Intergalactic Lurve #3

Taming the Alien Warriors

Rate this book
If two cocks are better than one, then M/M/F-alien-human-ménage must be a triple-treat.

Dex and Jedrek are famed Zenithian warriors of the Valkrane class. Close friends and comrades for decades, the two males tough it out on the training grounds, share living quarters, and even take the same females to bed. But now, newfound lust for Dex has consumed Jedrek for months, and he’s about to make the male his latest conquest.

Enter Laurel. Sweet, human, female, but far from oblivious. For years, the massive pair of warriors have maintained careful distance while making sure no others take advantage of her maiden charms. And Laurel’s about fed up with them cock-blocking her.

When new danger descends on Zenithia, Jedrek, Dex, and Laurel are thrown into close quarters, which only ignites their three-way lust to boiling point. Just as ultimate intergalactic love seems within their reach, the plot against humans on Zenithia reaches its deadliest endgame.

Hot, hot, hot….

“I’m about to kiss that smirk right the fuck off your face…”

Ahh… nothing like warrior love talk! This sweet, sexy novella was full of that and more as Dex and Jed, with the lovely Laurel, were finally, finally, going to have their chance at love…

Dex and Jed have been circling each other for two whole books and their coming together was as fiery as promised. They were warriors, their courtship was not full of flowers and chocolate.
Instead, there were sultry glances, rough talk and a promise that once they hit the sheets, they were both going to explode in frustrated lust. Whew, did they ever!

“I can’t get close enough.”

All that sexy banter and hints of barely contained lust rolled up into one passionate scene after another that burnt holes in the kindle screen each and every and time… While Laurel fit a bit awkwardly into their trio, that in no way took away from the heat and the emotion that couldn’t be contained any longer between these devoted alien fighters. The conclusion to this series wrapped up the overarching plot and closed all the plot lines neatly even as I was sorry to let them go… ~Diane, 4 stars

If you haven't read Rie Warren you need to rectify that right NOW! She has once again blown me away with her amazing words and it's no wonder she is one of favorite authors.

Rie has an uncanny ability to craft the most vivid worlds, painting a picture with her words. Taming the Alien Warriers is the third (and possibly final) book in the Intergalactic Lurve series. I am a huge fan of the first two books in the series but holy hell book 3 may be my absolute favorite.

Book three picks up right where book 2 ended, but dont fret all three can be read as standalones (although I do encourage you to read them in order for there is an underlying story, a mystery that connects all three books).

Here we are intimalty introduced to Dex, Jedrek and Laurel - yes, two men and a woman! Rie is an amazing author, see above, and she writes wonderful MF stories but she excels when writing MM and when she adds a third, a F... oh wow!!!!!!!!

Dex and Jedrek heat up the pages of Taming the Alien Warriers but Dex, Jedrek and Laural make the pages sweat and steam! This book is sexy, dirty (sometimes filthy) but oh so good!

If this is the conclusion of the Intergalactic Lurve series it's an amazing ending for Rie Warren's best series she has ever written! But please, please, please give us more!!!!!!!!!

Holy hotness!

This is Dex, Jedrek and Laurels story.

This is the story I've been waiting for, Sexy Dex and Jed are pretty hot and heavy from the start, it only gets hotter the more you get into the story.
Laurel is another feisty human, however she was saved by Dex and Jedrek from another planet that kidnapped her from earth. She doesn't know why the pair keep everyone away from her but never make a move themselves. That is until they let her know their feelings.
The chemistry between all three of them is off the charts.

I love that we get to see all the other couples in this book too.

The climax of the human black market adds drama to the story, it had me on the edge of my seat.

I really hope this isn't the last book in the series, I have enjoyed every story so far.

*I received this book free from the author in exchange for an honest review*

If you've read the first two books then you already know the heat that has been building up between Jedrek and Dex and let me say that you will not be disappointed.

As Jedrek continues to make his desires evident it's kind of hilarious to watch since he's more typically the quiet one, but Dex's first reactions are just as funny. Run, hide, avoid...like anyone can avoid their roommate or their own growing desires. Neither Jedrek nor Dex have ever been with a man, sharing a girl is different from being together without one in between them, but that doesn't stop the intense desires they each have for one another.

"When did this start?"
"No idea. Fuck. Months ago." Jedrek grunted when I squeezed the taut cheeks of his ass. "Could've been years. I just fucking want you in my bed, Dex."

Laurel was taken from Earth and enslaved on another planet; Jedrek and Dex saved her from a cage and have been over protective of her ever since. They both want her so neither had made their move, but once Jedrek and Dex decide to be together then they can both have Laurel. Hello, threesome love!

"Ssshh." He chuckled, but it was a throbbing sound. "You'll disturb Laurel."
"You try staying quiet when I ram my cock up your ass."

Taming the Alien Warriors was sensual and climatic. I absolutely loved seeing the story through each of their eyes. Seeing how intense each of their desires were made it impossible to not feel it firsthand. Talk about being drawn into a story. Not to mention the warrior aspect. The person behind the human kidnapping ring is not only found, but brought to swift justice. Nice form X, that's how to be a king! 

All of the characters play such a large part in the storyline so it's wonderful that they are all so loveable. Prairie's mouth, X's ability to not only be king but to be an incredible husband and dad, Astrid's curiosity, Zane's strength, Laurel's sweetness, Jedrek's determination, and Dex's protectiveness...together they make Intergalactic Lurve one hell of a series.

Holy hotness! This has been my favorite book of the series so far – I think because we got glimpses of these characters in the previous two books and I just couldn’t wait for them to get their own story. It’s off the charts steamy and we get more of the previous characters as well – I really enjoyed it!

Dex and Jedrek are guards and warriors for their Zenithian planet – they also happen to be best friends. Over the years the two have shared women but it’s never been anything more than one night. Jedrek realizes he’s starting to have feelings for Dex and though it takes him ages he finally decides to act on these feelings. Just as the two begin to explore one another tragedy strikes and Dex and Jedrek both jump to protect Laurel, a woman they’ve been pining after for a while. One thing leads to another and the three quickly wind up in bed together.

I love that though most of this book is “bedroom” scenes it still has a strong storyline outside the sheets. Though I do believe any of these books could be read as a stand-alone, to get the full picture of what is happening I recommend starting from the start of the series. This book, same as the previous, has strong characters, an intriguing storyline and a fast pace that will have you unable to put it down.

~~I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads ~~

This is the third book in the series - and I really recommend that you read them in order, because the plot (yes, there is an underlying plot!) continues through them all and will help you understand it (as much as one can ever grasp the workings of an alien genre writer's mind!). All three are super crazy, but also super hot and sexy, so be ready with a well iced drink (or another solution!).

Jedrek and Dex have been giving off hints about their attraction to each other for the last two books, and Prairie is matchmaking the best she can. Now that they have both also found an interest in released human slave Lauren, things are going to get even more complicated and spicy. Unfortunately there are still baddie aliens at large, and royal babies to be born, so it's not all rampant hormones ... or it is but on occasion they are temporarily thwarted!

This may be the hottest of the bunch, so be warned! Thank you Ms Warren for a series which will do much to improve intergalactic relations for years to come !!

Well about dang time Dex and Jedrek get together! The constant side looks and longing were worth the wait and ya know it was bound to happen but geez it took forever! The reward for making us wait so long - Laurel. Yuppers…not only do we get M/M action, but we also get M/F and M/M/F as well. Happy ménage à trois!

Leaving the smut aside, Taming the Alien Warriors made a great ending for The Intergalactic Lurve series. We get to experience characters from previous books get extended HEAs, with Prairies and X’s being the most entertaining. Twins! Hahahaha! Good luck with that. The hooking up of Dex, Jedrek and Laurel; That ain’t all about the sex. There’s actually love somewhere in all that bumping uglies. Add in to the fun is the conclusion to who was after the humans and the black market. Kind felt that got lost in all the boinking but at least it was covered.

Fast pace and hot. That’s what the whole series consisted of. Not a whole lot of SciFi-ness to it, so reader wanting something on the technical side will be disappointed. However, for those wanting some out of this world sexy antics, Rie Warren will not let you down.

I think it might be time for an extended camping trip to Area 51. Seriously, I need to find this planet! LOL

This series is so much fun...however, in this installment we got to meet some very ticked off aliens, fortunately these boys know how to get the job done.

What great fun, thanks Rie Warren for stepping outside your box.

Rie Warren has once again proven to me why she is one of my favorite authors! Taming the Alien Warriors kept me entertained from the beginning and I could not put it down. Jed, Dex and Laurel had so much chemistry I thought my Kindle would go up in smokes. The banter between all the characters had me laughing and kept me turning the page as fast as I could just to see what would happen next. I am completely in love with Rie Warren's Intergalactic Lurve series and can not recommend it enough, and this coming from someone who is not a Sci-fi fan.

✯✯4 Triple Stars!!!✯✯

Wow just wow!! Every book in this series is hotter then the last. This is the third standalone in this series, but you really should read the first two before this one. I say that bc there is a major part of the storyline that’s been going on since book one.

Dex and Jedrek have been around since book one Taming The Alien King and from then we’ve seen the looks and quick glances passed between them. They’re warriors and bodyguards to the King X and Prince Zane and their mates Prairie and Astrid. They’re fierce and a force you don’t want to go up against.

Laurel was kidnapped from earth and kept prisoner on a planet. Until Dex and Jedrek barge in and rescue her. Laurel has since moved to planet Zenithian and wants to live there. She’s attracted to both of them and can see that they’re attracted to her. But, they won’t put any moves on her or let anyone else put the moves on her.

The guys work guarding, protecting, fighting and living together. Dex can’t help his growing attraction to Jedrek. They’ve had plenty of threesomes and share women before. But, that’s as far as it’s gone. Dex wants to change that and quick. He’s also attracted to Laurel and wouldn’t mind having them both. Jedrek sees that Dex has been acting different and being more bold about his feelings for him and what he wants to do to him. Jedrek can’t help but like the idea ESP since they’re in agreement on their feelings for Laurel.

But, then there’s another attack against humans and they instantly move Laurel in their place to make sure she’s safe. Even though they have a job to do the three of them end up working their own issues out. They all agree three is better then two. But, in order for it to be fully OK the guys along with their King and Prince must find the traitor.

I finished this book in one sitting. And, man it was fantastic. It had the suspense, the love and holy hell it was hot. I mean my kindle was on fire. I’m in love with both of these fine men and Laurel was their perfect match. I know I keep hearing this is the last book in the series. But, I’m hoping and praying the author changes her mind bc there’s SO many other storylines that need to be told.

My only complaint was the traitor ending. I felt it went for three books and I felt the ending was rushed. I felt it couldn’t of been that easy and that the person who was close to the traitor didn’t know and wasn’t even questioned. Other then that I loved it.

“Scorching hot, out-of-this-world threesome!”

TAMING THE ALIEN WARRIORS: Sci-Fi Alien Warriors MMF Menage (Intergalactic Lurve, Book #3) written by Rie Warren is my first read by this author, and apparently, this is her first MMF ménage featuring aliens! Elite Valkrane warriors Dex and Jedrek have been friends for a long time, sharing things from their quarters to women. They both have their protective eyes on a little human named Laurel, who was once enslaved but now dances and entertains for King “X” and his court. Lately, Jedrek has made it pretty obvious to everyone around them that he was attracted to Dex…but Dex was confused and slow to catch on until Jedrek makes his message absolutely crystal clear. But then, Laurel goes missing, but this just leads to an opportunity to keep her close and get closer to her while rumors of humans ending up in the slave trade start to gather force. Two hulking warriors and their perfect human! Loved this story and have already a couple more of her stories from this series on my TBR list!

It’s only been a few weeks and I thought that I had maybe exaggerated how hot Rie Warren writes. The fact is, I wasn’t exaggerating. The Alien Warriors had me hot and bothered within moments of starting this book again. This story has a healthy dose of angst, an adorable set of twins and the story just flows straight back to where we left off.

This world hasn’t expanded in this book but everything is tidied up neatly. I still hoped to see more of the world Rie Warren had created and I am hoping that Cosmo and Kerta get a book of there own.

I really enjoy the way Rie Warren writes. If you want action, some romance and a whole lot of smoking hot scenes then this is the writer for you.

Taming the Alien Warriors by Rie Warren is the third book in the Intergalactic Lurve Series. While every book can be read as a standalone, I recommend to read the books in order. The previous books are Taming the Alien King, X and Prairie´s story and Taming the Alien Prince, Zane and Astrid´s story.

This is Dex, Jedrek and Laurel´s story.
Dex and Jedrek are mighty and fierce Valkrane warriors. They had each others backs for a long time. And Dex has a serious crush on Jedrek, but never acted on it. ´til now. When a beautiful human woman shows up, both men are goner.

Taming the Alien Warriors is a scorching hot nsfw and contains mmf scenes. I was greatly entertained by this book and give 4 hot stars.

Dex and Jedrek are in the previous two Intergalactic Lurve books. After reading book one I couldn't wait for book 2. For this one I wasn't overly excited for like I was with book two. I wasn't really feeling Jedrek and Dex before I started reading it. Basically, when I started reading this one it was more to see how the underlining story ended. It took a bit but I warmed up to
Jedrek and Dex and then throw Laurel in and I was hooked. Jedrek and Dex are strong alpha warriors. They like each and both like Laurel. I kind of thought Laurel was going to be a weak character but she wasn't. I went into this one without high expectations that I would like but I did really enjoy this one.

While i love a hot m/m/f read as much as the next girl but this isn't what it felt like to me. It was more like hot man action with hotties Dex and Jedrek, and they just added Laurel as a afterthought because the author told us it was a m/m/f. I don't feel Laurel had a place in the story and was basically overshadowed and easily forgotten with the hotness that is Dex and Jedrek.

I enjoyed this story

I read them out of order. However, I wish I didn't feel like the female was the afterthought. I didn't feel like they connected with her more than with each other.

Steamy as the first two times three.

What happens when you combine two alpha males and the woman they love? Well, it pretty much guarantees that things will get extremely interesting. I found this book expectedly carnal and raw. It was as intense as you would expect from the warriors that Prairie coined ‘Sexy Dex’ and Jed back in the first book. While the alpha males made me drool, there was a tiny bit of vulnerability in Laurel which was mostly overpowered by her total badass-ery! She was the perfect female to complete their triad.

I loved every moment of it and while it felt a bit rushed at times, it was because the story needed it to be. I didn’t feel like I missed out on anything and it was just as steamy as the first two books.

I have no clue how Rie Warren does it, but there’s always at least one scene or conversation that shocks me (in a good way) and leaves me going woo! Holy hot and OMG can I have one of these men in my life please. Or two? Or just that moment RIGHT. THERE.

You should read this. More than once. I did.

This one is by far the hottest in this series and I mean it steams up everywhere.
This is Dex,  Jedrek, and Laurels story .

The warriors have made sure no one else touches Laurel and she is pissed , now these three are put into close quarters together hence the hit steamy scenes, but of course it can't all be kisses and hotness and we have baddies wanting to hurt the humans .
