Warriors of Luxiria #2
The Alien's Mate
Welcome to Luxiria, where the twin suns are hot and the alien warriors are hotter…
Kate Harper can't believe that a month ago, she was living on Earth, going through the motions of a normal, human life. Now? A seriously sexy, insatiable, alpha alien knocked her up and she's learning how to rule over an entire species with her new mate. As Kate tries to carve out a place for herself on Luxiria--all while pregnant with an alien warrior's baby that loves to kick--there's unrest brewing on the planet and her strong alien mate's authority is challenged. And why can't she shake the feeling that he's hiding something from her?
The Alien's Mate is Book Two of the Warriors of Luxiria series and is the sequel to The Alien's Prize. You need to have read Book One first. The Alien's Mate concludes Vaxa'an and Kate's story and the rest of the series will focus on other Luxirian warriors that can be read as standalones.

I do not normally read series that follow a couple we’ve already had as main characters, so imagine my surprise when The Alien’s Mate turned out to be a continuation of Kate and Vaxa’an’s story.
In my review for The Alien's Prize, I stated that the story felt like it was all setup and no follow through. This book was the follow through. It had the plot and the conflict the previous one lacked. Together they make the other stronger, but they cannot stand on their own.
Kate and Vaxa’an’s relationship very much revolves around sex. What will happen as Kate recovers from giving birth? Or when she gets her period? Romance books tend to forget about the realities of life—and thank God for that—but this is something that really bothers me. The longest we’ve seen Vaxa’an abstain was a week, and he suffered. All I’m going to say: good luck Kate.
I am grateful this is the last book that features Kate and Vaxa’an as main characters. Neither are very memorable, but I do think their story was necessary to get to future ones. The stories of his ambassadors hold so much appeal, and I cannot wait to read them.

Not to be the man who says he goes to Hooters for the wings, but I truly come to most sci-fi romances for the world-building - it's usually interesting and digestible and doesn't make me consider physics. And yeah, there's aliens. Zoey Draven is an author I can trust to give me a well thought-out world and a empty-brain kind of romance (lovingly).
But this book. This book could have just been edited down and added to The Alien's Prize. Had it been so, the story of Kate and Laxa would have been much more satisfying while it set up the rest of the series (which I think is what this book is meant to do?).

I reviewed the first book and this the continuation of that couple's love story. Now, I still hate sequels/cliffhangers like nobody's business, but I like the story and my main complaint here is that this book could have been edited down to merge with the first one and I bet it would have been great with a tighter narrative. So, taking into consideration my admitted bias against sequels, this was an enjoyable entry.
I like the setup for this 'verse and the overarching storyline. It's giving me Planet Blue Balls vibes without the survivalist angle. Still getting hot aliens with horns and a deep and abiding love of oral, so I was happy, not gonna lie. Basically, I'm all in on this series - I think I've found a new fave.

Gives a clear beginning for the rest of the series.
Kate and Vaxa have been married and are expecting their first child. They are also keeping secrets from one another which strains their marriage. There were some political drama moments and some violence, but most of the book seemed to be about them being terrible at communicating.
Kate improved more than Vaxa in that department IMO, though she still doesn’t share other issues with him. Vaxa is too rash for a supposedly level headed leader.
I like the setting and the culture in this book, but I wanted more closure on the communication stuff.
Spice: 5/5
Triggers: violence, references to SA

Character Backgrounds and Plot Summary
Kate Harper’s life has changed dramatically since she was taken from Earth and became Vaxa’an’s mate. Now she is living on Luxiria, pregnant with their child, trying to adjust to being the mate of the Prime Leader while still holding onto her independence. Vaxa’an is fiercely protective of Kate and deeply committed to his people, but his position as Prime Leader is being challenged by warriors who believe he is leading Luxiria in the wrong direction.
I really liked that this installment focuses on what happens after the initial claiming and attraction. Kate is not simply settling into her new role. She continues working in the archives because she wants something of her own, even while Vaxa’an becomes increasingly worried about her pregnancy. Their argument over her continuing to work shows just how different their instincts are. Kate wants autonomy, while Vaxa’an’s first instinct is to protect her, and that clash actually creates some of the more emotional moments between them.
The political conflict also becomes much more serious when Vaxa’an faces challenges to his position and must eventually enter the dangerous Trials to defend his leadership. I especially felt for Kate when she realizes that losing the Trials could mean losing Vaxa’an entirely. The pregnancy adds another layer of tension, particularly when Kate’s health takes a frightening turn and Vaxa’an is forced to confront just how much he could lose.
Highlights and Limitations
The relationship between Kate and Vaxa’an was my favorite part of this book. Their chemistry is still extremely intense, but I appreciated the quieter moments where they actually have to figure out how to build a life together. Vaxa’an taking Kate to the secret lallarix, the sacred pools connected to his family, was one of my favorite scenes because it felt intimate in a completely different way. Their conversation there about becoming parents gave Vaxa’an a vulnerability that I really enjoyed seeing.
The pregnancy storyline also worked better for me than I expected. Kate’s fears about becoming a mother are understandable, especially when she worries about what kind of parent she will be. Vaxa’an admitting that he has no experience as a father and reassuring her despite his own uncertainty made their relationship feel more genuine.
The medical crisis was particularly stressful. Watching Vaxa’an helplessly watch Kate suffer while the doctor works to save both her and their unborn child gave his usually dominant personality a much more vulnerable side. His willingness to give his own blood to help her recovery was a small but powerful demonstration of how completely devoted he is.
My biggest issue was that the story sometimes leans very heavily into the physical side of their relationship. Kate and Vaxa’an have plenty of chemistry, but there were moments when I wanted more space for the political conflict and Kate’s adjustment to being part of Luxirian society. I also found some of Vaxa’an’s overprotectiveness frustrating, particularly when his fear for Kate crosses into trying to make decisions for her. At the same time, I understood why he behaved that way, especially after seeing how vulnerable Kate and the baby were.
Narration
Sierra Grace and Tristan Josiah worked well together for this audiobook. I particularly enjoyed the dual approach, with Grace handling the female characters and Josiah handling the male characters. It made the conversations between Kate and Vaxa’an easy to follow and gave their scenes a natural back-and-forth quality.
Sierra Grace’s performance suited Kate’s personality, especially during the scenes where Kate is frightened, frustrated, or emotionally overwhelmed. Tristan Josiah brought a controlled intensity to Vaxa’an that fit his position as Prime Leader while still allowing his softer side to come through when he was dealing with Kate. Their performances helped make the emotional scenes, particularly the aftermath of Kate’s medical crisis and the conversations surrounding the Trials, more impactful.
Final Opinion
I enjoyed The Alien’s Mate as the conclusion to Kate and Vaxa’an’s story, even though I read the first part quite a while ago. It felt like the book where the consequences of everything they went through finally caught up with them. Kate has to decide what her new life on Luxiria really means, while Vaxa’an has to balance being a warrior and leader with being a husband and soon-to-be father.
I was especially invested in seeing Vaxa’an become more emotionally vulnerable. For someone who begins the series as such a formidable warrior, watching him become terrified of losing Kate and their child gave his character more depth. The birth of their son was also a satisfying emotional payoff after all the danger surrounding the pregnancy.
This is definitely a story I would recommend reading in order, since it directly continues Kate and Vaxa’an’s relationship from The Alien’s Prize and brings their story to a conclusion.

This was definitely better then the first book, which by the way is the same couple as in this book. I appreciate the story around the planet they live on and I like the story with the hero’s brother and hope we get more about this in the upcoming books.
I also liked to see the hero adopting to show more emotions because in his culture it’s just nothing you do. I am also happy for the couples HFN, on the other hand the end didn’t really feel like one. Since the next books always have different mcs, that kind of annoyed me a little.
However overall I enjoyed reading this and I do want to continue with the series.

Esta es la continuación del primer libro y sigue con la historia de Vaxa'an y Kate. Ahora, Kate tendrá que enfrentarse a muchas cosas: al odio de los que no aceptan mezclar razas, a los que han desafiado a su compañero y... Al embarazo.
Me ha gustado mucho pero es verdad que, habiéndome leído antes la saga de los Barbarians de Ruby Dixon, encuentro muchas similitudes en las descripciones de los personajes extraterrestres. Por lo demás me encanta y Vaxa me parece un amor. Mi única queja es el final. Yo quería saber cómo iba a ser su vida un poco con el niño y sobre todo como se va a llamar porque no lo han dicho! Me ha fastidiado un montón. Por lo demás me ha encantado.
P.D: el libro lo empecé ayer me recién me acabo de dar cuenta que no lo había puesto como leyendo 🤦😂

Quick, easy read. Liked the first book in the series a little more than this one, found myself flicking through The Alien's Mate in some parts. Continuation of the storyline/same couple as the first book - The Alien's Prize, so best read in order.
I've read a few books by this author now, and while they don't have an amazing storyline, I do find her alpha alien males strangely addictive to read......just not this one. Not sure if I will continue this series though.

I don’t think Kate/Vaxa’s story needed to be split into two parts but I read it because I wanted to continue with the series. Didn’t love Kate and felt this was pretty forgettable (I read this this morning along with the other books in the series today and at 9pm at night I can barely remember it).

Kate now knows contentment like nothing else.
As the mate to Prime Ruler Vaxa on Luxiria, Kate is loved, protected, feels deeply needed, and best of all, is carrying Vaxa’s child - a chance for the Luxirian race to thrive once again.
But there are rumblings among Vaxa’s warriors; rumblings about him taking a human as a mate and muddying the species’ gene pool. Vaxa - feeling complete for the first time in his life since finding his fated mate Kate - wants nothing more than to quell these poisonous voices with executions. But Vaxa knows he will need to face the dissenters in the fighting pit after they have challenged him.
Loved this one!
Vaxa and Kate’s relationship continues to evolve, and Kate continues to assert her place in her new world. Insisting she needs to feel useful, Vaxa assigns Kate to the archives to work, which is a job she loves, continuing even while pregnant.
But aside from those who are rebelling against the new ways, Vaxa has another mission: Clear all females from the fighting pits - the same pits from which Vaxa found Kate. Kate can’t imagine women having to endure what she did, even though her story came with a happy ending.
This is quite a nice little series!

If his luxiva passed into the next life... Vaxa'an knew that he would follow her without hesitation. There was no other option, not now. His fate was tied to hers, a truth that was both sobering and comforting...because he knew that he would never live another span without his mate by his side.
4.25 stars
I usually don't enjoy the "marriage-in-trouble" trope, but damn Zoey's writing and craftsmanship are just so phenomenal, I will read anything she writes. I really enjoyed this second installment of Kate and Vaxa's story as we got to see behind the curtain as they navigated their new and intergalactic relationship. Their trust and devotion in each other was tested multiple times, and I loved the drama as they fought their stubbornness and need to protect the other. Ultimately, this was a beautiful continuation of their love story as they grew closer together and fought to keep their love. I am excited to read the next book as we follow Vaxa's ambassadors🖤
Tropes: fated mates, he falls first, obsessed hero, fish-out-of-water heroine, navigating an alien mating, touch her and die, hurt/comfort, hidden secrets, size difference, breeding kink, special peen, found family, STEAMY🔥

this was just meh for me. it left off after The Alien's Prize. i feel like it should have just been attached to the first book. there's to much back and forth with keeping shit from each other and it just got tedious after a while.
and annoying.
i wasn't going to read the next installment but it's about vivaxan and i'd rather read about him and bek than this.

Okay, now this book definitely built on the previous one and had a great plot to it! Kate and Vaxa are navigating a new relationship, pregnancy and still learning each other. I love how normal the relationship seemed and the emotions that each of them felt during different parts of the book. This book was short and sweet, just like the first, but it feels like their whole story has been told now.

This is the second book of Kate and Vaxa’s story, which is a nice distraction from normal life for a few hours, especially if it is Zoey Draven. Her writing style is easy and inviting.
The Alien's Mate is the second book in the Warriors of Luxiria series. It is a quick read with lots of steam and spice. I don't mind reading these books, alpha, aliens, human, fated mates, insta love tropes, because they are sci-fi, and anything goes.
Re-reading this series again because apparently I didn't leave a review the first time.

Change makes the world go round
Things are starting to change for Lux and it's people. Some friends are lost and some new ones are made.
I'm happy I got to see the birth of the baby to its adoring family.
I don't think things will get easier in the next books but I think a lot of love will be found.

3/3.5 ⭐️ still having a good time! do i think that the miscommunication was aggravating? i always do. was it understandable (to an extent)? also yes. this book is setting things up for the rest of the series & wraps things up a bit more neatly for vaxa & kate. i was glad to see them end the book on a very sweet & happy note, but i am also AMPED for the next book and how this unfolds.
February 3, 2022
Continuation of book one. It was okay but I want the other stories already and a lot of this was the two of them arguing and making up and then arguing about the same thing again. It never put their relationship into question though so it wasn't upsetting or anything.
Onwards...

This was the continuing story of Kate and Vaxa from the first installment of the series. We finally get our HEA at the end, but Zoey Draven has set up several characters for upcoming installments. I enjoyed reading this couples story, and look forward to who comes next.
