The Alien's Ransom (Drixonian Warrior, #1)
Ella Maven
"Nothing in my life had prepared me for extraterrestrial motorcycle clubs." Frankie: I thought alien abductions only happened in movies. But here I am on a strange planet with green soil and a gang of muscled, wicked-horned aliens on hover bikes. All I want to do is go back to Earth, but the alpha male in charge has decided I belong to him. Now I'm on the back of his bike speeding to an unknown destination and super freaked out about liking his biceps and serious scowl. Good thing I have some banked personal days, because this might take awhile... Daz: The job is supposed to be easy. All I have to do is deliver a spaceship of living cargo to the vile Uldani and they'll release my brother. If I fail, they'll take it out on him. Except the cargo is something I've never seen before--human females. The one called Frankie is beautiful and soft, and I've already spilled blood for her. Now how am I going to save my brother? Because this human female is mine. The Alien's Ransom is a full-length Sci-Fi romance novel featuring a snarky heroine who tries to find the humor in everything, even when kidnapped by aliens, and a possessive hero with lots of hidden weapons. Big ones.

0 0Finding that this was available at my local library made my day! I’ve been wanting to read Maven’s books for a while, and have purchased a ton because: look at these covers!
It didn’t disappoint—a fun world, likable characters and if you’re into steamy scenes, you’ll like this world, there are many, this installment was fast-burn and they were pretty hot.
This world is not unlike others in the SFR genre that I’ve read before, but I do want to see more of it so far. I may or may not read the entire series, but I’ll at least read into book 2 and see how it goes and I’ll definitely explore Maven’s other series based on this experience.
Maven is a good writer, seems to know what readers want and how to build a world, and likable characters. The female lead was strong—stronger than she knows—and it was fun to watch her figure that out. The males are very charming and just live for their woman and there are mysteries afoot and lots of adventure waiting on the horizon.
Overall:
3.5 stars.

Audio:
The production itself was seamless—no external sounds or quality issues. The narrators performed well. The female doesn’t have the best voice, but did a great job otherwise and voice is obviously subjective. The male was great. 4-stars overall on this front.
