Tann

Delti Utopia 6 #1

by Celeste Raye

How far would you go to gain freedom from slavery? Would piracy be better than slavery?

Mariana believed it would be. She was willing to leave her mother, her best friend, and even her world behind to find out. The lure of freedom and opulence on way station Delti Utopia 6 had her dreaming of a better life. She escaped her alien owner and hid aboard a trading vessel in search of a new life. Instead, she found there were more forms of slavery than she'd imagined.

Tann had a job to do. As an undercover space cop he became engulfed in piracy. He handled the thievery, cruelty, and killing without batting an eye, until his captain called for the deaths of stowaway children. He used his innate ability as a weredragon to defy the order, risking his alter ego and his life.

While trying to prove their worth among the pirate crew and mentor a teenage weredragon, Mariana and Tann discover each other along with the love neither expected. Intrigue, secrecy, and treason change their plans and their futures.

What makes Delti Utopia 6 thrive when other way stations go bankrupt? Follow the trail of clues in this series.

Mariana and Tann have some tough decisions ahead of themselves. He is on a dangerous mission and she is making a dangerous choice. There is lots of action and romance and plenty of surprises in this story.

I am voluntarily reviewing a copy I received.

On this planet, you either owned a slave or were a slave. Mariana and her mother used to be in the wealthy corporate class. But when her father died, the corporation called him a traitor and took everything away from them. To save Mariana, her mother took her to a rich alien’s garden to leave her but was caught. The alien offered her a job cleaning and cooking in the mansion, and Mariana became a playmate and friend to the alien’s daughter. But by the age of 18, which was in a week, she was to be sold; her blond hair, blue eyes, and curves were already gaining the attention of alien men. The only way for her to have freedom would be to join the pirates that robbed the wealthy at the way stations. Tylina and Mariana made plans to get her to the space dock to sneak aboard a spaceship to the Delti Utopia 6 way station.

Tann was a weredragon cop, currently working undercover as a space pirate. After 3 months, he still hadn’t learned much and even the pirate gang didn’t trust him. Yet the way the casinos treated his pirate boss and the extra money he threw around made it obvious something more was going on other than the small raids he had been part of. When the garbage ship landed, the pirates waited to grab whatever items of value were thrown away. They saw Mariana and the 4 children she had met sneaking onto the ship and assumed they were stealing their plunder! When they tried to kill the children, a huge dragon flew down and protected them, telling the pirate leader that if the children did steal from him, he would personally kill them and allow the leader to kill him in return. Fortunately, Torbin agreed with him that killing the children would bring the authorities after the pirates.

Torbin left orders for Tann to steal the entire garbage ship for valuable technology they would sell. But Mariana and Tika were caught sneaking back aboard. Mariana wanted to be a pirate and Tika, a young weredragon, wanted Tann to teach her to control her shifts. The females talked Torbin into how they could be of value stealing from rich casino clients, and he informed them he now owned them. Mariana’s arguments made no difference. How would she and Tika escape now? Her plans obviously were not working out and the two females were in danger.

This was a good book with a fast-moving storyline. Tann and Mariana were strong characters with wonderful chemistry together. The story was full of romance, suspense, action, and surprising twists and turns which kept the reader fully involved in the outcome. Grab a copy and see what future awaits them.

I love Celeste Raye’s sci-fi romance stories I love the aliens but I love the women more they are sassy, stubborn strong women and they give their men a run for their money lol. Mariana came from a wealthy family but when her father died everything was taken from them, so she ended up being a slave and playmate for a little girl. Mia was just about to turn 18 and she was going to be sold as a slave again but she planned to escape and go to Delti Utopia 6 way station to become a pirate and rob the rich. Tann is an undercover cop he’s also a Were Dragon who is pretending to be a pirate, he meets Mariana and tries to keep her out of trouble but he has to bring the pirates down and if he can’t get Mariana away from the others then she will go down just like all of the others. There’s danger, suspense, action, love, passion and so much more to keep you entertained and turning the pages. A fantastic story a 5 plus ⭐️ read and I highly recommend this book it’s definitely well worth the read.

I just loved the mystery surrounding this story! As the first book in a new series, you only get a glimpse of the overall picture the author is going to tell us. But I know this will be a pretty intense and interesting series! Tann is an undercover agent masquerading as a space pirate. Mariana is an innocent and naïve young lady trying to escape from a future of slavery. She dreams of the freedom being a space pirate can give her. When she becomes caught up in this new world she gets more than she bargained for. Including a fiery love and babysitting a teen weredragon. Around their relationship we try to figure out the mystery of way station Delti Utopia 6 and the thieves who steal from it. Overall a fun and romantic read!

Tann is the first book in the Delti Utopia 6 series.

Final Rating: 5 Stars

BETWEEN THAT ROCK AND HARD PLACE is a promise . . .
Loved this one! Another well written Sci-fi romance novel by Celeste Raye. If you are in the market for a fast-paced, suspenseful story with well-developed characters who are both powerful and comely. Then “TANN” by Celeste Raye is the book to read today! I fell in love with Mariana whose schemes designed to get her to freedom seemed to backfire at every turn, pulling her and her friend deeper into a different form of slavery. Just when everything looked bleakest, Tann enters in a new form and tries to save the day. Will Mariana and Tann find a way to accomplish what each of them wants, needs and longs for? Only reading “TANN” will tell! I volunteered to read an ARC copy of “TANN” and give an honest review. Readers of romance (Adults only please) will love this sensuous tale of action and romance! It is a 5+STAR review and STRONG recommendation to purchase your copy of “TANN” today. Happy pages! 😉

Another hit series is on its way. This book was outstanding and funny and truly enjoyable. It kept us on out toes but also made us fall in love with the characters.  We find Mariana and Tann the perfect half of each other and they have to fight for what they want. By the end though we watch as truth and happiness prevail and love is all that matters.  I think with every story that we read from her it makes us grow as fans. I absolutely love reading new stuff and so can't wait til book 2. I give it 5 stars absolutely. I voluntarily reviewed this book for an honest review.

Action packed tale of space pirates. Tann is an undercover space cop, tasked with taking down the pirates. When he encounters Mariana and Tika, his plans are disrupted and he must now keep them safe while continuing his masquerade. This is a great first book in a new series and I can’t wait until the next one comes out. The story looks like it will get more exciting as it goes forward. I would highly recommend this book to science fiction lovers.
I received a pre-release copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Tann

Celeste Raye never fails to amaze me and always gives me books worth spending the money and time on. This is just another of her great books, it flows evenly , the story doesn't bounce around in different topics. It stays on one item until it's finished then moved on. I could only wish that if we were to ever meet with any aliens they would be just like the ones in her stories. If you don't or haven't read any of her books you're missing a lot.

As expected, this book was awesome. The story line and the characters did not disappoint, it was captivating and really hard to put down. Tann is a space cop and Marianne is a runaway slave. I really enjoyed this book and will definitely recommend it.

Story was okay.

The storyline was okay. It was a fast read there was no Cliffhangers. I hate Cliffhangers, if you want a quick read a fairly good storyline here's your book.

[Angie Turner · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good

This book was good as a starting point for a space pirate story line. I look forward to the next book.

[shannon Stubbs · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good start

I hope this is a good start to a good detective story. I like the sci-fi element to it. It would be decent even with the romantic scenes deleted.
