Cadi Warriors #2

Warriors’ Providence

Rate this book
Providence worked hard to become one of the first women to join her pararescue squad. It was difficult being one of the guys and yet not, all at the same time, but she was up for the task. Besides, there was nothing more satisfying than helping your fellow man, it was what she was born to do. Never in a million years did Providence expect to find herself abducted from a routine mission off the Florida coast by...ALIENS.
Dagaa and Madhava, once enemies, became fast friends after a centuries long civil war. Both of them were beyond ready to see Cadi enter a new era. But now they face a new battle, convincing all of Cadi to embrace and rescue the Toufik, their former slaves, from a dying planet. It wasn't going to be an easy task. Infighting threatened their hard won peace and put Cadi at risk from a new foe.
With so much at stake Madhava and Dagaa are blindsided when they find a fiery-haired human female on their enemy's ship. Providence's bold and loving nature awakens a side that both warriors had long since forgotten. The only problem, can Dagaa and Madhava share her affection, and can Providence withstand the love of not just one, but two overprotective warriors. Only fate knows a warrior's providence.

Note: This book involves M/F/M scenes.

Thank you for your interest in my fairy tales.

Here's to the imagination and a little daydream.

Writing is my hobby. As a child, I had a hard time learning to read, so anything I took an interest in was deemed acceptable. I have always enjoyed fairy tales, the older unsanitized versions, as well as the modern ones, mythology, science fiction, action and romance. As I read, my mind wanders, spinning its own tales. So, I figured I’d share my ramblings with you.
The books I write contain little snippets from my life. I leave it to you to decide which scenes are fact, fiction, or a bit of both. I am far braver and bolder than is likely sensible, so my heroines are just as gutsy. I'd probably be categorized as an adrenalin junky. My life has been an adventure. I've done archaeology in the hot sun, am well versed with power tools, took Tae Kwon Do in college, have ridden on a Harley with a dark stranger, but never met an alien, vampire or shifter, that I know of.
My stories are tawdry, feature a heroine who is gifted in some way, and will always end happily ever after. It is my opinion this is meant to be entertainment, and a depressing ending is not entertainment. Real life offers enough depressing crap. However, I have been called dark.
My apologies for my horrific grammar. It is something I struggle with. It is probably connected to the slow reading thing. Believe me people have tried. I truly hope that my fairy tales make up for it.

4.5 HOT ALIENS stars

Ok, this was HOT with capital letters!
I am not a fan of menage or RH or more than one alpha male, but hot damn, this hit me in the right places!! It had not one but 2 aliens alpha males, one bad-ass heroine, lot of sex, action, characters from previous book and was awesome for me <3

If you want to imagine this sexy Aliens just think of this:
"Madhava reminded her of Jason Mamoa, the actor."
"He didn't look that bad, more like a red skinned, black haired version of Brad Pitt from the movie Troy."

Dagaa

Providence

Madhava

And now imagine this hotties red/tailed /fanged and bigger .

This was me the entire book :


Sure I had some of these too...


But then this is a sci-fi erotic, sooo go with it, it's a fantasy !!
Maybe this book opened the menage road for me ..

rating because I got to 50% and skimmed the rest. I was having a hard time finishing this book in the first place. We went from no information about the cadi people in book 1 to an info dump for a lot of the first part of this book. At first I was happy and then I realized it was a true info dump as in pages of info.... that is bad for pacing. They also amazingly started to sound like humans and not aliens. I put the book to the side for a few days hoping some time away from the monotony could get me back into the story and then what I call the curse of the second book characterization happened.

When an author creates a character type in book 1 they try to deviate from the first one by creating a different character for the second book...smart? Absolutely. However, more often than not when they use a normal sexualized hero in book 1 I have noticed that SO many authors then decide it's time for a 180! Let's make the second hero a manwhore that pushes the heroine away and give him a sob story why he needs to chase the pussy...There is a second hero in this so it's not all manwhore but between the lackluster writing on this one and a pet peeve about characterization that seriously annoys me I am over it.

I read science fiction and fantasy for imagination not the same shit that I can get in a majority of contemporary romance novels.

"safety" is a no in my opinion.

Leaving it on a high note this author does seem to write down to earth strong heroines. That is awesome and I hope she continues with it.

3.5

This is a fast paced action filed romance with Demon Aliens and a great heroine. It is fun ride through a culture in the midst of a shift after years of civil war.

We get a gruff and grumpy hero and a sunny flirt of a hero for our highly accomplished para rescue heroine.

It is a good love story and a nice move forward in the series.,

3.5 Stars
I enjoyed this I’ve read this author before so know she writes good sci-fi romance and this is a well written one. This isn’t my favourite of hers but I still definitely rate it and the ménage aspect of this was very well done it was super hot and that was my favourite aspect.

This story centres on Providence a very capable female who’s in the Air Force she finds herself abducted and through a series of events ends up on the planet Cadi. It’s the second in a series but can easily be read as a stand-alone. I did enjoy book one slightly more but this is still a good read.
Here she catches the attention of two cadi warriors Dagaa and Madhava both very different in temperament but together they do compliment each other. When she needs a prime protector they both volunteer for the job both equally as captivated by Providence.

There wasn’t a great deal of conflict here which may be why this wasn’t as good as the first book but the bond these three ended up sharing did make up for this and it really was an intense one.
I definitely recommend this if you like well-written sci-fi romance it’s one of the better ones out there. This is an easy low conflict one and it was definitely was super hot.

Inexpensive, easy to read, and entertaining.

Similar to the first book, this one was riddled with punctuation errors and missed words and phrases. The characters are great, and I'm a sucker for military heroines. The fact that Providence was trained for her adventures made this book a lot easier to get into than the first one. And like the first one, the hot bits are hot. Although I enjoyed the 'set society expectations' on its head aspect of Providence running counter the submissive nature of the alien females on her new planet, I found myself frowning at the dismissive attitude toward the less-agressive alien females. I'm not a fan of the 'one perfect type of woman' format. (Or any other subset of people).

The book and the heroine would have been more interesting if there had been a valuable female character who was comfortable in a more reticent and beta role.

Just a reason for a 3some

I loved the first book and waited eagerly for this, but I'm disappointed. This book lost all the "alien" feel. There were to many similarities to earth, even the dialogue was similar. I'm sorry but there is no way they spent enough time with the one human to use every phrase, especially sexual ones. Also this story was just too happy it served no purpose other than to have a threesome. I've read the first book twice, but I skipped over many pages in this one because of how predictable it was.
I also found that I did not like the personality changes of Dagaa and Mahava, Kegans personality wasn't drastically altered because of his relationship. I would have much rather read more of Giselle and Kegans story.

Well, I usually stay far away from romances with "ménages " or Harems because that's really not my thing, usually those types of romances tend to focus mostly around sex and not enough around a good intrigue.

But after reading "The Warrior's Pet" and getting so invested in the characters , world building and plot, I thought I'd give this second book a chance instead of stupidly skipping to the next one. I really wanted to see how the warriors would handle another fiery human woman.

And you know what ? I think this book (or at least this series) is the only one that made me okay with spankings (book 1) and menages ( book 2). Plus the sex scenes are just hot a f*ck.

I wasn't sure how I would react to the romance, but I found myself relatively surprised and okay with it. The way the story and characters are explored is well written and well paced so nothing feels rushed like it is most of the time with sci-fi romances and their insta-lust and mating urges.

What I like about this series is that the sex/lust/mating whatever you want to call it, doesn't stomps over the whole story. What I enjoy most is how human females put the males in their places by using words of wisdom that make the Cadi reflect on situations and allows them to learn and grow. I never thought the humans would have so much to offer to this people but it's amazing to see that what happened on Earth allowed them to be able to help the Cadi to not make the same mistakes again and evolve. I know it's another culture and planet, but you have to admit it pretty damn funny to see small human females show big tough warriors that they are just as strong , intelligent and fierce. I love it.

I'm into the next book !

This second book is very similar to the first. In this story, our Heroine has been trained to jump out of perfectly good working aircraft, so her resistance to being relegated as a mere female is well founded. The plot is simple enough and the romance rings true. The thrills and spills are exciting.

As with book #1, the author lacks the polish to really make it sing. Simple mistakes combined with a limited vocabulary really holds this back. I should really give this 3-stars, but I liked the story more than that.

Book 2 in the cadi warriors series

Great book and really good story. Using charachters we meet in book 1 Daggaa and madhava ( reformed bad guy ) I liked that the book wasn't totally filled with '3 way shove and grunt' I'm not a prude..just not a massive fan of m/f/m. However I felt the 3 way relationship was dealt written in a loving and respectful way.
I liked the relationship development between providence and the boys ( who were friends and developed in to a solid brothers kind of relationship )

I will be reading the 3rd book in this series.

Why tease about a strong female character and give us a dud?
I wasn't expecting much from the first book but I was pleasantly surprised. It wasn't a great book but it did a good job, this one on the other hand was just disappointing.
Providence had a military background and is a kick ass female role. Not. We are told of Providence's strength yet she disappoints again and again.

Even better

I enjoyed the first book of the series but this one is even better. One feisty red head and two red warriors come together in a sizzling fire storm of sexual heat, creating a life long bond.

This was the second instalment of Stephanie West’s Cadi Warriors series. It is an alien abduction sci-if romance series. It has a mix of romance and action with a tiny bit of intrigue thrown into the mix as well. Tonally this series has a bit of everything. It has plenty of romance (and a small amount of, sometimes, kinky sex) and the expected HEA but also has plenty of darker elements like violence and some threats of slavery and sexual assault.

I felt like this second instalment actually reduced some of the darker elements of the first instalment of the series and balanced that out by ramping up the action and kinky sex!

This was the story of Providence. We met her at the end of the first book. She was the second abducted human to find her way to the Cadi. She was a paratrooper with the marines back on Earth and pretty kick-ass heroine much to the horror of the two Cadi warriors Madhava and Dagaa who were clamouring to claim and protect her. We met both guys in the first book so they were aware of humans and already fairly easy to like a root for.

Outside of the romance (with Providence juggling two alien guys) this tale also dealt with the fallout of the events of the first book. The Cadi civil war was over and Kagan had decided to free the Tofik slaves but it was not all plain sailing as there was some civil pushback and a few things going on in the wider political landscape of this part of the universe as the Cadi tried to get back to finding their place in the wider Universe.

It was a fun enough tale. All three main characters were easy to root for and it was interesting to see how Cadi society was developing and to meet a few more alien species.

I’ll read more of this series for sure but will take a little break from it for now.

Rating: 3.5 stars.

Audio Note: No official audio so I used the Eleven Reader text-to-speech app. Used the Jessica voice. Definitely the best text-to-speech software on the market. Though not a match for true professional narration.

I'm really liking this series. The alien warriors are strong, honest and sooo protective of females as their own females are fairly weak spirited. Along come some human females and it's an eye opener for them. The world building continues and it's good.

Although I enjoyed this book, and appreciated learning more about Dagaa and Madhava, who I loved from the first book, it wasn't as compelling as, The Warrior’s Pet. In fact, the entire tone of Cadi society became far more like our own than the dangerous and exotic world of the first book, which I found somewhat disappointing.

In addition to Giselle, Providence has now been captured from Earth and taken to Cadi to be sold as a slave/pet. With few exceptions, and very little passage of time, the human women are now considered equals rather than pets. It just seemed a bit fast for such a turn around in attitude, although there are dissenters who caused problems for our protagonists. Also, instead of the alpha warriors of book 1, the Cadi men now seem far more tame, rather sweet really, which took away some of the tension and made this book less riveting in my opinion.

I hope there will be more about this world in the future as there are several interesting threads to be explored, but I also hope they will be darker in tone.

Cadi Warriors are sexy heroes

Since the Toufik males helped Daimio Kadan win the Cadi civil war it is only right the Cadi attempt to save the race. The adventure of Providence, Dagaa and Madhava will have you on the edge of your seat. Let Me West take you on a sexy and at times scary ride to save the gentle Toufik race.

Frying pan to the fire

Providence is having a tough time currently. What started off as being drug along to one of her teammate's bachelor party at a strip club, complete with unwanted lap dance, became a rescue mission that required her pararescuer training. From there it became a kidnapping by aliens. Then, she was forced to defend those aliens from slaver aliens to protect other kidnapped humans. Beaten, tazed and thrown into a cell, when a giant red demon walks into the cell growling, rescue is not what she thinks is happening. Imagine her surprise when she sees another human on this new planet. A pregnant human, who voluntarily mated one of these demons. And now she's learned that females have protectors so she'll be removed from her new human friend, and now two these demons are claiming that honor. Things keep moving and changing.

Spoilers ahead.
A different kind of fighter than Giselle, but not a bit less independent. A trained pararescuer, she's battled male entitlement her whole career. Landing on a planet of patriarchy, no matter how well meaning, after everything that happened on the way there puts her back up. Not in an "argue for the sake of arguing" sort of pettiness, but in a Susan B Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, fight for women's independence fighting stance. Males are meant to protect, but being told you're being handed over to strangers is enough to cause any modern woman to growl. Dagaa and Madhava (yes, this is a m/f/m menage) are captivated by the tiny fiery warrior. Introduced to fierce women by Giselle does not prepare them for the terror that Providence brings with her actions. Giselle studied war, Providence jumped into the middle of it to save lives. I liked the expansion of the world after the war ended. Daily battles turned from weapons to words. Lives are being forced to change with the abolishment of Toufik slavery and introducing new alien relationships. While life is improving, tension is rising. While I liked that Providence challenged Dagaa and Madhava, the actual challenge was a little strange. We get a little more insight into why Madhava was in the position he was with Vigris. We get a look at why Dagaa has avoided relationships. We get to visit with Giselle and Kagan. And the Miran Sona who are starting the colony. The well meaning, but horribly started human relocation program. I appreciated that things weren't perfect just because the civil war ended, even while I wondered how after hundreds of years of fighting, styles didn't change. I'm curious to see how the next human changes the status quo among the male dominated society the Cadi live in.

I’m clinging to this book like a lifeline.. I just finished the first one and damn me if I don’t think I’ll love this one too, I NEED for this distraction… I just lost my baby sheep and he was my son … I raised him since his second day alive , he went everywhere with me like a human baby could do and now … I’m just craving for a distraction that won’t end with me in a … bad position, anyway sorry for my dark mood I’ll do the review now I promise …so I’m loving how Providence is so damn cool, and her friendship with her crew is interesting because being the only girl in the group? Yeah it’s funny.

Fucking hell Providence aka Angel is badass , her father is a lieutenant in the army and I’m pretty intrigued to know how things are going to play with their abduction, I’m having so much fun reading the begging when Providence is still with her crew hahaha the motherfuckers did a stripper make a lap dance for her hahahaha , yeah our new girl is a pro and I can already see how much she will help the Cadi.

Giselle likes it rough. Those are her words not mine." Madhava's eyes widened. "Yeah. If you think they're loud now, just wait till we have to camp, and there's only a canvas wall instead of stone blocking out the sounds. Why do you think I'm lying here with blankets piled over my head?" he asked Madhava. "I don't believe...no female..." Madhava shook his head in disbelief. Just then, as if to prove his point, an arduous cry rang out. "Fuck yes!" Giselle's muffled voice declared. Dagaa laughed when Madhava's jaw practically hit the floor.


OMG Giselle … she never stops astonishing me and all the others hahaha.

Well the story is good but I thought we could have more…action don’t get me wrong the romance is interesting and all but… not enough to get my attention of my shit right now, I was waiting for Providence to get doing rescue things and kick ass but without the war and everything being troubled but not much … yeah I’m bored, but it’s a good book if you’re not depressed and trying to run from your dark pit of a head … DNF at 45% and I’ll probably finish someday …

It is hard for me to rate this book because of the new Sci-Fi erotic genre. Couples that extend beyond the generic M/F unit are getting more and more common and they are greatly enjoyed by readers. For me, I am not a big fan of such arrangements, nevertheless, as it is only one book in the Cadi warriors series you can either read it or skip it depending on if you like the storyline. I didn't like Providence's character that much in the story, she is obviously an alpha female and strong lead with a no bull-shit attitude, which I do not dislike. In fact, Giselle in the first book I would say is almost the same type of female heroine, very adaptable and fearless, but in this case I just didn't feel a strong connection or much liking toward Providence. So in giving this review I didn't want to rate it down just because I did not like the coupling arrangement, I gave it 2 stars, one less than the first book in the series, but I have read the later books and not all of the ones following will be coupled like this one, if you were worried (I know I was).

Another Winner

This was another good one. Yes, I liked the first one best, but this one was still a fun read. I really liked out two male characters. I felt like some of the threesome scenes were uncomfortable with one having sex while the other watched then took his turn. A true threesome would have had all three participating fully and we got a little of that, but not much. It also always seemed that Dagdaa was always going twice while Magdhava watched then got a turn. It just wasn't a greatly written threesome. This is the reason I took off a star. Now for a those that rated it low stars for having a threesome, you need spanked! The description made it really clear that is what this story was going to be. Complaining about a book for being exactly as described is poor form.

A beautiful threesome romance

This is book two in the series and picks up after the first book where Dagaa finds a human female named Providence hiding in one of the Jurou Biljana (evil guys) ships. The civil war has ended and now it is time to rebuild and help Stone and his Toufik people join the Cadi to live together peacefully on the planet. This is a daunting task for Kagan and Giselle as the want to do the right thing. Giselle tries to explain the societal dynamics of the Cadi to Providence, but she is still shocked. Luckily for Providence she has two fierce warriors stand up for her, Dagaa and Madhava. This is where their relationship begins. Mind your triggers. Read On!

GOSH, I wanted to like this one as much as the first but it fell flat in a lot of places. Its hard to really write a good mfm in my opinion. The story progression was good, could have been better, but definitely holds a lot of potential for the next in series. Listen, it happens to some of the best series out there. The overall series is super awesome with a dud here and there. I am finger crossing this was a one off and we can get back into good story telling AND good dialogue!

A wonderful adventurous romance

What a wonderful romantic story with lots of harrowing adventure from start to finish.

Providence was the perfect fit for Dagaa and Mahdava. This series has been written with so much heart. Ms. West has given us not only a fantastic adventure for our heroine but all the fun times as well. I couldn’t read the book fast enough to see what happens next. I’m on to book three to see how the series continues.

Warriors' Providence

Lots of fun. There are two MMCs in this story. Multiple partners is always interesting because of the dynamic about how they all get along. In this story, the guys share the MFC but as best friends, not as lovers. There's a time in the story when the guys are competing with each other over her. This dynamic always stresses me out but it doesn't last too long before the three of them work it out.

Honestly, I didn’t like the side Moran Sona story arc. It was weird & unnecessary. Not to mention, it didn’t make any sense. What was Giselle’s genetic defect? Don’t you think maybe you should test people before you abscond across the universe with them? Not to mention the entire oxymoron of the benevolent abductor had me rolling my eyes.
