What happens when a tough, Drexian captain gets trapped on an alien planet with the human tribute bride he’s supposed to rescue? Without his clothes.
Brok has vowed to track down the pretty human who was snatched by space pirates and return her to be matched with a Drexian warrior. One who isn’t battle-scarred and damaged, like him.
The snag: He’s thought about nothing but the dark-haired beauty for weeks. Now he's stuck on a hedonistic, alien planet with her where the clothing is scant and the inhibitions are low. If he gets her out, can he really let her go?

About the author
Tana Stone
102 books828 followersI love sexy aliens and independent heroines. I grew up on Star Trek: Next Generation and Star Wars (and I adore them equally). My favorite superhero is Thor (with Aquaman a close second because, well, Jason Momoa), my favorite dessert is key lime pie (okay, fine, all pie), and I still lament the loss of Firefly.
I live in North Carolina in the US and have one husband, two teenagers, and two neurotic cats. I sometimes wish I could teleport to a holographic space station like the one in my tribute brides series (or maybe vacation at the oasis with the sand planet barbarians). :-) When I'm not writing, I love to paddleboard, dive, travel, and read obsessively!

Another winner in the Tribute Brides series for Tana Stone. Full of action and adventure, I loved Maddi and Brok together.

This is the last book in the Tribute Brides of the Drexian Warriors series. I just finished a series! I'm going to miss Reina and Serge, so I might reread Book 1 some day.
Captain Brok of the Inferno Force journeys to the planet of the mysterious, pleasure-seeking xenophobic Spartosians to rescue a tribute bride named Madeleine and Serge, the Gatazoid wedding planner.
I liked the adventure, how it wasn't so easy to escape the planet, and that invisibility device was so cool! I might need one of those for myself.

Madeleine was kidnapped by Drexian enemies and taken to Spartos, a planet where no one knew anything about the race other than they were a hedonistic people. Madeleine is a tribute bride and both her and Serge the Gatazoid, were sold to the Spartosians.
Captain Brok has been charged to rescue the two of them and return them to the boat. From the moment Brok lands on Spartos the action and the fun begins. From Brok walking the streets in just his underwear and mermen chasing after them, to Madeleine seducing him. Until they all finally make it back to the spaceship and return to the boat.

Sooooo Damn Delicious and a true delight for your emotions💖💖💖
Favorite quote " I'm not a clutch purse" omg I'm still laughing! Serge is one of the best secondary characters in any series that I've read. No matter that danger in a scene or if it's the hottest most passionate moment this will make you laugh out loud every time.He is just so much fun to read about and so well developed he is an old friend you can wait to see when you read a new Drexian warrior book! This turned out to be one of my favorite books in the series this far. Brok is the dream alien I've always wanted a bit of a badass warrior with the heart and soul of an honorable man. Yup pretty perfect and for most of the book he's running around in his boxers briefs. Yes, ladies the book goes have gifted us with delicious male warrior mostly naked while carrying out a rescued mission! Not telling you more you will definitely have to read to find out what going on😉😍 Maddie is an awesome ,fierce, passionate independent Earth woman whose known serious loss and tragedy in her life but refuses to be overcome by it but faces it head on! A perfect match for someone on the elite Inferno Force! Kidnapped and sold to a planet who doesn't like outsiders for purposes that no one can figure out she wants out and will do what ever she can to make sure she and Serge are rescued. When captain Brok finds Maddie he knows he's never wanted to rescue Me protect a woman more than he does her. She doesn't follow orders and is too independent by far but her wouldn't want her any other way he love the way she drives him crazy. This was a fantastic installment to this series danger, passion, laughter and last but never least love! Highly recommend💖💖💖💖 can't wait for the next one I'm hoping it's another member of the Inferno force😍😍

Maddie has always avoided commitment because she also doesn’t trust. She takes care of herself and doesn’t seek help from anyone. But when she is abducted by aliens, and then abducted by Ganthar space pirates, she is out of her comfort zone and needs to be rescued.
The elite Inferno Force crew, warriors of the Drexian empire, have been searching for abducted humans and they are bored and restless. Actually, they were chasing after one final specific tribute bride, Madeleine, and one Gatazoid wedding planner, Serge. The warriors were eager to fight, but frustrated at the lack of an enemy target! And ever since the Captain had seen her picture, he could not get her off his mind. Because he had been disfigured in battle, he resigned himself not to take a tribute bride. It wouldn’t be right. But he saw strength in her.
High Commander Dorn contacted Brok, his old friend, and stressed that they should be sure to rescue Serge because he had planned Dorn’s wedding and his wife insisted he be rescued. As for Madeleine, she had not been matched yet because when the records were damaged by the Kronock, his wife insisted matching that way was a stupid way to get mates. So she is unclaimed. The only bad news was that the Spartosian people were very hedonistic, pleasure-oriented, and Brok was concerned about why they would want Madeleine, a human. Then Kax, their intelligence officer, spoke with him. Only one Drexian should go down to the planet by shuttle while the ship is hidden in orbit.
When the scarred Inferno Force Captain Brok shows up to get her off Spartos, where everyone is way too touchy-feely for Madeleine’s liking, she notices how bossy the Captain is -- and that he is wearing very little clothing! Can she keep her mind off the half-naked alien long enough to figure out what's going on here before it's too late? Brok and Madeleine do have wonderful chemistry, but they each have issues they need to resolve with Madeleine’s "no commitment" policy and Brok’s insecurities about his scars! With enough time together, can they work those tiny issues out?

Warrior alpha aliens whose lives are spent keeping the peace but for some it is in the front lines fighting an enemy who destroys worlds. Earth doesn’t know aliens exist except for the government. A deal was made, and women are given in exchange for protection.
This fun tale sees women and warriors come together on a space station that is supposed to be a fantasy place. Except it may be stuck in a time that was relevant years ago. It takes its name from the TV series The Love Boat. There is much laughter and action to keep you occupied whilst enjoying this read.
Journey along as they learn to navigate forging ahead to a union together and fighting the bad guys. I look forward to reading the rest of this sci fi romance series.

4 1/2 stars! Original and creative characters
This PNR involves Drexian warriors, specifically the captain of an Inferno Space Force spaceship, Brok, and a kidnapped human Tribute bride, Maddie.
It contains elements that may be a trigger or offensive to some including adult language, adult intimate scenes and violence such as kidnapping, assault, etc.
This the 10th story in the series. There are reoccurring characters and an overall storyline arc, so I highly recommend they be read in series order for maximum reader satisfaction and to prevent spoilers.

Captain Brok and his crew were itching to get into battle they were bored because they were searching for a human female a tribute bride and a Gatazoid wedding planner, they were so bored that the men on his ship started having sparring matches and quite a few of them sported black eyes. Brok couldn’t get the human female Madeline out of his mind ever since he saw an image of her Brok hasn’t been able to concentrate on anything but Brok knew that this tribute bride could never be his she was a distraction and who could love him with all of his scars. That’s all I’m going to give you guys but there is so much more going on in this story I loved it it’s a fantastic read and I highly recommend this book it’s definitely well worth the read.

This talented author has once again written a fascinating & very entertaining Sci-Fi alien romance that definitely caught my attention within the first few pages. It has an outstanding, well-paced plot filled with suspense, good scene descriptions & world building. In particular I really liked the way the romance developed between the two main characters (Maddie & Brok) & found “Serge’s” reactions to the situation quite hilarious.
There is: a female tribute bride (Madeleine aka Maddie) & a Gatziod alien wedding planner (Serge) is kidnapped & sold to a hedonistic planet (Spartos) but a battle-scarred captain (Brok) of the elite “inferno Forces” is determined to get them back not realizing that Madeleine has plans of her own in store for him, twists & turns, intrigue, suspense, Drexian alien warrior, tribute brides, Ganthar space pirates, humans, mermen/monsters, friendship, abduction, danger, threats, action, adventure, twists & turns, intrigue, suspense, humor, mystery, discovery, devious plans, determination, attractions, decisions, contentment, steamy scenes & a delightfully, happy conclusion. I absolutely enjoyed reading this Sci-Fi alien romance & really would recommend it.

Wowza
Maddie and Broc really went through a lot of twists and turns on the planet Spartos. I have really enjoyed this series and have become a great fan of Tanya Stone. Keep up the tribute brides and the sand barbarians I really like both series and will recommend them to all those who like sci-fi romance

August 3, 2020SCARRED was a fun book to write! Even though it's the 10th book in the Tribute Brides of the Drexian Warriors series, it's always fun to revisit these warriors (and, of course, Serge)!
I liked exploring a new alien planet and introducing some new Inferno Force warriors I'm hoping to feature in a spin-off series!

Different...in a really good way.
This story of Drexian captain Brok and Tribute Bride Madelein starts off with a few similar scenes to earlier episodes, but it turns into something really unique. Tana Stone has quite the imagination for weaving alien romances with singular sci-fi strangeness that is really absorbing and exciting. Love it!

Tribute brides
Amazing stories, characters,and premise. I have enjoyed everyone of the tribute brides books. This one though breaks the mold and gives the characters a little more control. As my favorite Gatzoid has an adventure with the newest tribute bride. Characters are likable and the villains villonary( made up word). So grab this sci-fi book and enjoy Tana Stones latest

This is book six in Tana Stones series of the Tribute Brides of the Drexian Warriors. I found this book to be amazing the story and word usage were off the charts and well done, making me feel like I was watching a move with it all unfolding before me. It's Captain Brok and the tribute bride Madeleine's story with Serge the boats wedding planner along also. It's a hot sizzling sci fi that I highly recommend with plenty of hot chemistry that sizzles, action, adventure, drama, mystery, suspense, hot alpha alien male with steamy love story that I just couldn't put down staying up all night reading so I could see what happened next. Brok and Madeleine had a great chemistry together and I highly recommend their story.

I've been loving this series of the Drexian Warriors and this was another well written story about Captain Brok of Inferno Force battleship who is searching for Serge and Madeline who were taken by Ganthar pirates. Since Brok first saw Madeline's picture, he's been fascinated by her, but because of his battle scars he dismiss himself from taking a tribute bride. His information leads him to the planet Spartos, a planet known for being hedonistic and paranoid of other alien species. Brok goes on a solo mission to rescue them. Does he? The chemistry between Madeline and Brok was steamy, Serge brought the touches of humor and the action and mystery of what is truly going on on Spartos made this very enjoyable to read and review via booksprout.

The tenth book in the Tribute Brides of the Drexian Warriors series, a well written story that I was not putting down until I had finished it. Brok is a Drexian captain of a spaceship sent to find Maddie and wedding planner, Serge who are on the secretive plant for the Spartosians, and their secret WOW. What Maddie does to them I did not expect. I enjoyed seeing this story come together. I wonder what is next in this series?

I have a new favorite book in this series! Loved the story and the characters. Madeleine was a strong woman who did not take guff from anyone which made her a perfect match for the alpha male captain of the Inferno Force, Brok. When she racked the Spartosian Prince in the pool I laughed so hard I cried. Must read!

Fantabulous
This is the newest book in the Drexian series. Brok and his Inferno Force team are searching for Serge and a missing tribute bride named Madeline.
What he ultimately discovers is quite fantabulous. But the journey through the story will keep the reader turning the pages faster and faster to find out what happens next.

The book was exciting. Loved how the chemistry sizzled between them. She was meant for another, but when you end up together somewhere something bound to happen. Well it does in these books and they are certainly fun to read. This book was great I thought. Sad when it ended. Looking forward to the next one

Another Drexian bride mated, to a mate of her choice, and one that is perfect for her.
These Inferno Force warriors are badasses and, if they are real, I would want to meet one. And Maddie, she’s one tough cookie and she fits right in with the Inferno Force.
This is one roller coaster ride.

July 22, 2020Anyone impatiently waiting on the next story to read, to know what happens next, this was a treat. Captain Brok of Inferno Force has been tasked with the recovery of the Tribute Bride Madeleine and the Boats wedding planner Serge. The two of them had been kidnapped from the Drexians by space pirates and sold to the Spartos. Brok fights his way to rescue Madeleine and Serge. The twists and turns of what it took to get them back and safe was so entertaining. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I have read all the books in this series. I know that this is the 10 and last but that just has Tana Stone to start another great series. This storyline was just as good as the rest. I've never been disappointed in any of the books. They have adventure, action, drama, suspense, mystery and steamy love. Brok and Madeleine have a great chemistry but first they have to get over the "no commitment" problem from Madeleine and a scarred inferno Force Captain. Highly recommend.

I enjoyed reading this book, it has a good storyline. This book is entertaining, filled with action, adventure, and intrigue. The chemistry and interaction between the characters of Madeline (Maddie) and Brok is great. I can't wait for more from this author. I received this book as a FREE ARC copy to read and I voluntarily leave this review.

she is a adrenaline junky from earth taken as a tribute bride for the Drexians and he is the Captain for the Inferno Force with a scarred face who feels he is unworthy of a bride because of his scar and his position. She and the Gatazoid wedding planner have been stolen from the Boat and traded to the strange planet that no one knows much about except that they are very dedicated to their pleasures, and it is up to the Captain the the Inferno Force to save them.
This was a great read filled with action, emotion and plenty of steam!

This is one fantastic SciFi. If you like that genre at all, and perhaps also romances / love stories, I am pretty sure you will like this one. The storyline is so to the point somehow, and the characters, just WOW. My question is as very often, is how the author has the imagination to create what is in the story and the characters - such fabulous imagination. Of course I can only say my opinion here, and that is that I clearly loved this story so fabulous five stars is the least I can give.
