The Krinar Chronicles #0.4-0.5 included
Taken by the Krinar
For a limited time, get three scorching hot sci-fi romances from New York Times bestseller Anna Zaires in one convenient, discounted bundle. These two full-length novels and bonus short story comprise over 600 pages of “stunningly sexy & deliciously inventive” science fiction romance!
This unique bundle contains the following books:
The Krinar Captive
Emily Ross never expected to survive her deadly fall in the Costa Rican jungle, and she certainly never thought she’d wake up in a strangely futuristic dwelling, held captive by the most beautiful man she’d ever seen. A man who seems to be more than human…
Zaron is on Earth to facilitate the Krinar invasion—and to forget the terrible tragedy that ripped apart his life. Yet when he finds the broken body of a human girl, everything changes. For the first time in years, he feels something more than rage and grief, and Emily is the reason for that. Letting her go would compromise his mission, but keeping her could destroy him all over again.
The Krinar Exposé
What happens in an alien sex club stays in an alien sex club, right?
Well... not if you pen an exposé on the place. And certainly not if you omit the fact that the experiences in the article are your own.
Or if the Krinar you’ve hooked up with is the club's owner, whose many kinks involve blackmail and mind games.
For a young journalist out to prove herself, it's all about landing the next big story.
Until it becomes all about landing in a possessive alien's penthouse bed.
Swept Away (Bonus Short Story!)
When Delia sees the naked man emerging from the stormy sea, she knows he must be more than human. Gorgeous and powerful, the god-like stranger saves her from certain death, but his rescue comes at a price: herself.

I WON THIS KINDLE COPY FROM A GOODREADS GIVEAWAY!! BUT I HAD ALREAD READ THE KRINAR BOOKS.
The Krinar Captive
EXCELLANT STORY!! I stayed up all night to finish Emily and Zaron's story! Every pages and every scene was full of adventure, surprised and a true passionate love story between Emily and Zaron. The Krinar Captive is a prequel to the other Krinar books sereis. Zaron has been sent ahead of Krinars first contact ships to find the proper places the Krinar should colonize on earth an were there planets food sources can grow and thrive.
Eight years ago Zaron lost his mate and he's still is grieving her dead. He finds Emily's broken twisted body after she fall off a bridge in Costa Rica while on her vacation. Emily's parents died when she was 4 so she is acquainted with the loss and grieving of loved ones. These helps draw the couple together.
I loved all the futurist invention of the Krinar and watching through Emily's eyes as she is introduced too technology she could never have fathom. Zoran can't let Emily leave before the First Contact of his planets landing on earth. The two fall slowly but passionately in love they have one hot sexy, Erotic romance. Very Erotic as we all know Anna Zaires is capable of writing.
The Krinar Captive is a fast paced, well developed story. It can stand alone but I recommend you read the other books in the series. I really hope Anne Zaires continues the Krinar series and that it doesn't take as long as this one did to get the next book.
I Highly Recommend The Krinar Captive!! and The Krinar Expose'

This power pack of a bundle will have you taken by the sexiest alien Krianr’s you can ever hope to find. With these hot dark heroes you will absolutely need a big glass of water or your partner nearby.
The Krinar Captive
This was an amazing read that had all the feels. This story starts with what our heroine Emily thinks is her end. After a horrible fall on her beautiful Costa Rican vacation, the last thing Emily ever expected was to wake up alive, healthy, and with the most beautiful man she has ever laid eyes on, nor did Zaron expect this little human to captivate his heart to such a degree. Now Zaron may never let his little captive go.
Emily is an amazing strong and independent heroine that I couldn’t help but be drawn to. She is such an ambitious character that not only knows what she wants in life but works to achieve it no matter what. When the issue of being saved by an extraterrestrial seems to pose a threat to that goal, she can’t help but try and put up a fight. I have to say the way in which she defies Zaron and how she handles the situation is very gripping and really drew me into her character.
I also loved Zaron’s character. This is one anti or dark hero that I had to constantly remind myself he was in fact a dark hero. He is so attentive to Emily’s every need and desire in a way that had my heart melting almost all the way through this story. Zaron arrives on earth before the Krinar invasion, so the coexisting between the two species has not happened yet and most Krinar see humans in a not so great light. I really loved how despite his lack of actual human interaction, Zaron overcame his initial impressions of humans when he sees this human girl and saves her life. All of this just adds to the allure of his darker nature and makes him one heck of a hot read.
The story line in this one was simply fantastic. I really enjoyed reading a romance before the invasion and seeing how the Krinar set up their whole tactic for joining humans on earth. This was simply a fantastic story any romance lover will enjoy.

The Krinar Exposé
Ok… if you want a story that will be sure to leave you panting, this is the one for you. When you visit the lower levels of Vair’s club you will never want to leave.
The Krinar Exposé starts with the lovely heroine, Amy, looking to further her journalist career by writing a little story with some extraterrestrial pizzazz. Amy decides to write an article about the underground world that involves the Krinar. What she doesn’t expect is to get involved with it in a very intimate way.
I absolutely LOVED this book. Even though I could never be as brave as she was, Amy is one of my favorite heroines form this universe. The way in which she walks into this club full of beings she knows she can never defeat and that the authorities have no control over all to further her career by writing something she thinks can also help humanity is simply amazing. I really loved how she overcame her every fear and just went for it. I also loved her fire when she is then faced with the consequences of her actions. Amy is a character that stuck with me for a very long time.
Vair is one of the most interesting Krinar I have met yet. He owns an underground human Krinar hook up club in the hopes of learning more about the effects of certain human Krinar relations. He is doing this so his people can better know how to protect the Krinar and the humans they fall in love with. While this desire to further the community is very common amongst the Krinar, what was interesting to me was the way in which he wanted to play with his new human mate. Vair is very much so the dark hero, and I have to say, I couldn’t help but be drawn to him. He will have the girl he wants, but rather than just flat out taking her like he could do, he decides to play a game with her. Games that turn into one of the most thrilling and steamy things I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Yet through all of this he finds himself head over heels for Amy in a way that pulls at the heart stings.

Swept Away
When this third century BC girl sees a hot as heck man walking out of the ocean, the only logical assumption is that she’s looking at a god, and who wouldn’t want to worship at this one’s alter?
Swept away is a masterfully written novella that I fell in love with. Considering I usually do not love novellas, that is saying something. Our story starts with Delia in a very dangerous situation that our dark Krinar hero, Arus, saves her from.
I really enjoyed Delia’s character. Given the time period she is featured in, I found her character to be very loyal and authentic which helped me form an emotional connection with her almost right away. I loved how she reacts to being saved by Arus and what the price for that rescue might be.
Arus is a character that I have met before, and I loved seeing him in a new light. The way in which he does care for this human girl is heartwarming. I loved how he reacts to her perception of who and what he is. I also really loved how he handles the situation of wanting to keep her for himself.
This story is a very short one but I found myself loving it. The way everything plays out is nothing short of amazing.
To read my full review please visit my blog.
Overall:
All three stories in this bundle are beautifully written and deeply compelling. The characters are all nothing short of amazing to read. I found that I could connect with them on an emotional level that often surprised me. The dark heroes in these stories will have you wishing one of the Krinar would choose you as their new special mate too.
Would I Recommend It:
In a flat second to anyone who enjoys dark romance. With that said some of the stories in this book bundle are for sure a dark romance. If the elements mentioned in any of the synopses makes you think it might contain triggers for you, please take that into consideration before buying this bundle.

Writers Anna Zaires and Hettie Ivers have instantly become my two best loved and preferred fiction authors.
Zaires with her Twist Me, Close Liaisons and my favorite, the Capture Me trilogy, and Ivers with her seven book unbelievable werelock series...absolutely proves their greatness as writers. So when the stars align and these two come together for a standalone novel, readers are in for a treat. Beguiling characters, unimaginable scorching sex scenes and long engaging conversations flared with a bit of humor.
I immediately loved the main female character Amy. And the scene at her desk with the swingline twenty-sheet three-prong hole punch is probably my favorite scene in the entire book. Absolutely hilarious.
But that's not all, Zaires includes two of her own standalone novels in this Krinar three book combo. This novel combination is a must read for any Krinar fan and any fan of great storylines with incredible world building and colorful characters. FIVE STARS.

three complete erotic stories of dominance and submission
Krinar Captive is an unusual story of rescue and obsession.Soren a Krinar biologist rescues Emily from a fall that could have caused her death if he did not save her. She is overwhelmed by his being an alien and he craves her sexually. He is still mourning the death of his mate and has conflicting emotions about establishing a relationship. His goal is to keep her till he has to let her go. At first she’s horrified about his advances but their is an attraction possibly pheromones that pull them into an aggressive sexual relationship. Emily also has relationship issues and thinks she has developed Stockholm syndrome. She’s career oriented and fears poverty. This all takes place pre invasion and then post invasion when she returns to NYC from Costa Rica. Soren’s sexual aggression and manipulation can be off putting. However those behaviors express personality and Krinar culture.
The second book about Vair and Amy is about a young journalist who wants to make a name for herself by exploring a Krinar sex club. She is a morally conflicted individual who was raised by parents who used fear of the world as a control tool. So Amy reacts to threats and needs to believe she’s being coerced into actions that are not her fault. Vair becomes enamored of her immediately and stakes his claim. He uses her fears to manipulate her but doesn’t control her or restrict her. He encourages her to take what she wants. The conflict is her inability to accept herself. This is an erotic story of a women learning who she really is.
The third story takes place several thousand years before the invasion and demonstrates Krinar culture and abilities. Arus is witnessed by Delia coming out of a storm tossed sea. She thinks he is a god. He rescues her, shelters her, feeds her and then has sex with her. She becomes the first known Charl in the series. She becomes his partner and mate in life.
These stories set up the Krinar culture and world and give a glimpse of future characters and stories. The stories are well written with the intent of setting the stage for an alien invasion and coexistence agreement. It hints at tension and strife which appear in other books.

It was ok. The sex scenes tend to be a bit repetitive but the storyline was good.
