Primitive

Rate this book
I came to this planet to study men. I found only beasts.

I was sent to this world to help build a new Earth, but I was shocked by what I found here. The men of this planet are not just primitive savages. They are predators, and I am now their prey...

The government lied to all of us. Not all of the creatures who hunted and captured me are aliens. Some of them were human once, specimens transformed in labs into little more than feral beasts.

I fought, but I was thrown over a shoulder and carried off. I ran, but I was caught and punished. Now they are going to claim me, share me, and use me so roughly that when the last screaming climax has been wrung from my naked, helpless body, I wonder if I'll still know my own name.

Publisher's Note: Primitive includes spankings and rough, intense sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don't buy this book.

Primitively written

My disclaimer:I’m not really sure what I just read. I’m walking away from this with more questions than answers. The book itself was confusing, there was so much information that was lacking, hence my confusion. Now I’m not sure if it was confusing because of reader error, because there were times this book felt so monotonous. Repeating some of the same phrases, and ect it got a little boring to get through so I did start skimming.

I don’t know how the author created this new “earth two” without actually describing it. The only true description was that the weather changed so spontaneously and harshly. That was it? How do you open your readers up to a new world if that’s all you wrote about? This is supposed to be the first Earth’s last hope. It would behoove the author to give more descriptions, like what made it habitable, how was this world made up (land masses, bodies of water, rainforests), how far away was this earth from the last earth, what was the animal life? Poorly set stage for this new habitable world.

The beginning confused me. So this hand selected group of humans comes down to join the others, crash lands then somehow the main female character has these what seem like prophetic visions about being shared with aliens. Then when the ship crash lands she’s taken by the aliens then they all have group sex? And she’s just automatically turned on by their barbaric bdsm-like behavior. Like she struggles and “doesn’t want it” but like gets turned on by the roughness and suddenly it’s alright? They’re all sharing her and she’s so alright with this brand new experience/idea with a completely different species and she has no clue what they’re saying and ect.?? There was so much of this whole “we own you, we are your masters, obey us, you need punished” eye roll worthy repetitive junk throughout the book. I get the author is really shooting the whole “beast angle” but come on. After awhile they’re all “in love” and they’re still finding ways to punish her and she’s sometimes into it and you can tell she’s sometimes not, but then the author has to say she’s wet and moaning during their discipline, so again it makes it okay? Idk I just didn’t really get it, there was no sweet lovemaking side to these aliens/hybrids they claimed this love but there was no true passionate feel. When she was taken a second time she disobeyed trying to leave, the king sentenced her 30 whips or smacks (at this point I don’t even remember) then expected her to take part in the mating ritual. After being bruised up and beaten, her mates one of which felt like he “loved her” still expected her to “do her duty” after being beaten up. Not even understanding or passionate or trying to make her feel better. I’m okay with consensual bdsm when there’s an understanding or at-least some bit of passionate reciprocation. From what I understand, Bdsm is a trusting, mutually reciprocal action/attraction where there is pain and pleasure but where the dominant cares for and looks for when the limit is too reaching. That seems to be missing in a lot of these sci-fi alien “romances”. Idk not for me.


Spoilers: Then the whole book itself. I’m still trying to understand how the female character came up with the cure. That was so ill defined, and again who knows this could’ve been reader error, what made her special? What did her handler inject her with? I get it there was something about a serum to attract her and Erik to each other but was that it? The king was in on this DNA splicing but I don’t really understand what exactly was entailed in the experiment with both humans and aliens. The other human female scientist said she should’ve injected her with something upon arrival but felt deep down she shouldn’t. What was it? then the moment where the bad scientist was killed, the man responsible for all the heinous acts and experimentation was killed within like 2 anticlimactic sentences!!! I mean what the heck!?!? I just don’t get it. It was as if the author wrote this book, got a little sick and bored with writing it, so tried wrapping it up quickly, leaving a lot of unanswered questions and loose ends.

The reason I didn’t give this book the one star it deserved ,was because the idea of this book could’ve been great. It was interesting, and with the right follow through and editors (because there were a few sentence structural errors and spelling mistakes) it could’ve been a decent three to four star read.

What can I say? Loved the story and loved the characters. Now I really want more in this world. The world building is great and with the twists and turns, it will keep readers turning the pages to find out what happens!!!

This is erotic romance, that means it's shamelessly dirty. If this is not your cup of tea, be aware that this book is smutty, with lots of menage action (reverse harem with no m-m) which I greatly enjoyed, but I understand some people prefer sweeter romances. This is more for readers who enjoy hot sexy scenes, lots of them, group sex and even a little of corporal punishment like spanking and caning (nothing extreme, though), dominating alphas and submissive heroines.

That said, there is also a story in there, a story of a dystopian future with a hopelessly doomed Earth, mad scientists experimenting on humans and aliens alike in a different planet that's supposed to be the new Earth; the plot gets more and more complicated and the premise is interesting, but it was difficult for me to follow it (it maybe the heat, we're melting here in Spain).

So, if you are looking for some hot science fiction-y action, with rough, dominating alphas focusing on one (lucky) female, this is for you

Interesting sci-fi concept but definitely believable. Not really any romance but steamy scenes all the same. Actually would give it 3.5 overall.

I'm not sure why I kept reading this. Maybe, I was waiting for it to make sense? Weird and disjointed for the first half with a ton of flashbacks that really meant nothing and drug on. Super disciplinarian sex with severe spankings. Punishments for stupid and slight infractions then come to find out it was going to be a daily thing. Some with a cane. 30 lashes with some kind of strap. The animal/alien/hybrid human gang bang in the beginning really made no sense either. But I was hoping something was going to come together and make this whole book worthwhile. the end came slamming into my face and I was like..... Uhm what the hell just happened.... All that for this? So.... I wouldn't recommend this. Sorry. It was long and drawn out and time I'll never get back.

Wow wow wow ...OMG....with sci fi story is dark with deception, a little bit of action and suspense, and kept me enthralled with a race against the odds and with the steam factor that is so hot it can burn.
Dr Cassia Bloom is sent to New Earth to help in the development of some men who have been genetically engineered to make the new Earth suitable for human colonisation but something has gone wrong, the test subjects have gone rogue, almost predatory and Cassia is caught, and claimed...
This book has a few twists and turns in the plot that I wasn’t expecting, so much I had to read it in one sitting...loved it...a great top read.

The end is the beginning

Lies, manipulations, control, deceit, power trips, aliens, mystery, intruigue, misdirection, genetic engineering, lust, discipline, forced mating and maybe love. This story is a well written sci-fi tale that is complex, layered and keeps you turning the pages till you hit the end!
The heat between Cassie and her "men" is flammable, the customs of their unions are hands on, sexy, controlling and masterful.
With many elements of honesty and dishonesty in play, hidden alliances, humans, aliens and more become Involved in a fight for survival of the fittest! A fantastic read!

I have read all, if not all, of Ms. Stone's books and I must say that this is hands down my favorite. There is action, suspense, intrigue, dark romance that she is known for, and so much mystery amount all the twist and turns off this plot that at times I wondered if I was reading a sci-fi or a dark romance. She really went the extra mile to take what could have been a simple story and turn it into a great take about two species trying to survive and what they would to accomplish it.

DNF ... Look, I love erotic romance but this was just SO BLAND and confusingly vague. We're told that the heroine Cassia is sent to Earth ll with all these other scientists.... To do what exactly? We're told she's a psychologist (or something ) and all but we never get that sense or feel that. The team basically crash lands on the planet and most are killed and she meets the aliens. We learn the planet he's harsh changing weather but like nothing else is really described?? Theres a base there and aliens and that like all we get.

Now, I don't want to be harsh but Cassia was TSTL and annoyingly dense. She literally watches her friend / coworkers get ripped apart and murdered and when the monsters corner her she walks up to the leader and touches his face.... And then pounds on his back when he kidnaps her (what did you EXPECT he was going to do??!?). Next she's taken to this cave where she's fucked roughly and repeatedly by all the mutants / aliens, tries to escape, get spanked by the leader, is super turned on by that and gets group fucked again?

WHAT. EVEN. IS. THIS??

At no point does she express horror or discomfort etc. at being gang raped basically and if anything she's totally into it? (Except she ran... But that's ok because spankings turn her on). This character who's supposed to be a doctor/ scientist was literally DUMB AF. She had no thoughts other than how to please her new masters and how turned on she gets when they do XYZ. There's no hesitation or anything (maybe to make the lack of consent less "bad") but it just read really stilted and dead.

Lastly, the smut was NOT GREAT. I went into this expecting erotica.... But this was just SO bad and dull. It's literally the same descriptions over and over. The aliens/ mutants take her roughly, she's super wet, she sucks them off etc. it's so dull and lifeless and unsexy I honestly just stopped reading. Oh and then there's the male lead, who I guess we're supposed to root for because he was railroaded and basically forced into becoming a monster and he's "not like the savage rapist aliens" ..... EXCEPT HE IS?? he literally spends most of the book going "oh look she's getting fucked by that terrible brutish alien .... Let me get a shot at her, she's mine. BARF.

Genetic new breeds

They look like Viking's but they are soo much more than human. This story has everything from space travel, mad scientists, Wildlings, Aliens, and viruses and soldiers. To say it has lots of action packed adventure really is an understatement. The crash landing, to the kidnapping and seduction, then the rescue and arrival at the lab... thats all just the first couple chapters. I have to admit I could have envisioned various directions the story could have went and Been very great... the kidnapping and cave seduction was kinda hot... the way the story progresses is great with lots of mysterious things that keep popping up until the very end... I do wonder what was up at the end when the unknown DNA never got figured out...maybe another story sometime in the future. Great story.

DNF - I am about 60% of the way through this book and while the plot sounded really intriguing, when I had to put it down - there hasn't been enough of a pull for me to pick it back up and finish it. It started out good and the first sex scene was kinda hot but there are still things that haven't been explained and I personal feel would be important enough to know or understand that might encourage me to continue reading, but since I don't know yet - there are just other books I would rather be reading that I don't have to still be guess more than 50% of the way through the book. I can say that I might come back to this one but as of right now, I don't want to see it on my "see reading" queue.

Cassia willing came to another planet to start a new life only to find out things were not what she was told. The aliens, Galains are brutish, animal like people. Prisoners from Earth are brought over and are experimented on resulting in them having alien DNA combined with human. Eric and David are the hybrids. Cassia forms a union with Eric, David and Galvin Brixton as pee Galliano law. The four work together to eradicate a deadly virus and find out what the lead scientist was really doing.

Cassia learns the aliens enjoy BDSM giving her many hot scenes involving pain and pleasure with her men. Narrator Ken Solin voiced the story and characters well.

OMG I must say another absolutely amazing story from piper stone. Just wish there was a sequel so we could find out what she (Cassia) was referring too and find out what sex her baby is and what it is I truly hope it is Eric’s he lost so much and suffered for an injustice he never committed.I’m glad they found each other I wish they could have been together with just Eric and Cassia but I guess sharing is better then never being mated to her …. It’s a must read

my 1 reason for 4 stars

I don’t usually read sci-fi type books but this was great though I only give it 4 stars because even though it’s a reverse harem romance which I love the only thing I wish this book had was more POVs from the others not just the main female and one of the males. I would have loved to know what the others where thinking and doing here and there. Other than that loved and the book was great I’d still recommend if your into this type of romance.

Damn good story

Very interesting. I love how the story unfolded. It was quite intriguing being subjected to all the suspenseful twists and turns. The sexual scenes were hot as hell too. Keep up with your writing style you are extremely talented

Excellent read, all action….
This was a very well written plot the characters were simply splendid with a depth that af first is not apparent and the there was plenty of sexy and D/s interaction between Eric and the scientist Cassia who is so much more than anyone at first realises, in fact she may be the saviour of two civilisations Humans and the Galerian’s.
Piper stone is simply splendid at putting herself in off world situations and this is something that she simply excels at and once again she has done this so very well, the whole human and alien interaction.
The relationship between herself and Eric is something that is so much more than love they have a connection that is simply so much more than skin deep, they are linked in a more basic way almost in sync with each other they are able to read each other’s minds and her other two mates are also specially connected to her.
This is the start of a new society wit her and her mates that she has been able to rescue along with the planet of Galeria which is also under threat from the unknown virus that leads to madness and change in their physical abilities of the males, once started it is simply impossible to stop.
I voluntarily received and review an Advanced Reader Copy
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the great writing.

I actually enjoyed reading this rather unusual yet entertaining futuristic Sci-fi romance with some dark undertones. I found the plot very intriguing with some very unique & unexpected situations. The characters are complex individuals & some of them are at times quite brutal yet at other times rather loving & protective.
There is: a human scientist (Cassia Bloom) is sent to earth to help with the genetically engineered men only to be captured & claimed by three men (Erik, Brexin & David), experiments, devious scientists, aliens, humans, hybrids, twists & turns, intrigue, suspense, adventure, action, memories, mystery, secrets, torture, deceit, betrayal, manipulations, discipline, spankings, forced non-consensual scenes, matings, discovery, confrontations, conflict & strangely enough there is love, attractions, compromises, contentment, steamy scenes & a well-earned happy conclusion.

Sci-Fi action-suspense and a hot reverse harem romance!
I love her descriptions of the characters in this story, both the main and the secondary. Cassia, Erik, Brexin, and David form the mated group. They are well developed and completely believable within the context of the story. The story flows at a fast pace and is engaging. This is an action, suspense, sci-fi, very steamy romance. Erik and Cassia as the two who are the first of the four meet and develop a connection. But even at the very beginning you know that there are dangerous subplots lurking for these two in Piper’s storyline. Soon Brexin and David are added to create the foursome. But then tragedy strikes and the foursome must close around each other and protect and save one of the group. In between all this action and intrigue is a lot of spanking and domestic discipline! I recommend this book.

For me "Primitive" seemed like a bdsm/erotica cross between Island of Dr Moreau and Ghosts of Mars. I liked the writing but the sex to story ratio is off in my opinion. A lot of the sex scenes seem repeated then repeated again. I just wanted to be more invested with the characters initially. There were also some minor editing issues.

It fell a little short of my world building expectation as well. I would've liked the characters to explore this new planet a little before disaster struck or for the attack to be more of an initial focus because it made for an action packed first few chapters.

I ended up skimming thru some pages near the end. It was on par with some Kindle Unlimited books I've read and worth checking out if you like bdsm and sci fi. I did like the premise.

Piper Stone is an amazing writer I've enjoyed a few of her books and always look forward to the next I get to read. Three of my favorite genres in one book, dark, sci-fi and reverse harem.

A plot to remake Earth on a different planet in the image of a mad scientist, a power hunger Dr., an experiment that didn't quite go the way they thought. Trust and betrayal split.

The story was a bit all over the place for me too much going on, it wasn't what I'd define as dark, but off in the odd sense. The description of the "beasts'/males/aliens was pretty cool. All about Alpha's that was the part I liked (smiles) still not a lot of chemistry or the bamn! effect I was looking for. All in all a decent read a story worth reading. Enjoy

A great sci-fi read that is entertaining and keeps your attention. Cassie and her three mates are trying to save two civilizations before an unknown disease ravages the inhabitants, destroying their ability to reason and become violent. The book also describes the sexual encounters between Cassie and her men and they are very erotic and graphic. There is also one man who is determined to have complete power who is behind all of the secret experiments involving the DNA manipulation. There is a lot happening in this book and that is what makes it interesting. It is a great read and I would highly recommend it.
