissy's capture quickly becomes a collaboration when she realises her superiors have been lying.

Kendryx decides upon meeting Chrissy that she is his mate. Now he just has to learn how to communicate with her and persuade her of the fact.

Together they journey to the human stronghold to level the playing field.

This series just gets better and better. A roller-coaster of action, adventure and romance from the very start. Absolutely outstanding!.

That was one great story. Both the MMC and FMC are fine warriors, and they both earned my respect. The "invasion" was intense and held me in suspense.

The MMC let her criza shine and respected her as a fellow warrior. There is no doubt that the FMC would fall for the MMC; he was what she was looking for all along, and she found it in an alien in a faraway universe.

A great suspense book. Chrissy came to an alien planet to save enslaved humans. As she learns more about the planet she's on, she finds are not like what she was told on Earth. She starts asking her superiors questions and the next thing she know, her and her team are attacked and she is taken prisoner. What will happen now?.

Kendryx knows Chrissy is his fated mate and volunteers to take her to try and stop a war from happening. She was sent to "save her humans" from his people enslaving them.. only to find out they were not slaves. They were happily married and protected. Because she only speaks English and he doesn't, it makes communicating really interesting ;) and the heat is on FIRE! I've been watching these 2 dance around each other since they met back in book 1 and they finally get their story!

This was a fun and quick read really about 3.5 stars. Just be fair it is a typical alien and human spicy love story. Our main female character came to save the other woman she believes are be held as slaves. Once arriving she meet a warlord and they begin their journey. They find themselves fighting for what is right. And over coming everything tossed in their path along the way together.

I love alien warlord romances, and this one ticked all my boxes for a great story. We have a human heroine and a hunky alien warlord(oh yum!) Chrissy and Kendryx are perfect together, I loved the way the author developed their relationship. This book is full of adventure, excitement and spice, love the setting, love the characters.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. I liked how much a warrior Chrissy is and this is what catches Kendryx's attention. When she discovers how much her people have betrayed her, she does what is right. I like how well Kendryx and Chrissy work together and this carries over to their personal life as well.

This was a great romance that brought together two warriors - although it took time for Thyre Kendryx to believe that Chrissy was more than a fragile human ;) They end up having a complex relationship that builds as they work together on their mission. Expect to get caught up in the action, adventure, danger, suspense and steamy romance when you crack open this exciting read :D

Awesome story. I do hope that there will be more stories added to this series though. I enjoyed it so very much. A lot happened. A lot of explosions and fighting too. So exciting. The Warlord realized that the solders had a lot more to offer than he thought too. I received a complimentary review copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

I read this book thinking it was a stand alone but it only semi works for that. Eventually you learn everything you need to know about the world but I think more would be revealed by reading the whole series. The main characters offer plenty of heat but it really is more about the complete story than just the relationship.
