De: Lisa Lace

Narrado por: Cassandra Myles

Earth is losing the war with the Anquesh. The world government needs TerraMates to find a bride for an alien warrior and finalize a peace treaty with the dangerous race.

Jennifer Carden never thought Kai would select her as his mate. He's tall, dark, devilishly handsome, and different from all the males she's ever known. Once Kai decides Jenn is his sindare, she's taken to an alien planet.

On Anquera, she discovers there will be competition to win her marriage rights. And things are different in space. What does it mean when the word for wedding ceremony translates to "trial by combat"?

Jenn's going to find out.

This story takes place in the TerraMates universe, but can be listened to as a standalone novel.

A great continuation of the alien romance series.

What made the experience of listening to Craving the most enjoyable?

Different cultures-alien and earthling. He is royalty and she is just a poor regular girl trying to pay the bills. There is obvious chemistry between the two of them causing some heat. This all adds up to fast-paced action as the two try to figure out their relationship.

What other book might you compare Craving to and why?

Since this book is part of the series of alien romances, right away, you compare the each other. This author has done a great job of making each book in the series different with well described various alien cultures and storylines. They are all very good.

Which scene was your favorite?

My favourite is near the end of the book when each of the characters finally figure out what they want from relationship.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

My reaction was to want to quickly finish the book so I would find out what would happen. Did one to wait another minute!

not your typical alien romance

let me start by saying the plot is great. there's danger, espionage, the works. character development is also great. they learn a lot about each other and their governments. the sparks are there and with some miscommunication things are kept hopping. I started listening at work, kept going in the car ride home and had to force myself to turn it off so my kids wouldn't hear it lol. let's just say I really really liked this book :)

My favorite to date!

What made the experience of listening to Craving the most enjoyable?

The performance was stellar and lent to such an enjoyable experience it was as if I were experiencing the story first hand. The story line; war, intrigue and volatile passion were pressed together into a seamless experience. The characters were likable and both point of views were presented so well as to give cause to support both and cheer for resolution.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Craving?

The first encounter, in the taxi... Oh Boy! and was the first of a long list of many that made this book so devastatingly good.

Which character – as performed by Cassandra Myles – was your favorite?

I could never choose between the heroin, Jenn, or the hero, Kai, both along with supporting characters gave the novel a great fullness.

Military, Aliens, Romance

Combine Military combat with SciFi backgrounds and add in some fumbling romance plus sexy encounters, and you get Jennifer and Kai's story. A little barbaric, Kai's race creates treaties through royal nuptials as a prize in an honorable marriage battle between races.
Their meetcute is quite funny and turns into a sexy moment, which causes Kai's plan to derail. From that point forward, the story is full of attacks, counter attacks, false alliances, double crossings, a few disheartening moments, and lots of on the edge of your seat chapter endings. Ne prepared for that "just one more chapter..." moment to come quite often.
Cassandra Myles is an excellent narrator for this book. She does a fantastic job of living the action and bringing out the emotion in the right moment.

Great series!

This just continue to be a great series. This story is full action and romance. Keep you on the edge of your seat wanting more. If you enjoy alien romance you'll love this one. Hope you enjoy.

The Love story of Kai Imwaden and Jennifer Carden

A war between three planets, Earth, Anquera and Similicue. Jenn meets Kai thru Terra Mates when a treaty is needed between their planets to end the longtime war between the planets. Kai is to chose one of the women brought along but dives into a closet to avoid the women. It happens to be the same closet Jenn is hiding in. She needed the money but didn't really want to be chosen. Her dishonest husband on earth forged documents and took all the money in her trust fund. She didn't find out until Anton's real wife of ten years showed up after another man showed up wanting money Anton owed him. Desperate she applied to Terra Mates. There is a connection between Jenn and Kai from the first as he recognizes her as his Sindare. Intrigue, mystery, Romance and corrupt actions by all three of the governments involved in the war will keep you captivated and turning the pages of this book till you have finished reading. This is an honest review in exchange for an ARC in Audible and book copy. Lisa Lace is my favorite author and every new book I read becomes my favorite.

Another good story.

I know that the plot is always the same, girl from earth is short on money and need a huge cash infusion. Male alien is hot and sexy looking for a wife. The two meet and have instant chemistry with insane sex, fall in love and boom HEA in the end. Okay, it has some twists each time but for whatever reason I still find I enjoy the stories.

It's not ever going to be a classic but I think it is fun to listen to and I like the stories. I really do not understand why but I do. I guess they do have enough changes to keep me interested.

Good story

Book review....................
Good story. I liked the characters however I would have liked there to have been a little more depth to them. I'm not saying they were shallow I'm just saying they needed something more.
