Alien Warrior's Captive Earthling
Zyn is an ice-cold alpha alien. All emotion has been tortured out of him, and now he is a weapon with fangs. Until he meets her.
She has his species most desired food… her hot blood.
He didn’t think Tellurians still lived, but now he has rescued one. He thought he was ice… and had no feelings. He thought he was only good at one thing… being a lethal warrior.
But the Tellurian named Anna, a soft civilian, battles him at every turn. She is as beautiful as she is vexing and outspoken, and she is getting under his icy control.
Anna wants her freedom, but she never imagined an alien with a rocking hot body and icy control would be the one to save her. But if he doesn’t listen to her soon, she’s going to have to take him down… with a kiss, just to show him who is really the boss.

Just too slow paced and boring. I couldn't finish it.

You know...I REALLY HATE that I have to review this book at a 3. There is such promise in the plot and storyline. But the writer was very stilted and the scenes were very sketchy. I give reviews like this because I am not trying to be a book basher. I just see such promise in this story but it falls flat. IF, and yes IF the author writes another story continuing this group, I will read it. No matter what I ALWAYS FINISH the book.
The question I ask is-Can the author write a sequel and it be better written and edited? Im going to follow and see. I do look forward to future writings.

Unique
2.5 Stars
Alien Warrior's Captive Earthling by Kat Emm, needs some work; but it does have fun world building, which she can expanded. First the title really? Yikes! No imagination, as it more a synopsis than a book title. Second the story is unique, I will give the author points for originality. Alien Deadly Shoes! But what makes the shoes so lethal is never explained. Third the books sentence structure and language usage was written as if English may not have been the authors first language, as there are glaring omissions that English language people use, and other dialects omit. Yes, English is a wordy complex mess of a language. Fourth the book needs edited because of this as words are omitted and grammar is misused. When I say edited I don't mean just proof read, actually edited for content and structure. Whereas proof reading is just for grammar mistakes and far too many authors rely on spell and grammar check, and don't actual hirer a qualified proof reader, that actually reads their books.
The book despite the problems is getting two and half stars from me because of the world building and characters that inhabit the world that Emm has created. Emm has left lots of room so that she can flesh out her universe. At the moment it is a feudal one with a rebel faction, rescuing innocents out of slavery. Two and a half stars does not make a bad book, it is a book with problems that can be fixed. The author had built a fun science fiction world, so author Emm, 'don't throw the baby out with the bath water', hirer good people to support your art and I will read more books written by you.
The secondary characters were fun and I see an Axi and Brax book in the authors future.

Neat idea ruined by odd writing. I had to reread several sentences in the first few pages and some still didn't make sense. This doesn't read like a final draft.
The plot is sporadic and nonsensical. The dialogue is cheesy. The chemistry is good. No world building.

It could have been awesome. I love these type of stories, but the writing... good lord....
It was confusing, contradictory and just plain annoying.

Sexy Alien
I enjoyed the storyline
I enjoyed the characters and how they were written
I like how Zyn was not unemotional when Anna was around even though he tried to be.

I WAS GIVEN THIS BOOK FOR AN HONEST REVIEW AND THIS IS MY HONEST OPINION
A MUST READ IF YOU LIKE ALIENS, FUTURE TIME STORIES ,MODERN VAMPIRES (VIPERS)
Zyn, a half breed Viper - a type of vampire-but he doesn't drink human blood, (he is all mission oriented)is the commander of a ship , his second in command is Axi , full blooded Viper, Zyn is,(was after the money a job paid). On this trip they are told that a Duchess Mako could be a captive and a BIG reward for getting her back and bring home. But they find a Tellurian (human,very rare) woman being tortured by two Izard,he killed them an freed her from the devices they were using on her, then quickly carried her to his ship.Axi went for the Duchess. Zyn knew he had to let the Duchess think that the girl was dead. You learn about Zyn,what made him like he is, why he thinks the way he does, even why it might be that he took the change he did in saving the Tellurian and what would take place till the end of the book.The pull and push relationship between Zyn and Anna from the time he finds her broken until the story stops and I say stops because I hope there will be more, of them and Axi and Boneeater(most peoples enemy)/ Brax(Anna thought was friend while slave to the Duchess).BUT THEY ALSO HAD TO DEAL WITH A COMPLETE BETRAYAL FROM SOMEONE ZYN TRUSTED. AS SOME ARE SAYING THERE ARE SOME MISTAKES THAT WERE NOT CAUGHT BUT IF YOU ENJOY READING, YOU CAN READ REPLACING THE RIGHT WORD WITHOUT TO MUCH OF A PROBLEM.

Didn't Hate it,but I sure as Hell didn't enjoy it ;(
A good book/story to me is a fun fast flowing ride that you never want to end,this ? Was a long slow dry uphill slog and I was relieved when it was over ....... Zyn and Anna were ok but honestly I wasn't crazy about either, Anna was just kinda "there " to me she was ok, but just had enough personality and development to say she was there and Zyn ,well he played the I think I'm noble saving the h from big bad me,cold alone aloof BS for Sooo long by the time he started to begin to allow himself to thaw and maybe start to enjoy Anna at least 70% thru the book, I not longer cared in the slightest. We never totally understood the plot that brought Zyn and Anna together in the 1st place and I honestly like Axi and Brax more even if they were barely in the book.... Though I'm sure that's not why,but in seemingly barely in the story 5 seconds it seems they were both more funny and more interesting than both the main characters combined ....
And that last bit at the end with Vane was complete and utter BS!!!!! Totally useless and didn't add to or enhance the story in ANYWAY!
I'm off to delete rather ticked off the refund period is only 7 days... We deserve at least a month ;(
Ps. Not sure why I gave 3 stars and not the 2 it deserved... Not sure why but despite how I feel 2 just felt spiteful thou that what it has in my heart ...

Zyn is a "Viper" (vampire basically), and a mercenary. He rescues Anna from an alien vessel after she is tortured.
Anna is an indentured servant to a wicked Duchess. Wanting nothing more than freedom. These two have been through so much in the past, can they find a place to be together?
When these two come together there is a scorching fire of epic proportions. The chemistry is hot enough to fog up, and incinerate your ereader! The sexy scenes are mouth watering. The characters are fully formed and the storyline is action packed. Some of the secondary characters are an absolute delight and will have you laughing out loud. This is a sci-fi thrill ride. Intrigue, cleverly hidden weapons, different alien species, political spies, bad guys who are not so bad, there is plenty here to keep you on the edge of your seat. Going through the emotions and experiences with the characters was an absolute thrill. The author has the talent to draw a reader into the story seamlessly and absolutely snare them hook-line-and-sinker! Fantastic read, I loved it!

Zyn and Anna. Anna is a Tellurian, which I guess is futuristic speak for human. Zyn is a half breed alien who was raised by a controlling crazy person. Zyn and his mercenary crew find her while rescuing an abhorrent princess for the reward. He keeps the fact that Anna survived a secret to help her escape. All would have been fine if it weren't for the princess's shoes!!!
Sounds weird I know. But the book had loads of good material and (I hate to say it) really could have been a bit longer. I guess I will have to wait for the sequel and hope that Zyn and Anna are in it.
I really liked that the characters were not 'black and white'/'good and bad'. A couple of the characters lose their bad-assness along the way and that was disappointing but didn't ruin it for me.

Not a bad alien romance
This was not a bad story. It has a okay plot and good pacing. I like the characters but I would love to have a little more detail into the main male character.... he is described as a Viper but then there's not really a lot of detail as to what a Viper is ( apparently some type of vampire ). Also, the ending was a little lame … A coworker of two years decides to turn him in for the bounty so that he can use the money to fix himself so he can get out of the spacesuit he has to wear all the time, and there was not a lot of explanation as to what that was all about. Needed a bit more background to flesh out the characters and the plot could've used a little work.

I give this a 3.5. The cover is awesome, I know this is going to be a Sci-Fi.
I have to say that I really liked the story. The characters are very interesting. And it had a good pace. The only thing that would of made it better and less disjointed and pull me in, would of been if somethings were expanded on, like the mystery behind the shoes, the conflict going on, Zyn background ( it took me half way threw to figure out that he was half vampire and half I don't know what)and a bit more on Anna( I didn't even realize she was a human).
I Liked the secondary characters and like to see what happens with them. The ending I didn't care to much for.
But I enjoyed this enough that I will Read the next book when comes out.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
The worst thing about this book is its title.
Whilst I really liked this book there are areas where it could have done with a bit more information. It's difficult to explain this better without giving away some of the plot and I'll admit that I don't like reading reviews that give away too much.
There are a couple of grammar errors but these did not detract from my enjoyment.
I liked the way Kat drew the main male character from being emotionless to feeling love.
I've not been able to find anything else by this author but I will keep an eye out and hopefully the next book will have a better title.

Unstoppable
We like books that show us romance is there no matter what the situation is. Anna is a lowly human stuck in an alien world. Unfortunately she is a slave until she pays her debt of getting off of her dying planet. Zyn is a mercenary who fights for the innocents. He was once ruled by another and he broke out unfortunately he didn't get free. As they navigate through new feelings and developing freedoms we see that they aren't that different.

Really cool alien story.
This is a good read. Had to read in one sitting did not want to put it down. You have alien shoes that can kill, hybrid viper who shows no emotions and a human indentured women who has been thru hell and back. Throw in a few more aliens and hold on for an adventure. Recommend to all paranormal readers.

Outstanding Book!!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Extremely well written story. Well developed, vivid, and relatable characters. I was engaged immediately to the plot and the story pulled me in so quickly that I couldn't set it down until I found out what happened in the end!! This is a great addition to anyone's e-library!!!!!!

I downloaded this through the kindle lending library, and I'm glad I did. I wouldn't have wanted to pay for this. The blurb sounded interesting, like a sci-fi version of a vampire but the execution was severely lacking. I didn't like the heroine at all. I couldn't even connect with the hero. It wasn't for me.
September 21, 2015
I have no idea what's going on here.
Ummm ... I don't even know what to say. So many dead end plots. Main parts of the book were never explained. The idea of an ice cold vamp and turning him hot again was genius, but the other stuff ? It made no sense. Ugh

The premise was very interesting. The story would have benefited to have been tidied up but in general I look forward to another installment.

Entertaining read by not spectacular. Could have used more development.
December 29, 2015
Wish it could involve other characters story, like axi and brax, to know their story continued. Otherwise it was okay.
January 3, 2016
Well, it fell apart a bit at the end, but good! Kind of shallow, but still interesting! Really liked the characters, but there was Logic Fail (tm). Want Axi and Brax???? book pls thnx.
