Submission

by Kallista Dane

My mission failed. I ended up on the wrong world. So how can being in the arms of this alien warrior feel so right? Scientist Lexi Sims worked hard to make the team for a mission to Neodyma. When a glitch in the Star Portal dumps her in Iridia instead, she’s horrified. War destroyed the planet’s surface centuries ago, leaving it barren and lifeless. To her surprise, she’s rescued by Ayron, a primitive warrior. His ancestors took refuge in a maze of underground caves. They banded together in a Tryb, with rules to ensure their survival. Rules Lexi must obey – or she’ll be punished. Still grieving the loss of his family, Ayron wants nothing to do with the willful human. But the other males in his Tryb are battling over her. To settle the conflict, the elders send her into the wilderness to be claimed by the hunter fast enough and cunning enough to track her down. When Ayron steps in to save Lexi from the cruel Tryb member who found her, he’s required to take her as his mate. Though he can be arrogant and stern, Lexi is drawn to the wounded warrior. Under his gruff façade and firm discipline is a passionate lover who introduces her to pleasures she’s never known before. But the wild and thrilling nights are followed by days with a cold distant stranger crippled by his loss. He gives her pleasure she’s never felt before. But will he ever give her his heart?

Kallista Dane writes a mean story. They draw the reader in and introduce them to the characters and the world she has created. So when I pick up one of her books I know I'm going to be introduced to a whole new gamut of friends and join them for their adventures - all the while experiencing their joys and miseries.
This is the case with Lexi. She falls through a portal. And everyone who reads paranormal knows that when a human falls through a portal there is going to be high adventure and even higher and hotter sex. Ayron is a primitive who has grieved for two years. He has locked his heart, but can Lexi break the seals and will he ever see her as someone he can build a special life with?

A simply wonderful read, great characters and wonderfully entertaining scenario
This is a wonderfully entertaining read and I guarantee that once you pick up this book and start reading you will not be able to put it down till you reach the final page, the characters are so wonderfully written that once you begin reading you will actually feel as though you know the characters almost fully yourself.
Lexi Sims had been working hand and unfortunately through no actual fault of her own had it seems that whilst she was searching, she rescued an Ayron warrior who is nothing more than a primitive, his ancestors know the land and the caves and have banded together as this is the only way they can survive.
Ayron has been living and grieving for the past two years and does not want anything to do with the female however, when Lexi is drawn to the wounded warrior and the wild and thrilling nights that follow by days with a cold distant stranger who is still crippled by loss.
He gives her pleasure she’s never felt before. But will he ever give her his heart? She is prepared to wait because she knows that a love such as theirs is not something that is easily found, it is a very special and extremely benevolent thing they share between them.
I assure you that you will love every moment of this book it is simply a fantastic read.

In dystopian future, Earth scientists discovered Portals to other dimensions and these portals will take scientists to these other worlds to interact with their leaders for trade...Lexi was trained for such a mission, supposed to be going to the planet Neodyma, but through a glitch in the system, was sent to the war-destroyed planet of Iridia...luckily she was wearing a body suit which didn't allow the radiation through as well as a space suit...but landed hitting her head on rocks...Iridian hunter Ayron was the best in his clan, felling an eight-legged beast, similar to an earth elephant which would feed their people for the near future...and discovered the Lexi in the rocks, taking her back to their cavern dwellings...knowing the other hunters would battle each other for the female but will their vastly different cultures allow them to discover how similar they can be...I read this book through an Advanced Reader Copy.

This is the second book in the Warrior of the Seven Stars series. Things have changed on Earth since AJ went to Neodyma in the first book, Savage. Young people are rebelling against the taboo of physically touching, kissing and more. Alex is curious, but she is getting ready for her mission to go back to Neodyma. But, there is a glitch as she goes through the portal and she is sent to Iridia. Iridia is a harsh planet that is recovering from the wars that almost destroyed. The people have found ways to live on the planet and thrive. Alex is found by warriors of a tribe and taken. She is given to the warrior that can claim her. There is a HEA.

This is a wonderful story with an interesting premise. I enjoyed the story and I especially liked the interaction between Ayron and Alex as they get to know one another. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.

I received an advance copy of this book via Booksprout and this is my honest review.

Gotta admit, I wasn't sure I was going to like this one, but boy was I wrong. Not only is the world building of Iridia some of the hardheaded environment to survive and thrive, but the detail that's involved was awesome and totally enhanced the overall reading experience. Levi's transported through a portal by mistake to Iridia, A planet that they think is dead, so how's she supposed to survive till they come rescue her? Aaron comes to her rescue, albeit reluctantly, because he feels drawn to her. This is a hot and steamy romance with it's ups and downs, set on Iridia, so it's ful of inherent danger too. It's a fast paced entertaining read.

Lexi is part of a mission being sent from Earth to another planet via a star portal when a glitch sends her to the wrong planet. Supposedly there is no life on the barren, desert planet yet life has found a way and Lexi is captured by a primitive warrior, Ayron (H). She is to be the prize for whichever warrior from the Tryb captures her as part of a hunt to prove their worthiness. Ayron save Lexi from a more vicious warrior and then the two are alone where he’s more then willing to teach her with a firm hand how she should behave. There’s plenty of high heat, ultra-steamy action, and spankings as Lexi and Ayron search for their HEA.

[GMW · Rating 4 out of 5]

On Earth in the future – things have really changed for humankind. Babies are created in a laboratory, and there’s very little contact of any kind. Lexi is a scientist who has volunteered for a mission off planet to Neodyma. Something goes wrong during the transport process and she lands on Iridia instead. She is injured, having hit her head on rocks. She is spotted by Ayron while he is out hunting, captured & taken back to his village. Life is very different on Neodyma ,and Lexi is just hoping to survive until she can be rescued. A very interesting storyline – with the spankings & steamy scenes we’ve come to expect in Kallista’s books.

Through an anomaly in a portal from Earth to Neodyma, Lexi is accidentally stranded on Iridia ……an ISOLATED, DESOLATE, WASTELAND…totally bombarded by radiation from its two suns!! HANG ON TIGHT… SPARKS start Flying when Lexi is Rescued by Ayron, and is launched into a whole new reality! I couldn’t put this book down till the very last word! Loved this futuristic sizzling love story!
I received an ARC and this is my honest opinion!

I loved the whole concept for this error-in-space-portal-travel story. The descriptions of the different worlds and cultural evolutions was amazing. Lexi and Ayron each from different worlds certainly had many clashes and revelations about each other. Comparing sterile orderly and virtually asexual earth to a world where people have adapted and embraced their senses while actively participating in a life full of contact with others was enlightening. A lovely message of family and togetherness provided me with a heartfelt HEA.

I enjoyed this book. I liked it even more than the first one in the series . I loved the banter between the main characters, the hard way they fell for each other and the steamy scenes the accompaned that. Sci-fi romance is not for everyone. However, if you are curious about this genre, this series( this book specifically) is a good place to start. Recommended.

A New Planet, A Old Way Of Living

Lexi was supposed to go through the portal to Neodyma, but a glitch in the star portal sends her to the barren wasteland of Iridia instead. When she’s found by the hunter Aaron, her life is turned upside down. I loved the descriptions of life on Iridia, vivid yet stark, complex yet harsh. This series introduces amazing planets and fantastic worlds. I’m loving this series, especially this story.

[Leanne Bryson · Rating 3 out of 5]

I never really connected with either the H or h in this book. I generally enjoy dystopian tropes, but this one was just ok. Yes, there was sizzle, steam, a lot of spankings, action, and more. Although part of the Warriors of the Seven Stars series, these can be read as stand-alone books, but are available on Kindle Unlimited.

Lexi comes from a technologically advanced world where society has moved beyond all that icky male-female stuff. Then she is accidently marooned on a primitive planet where men and women have old-fashioned ideas about sex, love and the occasional spanking. Naturally, she is shocked and appalled - and fascinated and excited. It's hardly a new trope but it is well executed here.

Lexi, a scientist, is accidentally send through a portal to the planet Iridia which is barren and desolate. Ayron is a warrior on Iridia who happens to find Lexi and takes her to the underground city where his tribe lives. She must adjust to their way to survive. I love their journey together to work through the dangers, hardships, passion and pleasures. I enjoyed this story and the HEA.

[Jackie Moore · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a fairly sweet romance in my opinion. Yeah they start off as almost enemies to becoming lovers but the Hero in this book wasn't bad at all and he was very observant. I loved how these 2 came together and also how things developed along when they are basically forced to be together. I liked how sweet yet steamy this book was. It was a great read.

[Karen Richardson · Rating 5 out of 5]

What would happen if you went from a world of order to a world of chaos. This story gives you hope as you follow the building of the relationship between Lexi and Ayron in a world where nothing is familiar to Lexi including a simple touch. I loved this book and cannot wait for the next in the series to come out.

[Trixie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved Lexi's story and the found she found in Aryon's arms. There are moments here, especially in the end where I want to smack him in the end. He can be dense at times. Even so, he was the best man for our Lexi.

I enjoyed the story but the ending seem abrupt.

This is the second book of the Warriors of the Seven Stars series. It cam be read as a standalone as it follows a different couple but is builds on the world building. This is Lexi and Ayron's story. I really liked their interactions as the grew more connected. There is of course steam and chemistry between them

[Sassy Angel · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this latest story by Kallista Dane. I am really enjoying this new series by her. I couldn't wait to see what happened next between Lexi and Ayron. I loved their interactions. They didn't have the best meeting but it isn't long before things change for them.

This was a sweet book of being given a second chance. I. I definitely felt my heartbreak for our hero but I was really happy with the way it played out and that he got another chance at love and family and all that kind of stuff. I. I enjoy this world so far and I look forward to the next books.

★ “Remember your duty to the Federation.” ★

—>>> The second installment of this series features another couple who meet due to portal disfunction which lands Lexi on the planet of Iridia, a barren, desolate world. I appreciated Lexi’s practical and resourceful spirit, Mother Eva’s good intentions for Ayron, and the cultural background of their Tryb’s origins. Another sweet and sexy read!

A good read…
Scientist Lexi Sims’ highly anticipated mission through the portal took an unexpected turn. Without Warrior Ayron and his Tryb she probably won’t survive, but can she adapt to their ways…. I received a free copy of this book. This review was posted voluntarily.

[Cynkris · Rating 3 out of 5]

Unfortunately, to me anyway, the spankings bordered on abuse. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against spankings but this just felt over the top. I skimmed big sections of the book and almost didn't finish it. So 3 stars for me. It isn't a bad book, the writing is well done, it just wasn't for me

[Sherry Westendorf · Rating 5 out of 5]

Exciting, surprising, emotional and much more. You have a sexy, dominant male who ends up with the bold female scientist who ends up on his planet because of a glitch. It is so much fun reading this story. I recommend it. I was given a review copy and voluntarily review it.

Something that is different to read. Exciting, interesting, with characters that are so perfect for each other. Two worlds collide, two personalities clash, until those two individuals come together to make one.
