The twin Dothvek warriors are searching for mates. Catarina is looking for a way off their planet. Teaming up is about to take on a whole new meaning!
Cat's journey aboard the luxury space cruiser isn't going well, but things go from bad to worse when she's forced to abandon ship. When her escape pod crashes onto a desert planet, she hopes for a rescue. She doesn't expect it to be in the impressive form of two gold-skinned aliens.
Dev and Trek are ready to find mates and join their Dothvek brothers on the bounty hunter ship. They aren't expecting to find a human stranded on the sand dunes. When her pod is lost and the dangers of the desert threaten them all, the twins pledge to keep her safe. But can they quell their burning desire for the female who is able to sense their thoughts? Or does what happens on the sand planet, stay on the sand planet?
This alien romance novel features a tough, independent heroine; two gorgeous, sand planet barbarian warriors; and steamy scenes in a desert tent. If you like hot alien warriors, menage heat, and fated mates romance with a happily ever after, you’ll love PRIZE, the eighth book in Tana Stone’s sci-fi romance Barbarians of the Sand Planet series.
I 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!
This story is very good. I read it in the charity anthology, CLAIMED AMONG THE STARS, and I really enjoyed it. Dev and Trek are Twins and they want to travel to the Stars like many of their sand Planet brothers but ONLY those with mates can join. Cat has a job She Hates and really santa to leave the space Cruise ONLY She didn't meen to Crash in a desert world. Luckly for her the Twins see her Crash and help her. I didn't read the dando Planet series but now i really want to.
🔥 “Do you really want to know all my dark desires, Catarina?” ~~~ Dev and Trek are Dothvek twins and they share a unique and strong empathic bond. Those two males are absolutely magnificent - strong, protective, curious, honorable and so eager for adventure. And I absolutely adored them both! Unfortunately for them, they couldn’t join the Bounty Hunter Babes and their mates, but fate definitely has very interesting plans for them.
Cat is working as a steward on a luxury star cruise ship. I loved how strong, feisty and resourceful she is. Even more, she’s willing to do everything in her power to survive. And I loved that she was not afraid to face any danger or hardship thrown her way. She’s an amazing woman and I loved her so much!
The development of Cat, Trek and Dev’s relationship was an absolute delight to read! When Cat crash lands on an unknown desert planet, the last thing she expects is to be rescued by two gorgeous aliens. From the moment they met, the attraction between the three was undeniable. And I loved their chemistry and banters. Even more, the mind bond they shared made everything so much fun. I loved the time they spent together, getting to know one another and trying to survive all the dangerous creatures. And did I mention there is only one tent with only one bed? 😏 The passionate moments Dev, Trek and Cat shared were off-the-charts hot! One Dothvek is irresistible, but two… oh, boy! Those three were so perfect for each other and I couldn’t get enough of them!
In addition, the storyline was fantastic! Oh, how I’ve missed the Dothvek warriors! And I was so happy to be back on their sand planet with all its dangers and beauties. Even more, the peace between the Dothveks and the Cresteks is still fragile and not everyone is happy with it.
Overall, Prize is a wonderful novella and another awesome addition to the series. It’s filled with danger, adventure, fast-paced action, twists, suspense, smoking-hot romance and magnificent characters.
I love this series and have been waiting for the twins' story. Highly recommend!
Catarina was working as a steward on a pleasure cruise liner to Darnithian Prime. She had lied about her experience and qualifications to get the job but needed a decent paying job to support herself. She and her friend Maya come from a poor working class background on Earth. The ship encountered a meteor field and got hit so the captain ordered everyone to the escape pods. Her ship crash landed on the sand planet.
Dev and Trek are rare Dothvek twins. They wanted to join the bounty Hunter crew but we're turned down because they did not have mates yet. They have a stronger than usual mental connection to each other. They see the pod as it is crash landing and race to help the person inside. They sense the woman inside is important to them. After rescuing Cat they encounter a herd of jebels running from a swarm of hashara insects. They catch a jebel and race to Rukken's old campsite/tent to shelter. The twins and Cat end up spending a spicy night together but she tells them she needs to leave the planet and get back to the cruise liner. The twins bring her to the Crestek city to send a communication to the bounty hunter ship. While there she is kidnapped in the market place and gets rescued by the twins. Once the bounty hunter ship returns to the sand planet, Cat decides she wants to stay with the twins. They join the ship's crew and get their HEA.
I enjoyed Trek, Dev and Cat’s twins, ménage, fated mind mates alien romance. Cat is a human working on a luxury cruise spaceship. She lied to get her position as steward but she was desperate. When there is damage to the cruiser and the passengers and crew are sent to a nearby planet, Cat’s escape pod is inadvertently sent to the wrong planet. She ends up on the sand planet, a primitive planet that has had limited interaction with other species. Trek and Dev are identical twin Dothveks and they are empaths. When they rescue Cat and both connect to her mind, they think they might have found a joint mind mate but she is determined to get back to her real life. To do so they’ll have to seek help from the Cresteks, a more technologically advanced native species, but not everyone is happy with the new peace between the two species. The story was well written and included witty dialogue, three dimensional characters, and an engaging storyline as told through sweet moments, steamy scenes, fighting, dangerous situations, alien physiology and cultures, bad guys, loyal friends, painful pasts, fated mates, coincidences, plot twists, and laughs. I love this series.
Prize is the seventh book in the Barbarians of the Sand Planet series by Tana Stone.

This was such a steamy wonderful fantastic sci fi romance story that I couldn't put it down. I just had to read it in one sitting. I loved the story with a well written storyline and characters that had wonderful chemistry and could relate to. I love reading the Barbarians of Sand Plants and this book had it all. Cats working as a cabin steward on a luxury star cruise ship when given the order to abandon ship. Her escape pod crashes onto a desert where two gold skinned aliens find her and rescue her.

I received a free ARC of this book and this review is my honest voluntary review.
Catarina (“Cat”) was a cabin steward on a luxury star cruise ship. Ordered to an escape pod, she ends up crashing on a dangerous desert-like planet. Fortunately, two Dothvek Warrior twins, Dev and Trek, come to her rescue. They had been looking for mates so that they would be permitted to join the bounty hunter crew. When they find she can sense their thoughts, they know she is their mate. But they put her wishes first and promise to keep her safe. Will she stay with them? Will she accept them as her mates? Or will she insist on leaving the planet and her rescuers behind?
I always enjoy this author’s stories. Well-written and with strong, admirable characters, the reader can enjoy a fast-paced story that will hold your attention throughout. Grab your copy and see what kind of future is waiting for Cat and her heroes.

I received an arc copy of this book and this is my honest voluntary review.
If you have loved the Barbarians of the Sand Planet, you will definitely love this little novella. I’m sure you will love this story as much as I have and fall in love with the characters in this story. As we know Dev and Trek are twin Dothveks, they have been told that they can’t go on the bounty hunters ship until they are mated, but who would guess that that same day that they will see an escape pod crash land on the planet. Caterina is an earth female who left earth to work on a pleasure cruiser in space. This story is about the three and their journey to being mind mated. The story ends with Cat’s friend Maya as she arrives in the Crestek city, there seems to be some mischief afoot.
I was given a copy of this book to read and I am reviewing with my honest and fair opinion.
Enjoyable story that's about Cat who is working on a luxury space cruiser being a stewardess. The ship gets hit by a large meteor and Cat escapes in a pod which crashes on the Sand Planet. Dothvek warriors Dev with his twin brother Trek have the power of sharing a mind-linked so when they feel a female and see her pod crash down in the sands, they go to rescue her. What occurs is a very enjoyable story in this series that I loved reading. There's a spirited lady (Cat), two adorable warriors (Dev and Trek) who would do everything to claim Cat as their mate, lots of steamy romance, action and drama, in an engaging story that kept me entertained throughout. I volunteer to read and review this copy I received via the author.
A human female was ejected off of a cruise linear that was traveling through space when the cruise linear started having engine problems. Her life pod took her to a different planet than where everyone else ended up going to. Alien twin warriors saw a trail of smoke arching across the sky and heading to the sands. You will have to read the book to find out what all happens to everyone. There are twists and turns in this story. Happy reading!
I Love the Barbarians of the Sand Planet… Catarina was working as a cabin steward on a luxury star cruise ship before she ended up crashing on the Sand Planet. She’s rescued by Dothvek Warrior twins Dev and Trek. Even though they’re connection is quickly apparent, the honorable twins are determined to give Cat what she wants… I received a free copy of this book. This review was posted voluntarily.
It has been a long time since I read a book in the series but I remembered once I got to reading.
I finished the book in one sitting and never noticed the time's passing. It was a good read and good to know that our Dovthek twins found their mate and in one woman. There are some adventures, some excitement and a continuing saga. It seems that the peace between the Dovtheks and the Cresteks is still fragile. Looking forward to the story of Maya.
Holy smokes the twins' story was steamy. Whilst reading the other Dothvek stories I wonder what may come of Dev and Trek if they could find their mind mate. Cat is a steward in a luxury space cruiser that gets hit by meteors and somehow ends up on the Sand Planet. The story was engaging, well-written and I couldn't put it down I was given a free copy of this book and I'm voluntarily leaving an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I like a feisty human female, though this one seemed to fall into the furs with both guys very quickly....don't really know how realistic that is. Are all human females that randy? I liked the twins but why are all sentient males (sorry I find the term 'alien' derogatory) 7 ft tall. Must make kissing human females hard on their necks. Still, an enjoyable story set on desert sands.
Cat has quite the temper (doesn’t hold it back) and it tends to get her in trouble. The alien twins are shocked that she can hear their thoughts. Mates! This is unheard of, so they need find out how it works by trial and error. They are more concerned about how she feels and what she wants than what they want. There’s an element of danger to add tension and action to a complicated situation.
Sand people... How utterly fascinating set of twins... Yummy. What else is there to say about this story? Such a fabulously smashingly fantastic story !!! I just loved reading it. And the human woman, she was somehow just such a typical young woman who went through such experience and of course she was overwhelmed. Overall it was a really good SciFi and one deserving fabulous five stars.
PRIZE, author Tana Stone's spicy hot alien romance is absolutely fascinating! I read it in one sitting. I couldn't put it down! Dev an Trek make an alien sandwich quite appealing. A unique storyline plus compelling characters makes PRIZE one of those complex Sci-fi novels that doesn't let go. Get your copy of PRIZE, today! 😉
Cat’s view of space and aliens shifts when her escape pod lands in the middle of a dangerous dessert! Will she accept the help of the twin Dothvek warriors, Trek and Dev? There are good reasons why Cat enjoys both of these talented young men. Enjoy their discoveries and adventures!!!
While I am all for a Why Choose romance, and there was plenty of spice to go round… I wasn’t overly excited reading this 😕 Which made me kinda sad. Fated mates, who choose, alien peen and multiple orgasms, ummm… Yes please! But the writing was only ok. There could’ve been so much more to this story. It was definitely a missed opportunity.
I am never disappointed by this authors books and this was no exception. She has returned to the sand planet with this book and those Dothvek warrior twins in the previous books to find there mate. It has a great storyline, well written, with plenty of steam and romance.
Catarina is an employee on a cruise ship that runs into trouble and her emergency pod lands her in a huge desert. Twins Dev and Trek find her and save her before her pod is enveloped in the sand. Oh those adorable Dothvik twins have an adventure.
Whew, Prize is sizzling hot! Dothvek Twins - seven feet of golden muscles times two!!! Cat is a feisty human rescued by the twins. She finds herself in a mind meld (and other delicious adventures) with them. Sensuous read!
This one was a bit over the top for my tastes, but some of that I feel was that it was a shorter story, so not enough time for full character development. It wasn't bad though and now I wait for the trouble the Cresteks are going to come up with.
Twin alien brothers find their fated mate when she crash lands on their sand planet. Also they can MIND MATE. That's right, they can read each other's minds. And they do, for filthy reasons.
I read this novella first the in Claimed Among the Stars anthology.
DNF at chapter 19. I don't understand why this exists. I read book 9 in the series first because I'm weird and this, trouple, kept getting mentioned in it and I was like wtf is happening?! So I read part of this and enough questions were answered.
In this adventure, the twins help Cat, who crashed landed on the sand planet and is their mind mate. They help her to send a transmission to the bounty hunters, and on their arrival, all 3 embark on their next adventure with the bounty hunter barbarian team.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
This has been a great series and as part of an even larger universe this book hit the spot. Instant attraction, steam, and exciting life or death situations , made this a solid book. Good job by the narrators bringing the characters to life.
I have no idea what happened with the editor, but this book is ATROCIOUS! And I don't just mean the story, but there is such bad editing that you're pulled from the story. So if the editor was fired, Tana needs to find one ASAP!!!
