Every ray of light needs darkness to make it shine...

Cora Frey has been working for the Galactic Union for far too long to be rattled by anything. As a Terran investigator on the Corgan world Gaiya, she stands between the violent alien rance and the Union itself, chasing down those who wish either side arm. But when a string of violent murders sweeps the Corgan community, even Cora may have finally seen too much. And it only gets more complicated from there, when one passion-filled night with the most terrifying man in the realm leaves Cora with a surprise she wasn't quite prepared for...

Brocke is the well-kept secret of Corgan society. As the executioner and guard of the Chieftain's private prison, he is what Corgan parents use to scare their kids into behaving, the Guardian. He is the darkness that comes before the light and no nightmare has ever gotten past him. Until now.

But his paths cross with Cora, and the Corgan warlord finds himself considering whether there isn't something to be said about the lighter things in life. And when news of Cora's pregnancy reaches not only Brocke but the evil they're meant to vanquish, all bets are off.

Together, they must chase down a crazed convict and untangle a web of lies and murders that have kept both Corgans and humans on edge for far too long. With Cora's and his unborn child's life is put in danger, only the heartless warlord can be the one to save them both...

Yet if he discovers that he is willing to lose everything he has held dear in the name of this feisty, curvy woman, can he really hold on to what he thought he was?

Will Cora make Brocke become more than a nightmare? Will Brocke win Cora's heart? And above all, will they both survive to see the birth of their child? Find out!

Brocke: Alien Warlord's Conquest is the fourth book in a series of scifi romance novels, following Corgan warriors and the human women that love them. The book contains plenty of love, hardcore warrior lords, lust, a surprise pregnancy and epic battles, so if that's what you love, you've found the right read! These books can and should be read as standalones, there are no cliffhangers and each book contains a guaranteed HEA!

If I didn't love this universe I would've stopped reading this book .

This book was written in haste. There are a lot of conflicting statements from the beginning of the book to the middle of the book to the end of the book. With in the conflicting statements there is no depth of characters. The relationship between Brock and Cora is completely on a physical level.

There needs to be more depth to make the relationship a lasting one for romance genre. Style of writing for this book was so far from what Vi has given us in the past, I was disappointed. This book needed an editor badly. Lots of grammatical mistakes.

Read this book if you like love scenes written from the male perspective.

There are too many conflicting ideas that could've been solved with common sense and Advanced Technology that is already present in the plot.

I had more questions that needed to be answered that were not answered by reading the book. I got a sense that when things were chosen to happen they were purely poor choices for plot devices. Maybe the book needed to simmer more before being released to the public

The action adventure and the investigation of this book is good but the romance needs much more time. I like this world so I enjoyed the book but if you have never read the series I don't think you would like it as much.

This book had a seriously high creepiness factor. There was a LOT of sick stuff going on. Unfortunately our hero is part of that with his role as a psychological torturing super prison guard. I never warmed up to this guy. I just couldn't get past cutting off someone's hand for talking. Add to this a whack job villain who is slaughtering people in the name of racial purity (and doing it in some gruesome ways), and I didn't find this book very romantic. Oh maybe the romance was supposed to be the lurid erotica that we were treated to, including the heroine masturbating for page after page after page. The p word gets used way too much and there's a copious amount of wetness going on. I definitely think this is the low point of this series and it's making me reconsider my insta-buy policy for Vi's stuff.

Wow, what a ride!
Outstanding. It's 30 years after the first book and Brocke is Nadar's son. He's the Enforcer, the Guardian, the Executioner, the fiercest of them all. He's dark, unforgiving the stuff of nightmares. Yummy!
I liked Cora too she was the light to his darkness. I truly enjoyed their story. I really wish it was longer and a little more emphasis on the romance. I've liked all the other books of this series but this one, this one I loooved.

4 stars (ish). I read this thru KU. If I could choose 3.5 stars I would. To me, this book was better than average but suffered from many flaws - if you've read any of my other reviews for this author you will find no surprises here.

First, there are problems inherent in this book: bad editing (missing words, wrong words, misspelled words); and, dodgy content such non-sensical choices made by the characters for no good reason (like taking your girl into known danger, after planning, with no armor or back-up).

Then, there are concerns that arise from reading this book after having read all the others (I've read all of Voxley's KU books). The most glaring is a continuity error-

******SPOILERS******

Condor is hell-bent on destroying Brocke because he is not only his jailor and rumored strongest warrior but also "the first half-breed." In the Daegon book, though, it is said that Nadar & Mara's first child is a girl named Yeva who likes spending time with Daegon's wife Ambassador Swann. Also, this book fell back into the trend of using the phrase "split me in two," or some variation of the same that has been present in every Voxley book except maybe Daegon and Soros. This phraseology has become annoyingly over-used. Similarly the [MFC] in every book, regardless of depicted personality has the same bedroom demeanor (using the F bomb and liking it rough and or however the guy directs, and such).

On the other hand, the level of quality customarily expected from Voxley's books - great action, creativity, strong likeable [MFC], interesting villain, brawny capable [MMC], decent pacing, steamy romance, and HEA - were all present.

So, while the list of negatives may seem long, the positives still shine through. That is why I really wanted a 3.5 but when pressed to choose felt 4 stars was more fitting than 3 (after all Voxley is still one of my favorite romance authors).

I enjoy this universe, but this was my least favorite book in the series. The action and adventure was great I love the crime scene investigation. I actually liked both leads I just didn't feel the connection as sharply as the impervious ones. It seemed rushed it needed more time to develop the relationship between them. if I had not read any of the previous stories and enjoyed them for the fun romp they are I would not continue on with this series.

There has been quite a bit of time passed since the previous books ended. Brocke is Nadar's son. Things have definitely taken a turn for the worse on the planet. This is one that like others, I wouldn't have finished if I didn't enjoy the series that Ms. Voxley has created. There's no indication of how Brocke grew up to give him such a hard outlook on life. Not the best one in the bunch.

I have enjoyed this entire series for the second time. I originally purchased this series in 2016 I think and it was just as good the second time as it had been the first time.

Half Breed Hate

This is a story about a movement to kill all half breeds. The one defending the half breeds is the first half Breed Corgan and a Terran Lieutenant. They are up against insurmountable odds. Which side will win? Well worth reading.

Tamed by the little warrior.

Can a man who has dedicated his life to his world's most notorious prison team up with a woman trained as an investigator to rid this new alliance of the evil villain who would kill people for their organs to enhance their own bodies. An evil priest who has been in his prison for his crimes? I love the world building and the love that grew between them. Well written and kept me up late to finish it. Recommend it.

I received this book as an ARC for an honest review.

In this book we Cory Frey and Brocke. Brocke is the son of Nadar Brenger and Mara James. He is one of the first hybrid children on Gaiya. He is also the Guardian which is one of two Corgan's to run the secret prison. Brocke has let one of their more heinous prisoners Condor escape from the prison so that he can deal with him once and for all. The problem is Condor has followers that are helping him to continue what got him thrown in jail to begin with, killing hybrids. So when he meets the Union representative who is looking into the murders he knows there something special about her. Can he get the criminal before he looses the girl?

Cory knows there is something she is missing when it comes to all these murders. The thing she never expected to to find was the Guardian. She had heard rumors about him but had never met him in person and at first glance she knows there is something special about him. She just doesn't know how special he is. When she teams up with him to stop Condor and his followers she is impressed with his ability to adapt to working with a partner. She just wonders when the job is done is her time with him done as well?

This is another amazing hit in her alien series. It can be read as a stand alone but if you read the others the locations and some of the details in this book might make more sense. There are many twists and turns in this book that I really want to tell you about but don't want to ruin the story for anyone. I will tell you this book will have you hooked from the first word to the very end. I would highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone.

Wow another fantastic book, I loved it. This author has such a creative imagination, which shows in her storytelling in this series. The pages are filled with drama, suspense, action, and hot, hot romance. The storyline is both intriguing and captivating, and it keeps you entertained from start to finish. I loved the characters, they were amazing. I think this is probably my favourite of this series for me. Overall a very exciting and entertaining read!

“Brocke” is the latest installment in Vi Voxley’s Alien Warlord’s Conquest series. Taking place thirty years after the Galactic Union sent the Flora to Gaiya for settlement, the Corgans have been experiencing/showing behaviors similar to human racial tensions. So much so that one man in particular (Condor) has made a point of causing considerable havoc, with the help of his fantatics, to the tune of murder and mutilation of those who aren’t of pure Corgan descent.

Guardian Brocke, the son of the Corgan Chieftain, Nadar and his human mate, Mara, is searching for Condor so that he can finally bring him to justice. He, along with Cora, the human who works for the Union Militant, are in for a run. And considerable shooting among other things.

Like in Voxley’s other books, I loved the interactions between the two characters. Their attraction to each other was fun to watch grow as they both enjoyed and fought their growing interest. The little details about each character came out through the other’s thoughts/fantasies made me smile each time.

One of my favorite things about her books is the heady combination of science fiction and romance. While at times, the stories are much heavier on the sci fi, the worlds Voxley builds are detailed and something I enjoy returning to when I’m looking for something to read.

While this is part of a series, each book can stand on its own, but it helps to read the series to get the full picture.

This fourth book in the series is a standalone that takes place decades after the Gorgans joined the Galactic Union. It features Brocke , the son of Gorgan Chieftain Nadar Brenger and Terran space pilot Mara from book one. Brocke is known by many names, however, including the Guardian of Gomor Prison and the Nightmare from Gomor. He is his father's executioner, the ghost, a lone wolf comfortable with the solitude of Gomor. And he sees a solution to a PR problem they have with one of their prisoners, Condor, a priest who has called for the extermination of all half breeds. So far, Condor's crimes have not warranted the death sentence and executing him would only make him a martyr to his followers. So, with his father's consent, Brocke allows Condor to escape.

Lt. Cora Frey is the Galactic Union Militant police officer investigating the murders of half breeds in the area. At the last crime scene, the word "Condor" was scrawled in the victim's blood. When she begins to ask questions about Gomor, however, she finds herself in a room being questioned by the legendary warlord Brocke. Refusing to be intimidated by the formidable warrior, she ultimately gets him to agree to their working together to find Condor. Now their challenge is to take down the zealot and his followers without becoming his latest victims.

This is an amazing book and just as good as the others written so far in this series. If you have not had a chance to read any Vi Voxley books you are missing a wonderful read. Brocke is a extremely handsome warlord with a fearsome reputation. He father is Corgan and his mother is a Terran. He has the job of Guardian to very secret facility beneath Gaiya called Gomor, which many people are not aware of, including the Galactic Union. It houses political prisoners and others deemed to notorious to execute. Brocke does his job well, fear is a good instigator and he is the best. There has been a sudden increase in murders of half breed Corgans and it becomes Cora's job as a Galactic Union solider to find out who the perpetrators are. Cora is highly intelligent and very good at her job. Brocke meets Cora and there is an instant attraction, but they have an important job to do, as Brocke is the son of Nadar, Chieftain of all Corgans and he is also a half breed. Time is running out to find the killers. Thank you to Vi Voxley for the very entertaining review copy. Loved it. Highly Recommend this author and her books.

This book is another great romance in the Alien Warlord's Conquest series. Brocke is the son of Corgan Chieftain, Nadar Brenger, and his Terran mate, Mara James (see book one of the series,) which is kind of cool. It's been thirty years since the events of Nadar: Alien Warlord's Conquest. Brocke's romantic partner in this book is Galactic Union police offer, Lt. Cora Frey, who's combination of beauty and brains wakes him up to all the things missing in his life that he wasn't even aware of. They are in pursuit of a very dangerous escaped criminal who now has pregnant Cora in his sights, and Brocke is the only one who can save her and their child.

The characters in this story are well drawn, the story well-written, and the plot riveting and action packed, just as with all the other books I have read by this author. I get excited every time I see she has a new book coming out! I really loved this book, which I received a copy of, in return for an honest review.

Absolutely superb, I opened the book and it grabbed me and wouldn't let go! Brocke is a Guardian Warlord a half-breed and son of Chieftain Nadar and Mara. Guardian by choice of the prison Gomor where the worst of the worst are kept. When the prisoner Priest Condor is allowed to escape, Brocke knows it is the only way to eliminate him and not allow him to be a martyr.
Cora is a Terran investigator following a case into the deaths of half-breeds where she stumbles on the name Gomor that no one is to know about and is enlisted to help the
big hunk of Corgan Brocke, to track down the escaped psychopath.
Hope you brought a fan, because Vi Voxley "brings it" with everything I want in a story, dark, action, adventure, treachery, tension, did I forget to mention scorching hot sexy romance "Oh my." I've ate up every one of this authors books and always look forward to the next. I was gifted an ARC for an honest review!

Lieutenant Cora Grey is an investigator for the Galactic union on Gaiya. There has been some killings of the Corgon / humans children.
30 years have passed since his mom ( mara james) and his father (Nadar) had him ( Brocke) and there is a group of Corgon's that don't want those children to live.
Brocke is fully now and he is a powerful warrior they call the Guardian.
They are both on the same mission to find the killers. Now that his path has crossed cora's they shall have a path together. He just has a group of people to kill.
Great story. Full of action and hotness! I love the characters. I was a little surprised by the 30 year jump in time between storylines but it was lots of fun to read what the kids are up to.
SyFy romance fans are going to love this.

So Brooke number four

This is the fourth book of the series and I have enjoyed each and every one. This one jumps ahead to the story of the son of the hero of book one. This story is different from the others as it deals with a part of the Corgan society that is shrouded in secrecy. As the book progresses, the secrets and the darkness begin to unravel. This leads to betrayal and death.
The storyline was varied enough to keep my attention, if you don't mind believing in some cases where the physical abilities challenges physics. The characters were well drawn and believable, again if you don't mind some cases where the actions a bit overdone. You enough, I loved try previous three books and number four was no different.

I have enjoyed the other books in the series. It was interesting to read this book set so far in the future from the earlier books. You get to meet the son of the first couple and Brocke is just as captivating as his father. When he meets Cora during an investigation of murders of half-bloods, the sparks fly. They have great chemistry just like this parents and it is not long before they can't resist the attraction.

It is a great read with an interesting storyline and characters that are easy to connect to. You can read it as a standalone but it is even better if you have read the earlier books and are familiar with the environment the book is taking place in as well as the history of the characters.

I received a copy in return for a honest review,

Loved this book, just as I loved each and every one of Vi Voxley books! The sizzling hot romance between Brocke and Cora begins right on page one and just keeps getting better. No need to wonder when or if they will ever get together, THEY DO.

As usual, Vi Voxley gives us a thrilling adventure that kept me glued to my kindle. The story is complex and at the end I knew I just read a fantastic complete adventure. It's practically a swash-buckler like the adventures I used to see at the movies as a child. Its full of villains and our well-matched hero and heroine.

I just found out that Vi Voxley released a new story with Juno Wells. Going to queue that one up right now. Happy reading to all of you!

A mystery of who and why is in the midst of being solved. As the clues gather all hope of solvingit are deterred somehow. Mentioning something has her dragged and thrown into a room confused and angry. Then he walks in. Which emotion to pick first.
This little Terran has hopped into a mess she needs to stay clear of. Intimidation doesn't seem to be a tactic he wants to use in full force, but she has information he needs. Maybe with her help he can achieve his ultimate goal and heal his home.
I am a big fan of her Brion series and her Corgan Warriors, just wow. Loved it!!!! Was given advanced copy or honest review from Auhtor Vi Voxley

Vi does it again. This is the 4th book in the Brion World Series spin-off about Corgans and the new Galactic Union Corgan world Gaia. What makes this book in the series exciting is that it deals with the next generation of Corgan’s, that is the Corgan-Terran(earth) children, specifically the child if the first book’s couple with a Terran investigator. If you are addicted, like I am to adventure, controversy, hot erotic sex, suspense and a totally different world then this book is for you. Please read and don’t worry about the other books, which I highly recommend as they all can be read as stand alone.

This is the forth book in the series. Brocke is the half-breed son of Nadar Brenger the Chieftain and Mara James a Terran. He is also the Guardian of Gomor the secret Grogon prison. When an imprisoned priest escapes from Gomor he gives chase. He joins Galactic Union Militant police officer Cora to solve half breed murders and to find Condor the priest. This story has intrigue, betrayal, fanatics and fights. It held my interest from beginning to end. It s well worth reading at 5 stars.

I enjoyed Brocke, it was so much fun seeing the next generation popping up in this series and oh what a Corgan he is. When Brocke meets Cora while hunting an escape sparks fly. Out of all the series this has become my second favourite, Soros is still top dog in my books. As usual Vi blends a combination of action, evil fanatical nut jobs, passion and love seamlessly. I never want to put her books down, even at the very end. I look forward to seeing many more books from Vi Voxley and hope other enjoy her books as much as I do.

Great story

Brocke is the half Terrain/Corban son of Chieftain Nadar Brenger and Lieutenant Mara James. He is reputed to be the most powerful warlord, and his father's executioner. Lieutenant Cora Frey is a Union office and crime scene investigator working a string of murders of half Terrain/Corgans. Brocke needs Cora's help hunting down the man he knows is responsible. A fast paced, and steamy story. Loved Brocke and Cora! Hope his sister gets a story.

Although this book is the fourth in the series it takes place 30 years after Soros - book three. I liked the time frame and the story line very much. I thought bringing the Half-breeds into the story was a great idea. The characters were well formed and the action was well written. If the editing had been a touch better it would have been a five star for me.
Still, very much worth the read from this newer author.

Brocke may be a half-breed but he's all Corgan to me. When he and Cora get together sparks fly. Lots of action and steamy scenes in this story that had me turning the pages until I was finished. Another great story from Vi and I can't wait to read whatever comes next. I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.
