Yozef

by Paige Michaels, The Venkorians

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…

Zoey is scared and confused while she sits for days in a cage in a Venkorian holding center. Finally, a giant alien man shows up. She can’t understand a word he’s saying, but she’s grateful to no longer be in a kennel. Where is he taking her and what does he expect from her? Her anxiety grows as she learns her true fate. Trust and acceptance are the hardest lessons she’ll ever learn.

Yozef gets to the warehouse as soon as he can to pick up his new pet. He’s heard the rumors. Human females are far more intelligent than expected. That doesn’t change the fact that she will need to be restrained most of the time for her own safety. As the bond grows between them, Yozef realizes he will do anything for his Little pet—even if that means angering her to ensure she is always protected.

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.

A captivating read, Zoey has been sent to Venkoria from the space station she has spent most of her life
Zoey has no idea what to expect since she was removed from the space station where she has been living and helping the other girls survive, it is a hard life and it is obvious that the resources are running too short for them all to survive which is why some have been sent to Venkoria.
Yosef arrives at the warehouse where his Pet is supposed to be being looked after by the guards in charge but on arriving it is obvious that the care has been lacking and that the girls have not been fed and watered properly.
As Zoey learns her fate with Yozef she becomes more stressed and as the bond begins to strengthen between them and he realises that human’s females are in fact very intelligent and it is obvious that the life they will have together will be very happy and he wants to do whatever she needs to be happy.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the wonderful writing.

I enjoyed visiting the Venkorians with their unusual lifestyle.

I sympathized with Zoey as she was so scared for her new life and what it would entail, I was equally frustrated with Yozef and his first interactions with her.

I get a good laugh at some of these Daddies, they start off being so stern and rigid and end up almost being a pushover for their 'pets'. Giving more rewards, freedoms and additional comforts than originally anticipated.

I really like that they are willing to bond themselves to their pet, so it is not a one way relationship. Even with all the training and discipline, there is obvious affection displayed between Zoey and her Daddy.

I was thrilled to see all the security measures that Yozef had implemented for his Little girl's safety. I wasn't as thrilled with how often he reminded her that he had bought her, although he did say it was his very best purchase. Ever.

Yozef and Zoey
This is part of the The Venkorians Series that Paige Michaels and Everly Raine write together each authoring their own book in the series. Each are stand-alones so you don't have to start at book 1.
The series features The Venkorians who have acquired human females with the intent to sell them as pets to other Venkorians.
This book follows Zoey who is bought by Yozef. She is more subdued than other human females have been. Although she does have an attitude and a rebellious streak at being treated as a pet.
Zoey was injected with a type of thing that makes her attracted to Yozef's pheromones. Which helps with in the spice department.
There is spanking of course and edging.
But Paige Michaels can write Sci-Fi Daddy romance like no other.
So emerge yourself in this series and treat yourself.

hit and miss for me

This author is a hit & miss for me. Unfortunately this was a miss. I tried to suspend my since of reality and just enjoy it for what is is. But I just couldn’t. In every instance of something that supposed to be seen as loving and caring it came across as just manipulation & control. There was absolutely zero actual care given. Again just manipulation & punishment. I don’t view submission as weakness but this book demanded it. They literally wanted weak dumb toys. While refusing to acknowledge these were women with intelligence and needs of their own. Yozef just came across as petty, selfish & stubborn.

This is another great read in the Venkorians series. Yozef is a little bit of a control freak. He owns Zoey, and she will do as he says. The guards at the center do not do a good job of caring for Zoey, and she is in bad shape by the time Yozef picks her up. But they do end up with their HEA.

I agree with another reviewer: these Daddies talk a big game in the beginning, but in the end, they are wrapped around their new pet's fingers. I'm waiting for the book when all the pets can get together again. It has never made sense that the girls are so isolated from one another.

Yozef by Paige Michaels is the next book by her in The Venkorians series, and it was such a ride!

Trust and acceptance of new circumstances, different living situations, other cultures, feelings you dont quite understand, all of this adds up beautifully in this story as Zoey explored her new normal, and her connection with Yozef, and vice versa. The unexpected, the inexplicable, the simple beauty of what's possible when you give it a true chance.

This was a lot of fun, it pushed boundaries and also showed how they can be reinforced, and their connection grew into something magical!

I loved how this story unfolded. Zoey is sassy and inquisitive. YoZEF is strict and demanding with a large caring side. I really enjoyed their story. I am in awe of this author and her talent. There are plenty of different elements in this well written story that will bring the reader alone including lots of hot sexy deep age-play. I loved the way the characters educated each other. I received an advanced reader copy of this story and am leaving an honest review. This is a sweet sexy read.

I like that even though all these women are coming from the same place their experience of being a Vankorian is different in ways but similar in others. I liked Zoey, she found out so much about herself after Yozef comes for her. Yozef wasn't going to give any leeway to Zoey and he was right about what they both needed. I liked that Zoey realizes the way he is with her is out of love and what she needed.

I read an ARC and am leaving my honest and voluntary review.

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I thoroughly enjoy reading about Yozef and Zoey, Yozef is from the Planet "Venkorian", he has finally taking a female earthling as a pet. Zoey is the last female that had been brought to the planet, Zoey does not know how long she was left in the cage, she was given stuff to help her. When Yozef came to claim her she was given an item so they can communicate with each other, they became very close and now they would do anything to keep each other happy.

Yozef has brought a pet named Zoey . He tells her she will listen and do as he says,Zoey is ill and scared of going to planet and her new life. As I read the story in beginning i was so mad at Yozef how he treated zoey but by the end he changed and Zoey gets her hea i only wish she and the other girls could get together soon

I was lucky enough to get an ARC of this book by the author and really loved it. It was rough going for Zoey at first but after she was with Yozef, she gradually accepted the fact that she was better with Yozef than on the failing space station.

[Kristina Pernice · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am loving this series more and more. It’s so nice to see this Baby Girls getting to be more them. An alien caring for them more than an animal even when demanding all of her. Man I wish men in the really world could do the same thing with their tongue. It’s spicy and sweet. Happy Reading!!

Outstanding!! It's fascinating how the Venkorian men adjust their lifestyles in consideration of what the characters of the previous stories went through.

I read a beta copy of this book.

[Fiatgal · Rating 4 out of 5]

Paige Michaels's stories are always well-written and highly imaginative. This one seemed a little too Stepford Wife, or Stockholm Syndrome.
