En un momento estoy entrenando a los reclutas, y al siguiente despierto para ver a tres brutales alienígenas mirándome desde el otro lado de mi celda.
No pueden ser otra cosa que alienígenas, con piel aterciopelada de color ébano, gruesos músculos, cuernos que se alzan desde sus sienes y se enroscan sobre sus cabezas, y alas que se despliegan tras ellos. La forma en que me inmovilizan con sus ojos negros y ardientes despierta algo en mi interior. Algo no deseado. Algo... diferente.
Estamos todos prisioneros de otra especie alienígena. Estos reptiles son despiadados, y está claro que, mientras los alienígenas de piel de carbón son guerreros, yo no soy más que un señuelo.
Están luchando por acercarse a mí, y no es ningún secreto lo que harán cuando finalmente logren ponerme las manos encima.
Omega. Ella es quien disipa la niebla en nuestras mentes y nos trae claridad. Es la clave para una libertad que nunca supimos que nos habían arrebatado.
Su aroma nos llama. Corta a través de la niebla que ha llenado nuestras mentes y ha robado nuestra voluntad, nuestra autonomía. Nuestro ser.
Ella nos hace recordar quiénes somos. Lo que nos fue robado. Nos da un propósito más allá de los interminables experimentos que nos llevan al límite de nuestra resistencia física. Cada prueba es más peligrosa que la anterior, hasta que ella se convierte en el ser que nuestros amos ponen en peligro mortal.
Puede que ella luche contra nosotros. Que luche contra su deseo. Que luche contra lo que realmente es. Pero eso no importa. La salvaremos. La protegeremos. Lucharemos contra las mismas criaturas en las que confiamos nuestras vidas y reclamaremos nuestro reino.
Y entonces, la reclamaremos a ella.
Este es el cuarto de la serie 'Planetas Robados'. Aunque cada libro contiene un romance separado y un final feliz entre una afortunada mujer humana y sus compañeros alienígenas, se recomienda leer esta serie en orden.

Key tropes include: - Scent matches - Fated mates - Hurt/ comfort - Touch her and die - Enemies to lovers
From the first page, this was compelling and action packed. Not to mention very steamy. It’s a heart pounding beginning: Zoe is an unwitting Omega who awakens in a cell to find three winged aliens desperately trying to break through the barrier of her cell to get to her all while being stunned and beaten by depraved guards. The alphas can’t recall even their own names, nor how long they’ve been held captive or why, but they’re certain that the unclothed human woman crumpled on the ground in the filthy cell is destined for them.
Although the fourth in a series, I had no trouble jumping into this one without having read any of the previous books. I couldn’t put this book down: it’s got fantastic world building, strong female lead, a trio of alphas who’ll do whatever it takes to protect their mate (fyi our heroes and shero are going to suffer not just a little bit before everything is said and done). I will definitely be reading the other books in the series as soon as possible.
I was fortunate to have been furnished an advance reader copy from the author and bookfunnel, and I’m happy to share my honest thoughts.
This book was such a good addition to the series! It was great to have a different starting situation to the other books, with the FMC Zoe and her alphas Vex, Shax and Zylas, being in captivity and under the control of the Uglix and having to find a way out. As with the previous books it was great to see that the FMC had a job on Earth that proved very useful in their situation, this time being an Ex Green Beret, highly trained in physical warfare but bearing a lot of psychological trauma and PTSD that she has to work through. Her three mates were perfect to balance her out and help her heal, Vex with his strength and steadiness, Shax with his fierceness and protective nature, and Zylas was just a bubble of sunshine with an adorable animal sidekick as well. The author did and amazing job at approaching and handling the PTSD aspect of the FMC's personality and it was well written and extremely respectful of people who experience it. Can't wait for the next in the series, the hint that we got at the end of this one shows it's going to be an interesting one too!

HARB Made me Choose a favourite: Zylas, because he was such a damn bubble of sunshine, and the animal sidekick was a bonus!
Zoe is captured from Earth and changed by her captors into an omega so they can study what a group of alphas will do to her when she goes into heat, even though the head “scientist” knows they will rip her apart in their lust. Another group of captured aliens, Shax, Zylas, and Vex, are also part of the experiment as they become aware of Zoe’s scent and will do whatever it takes to get to the unclaimed omega. She becomes their sole focus as they struggle to get to her and then to save her as their minds clear. Will they be able to protect her from their enemies? Will they claim her for their mate? And can they find a way to escape?
The characters are well-written and the reader can feel their fierce struggles as they are manipulated by their sick captors. With the alphas willing to suffer any pain for Zoe, is there hope they can break through the control holding them back from thinking clearly? Will they remember what they need to know to break free? Can there possibly be a HEA somewhere in their journey to reward them for their massive struggle to survive?

With another trio of alien warlords and another human woman, we think we know what we're in for ...
But nope, we're not!!! Imprisoned by our reptilian villains Zoe meets Shaz, Zylas and Vex, and they instantly recognise her omega vibes.
Being a bada$$ military babe its gonna take more than some bars and overgrown lizards to stop her, so my main interest is of course in how the triple threat of hot aliens manage to fight through their medically induced haze to claim Zoe as their own.
Loved love loved the book. Because someone I know always makes us choose, I'm choosing Vex, because if anyone here has watched the Troll hunters series through the aliens plot lines - well, it couldn't NOT be Vex!
I devoured this book in a day. I ate this thing up like it was the last slice of cake. Oh my god. I am OBSESSED. I am an omegaverse girly and I loved how omegaverse was combined with aliens/monsters. There was so much character growth in this book. My heart aches for Zoe and the amount of pain she had to face in her life. “We’ll always find you in the dark. Zoe.” Was my undoing. These alphas were pure perfection.
Note, I also read this book without reading the books before hand. I like living my life on the edge apparently 😂 I’ll now be going back and reading the other books because I’m obsessed!
Zoe doesn't feel like she's good enough and that everything bad that happens is her fault. She is taken from Earth and her DNA changed and now she is an omega. She doesn't know anything about being omega. She was a Green Beret and was training recruits when she was taken. Shax, Zylas, and Vex are under mind control by a group of aliens that was suppose to be helping them. M'Rok is the leader. When they catch Zoe's scent, they recognize her as their omega, now they just have to get free and convince her. Suspense, action and resilience. A great emotional journey. I read an arc of this book and this is my review.
I'm so riveted that I have read 4 books in 2 days and am ready to read books 5 and 6. The only sad part is when the last book is read. I have actually fallen for this planet and the people and creatures living there and I'm rooting for the demise of species trying to destroy the planet and invade earth I love Omega verse but having it in a science fiction setting is an exciting and thrilling ride though for those with a weak stomach and a vivid imagination you may want to skip the fight scenes but I loved every bit of it especially when rescue comes right at the nick of time.
I want to preface this review by saying this is so far from my usual reads - this wasn't for me, no shade in anyway, this genre just isn't my jam. In saying that, this was a great read. The word building was amazing, the characters were all fleshed out and fully realised, the storyline was great it was so easy to get lost in the world created. I won't continue follow through with the series as I said - not my thing, but if you're into alien romance and the omega-verse this one could be for you!
A pulse pounding love story with grit! This book owned me right from the beginning, how a strong woman,a green beret struggles with all that is throwed into her path,add to that three alien alphas completly devoted to her and ,at the same time ,fight against the evil Ulgix. An excelent storyline with so many twists that the expectations are on it's higher before each new book of the series and never disappoints. And a special mention to Snuggles, the caverat companion of Zylas,loved him!
Book 4 of the 'Stolen Planet' Series, "Captured by the Barbarian Warlords" by Charmaine Ross, does not disappoint! This alien omegaverse romance packs lots of heat and emotional growth while expanding on the innovative world/universe building. I love how Ross balances strong female characters with complex pasts against difficult conditions and supportive mates. I also love the adorable sidekicks.
I enjoyed reading this book, the story was amazing, the characters were all fleshed out and fully realised, the storyline was great it was so easy to get lost in the world created. I can't wait to read more from this author. I received this book as a Free ARC copy to read and I voluntarily leave this review.
When something goes wrong, blame Zoe. This has led to a lot of emotional baggage and a reason to trust no one even though she one of the few females in the Green Beret. Abducted, abused and imprisoned on another planet, was just the start of her problems.who would have believed things could only get worse? But the increasing tension and danger will lead to something you won’t see coming!
Me gustó, no tanto como las otras… se siente que va disminuyendo mucho en cuanto a escenas +18, se enfoca más en las emociones y la aceptación de la parte omega.
Sigue siendo el único tipo de omegaverse que me gusta.
Inicio bastante bien pero la historia se sentía un tanto errática considerando la posición de la protagonista Zoé, como soldado de alto rango actuaba de manera demasiado imprudente (ahora sus traumas son otra cosa). En cuanto loa interese amorosos alfas no me quejo, pues tienen una cultura y son como tal “aliens”, pensarán diferente a un humano, más guiado a sus instintos primarios, su punto a favor es que nunca trataron de retenerla e incluso le dieron su espacio para que la protagonista reorganizara sus sentimientos.
En conclusión es una historia entretenida que viene ligeramente conectada con las otras pero se puede leer independientemente (hay un spoiler pero al ser romance más que nada no afecta el conjunto).
This one is my favorite so far because here we actually got to read them “I love you” to each other.
Although, I’m still confused as to how exactly a slimy weak lizard manage to overpower hundreds of alphas, including the alpha warlords and make them his puppets.
Also, I could not with Zoe’s cringey dialogue “I’m a damn Green Baret” “I’m a soldier, I must show no weakness, no emotions” yadah yadah
Puhleaseee, you were abducted, dropped on a far away planet, captured, genetically modified and practically enslave. I think we are way past you having to keep acting so “tough”
