Forbidden

Alien Warriors of New Dilaria #4

by Piper Fox

The only thing this planet is missing is some basil and oregano.

Insomnia seems to be a side effect of being abducted and stuck in stasis for years. The nightmares certainly are. Either way, I can’t sleep. Instead, I’m searching for new ingredients and spices to try and elevate some of the Dilarian dishes in the middle of the night, on a strange alien planet, surrounded by giant teal warriors.

When he finds me and drags me back to the ship like the barbarian he is, I’m ready to read him the riot act about consent. Until we’re attacked.

In the middle of escaping the weird spider-rodents that fell from the trees, we end up marked and tied together.

He wants nothing to do with me. Never mind the marks are driving us together, driving us crazy with primal urges. He’s determined to find me a new mate. Someone else to mark me. Rejected but unable to stay away from him, we keep clashing together like a storm.

He doesn’t want me to know his secrets. He’s forbidden me from telling anyone we’re marked. He can’t be with me. Won’t be with me. It doesn’t matter that the heat is eating me up alive or that the bonding can’t be completed without him. He won’t relent.

Instead, he’s determined to find a way to release me from him once and for all, even if it means he’ll lose his life in the process.

This is the first book of four for Cecelia and her mates. This a why choose romance where the main character will have multiple love interests and she won't have to choose.

A beautifully written book with an interesting story line. The characters are strong, and the story flows quickly and smoothly. I enjoyed reading this story.

I really liked these stories about the Dilarians, I've read several, until she threw in a cliffhanger.

Cecelia the chef was abducted by the Chaltor, one of eightyseven women left in suspended animation on the ship when it was taken by a group of Dilarians. Now they have been taken to a new Dilarian colony, and all of them have been woken. Cecelia has a friend among the Dilarians who guard the women in this untamed planet, he wants her to like him so they can mate, so he's taking it slow so as not to frighten her. But on a nightly walk in the woods another Dilarian saves her from an animal attack, and they find that they now have mating marks, when she visits a greenhouse in the farming area, another Dilarian saves her from falling, and she is marked again, two mates. Within a day the guard who wants her approaches at the same time several aliens from yet a different planet are present, and she agrees to touch her friend. Yup, marked again, now she has three mates, and one of the new aliens is watching her, her first mate is a half breed Dilarian who tells her he can feel a fourth mate waiting to join their family. There's no happy ending cause the new alien goes nuts, and there you are left at the cliffhanger. I hate cliffhangers.

Fate gives her mates
The Dilarians rescued stasis pods from the Chaltor. After the human women wake and come to terms with their situation, some are finding they have mates. This is (part 1) Cecelia's story...
Cecelia was a chef. She is trying to find ingredients to make the food more appealing. When she goes for a late night walk, and walks straight into danger, Gallen saves her. They are marked. He wants her but doesn't want to have a mate. Ky'nac was captivated even before she woke. He has been going slow so they know each other, but knows they are mates. Acezar helps her find herbs for her cooking and they end up marked. Then a party of Thaint show up and Vize knows she is his. He wants her for himself and is willing to do whatever is necessary to have her. When all of them are trapped and in danger, what will be next? To be continued...( I HATE that but will get the rest of the story)

Wow wow wow wow
Having woken up on an alien ship Cecelia has gotten used to life on this new planet and to find out that she may be mated to some of these Dilarians warriors was not as scary as she first thought. But how would she cope with four??

This is one exciting read I couldn’t put the book down. The chemistry and passion wooohoooo it’s hot hot hot!!!!!!! and I am so gutted with the cliff hanger. But it has worked its magic because I cannot wait for the second book. There is just Something so magical about being fated to finding the perfect match for you, and will always be put first. Just a really really good read. I hope we don’t have long to wait for the second book.

Quite the start to this series! Thoroughly enjoyed Cecelia's story of meeting her mates, though not as smoothly as one would hope. Acezar is the more laid back of the four, then Gallen who has issues with his birth and very broody, Ky'nac who wanted to be friends first but paid the price of being third, then the surprise Vize who is one of the other alien types - a Thaint, on the planet! I just hope we don't have to wait too long to find out more. I have to admit I hate series, given the wait we readers have before our need to know more eventuates. :) But in saying, I did enjoy this and now need more.

[Kristine L. · Rating 5 out of 5]

It looks like Cecelia will have 4 mates instead of 3. Gallen, Ky'nac and Acezar are Dilarians but the fourth mate is a Thaint named Vize. So very good and we just get into the mating of Cecelia, Gallen, Ky'nac and Acezar when Gallen tries to give her to the 4th mate Vize. But they end up all together on the ship that took Cecelia away from the Dilarrian camp and then the ground gives way and the ship falls. Who is going to survive? Will Gallen let Vize get rid of the mating marks on Cecelia? It ends on a cliffhanger. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I loved this story, but it left me hanging at the end so I have to get the next part of the book to find out what happened. I got wound up into this story and learning about the different types of aliens and the world building. That part was very nice and pretty well written. I did not know that it was a serial story until I got to the end and fell off a cliff. I am not happy about it being a serial at all. The characters are well defined, each with their own unique personality and responsibilities. Cecelia is a human woman who is hoping to have several mates like some of the other human women who had been abducted from earth. Lots of twists and turns in the story.

[Hazel · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love the Dilarian warriors!
just love this series as these warriors are so sexy. Gallen's biggest shame is he is only half Dilarian. It is a secret none other know until mate-markings start to form after he accidentally touches Cecelia and Acezar's continues the design, followed by
Ky’nac's on her hand. With mates of her own things get very steamy, very quickly but she also feels drawn to the Thaint Vize and he is certain she is his mate!! Betrayal follows.

I really liked this first installment of Cecilia's story and how twisted everything became as her story unfolded. I loved meeting all her different men and how difficult it would be for them to not only share but also learn to navigate some, um, cultural...species? differences. Wow! Have to say I was not expecting so much that happened in this story and I am dying to know how things will continue ;) Expect action, adventure, danger and steam to draw you in to this book and have you gasping when you hit the ending, too. Good fun!

Wow, grab a drink and settle in for a hot and spicy story. Cecelia loves to cook, but on this new planet she does not have the herbs and spices she is use to on earth, but more she would like to have someone to help take off the loneliness. Cecelia's tale of love leads her not to one, but four mates, all different and all with their own secrets.

This fast read is a wonderful journey as these work out the the bumps in the road and will leave you wanting more.

Cecelia was a chef so she is trying to make the best of her situation. Cecelia went out to look for something like herbs to give the food flavor when little creatures fall down from the trees and spit weds out of there mouths to capture there pray. Gallen ends up saving her but also marking her at the same time. Acezar is a gardener and Ky'nac makes weapon but also has a crush on Cecelia. Vize is Thaint the neighbor to the Dilaria. I enjoyed reading this book. I loved the storyline and plot. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and I am voluntarily leaving a review.

It looks like having more than one mate for Dilarians has continued on and it is not without difficulty. The same as the first, the Dilarians can't accept that the four of them are mated to her. How would they resolved it? to be continued on to the next story... This is a cliffhanger but I liked the story I am willing to wait for the next.

Gathering Her Mates . . .

This is Cecelia’s story of building up her reverse harem Dilarian warrior mates with the added tension when her guys don’t want to share. Her guys are Acezar, Gallen, Ky'nac – and the most surprising was from one of the other alien species, Vize, who is not a Dilarian but a Thaint! Things will quickly heat up and the interactions among all of them is fun to watch! Grab your copy and see whether Cecelia can keep her rowdy guys happy!

[Juanita E. Arp · Rating 5 out of 5]

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.

[Athena Diven · Rating 4 out of 5]

Gallen seems so angry and grumpy all the time. Cecelia doesn't think he even likes her, until he touches her and their mating marks show up. Since then she is trying to figure out why Gallen keeps pushing her away. He is keeping secrets. Loved it. Can't wait to see what happens next.

A group of human women were kidnapped and altered by aliens. Now they are finding themselves to be matches for a group of warrior aliens building a settlement. The Dilarians find out if they are mates by touch, and so far one of Cecilia’s friends has three mates. When Cecilia finds her mates things get a bit complicated.

Hmmm

Well, I was enjoying it quite a bit, til it stopped halfway through the story. Evidently its been broken up into a serial. Which would be fine if it had better character development and I needed to find out what happens. I don't.

Good quick read.

Cliffhanger.

The main thing I avoid when picking a new book is cliffhangers. I should've paid closer attention.
The story could've waited to be complete before publishing.
