Raydn
Twenty years after Earth’s total destruction, a group of human women are struggling to survive on their failing space station. Their only hope is being rescued by the Venkorians, but at what price…
Adryn is one of the first to be chosen for transportation to Venkoria. She didn’t know what to expect when she woke up in a cage, but it wasn’t being purchased, treated like a pet, and being injected with an unknown liquid that makes her attracted to her captor.
Struggling to convince her owner, Raydn, that she is a human being who can take care of herself is exhausting. Utterly draining as she finds herself fighting with Raydn every chance she gets to prove herself. But Adryn finds herself wanting to please him, touch him, gain his praise and affection with each passing day.
Only travel to Venkoria if you’re prepared to embark on a journey of deeply intimate relationships between demanding Daddy Doms and the humans they are destined to command.

Intense, Spicy, and Darkly Addictive
Book 2 of the Venkorians series, Raydn, by Everly Raine is a wild, high-stakes ride that takes the "alien abduction" trope to a much darker, more intimate level. Everly Raine doesn’t hold back in this second installment of the Venkorians series, delivering a story that is equal parts survival and total surrender.
What I loved:
The Tension: Adryn’s fire and her constant battle for autonomy against Raydn’s "owner" persona made for incredible friction.
The Moral Gray Area: The "loyalty injection" adds a fascinating (and spicy) layer of psychological conflict. Seeing Adryn navigate her natural defiance versus her chemically induced need for Raydn’s praise kept me hooked.
The World-Building: The stakes of a dying human race add a heavy sense of desperation to the romance.
Word to the Wise: This is a true Dark Romance featuring heavy Daddy Dom/pet play dynamics and dub-con elements. If you love alpha alien heroes who are over-the-top possessive and "commanding," you will devour this.
A gripping, steamy, and emotional addition to the series!

A simply captivating read, wonderful characters and plot that will hold you riveted
Adryn is feisty and has also is known for the amount of anxiety she tends to suffer from and it seems that phobia she has been suffering from denotes that she may have made a few mistakes but that I found the interactions to be fascinating.
Radyn realises that he has to take a different approach and that he will have to realise how debilitating it is for the characters and the situation, it was a very captivating read and I am sure that other readers will be as captivated by this book as I was when I was reading this book.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the wonderful writing.

THE VENKORIANS
Book 2
Adryn is thrust into a world with the Venkorians only to find herself treated like a pet and called a companion. Expected to sleep in a cage, wear a diaper or pee in designated areas with pee pads on the floor. But she finds herself attracted to Raydn thanks to a injection she was given. But Raydn finds himself attracted and drawn to Adryn as well.
Be prepared to get sucked into this fantasy world of the author. They weave the world so well it is easy to get drawn in.
This is the second book in the series and the first by author Everly Raine.
Great series so far looking forward to reading more in the series.

This book was intense in a way that sits with you long after you close it.
Set in a post-Earth world where survival comes at a terrifying cost, Raydn throws us straight into a story about power, control, desire and what it means to hold onto your humanity when everything is stripped away.
Adryn’s journey is raw and exhausting. From waking up caged, claimed and altered against her will to then constantly fighting to be seen as a person and not property. Her anger, resistance and need for autonomy felt real, even when desire complicated everything. Raydn’s dominant presence makes every interaction crackle with tension.

Delightful, well written and entertaining.
I like how feisty Adryn is, standing up for herself in unknown circumstances. I really appreciated the humourous phrasing, I had a few chuckles with the culture clashing.
I like how considerate Radyn is of Adryn's phobia, after realizing how debilitating it is he steps up and does everything he can to mitigate the issue.
As other girls are rescued, I am sure their personalities with bring a whole new set of worries and problems to their Daddies.
I can't wait.

This is book two in the Venkorians series. Two books will be released on the same day by two authors working together. There is a clear difference in the authors' writing styles, but it works in this series.
Raydn chooses Adryn as his pet, and once she receives the shot that binds her to her daddy, she becomes VERY attached. She does not like being away from Raydn at all. This causes some difficulties, but they work through it. This is a sweet story, and I'm looking forward to the next books in the series.

I am really looking forward to book 3!

How fun is it to get two books in a series out on the same day?!?! It was interesting seeing how both Men treated their pets in different ways. I look forward to more pets coming to this planet. I really hope to get to see the girls interact together. This is something way different than I have ever read before and it did take a bit to get into. I look forward to the next books and what I can uncover. Happy Reading.

Pretty quick read. If you’ve read the Eleadian mates series by Paige Michaels you’ll enjoy this series.
This book is the second in a series written by both Paige and Everly and is the first book by Everly Raine I’ve read.
The connection between Adryn and Radyn was well written but the book could have used a last minute edit.
Some grammatical errors and doubled sentences but wasn’t enough to make me DNF. Overall I enjoyed this book and will definitely continue the series.

Adryn and Raydn
I am loving this new world that Paige and Everly are writing in. Adryn has a lot of anxiety and Raydn figures out, after a few mistakes, that he will need to take a different approach than he originally planned. There was less steam and more cuddles and relationship building. I am looking forward to the next book!

This is a very enjoyable pet/age-play story, very well done. The world is vividly described and the characters are real and alive. I enjoyed all the interactions between Adryn and Raydn and how their relationship developed. I received an advanced reader copy of this book and am leaving an honest review. I hope that there will be lots more stories from this world.

Second book in this series . Adryn ends up with Raydn. Their story is super sweet. Nice take on a little dynamic. Absolutely loved it. A++

I’ve forgotten how poorly Everly Raine edits her stories. She really needs a copy editor.

I read this book, but it didn’t have much depth to the story.
