Tribes #3
Lured
She's so beautiful when she's unaware that anyone is watching. Most prey are, but none provide admirable entertainment like this one.
Hart said womankind don’t leap. He said they’re awkwardly uncoordinated.
That's because he's never seen Eme dance. But he will as soon as I bring her in. All there’s left for me to do is find her nesting place, open a portal into Kalia, and let her walk through. This is gonna be so easy. ~ Mas
*** Instant attraction alien romance with an over 40 prima ballerina heroine and a predator who falls so hard so fast, he bleeds on the cursed sands of Blood Dunes. Welcome back to the tribe where women are goddesses.

2 - 2.5 stars!
This is more a 'it's me, not the book" rating. There isn't really anything wrong with this story but I just didn't connect to either character.

This is Mas’s book, and he found himself a goddess too. They got another one. Those goddess positions are filling up quick, we gotta hurry, and stake our positions🤣. I think I speak for all of us when I say that I want to land on this planet, and be a goddess too, am I right? And then we can all just sit around and admire their fitness🤣...still cracks me up.
Tatyana is a well known ballet dancer, and was supposed to be on Joylius, but landed on their planet in the Blood Dunes *shivers*. She had survived a month by herself, I know pretty impressive right, until Mas comes for her. I loved that she was older than him, confident and knew exactly what she wanted, no hesitation, just, I want him, and that’s it.
I devoured this book...see what I did there, but for real, I totally did. Fantastic storyline, I couldn’t put this book down. I loved all the goddesses back story in their world, it was so good. We get to see our favorites from previous books, and we get a look at the leader of the Om tribe, giant bird predators...I know, my excitement is so real. This may be one of my favorite Milana Jacks books, and that’s saying something. Cannot wait until the next one. Next book please...nowish.

“Three spans. Two nights. One hooker. Let the hooking begin.”
I actually laughed a lot in this book. It has the same charm and randomness of the first (and even though I liked its plot a lot less, the second) book. I think in general MJ has done a great job with these alien species. I love how chaotic they are. And I love the culture clash between them and the human women too. It’s just great fun.
“Nar leans in and knocks on my head. ‘Winded.’ he says.
‘Not at all. I’m deep.’ Eme said so.”

“Feelings. Do you understand them?”
“I have chest pains,” I admit.
Sometimes you need to step back from a series, then come back to it and you start enjoying it once more.
I read Captured, Nen's book before Lured, where I left off the series at. This book gets a higher rating because it serves as more of a connecting book/overall plot setup book for all the different tribes.
I loved Tatyana. She differs in that this really wasn't an Omega/Alpha book (no slick). I especially loved how she was just her, like Eme had to modify to fit in with Tatyana/she made up her own path instead of filling up what everyone expected of her goddess-hood.
Mas was such a cute, dumb, smart Alpha. Loved when he was fighting with his feelings and he had a heart to heart with Nar. It was funny aww.
So, loved this, will be reading more from the series.

This heroin or goddess got the right 40+ spirit and the right male as her personal hero - sure our world could use more of it!
I love the way Milana Jacks is sassy and witty in all ways there are to explore new path of other beings in the universe - a new world, new conditions and limitless possibilities to happen or single points of view to explaining behaviour or doing or even not.
Take it easy, let it flow and enjoy this wonderful story.

Eme, the goddess of blood and grace, also a over 40 prima-donna ballerina. Older woman/younger man, human/predator version? Yes, please. CW for past domestic abuse mentioned.
June 15, 2021
I usually deep dive into Jacks books. This was not the one. Never connected to the mains individually or as a couple. Was very flat but the overall story trucks along just fine. I'll call this a blip.

Goddess' Puppy
This is a gruesome story, but also a bit humorous too. A Goddess of Blood and grace go figure, she is the ultimate weapon if you have enemies visiting... I am not as excited to read the next in the series though... its not that I don't like the stories but I think it's a bit hmmm a bird alien... I enjoyed Mas and his Goddess. What exactly was the 100 women thing at the end? I think I would have preferred they just kept finding the pods...

This is a great addition to this series; I am sure you will enjoy as much as myself
This read was totally engaging from start to finish with Eme that is a ballet dancer who has found herself stranded on a strange planet where she has been doing her very best to survive by capturing as much food as she could to sustain her.
When Mas finds her, he is at once captivated by the female and the stories that he has heard are prominent in his mind, he plans on opening a portal and returning with her to his tribe where females are a priceless prize if the species are to survive.
When both Eme and Mas are attacked as he is trying to set up a portal so that they might pass through and return to Kalia however, he is badly injured by the Ra tribe as they try to obtain Eme.
However, his own tribe arrive and help to rescue both Eme and Mas but the risks that he has taken in going to the area she was found in will not be easily explained away.
Finding the unexpected female is a magnificent find to the Tribe, should she be mated and have a litter it would expand the tribe and any new life is beyond precious.
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 collected my thoughts again as I read so these might be spoilers:
She thinks he is confident and will handle things. Why would she need a man to handle things?
Why are female authors also playing into that stupid gender role that women want to be dominated by men all the time? This is some kind of mind manipulation to teach female readers that this is the only way what and how women should want their male partner to be. Ugh. It's so prehistoric and backwards.
I absolutely adored their conversation about the "he'll horse"
This is the funniest Story so far. Their belief they are goddesses is so hilarious
This time both MC are really awesome, I love that she is 40 and also acting like it. Want more of these characters (I wouldn't risk pregnancy with 40+, but they have all kinds of tech, so maybe they won't have miscarriages or gene defects)
I have to say, this being book 3 of possibly 6 is a great outlook if they get better every time

I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Tatyana, a 40 something ballerina has crash landed on an alien planet and survived for around a month before she is found by Mas. He has to get her out of the Blood Dunes before he can save her. Mas is much younger than Tatyana and she has decided he's a bit of alright. She wants him and that's that. He finds her mesmerizing but he's a bit of a character - funny, and typical of a younger man - cocky. Can they get what they each want and how will they over come the challenges that are placed in front of them.
Every book of Milana Jacks' that I've read have held me in a world of "I can't put this down -not even to go get food". She is one of the best storytellers I've come across and I grab her books every opportunity I get, knowing I'm in for a treat.This one doesn't disappoint.

Not a standalone
Mas believes he has found a "womankind". The problem is that she is in the Blood Dunes. It is a place where the godess Eme killed Hunter's and their blood soaked into the sand. The Hunters were unable to heal themselves at all and bled out. The Tribes believe that the godess still reigns there and everyone who enters the sand dies. Oh, and it is also in Ra territory.
Tatiana is human, she believes that she crashed on her destination planet not a totally different one. An alien finds her after she has been alone for around a month and he keeps calling her Eme.
She has bad taste in men and so just because she finds him attractive does not mean she should trust him.

⚔️ “She enjoys my fitness… My fitness likes her back.”

I love these Goddesses and predators!
Tatyana is a famous ballet dancer. After she crashed on Nomra Prime, she has survived alone for a month. I loved that she was a non-nonsense and confident woman, knew what she wanted and just went for it.
Mas is fun, smart and cocky. I think he is my favorite predator so far.
I loved the development of their relationship - their conversations were such fun to read and their chemistry - scorching hot. And I loved their age difference!
Overall, the story is another great addition to the series filled with action, steam, danger and humor.
I loved it!

Hooking The Winded ~ This is a voluntary Advanced Reader Copy of ‘Lured’. OMFG!! I love the Goddesses! I read this story in one sitting, so happy to continue this crazy, exciting, series where women are worshipped as the Goddess they truly are, even tho a bit scary, it all adds to the fun! I loved that this Goddess is older, fierce, and knows what she wants, and loves playing with the hook. I enjoyed Mas smacking himself upside his head, checking if it was filled with wind! That cracked me up. Loved, loved, loved this book! Bring on the rest of the series!!

Mas is hot!
All of the male character leads in this series are alphas, but Mas' cockiness just intrigued me from the start of the series. He's funny as well as hot, so the cockiness just works for him. He's my favorite H of this Series to date.
This is a fun, quick read and I recommend the series and author... But you MUST enjoy books with alpha H. The h lead in these books have Been no push overs, so don't worry about a beat down female lead, but the H of each book is an alpha male predator, so go in to this series knowing that and get ready to enjoy

Tatyana has landed on Nomra Prime. She believes that she is on the vacation planet Joylius and she is waiting to be rescued by the security employees. She hasn't seen anyone since she landed and is using her escape pod to move around. Mas is the portal genius for the Ka tribe and he finds Tatyana. His people believe in the goddesses and he believes that Tatyana is the goddess Eme. Eme is the goddess of blood and grace and is a bloodletter. Their adventure begins. I read an arc of this book and this is my review.

Well that ended quickly
I’m just reading along and all of the sudden BAM all done. It wasn’t a cliffhanger per se, but it wasn’t wrapped up and tied with a bow either. I liked this story better than I liked the last one I read in this series. Probably because I liked the hero much more than the other. I gave 3 stars because of the ending. I didn’t seek out book 3 in the series, so the fact that I read the synopsis and picked it is interesting. I’m going to do the same for the next book. If it ends up in my TBR by chance, then I’ll read it.

Thanks from us older women!
Per Milana: ... a pleasure to write a 40+ heroine and I think I might do one or two more in this series. There’s something about a heroine same age as I that clicks with me. Maybe it’s the sass. At 40+, I have less fucks to give than when I was twenty. I wonder if you feel the same way.
YES! Am very tired of young virgins and academy stories! Not sure where this series is going but happy to follow along!

I read this book as an ARC member.
This is the third installment of the Tribes series. Powerful and mind blowing. Mas the lead character is scary, charming and witty. Tatyana the female lead is Vulnerable and lonely. And not all she seems to be. He is whipped( figuratively not physically) and she is hell bent on leaving the idyllic beach she believes is her vacation destination.

This series is oh so good!
Mas is so sure of himself, until he neets her. Now he's got "wind" in his brain. aka-Hooker!
Tatyana's vacation has turned into a nightmare, she just wants to be rescued.
It seems the goddesses have other plans.
These stories are entertaining, steamy and funny. I hope Milana rides these characters and their world for quite a while! Please!!!

Great read
This series is great. It will make you laugh make you want to cry as well. Tatyana a 40ish something woman (I love that we can hang with the 20ish women by the way) meets Mas a 30ish something male/predator. It is funny when Mas meets her he don’t know if he should eat her or mate her.

I am loving where the story is headed towards. This book sheds light on some of the mysteries I thought were mere suggestions and the female humans are taking an even bigger role in the future of the Ka tribe than merely helping their continuity. A mature Heroine - thanks, Milana, we wanna feel represented! - and her younger lover add to the fun factor of this story.

If you get past the eat the human prey moments and some editing errors, the books in the series are not that bad.
And there were some really funny moments too. I laughed a few times 😂
I've read some weird stuff in my life so I wasn't affected by anything in the books. But if you are sensible to predators imagine eating humans, which they consider prey, this series is not for you.

Captivating and Wonderful
This book has everything I want in a romance? It fast paced and the romance is hot but not over the top with awesome characters? A true alien adventure story with strong alien males and very empowered women. You won't be disappointed in any way and so ready to read the next book in the series.

Love me some Eme
I loved that the womankind in this book was over 40. She knew who she was and what she wanted with out the drama that younger women bring to the table. Mas is a great predator to read about. I love reading both sides of the story, to me it is more complete.

Milana continues to deliver solid story lines, blazing sex and tongue in cheek humour. I also related to this 40+ heroine getting her groove back!😁 Can't wait for the next installment.

Umm
Not sure how I feel about this book. The male lead is a jerk acting like a twenty-year-old. Out female has the bloodletting God deep within. Oh, and she is a prima ballerina in her forties. All the women get powers that tie seamlessly with the local mythology.
