[Tammy · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the 3rd book in the series but it can be read as a stand-alone. Lina is finally read to leave her abusive ex-boyfriend Chad. When she does, lightening strikes her and she wakes up on a different planet. Will the men of this planet be as horrible as the ones on Earth? Fast-paced read with plenty of drama and lots of steam. I really liked this sci-fi reverse harem read.

[Kathleen Bradbury (Bulfon) · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a quick and easy read. The storyline is well-crafted, intriguing, suspenseful, has drama and steam. The characters are defined, and likable with sizzling chemistry. I liked it.

This is the third story in the Purple Planet series. This story could be read as a standalone and still be enjoyable, but I would recommend reading the first two, Alien Barbarians' Hope and Alien Barbarians' Mate so you can better understand the new world these women have come to and their culture. Plus, all the characters from the previous books are in this one too.

Fantastic world-building with rich, in-depth characters! I loved this story, this entire series! I will be following Zara Starr because she writes some AWESOME stories!

On Earth, strange storms are happening and the governments have advised everyone to try to stay inside when the strange storms happen because people have gone missing when they are out in the bad weather.

On the far-away planet of Eilahas, the beings are all purple-skinned and would be considered somewhat primitive. They live like cavemen, living in caves, hunting for their food. Several decades ago, the women came down with an illness that either killed them or made them sterile. There hasn't been any babies born in at least 25 years, let alone females for all the remaining men. When Earth women have shown up, one at a time, they are told that they have to choose three men to mate with. It is so there are protectors and providers for the precious live-giving females.

Lila is in an abusive relationship where Chad has isolated her from her friends and family. He verbally and physically abuses her. She can't seem to do anything right. When she does everything that he wants, he finds something else to beat her about. She isn't allowed to have her pet chihuahua, Butterscotch, in their home, she has to keep it outside. After he chokes her and bruises her face up, he sends her out into the strange storms to get some meat for his meal. She happily goes, alone with Butter, anything to get her away from Chad. She gets hit with lightning and wakes up in the tropical jungle of Eilahas. A huge purple alien, Maun, finds her and brings her to their healer. While she is there another Earth female, Ella comes in for her prenatal potion care. Ella has been on the planet for a year now and has learned their language so she is able to translate. When Mikaela comes to the healer suspecting that she might be pregnant, she befriends Lila too. Between the two Earth women who have been here for a while, they are able to enlighten Lila about the whole new world she is in and what will be expected of her.

Maun is the one who found Lila and up till now has been a mean person towards others. He wants to immediately claim her as his and hide her in his cave. But he is concerned with the bruises on her. He doesn't understand how any man could treat a precious female like that. He tries to be around her all the time and to care for her as much as can be. He immediately goes out to hunt so he can make his favorite stew for her. That way he can show he can provide for her. He is a cousin with one of Mikaela's mates.

Khay is brother to one of Ella's mates and has escorted her to the healer. He sees Lila there and he is instantly drawn to her. He loves her red hair, green eyes, and pale skin. He wants to prove to her that he can be a good protector and provider for her. He brings her snack foods for her to eat until she can get a meal. He gives her one of his mother's hair combs that would look great in her beautiful hair.

Baer almost lost his arm years ago, and in their society, that means that he is flawed. He went along with such bunk, but when he sees Lila, he is totally smitten. He knows that he has to prove himself. He sees that she was harmed before she got here so he tries to be calm and safe for her to be around. He also knows that one way to get her to notice him is to provide not only for her, with some of his mother's beautiful clothing, but to care for her pet dog.

Another storm, another female

Lina ducked as a 40 oz bottle of liquor smashed into the wall above her head. Her boyfriend Chadwick Andrew Browne was at it again, as he trapped her neck n smacked her face. Get in the kitchen n make something a real man can eat. But there's no meat. Go get some. He threw her hoodie at her n smacked her ass as she headed to the door. Outside, rain n purple lightning ruptured the sky. It was one of those crazy storms the news has been talking about. Several people had gone missing, also there'd been sightings of dragons. After 4 wasted yrs, I'll take my chances, she murmured as she rushed back to get her dog. Hit by lightning, everything went black. When she awoke surrounded by strange trees n a strange sky, her first thought was, well definitely not Philly. A purple man speaking a strange language approached me reaching his hand out. I shrank back, n he dropped his hand. "Come", he said, as he started walking. Looking back to see if I was following. Might as well see what's up n where exactly I was.
As she learns that she would be expected to choose 3 Eilahasan males as her mates, she balks. No way would she endure the same abuse that was inflicted upon her by Chad. The more contact with the Eilahasan males, she begins to question herself. Could I truly adjust to this civilization? More importantly, will I find happiness? After staying so long with Chad, trying to do everything in my power to please him, to no avail. I swore that being stuck in anything that made me feel so useless was a situation I would never again place myself.
Maun, cousin to Arh, found Lina while hunting for reyolagas. Learning from his cousin's mistake, he stayed clear of the dog. (Arh's mate fought him when he tried to kill the dog). Maun's father once told him, "Wisdom was something one usually obtained after making huge mistakes. Pay attention to the mistakes of those around you & learn from them". Advice he followed to become the hunter he was. He leads the female to his Aunt Veruka, the tribes healer, concerned about the marks on her face n throat. (Seething inside, without letting the female know, that anybody could hurt such a beautiful female was appalling.) He also thought it was absurd how anyone feel anything toward such fragile females. To his dismay, heat rushed thru him when he approached the female. He decided he wanted to be the 1st male to lay claim to her during the trial ceremony.
Khay, Karr's brother, was tasked by him to take his mate Ella to the healer for her daily checkup. Once there he saw the most glorious female he'd ever been blessed with seeing. Her hair the color of flames at night. He too saw the marks on her skin n shot Maun a dangerous look. Ella spoke to the woman n relayed the information in Eilahasan about the marks. Khay wished the male was here so he could experience the same punishment he made the female endure. He also wanted to become another one of her mates, to show her how truly blessed n special she was.
Baer smelled a strange scent filtering into his nostrils. Following the scent, he found himself outside Veruka's meadow. After gaining permission to enter, he was instantly petrified n in awe of the most beautiful creature holding the dog. Fluttery feelings coursed thru his chest, an undeniable sensation to become another mate went through him but he quashed it. After all who would want a scarred mate. But then again, he remembered that one of Ella's mate was scarred. So he gave himself hope that if he "gifted" Lina everything she wanted, maybe her heart would lean toward him during the ceremony.
The author also included the births of the first children in over 25 years since the deaths of the Eilahasan females. As Ella n Mikaela r both pregnant, with Ella coming close to term, n Mickie just beginning. What an auspicious occasion for the tribe. These stories r a wonderful testament to an authors imagination.

Lina had been in an abusive relationship with Chad Browne for four years now. At one time, they had almost married, but the continued abuse eroded all her love away. She had even learned to maneuver her face so that it didn’t hurt as bad when he hit her. Tonight he was hungry and sent her out in a bad storm to get him what he wanted. It wasn’t a normal storm, but was one of the crazy interdimensional storms the news had been talking about for months! She saw flashes of bluish-purple lightning streaking across the sky. There were even dragons that had some through and attacked people on the streets! And sadly, she was less afraid of the storm than she was of staying inside with Chad!

She went around to the fence at the back yard to get her Chihuahua, Butterscotch, who was curled in a ball and whining softly. Chad had put the dog out in the storm too. She jogged down the sidewalk carrying her dog, not knowing where they were going. But they had to get away. A bluish light flashed before her eyes and everything went white— knocking her to the ground. Another flash, and everything went black.

Lina woke up with trees all around her. She followed a tiny path and marveled at the beautiful flowers in colors she had never seen. Yet it felt like someone was watching her. Maun, a large purple alien, stepped out and used the only word he knew which he learned from the two other females – hello? He noticed her bruised face and led her to a healer to check the damage.

Maun, Khay, and Baer would all like to be chosen by Lina as members of her mate triad! She is not eager to trust anyone at all. And yet these large purple aliens definitely treat her better than Chad ever did. Will she put aside her fears when she recognizes that they seem to really care about her?

This is a good story. Even ending up in another world, Lina has a chance for a new and better life with mates who care for her. Will she make that choice? Or has Chad broken her and ruined her chance for happiness? And how will the men get along with each other – will they put her happiness first and learn to accept each other in the relationship if she chooses them?

Shell shocked

Chad slapped Lina then forced her to go the store in one of the freak thunderstorms. It was on the television warning everyone to stay indoors. But she had to go to the market, so she rescued Butterscotch from outside. Chad had thrown her outside in the rain. She was such a little dog, terrified of storms. Lina had had enough! As she was walking on the sidewalk trying to decide what to do next, there was a sudden clap of thunder. Then lightening struck right where she had been standing. Next thing she knew, she was in the mud starring at a blue sky. She still had Butterscotch in her arms as she exited the mud. Looking around, she was jungle like she had never seen on television. So, she decided that surely there would be a village somewhere. As she walked, she felt like she was being watched. She kept saying hello but no one was answering. She turned around and there was a seven foot purple man standing there. PURPLE! She was scared to death. He held both hands and pointed for her to go through the jungle. Main wanted to take her to his aunt's cave. She was the healer. But they didn't speak English. But there was two other human females there. That's where she met her perspective mates, Maun, Baer, and Khay. You will have to read the book to find out what, when, and how. But I guarantee you a happy ever after ending. I have read all three books in this series and each is in the same world but very different girls and situations. It is delightfully and an adult version of reading.

A truly enjoyable alien-barbarian reverse harem romance. The plot is well-paced & interesting with some completely unexpected events & situations. The well-developed characters are likeable & unique with their individuality. There are character crossovers from previous books but this book can be read as a standalone
There is: a insecure & fearful young woman (Lina) & her chihuahua (Butterscotch) determined to get away from her abusive boyfriend (Chad) goes on the run but then she is struck by strange lightning & somehow lands in a strange & unfamiliar world (Eilahas) with rather large purple aliens who treats her much better than her despicable ex, the three alien males (Maun, Khay & Baer) that are interested in her, tribe elders, strange scary creatures, twists & turns, intrigue, suspense, strange storms, disorientation, confusion, discovery, attractions, traditions, explanations, disbelief, apprehension, advice, determination, protectiveness, courtship, gifts, compromises, surprises, prejudices, unexpected camaraderie, festivals, courting politics, triad selection, happiness, contentment, some steam & a satisfying conclusion.

[Caroline Doig · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fantastic story even though this story is part of a series it can be read as a standalone but to truly know what is going on with the lightning storms then you should read from book 1 but it’s not imperative and this is book 3 to the Purple Planet. Lina knows that people have been going missing in the lightning storms but she is sent out in it anyway by her abusive boyfriend so on the way out she grabs her dog. While outside she is hit by lightning and when she wakes up she is in a field where she is saved by purple men / aliens and that is where her adventures start and Lina becomes a part of a triad where the men don’t know anything about abusing their female. At the end I went ahh gee I would like to have a couple of purple aliens for myself because I felt the love that they gave Lina, I loved this story it’s a fantastic read and I highly recommend this book it’s definitely well worth the read.

Lina has been abused most of her life from Chad her boyfriend. As he sends her out in the Electrical Storm she grabs her dog Butterscotch determined to leave her abuser Chad. Lightning strikes and she wakes up in a field in a strange and different planet. She is rescued by Maun who takes her to the healer. Here she meets two other Earth women that arrived on the planet the same way she did. She also meets Khay and Baer. They are all purple, huge males and they all seek to gain her favors. So much excitement, action, adventure, trust that Lina had to learn. She learns that she will be part of a Triad of three males and one female. I love how each of the males are chosen and how each of them treats her with love, consideration, respect and honor. Such a wonderful story.

[Jessica Mitchell · Rating 5 out of 5]

Awe, what a cute love story. Spacey, trippy and magical planet called Eilahas. The beings are human like with three fingers and skin of purple. The biggest thing in this novel is language. They have to communicate through pictures or body gestures. Which is why you see each person is taking turns in telling his or her side of the story. I honestly liked it. It's definitely a bit different from other stories I'm use to reading. And the planet sounds dreamy, but deadly (go figure).
Lina's life has really never been that easy since she started dating her significant other. But because of what he's done. She has no one to blame, but herself for sticking by his side through everything. When she decides that the weird weather is better than what she's facing in the house. She starts to feel better about herself. But what happens when lightening strikes her?

[Lory · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a enjoyable and entertaining read even though this story is party of a series it can be read as a standalone. But I would recommend that you check out the other two books in the series to get a better understanding of the new world and how the female try to adapt to the alien culture. Overall this was interesting read with unexpected situations plenty of emotions and action and course steamy romance to keep you hook from beginning to end. I received a free copy via booksprout I voluntarily read and review this ARC no monetary compensation was received and the opinions I have expressed are my own.

[Goddess of Chaos · Rating 4 out of 5]

There were aspects of of this book I adored, Lina rediscovering her self-worth, and having space in which to think k about what her life had devolved into was just part of it..

Each book in this series has common traits, the confident male, the underestimated male, the thoughtful male... and whether or not they were friends before, they unite to protect and care for one family unit, acknowledging, in the end, each contributes different strengths.

This done in one quick read seeks to offer the perspective of each of the main characters, so a few scenes are seen from various angles.

The Purple Planet...
Lina had been in an abusive relationship for years. She was apprehensive and reluctant to trust anyone when she woke to find herself on another planet. She doesn’t understand the language that the huge purple people speak and now they are telling her that she must choose three mates from among the eligible bachelors when she’s not sure that she even wants one.
Maun, Khay, and Baer work to put her at ease with the hopes that she will choose them.

I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. I really enjoyed this alien reverse harem. After being transported during a storm to another planet, she finds herself surrounded by large purple aliens. She finds out that she must choose a triad to be her mates. This is more of a slow burn story with high emotions. I think that you will enjoy this third book in the purple planet series. It can be read as a standalone

Third book in the series. Earth has changed. Storms come and people end up missing. Even dragons have been seen and they kill and destroy everything. So when Lina has a choice to stay home and be beaten or go into the storm, she makes the decision that will change her life. She is soon to meet the purple aliens of Eilahas. She will also meet two women from earth and learn that life is about to get even crazier. There is plenty of romance as the males try to win her over. But things won’t be easy for them or her.

Spoilers are included.

I really enjoyed this book. I loved the way the relationship developed between Lina, Baer, Khay, and Maun. The developing feelings of both romantic between Lina and the men and platonic between the men were really well done. I adored the way Lina and Mikaela felt for Butterscotch and Tremor. I am so glad everything worked out. This was a well done book.

Though I'm not into slow-burn, this book was definitely worth my time. Sweet and romantic, all characters were introduced appropriately and described at length. I really liked the story, the adventures on the new planet and how things progressed from the moment Lina was found until the end. There were repetitive parts in the book which I found unnecessary, but I enjoyed this story nevertheless :)

Lina is in an abusive relationship. In a storm going out for food she is transported to another world with huge purple aliens. However there were already two human women on the planet. Maun was out and discovered her. He said the only word he knew. Hello? This now leads to other things and she is helped by the alien Maun and his brothers.

This is a great standalone conclusion to the Purple Planet Series. This is well written and has a very interesting storyline. This action packed read is very entertaining and enjoyable. I really liked Maun, Khay, and Baer, Lina's men and their personalities. Chemistry is sizzling and creates great interactions between them.

Pretty Good Read

I enjoyed this book. It was different because it didn't follow the usual or expected paranormal or alien tracks. The instant transport via electric storms to a less civilized planet and people was a little halting to my imagination, but I managed to still enjoy the writing anyway.
