4.5 stars!

Stolen by the Submarine takes us back into the apocalyptic waterworld where Alphas rule but it’s the Omegas that truly hold all the power.

Coral has lived a life without true freedom and placed on an auction block, she’s resigned herself to never tasting happiness. Until the big and bad Submarine arrives. The Alpha that claims her for his own.

“I found you, little omega. You’re mine now.”


Port isn’t prepared for the heart clenching emotions Coral makes him feel but he’s happy to learn how to balance passion and care with feral and primal. Coral isn’t prepared for Port’s real nature and wants nothing more than to feel sheltered, loved and protected.

“You asked for this, baby. No going back now. You’re mine. My female. My omega. My fallen angel.”


This installment of this series packed an emotional punch along with its sweltering heat and I fell head over heels for this Alpha/Omega duo. Port was demanding and pushy in the best ways while also meeting Coral’s emotional needs. Coral was just so sweet and cute despite what she’s been through and I loved her devotion to not only Port but to herself and their blossoming connection.

“By telling me his name, he gave me power over him. He willingly offered me a way to leave my mark on his soul”


Short and steamy but with an action packed plot that grabbed me and didn’t let go until the end. Love this world.

Another hot,short story has been added to this yummie series!
Bite-sized and delicious,just like the others.
Only this time,Coral sees Port for what he is and embraces him pretty quick.
She knows The Sisters have only their own interest at heart.
Auctioning her for her first heat,threatening to take her offspring,the future seems bleak.
Until Port….this brutal brick of an Alpha may have stolen her away,but she knows he’s her best chance at getting her wishes fulfilled.
A happy life,with a family of her own…..

I do love that her snarl makes him happy 😉
This one just became my favourite 🖤🩶❤️🩶🖤 I oddly like this completely different version, her being grateful & loving to her hero (especially compared to other choices) AND the originality in it. The OTT Alpha is typical, am still amused at the infusing his scent into the nest materials.
🧐 Gotta wonder what happened to all the other trapped Omegas on “The Sisters” ship??

Honestly they are just the easiest reads, and as always guaranteed to get you out of a book slump.

More spice than storyline but it works, can’t wait to read the next one!

In "Stolen by the Submarine," V.T. Bonds takes us deep into an apocalyptic waterworld where Alphas dominate, yet the Omegas wield the true power. This gripping installment delivers a potent mix of raw emotion and scorching heat, making it an unputdownable read.

Coral’s life has been a relentless struggle, void of true freedom and hope. Placed on an auction block, she’s resigned herself to a bleak future, never expecting happiness to come her way. That is until the imposing figure of the Submarine arrives. Port, the Alpha who claims her, isn’t just any Alpha—he’s a force of nature, awakening emotions in Coral that she never thought possible.

Port is unprepared for the heart-wrenching feelings Coral stirs within him, yet he’s eager to learn how to balance his primal instincts with genuine care and passion. On the other hand, Coral is both enchanted and overwhelmed by Port’s intense nature. All she longs for is to feel sheltered, loved, and protected—a desire that Port is determined to fulfill.

This story is a beautiful dance between power and vulnerability. Port’s demanding and assertive nature is perfectly balanced by his ability to meet Coral’s emotional needs. Meanwhile, Coral’s sweetness and devotion shine through despite her harrowing past, creating a captivating dynamic that is both endearing and steamy.

"Stolen by the Submarine" packs an emotional punch alongside its sweltering heat. The action-packed plot grabs you from the first page and doesn’t let go until the very end. V.T. Bonds has truly mastered the art of creating short, sweet, and sizzling stories. This addition to the Alphas of the Waterworld series is perfect for those moments when you have an hour or two to escape from everyday stresses and dive into a world that will rev your engines and tug at your heartstrings.

As Coral clings to the bars of her cage, watching the submarine rise from the ocean like a mythological beast, she’s faced with the harsh reality of her fate. She’s been told by the Sisters that she will be sold to the highest-bidding Alpha, who will claim her during her first rut. The Alphas, they warn, will likely tear her apart, and her babies will be taken away to be raised by wet nurses.

But when Port, the Alpha known as the Submarine, rescues her from this hellish existence, he promises her something different. Introducing himself as Port, he vows to bring her happiness and care. Coral soon realizes that she has fallen in love with this giant of a man. Port calls her his “Fallen Angel” and assures her they will have a life filled with love and joy. Together, they envision a future where their offspring will inherit Port’s strength and Coral’s loving nature.

"Stolen by the Submarine" is a mesmerizing tale of love, resilience, and passion. It’s a story that will captivate you from start to finish, leaving you eagerly anticipating the next installment in this enthralling series. V.T. Bonds continues to enchant readers with her vivid storytelling and unforgettable characters, making this a must-read for fans of the genre.

A wonderful read I loved every moment of this story, the characters and the plot was simply captivating
As the submarine had risen out of the ocean like a huge mythological beast rising from the unknown depths Coral had been clinging to the bars of the cage, she had been propped on so that she could stop the Alphas that were mad to reach her, to take and rut her, it was a living hell.
All the facts that she had been told by the Sisters is that she will be sold to the Alpha that bids the most so that they can have her for her first rut, the Alphas she has been told will probably rip her apart as she goes into her first heat and that her babies will be taken away from her by her Alpha to be raised by wet nurses.
The Alpha that takes her away from the hell on board the shop is known as The Submarine and when she asks him for his name, she he tells his Angel that he is Port and that she is his now and that he will do everything he can to bring her happiness and all the care she needs.
Coral soon realises that she has fallen in love with this giant of a man and as he calls her his “Fallen Angel” and he is sure that they will have many years together. They will have offspring who she will love and raise and when they are old enough, they will go out into the world as strong and brave as their father and loving and caring as their mother.
I guarantee that you will love this book and that you will not be able to out it down until you reach the end and discover the outcome.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the wonderful writing.

I love, love, love Stolen by The Submarine! Stolen by the Submarine is my favorite in the whole series so far! I just love Port and how his little Omega won over his savage heart. Yes, the Alpha is ruthless and kills without a thought, but when it comes to Coral, Port would go to the ends of the world to give Coral whatever she desired and saved her from a sick human trafficking ring by a group of ladies called The Sisters. Yes, the short is short, but boy, it does get pretty steamy! Coral learns to open her heart to Port and learns to trust that he truly wants to keep her as his mate, to make her happy, to give her a great life. Port tells her that he wants her to be the mother of their children. I love how this big savage of a man, just becomes a puddle of goo when Coral finally opens her heart to him. I also love how the author shows how Coral and Port truly need one another to feel love, to give trust and how their characters grow throughout the short story. I admit, I took my time with this one, because they are so short!!!!!!!!!!! I really enjoy reading this one a great deal and I feel it worth the five stars and the time to read it. V.T. Bonds has created another dream world of the Knottieverse and you can't help fall in love with the characters. Stolen by the Submarine is a great read and so worth your time. Get the book, Port and Coral are such an awesome couple! I just love them!

3.5 stars. Coral, the female omega lead, has been raised in seclusion by a beta female group with the expectation that she’ll be a broodmare, with heats sold to raise funds for the group and her children raised by others so she can keep going. Now, on the eve of her first heat, she’s in a cage to keep her “safe” until her heat.

Then Port, the male alpha lead, brings his submarine up from the depths, kills the rabid alphas threatening Coral, snatches her, and takes her back into the depths of the ocean. Coral is sure that he’ll kill or abuse her but Port knows he’s been looking for an omega for a decade and he’s going to make sure she’s with him for at least that long!

This short story is dual POV, well written, and a sci fi, dystopian, romantic erotica piece. I enjoyed Port’s focus on Coral and providing what she needed, though he was somewhat rougher than my preference. I empathised with Coral’s concerns and enjoyed her willingness to believe Port’s reassurances. The intimate scenes were erotic, intense and appropriate. I really enjoyed the peace between characters at the end.

I received a complimentary copy from the author and this is my voluntary honest review.

it starts off with the omega 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐥 in the "safety" of her cage during the aüctı0n. shes the 1st omega for sale in decades & was raised by the sisters who were watching the proceedings. her instructions from them were clear: remain untouched & unmarred 2bring the highest price. but with the crazed half-starved alphas, that was harder to maintain.

in comes alpha 𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 aka 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒖𝒃𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒆, who have searched for an omega for decades, rose from the depths of the ocean, steals her from the auction, & takes her back to his underwater empire.

Port and Coral are my favourite of the waterworld knottiverse couples so far. I loved this quick read as it was less growly possessive alpha (who am I kidding, Port was definitely all those things) and more two people rescuing each other and wanting to find comfort. Port was kinder than his alpha predecessors and I loved that both characters wanted to start a family together. Coral was so terrified of her imaginery babies being taken away from her and all Port wanted was an omega to share a family with.

I do love this post apocalyptic world of alphas seeking their hidden omegas. But this just held a little extra romance for me. Coral wasnt taken from a situation she was surviving in. Port truly rescued her from an awful situation and she was better for his attentions, his hoarding of nesting materials and his care.

If you love a domineering alpha falling for their tiny omega mate then this is must read. V.T. Bonds does not disappoint with these super steamy quick reads.

This sexy short dystopian Omegaverse story is Port and Coral’s story.  Port is the top alpha of a submarine that has his own goals and rules.  Goal number one for over a decade has been for find his Omega.  As luck would have it, he finds a caged one, Coral.
 
Coral is raised by The Sisters and is trained for one thing, to be sold to the highest bidder for her first heat.  What a horrible fate, until she is literally stolen and taken by a huge alpha from her cage at bidding time.  When she is taken onto a submarine, she trades one cage for another, and this one has no escape.  Will her fate be any better with this alpha?  You must read to find out!
 
It has everything you could want, a hot dominant alpha, and a scared cute omega.  Put them together and you have a steamy story and a very HEA guaranteed!

Stolen By The Submarine - Alpha and Omega

‘Chills and heat alternate down my spine. My abused insides throb in remembered pain, but I can’t back down from the challenge. I need the tension between myself and this giant alpha. Every moment he caters to my will is another moment I dig my claws deeper into his heart. Maybe, with enough intensity, I can break through his defenses and become indispensable, not only in body, but also in spirit. He’s already stolen my heart. I need him. I want him. He’s mine.’

Omega Coral has been captured. Alpha Port has found his mate.

We have another intense coupling in Stolen by the Submarine: A Dark and Steamy Dystopian Romance. (The Knottiverse: Alphas of the Waterworld Book 6)

You will get everything V.T. Bonds promises, while reading these short, yet intimate stories!

Okay, so this was by far my favorite one. Once again, I say with all honesty that each and every book VT Bonds comes out with I love more than the last. I think I have a favorite one and then another book releases and I fall more in love. I can’t believe how good these are.

Coral is far from weak, she is a survivor through and through. And Port, he becomes her savior when he steals her away. I absolutely loved their dynamic and they are perfect together. Their personalities mesh well with each other.

Another one of VT Bonds books that I can recommend with a full heart. They may be short and low on plot but the heat will create a wildfire. Go ahead and read this. You’ll fall into them and burn throughout the pages

This was a good story to read. A very short story, but still enjoyable. This book held my attention from the very first page to the very last with Coral held in a cage on a ship with raving alpha surrounding her, trying to grab her from inside the cage, so they could enjoy her first heat. Then along comes Port, an alpha to be feared, he forces his way through the Alphas surrounding Coral and takes her for himself back into his submarine. There he shows her the respect that she has never had before, and that all omega should feel. The story ends with Coral being with child and shown what her life would be like with her alpha.

I was given an advanced copy of this book to read and I am reviewing with my honest and fair opinion.

I am 100% certain that this one is and will always be my favorite of the series!

Watching Port and Coral want exactly the same thing but coming from two completely different perspectives was so so so fun to read. Proving each other wrong in their assumptions about the other and finally just communicating what they know/didn’t know about what they wanted from each other blossomed the best Alpha/Omega couple in the series!

Port was every bit of the growly, dominant alpha but in an endearing way with Coral. He wanted her so much, but was holding himself back for her. I loved that she realized he could’ve been so much rougher and he didn’t for her. And her giving him everything he wanted was so sweet.

And the spice in this one, holyyyyy hotnesssss 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I think V.T. has become the Sovereign of short but sweet and sizzling stories.
Stolen by the Submarine and all the quick reads in Bonds’ Alphas of the Waterworld series are perfect for those times when you have an hour or two to rest, retreat from everyday stresses, but want rev your engines a little! Port, the alpha of the Submarine, and his newly found omega, Coral, sure did rev this story up. I loved it. I'm already planning my next "rest time" to coincide with the release of VT's next Waterworld installment. :) I had the privilege of reviewing an early copy of this book, and this is my honest opinion.

This story has two fascinating sides!
🔸️ On the one hand, it is extremely spicy 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶, primal and focused on basic instincts. The steamy scenes are filthy, depraved and juicy from A to Z.

🔸️ On the other side, this is a story about 2 people who have deep need and well hidden desire to create emotional connection and intimate safety. Their longings and yearnings completes each other on expectional level. ❤️

🔸️All of that is placed in captivating but brutal and dreadful dystopian setting.

🔸️ Very well written and smooth to read.

🔸️ An exquisite reading experience.
A must read for all fans of deviously possessive Alphas and their kinky Omegas.

So, this is definitely my favorite of the Knottiverse. I loved the dynamic between Port and Coral. I felt like in this story there was more of a connection between them and the story flowed so well. I liked reading that from the start she figured he would be mean to her, but he was more gentle than she expected or was used to.

As always, V.T. Bonds did a great job in such a short story where she conveyed so much. I always love reading her stories, and about her characters.

If you're looking for a great novella with redeemable characters, a quick plot, and great spice, this series is for you.

OMG 😱 this was an FANTASTIC book. It was a page turner and the suspense was very interesting. I was on the edge of my seat and I couldn’t even put it down. The chemistry between Port and Coral’s was spicy and steamy of physical attraction. Go buy run out a buy the book you going to loved it 😍. Will this bond and the connection between them is worth the while of romance and drama.
I definitely recommend this book and you won’t regret reading it or disappointed. I received advance copy of this book via Bookfunnel and am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion. Trina Jones

I love that the names of the Alpha's in this series are basically nautical terms. Port is an alpha that both has self control and doesn't have self control. Especially when it comes to Coral.

They had a very steamy book. But I really do appreciate how much story can be packed into a short quick read. And this author does a great job at these quick reads in this part of her Knottiverse. Also probably my favorite series in her Knottiverse as well. So happy there are 2 more left! Tho I will be sad when the series is over!

THE BEST PORT IN ANY STORM

"He's too potent. Too addictive. Too delicious." "I have this sweet little angel to keep me company. Forever."

V.T. Bonds knows how to capture the imagination with yet another enthralling dystopian omegaverse. Where societal norms have been completely upended, this novel is different to previous that I have read in the series, as the Omega embraces her surroundings, creating a unique and compelling story. Again, add this and the other books in this series to your TBR List, as they are a must read for fans of unconventional romances and richly imagined worlds. You will love being stolen by the submarine!!

Omega for sale

I love this series of books. I just can’t get enough of these short stories. Coral is the epitome of innocence. All Coral knows is that she will be sold by the sisters for breeding and popping out babies for the rest of her life. All her younglings will be taken from her so that she can pop out another baby. A large black monster rises from the sea and rams the boat. From the belly of the submarine comes a huge alpha and his crew. Port (a.k.a. the submarine) Snatches Coral from her harsh reality and her cage. I recommend this book to all those readers who like it hot.

This one adds a new dynamic, the Sisters, beta women controlling and selling Omegas and it sets the tone of the story, how their influence and treatment of Coral, the omega of the story, impacts her and how she sees Alphas and what she expects.

Port and Coral have a different relationship than the previous Alphas and Omegas in the series, this one is the Alpha being more of a saviour and the Omega overcoming what she has been taught and seen from other Alphas. Sure Port is still possessive and growl-y but he is "softer" than the other alphas.

I enjoyed this one.

hard and soft in all the right places

This story begins with Coral trying to accept her fate and stay safe in the midst of a rowdy auction with her as the merchandise. Port isn’t exactly Prince Charming, but he spares her from an ordeal she very likely wouldn’t have survived. She’s quiet and grateful but strong in the way omegas are. Their unconventional start doesn’t stop their dystopian romance from being epic. It’s a quick and dirty read full of filth but also a burgeoning sense of hope. Well done!

Another super sexy bite-sized story but this one about a Submarine!

Coral and her Alpha Port take us on quite the emotional rollercoaster ride. I loved these two together. He was fierce and protective, and she was gentle and craved love.

“You’re mine. My female. My omega. My fallen angel.”

This may be more of an emotional story but there was still a whole hell of a lot of steamy moments that we crave from this sexy omegaverse series.

Filled with action, suspense, danger, drama, emotional turmoil, and loads of intense steamy moments!! Perfect!!

Loved it!!

"You asked for this, baby. No going back now. You're mine. My female. My omega. My fallen angel."

This was is definitely my favorite in the whole Knottverse: Alphas of the Waterworld series.

I love that Port took the time to get Coral to trust him and to believe he wanted a future before doing too much with her. I loved that she almost instantly felt safe with him even though she didn't fully believe it all.

This was a great story between these two!

This is an ARC review and is my honest opinion.

This was another wonderful addition to this engaging series. Alpha Port and omega Coral were fab together. He may have kidnapped her to be his omega but he was a fab blend of pushy and willing to meet her emotional needs. Coral was sweet and naive but she was definitely willing to have the best future possible. She accepted their connection and fought hard for it. Expect a hot and emotional read with action and all things knotty when you dive into this fun read. Can't wait for more :D
