Vrik: A SciFi Alien Warrior Romance
One of the first to find her rhun, one of the first to fall pregnant—and the only human survivor of the Shangris to be left alone.
Xenobiologist Gabriella never expected to study anything more interesting than alien bacteria, but the stars had other plans. Flung across the universe with no way home, she’s compelled to join a huge Azar warrior right off the ship. As her friends fall in love with their mates, she hopes for a bright future. That hope is dashed when her mate seems to prefer anywhere but with her, and then gets himself killed. Very pregnant and very alone, she latches on to the Rucieth who appears next door. Vrik is mysterious, sexy as hell, grumpy, and he wants nothing to do with her. Gabriella is determined to win him over.
Banished to Kadeya by his team leader, Vrik wants nothing more than to wait out his forced time off and get back in the fight. He has neither time nor patience for his bright new neighbor and her bizarre choice of pet. It doesn’t take long to determine the beautiful human quiets the voices in his mind. He needs her—maybe more than he wants to admit.
The Scozid threat grows across the universe, the Ka’atari warriors are scattered, and Gabriella’s pet is far from enamored with Vrik. Action packed, steamy sci-fi romance fun!
This novella is the sixth in the Ka'atari Warriors series. It has a guaranteed happily ever after and no cliff hangers but the story progresses from book to book and the series is best read in order.

I do so love the Ka'atari warriors🔥💖🌟
In book 6 Gabby is heavily pregnant and her Rhun left her and died on a hunting trip. She did not get a warrior who truly loved her like the others. As her pregnancy progresses a new warrior moves in next door Vrik is a Ka'atari warrior with heavy physic abilities. These abilities make him deadly but they also drive him truly crazy. He can't turn his abilities off or put up a barrier. When he meets Gabby he doesn't want to be near her he's afraid he'll hear her thoughts, but Gabby is a persistent human and tries her hardest to befriend him. As time goes on they develop a friendship of sorts and Vrik realizes he can't hear her and she blocks out others as well. But the course of true love doesn't run smooth. A ten year storm rushes in, gabby goes I to labor, her deer like animal friend goes as missing and the Ka'atari are under attack by their worst enemy! Could something please for once go right?! You will have to read and find out. This was a non stop adventure filled with danger , love and new beginnings! I recommend you give it a try!💖🌟🔥🌟💖🔥💖🌟🔥💖🌟🔥💖🌟🔥

A second Rhun for Gabrielle
This is book six and features characters Gabrielle, female human, and Vrik, talented warrior, who can hear other’s thoughts. Both of them are struggling with past baggage, but somehow Gabrielle reaches out to Vrik and helps him with the calm. Even grumpy, he is an honorable male and starts looking out for Gabrielle’s safety. She also has a special pet Wren, not a bird, but a dangerous creature who can speak telepathically and who has protected Gabrielle during this important time. It’s serious and humorous all at once for these two! Read On!

Excellent romantic sci fi adventure
The worldbuilding is impressive. Gabby and Wren are awesome and made me laugh out loud. Really bad stuff happens. Vrik is a fascinating character. And I really loved this story. It may be my favorite of the series.

Wren!
Rating 3.5
Vrik is an enjoyable read but even with the synopsis it is difficult to jump into the book. Once in, the story becomes thrilling. Of course, if there was a warning blurb about needing to read other books in the series first; I missed it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Poor Gabby! She had been through so much but came out stronger on the other side. Vrik is a much better choice for her.

I love the whole series
The author finds the perfect balance between world building story line and steamy romance. I’m looking forward to reading the next instalment.

I love that she found love!
I’ve been waiting and waiting for Gabriella to find love, her rhun. This is a sweet story told pretty well.
