Desire in His Blood

Brides of the Kylorr, Book 1

De: Zoey Draven

Narrado por: Marcio Catalano, Stella Hunter

A monster wants her as his bride...and he will stop at nothing to claim her.

Gemma Hara is drowning under the weight of her father’s debts. Working herself to the bone, she knows that if she doesn’t pay them off in time, the sadistic creditors will take everything: their home, their respected name, and, worst of all, her two beautiful sisters.

To save her family, Gemma agrees to do something reckless: marry a wealthy and mysterious stranger, who offers her a wicked bargain she can’t afford to refuse.

However, his bargain comes with one terrifying catch. Because her husband-to-be is a Kylorr.

One of the most fearsome alien races in the Four Quadrants, the Kylorr are beastly monsters, all muscle and menace, with powerful wings, depraved cravings, and berserker-like rages. The worst part?

They survive on blood.

Cold and cruel, Azur of House Kaalium, the High Lord of Laras, demands Gemma as his blood bride. To feed from her. To use her body in whatever way he wishes. For paying off her family’s debts, he expects her complete submission.

What neither of them predicts is how his bite doesn’t bring pain—it fills Gemma with more exquisite pleasure than she’s ever known. And as she finds her footing on a strange new planet, the one thing Gemma thought she’d never surrender might be at risk after all.

Her heart.

Too bad her new husband can’t seem to decide if he wants to break it...or keep it forever.

Great Story!

. The narrators did a good job telling the story and giving the characters a voice emotions and all that made it entertaining to listen to it. The FMC is struggling paying off her father's debt, staff, workers and house bills while trying to hide it from her sisters. When she has no other choice she agrees to marry the MC not knowing he has an agenda of his own. This was a great story the chemistry between the two is hot , when they get together steamy, when everything unfolds heavy.

Story predictable

The narrators did a fantastic job, but the female character was so boring at times. Had to fast forward a few times because the story was just slow and not moving repeatedly at times. Loved the male voice he was fantastic! Story was just boring at times, but gave it a four for narrative because they were just fantastic!

Worth listening to

New story idea and new way of having an enjoyable alien romance story !
Its worth listening to

The story line

Liked it all. I wish it had been lengthier. Loved the characters good, bad, their weaknesses.

Sci-fi alien romance with revenge, arranged marriage, and fated mates!

Desire in His Blood is the first book in Zoey Draven’s Brides of the Kylorr series. I have heard the best things about this author for over a year now and finally got around to trying them out! This is an arranged marriage, alien/vampire/berserker hero, enemies to lovers, fated mates romance!

This has really great parts, the world was interesting, he’s set on revenge, the arranged marriage with him pretty much buying her because he wants the oldest daughter in the family and her family is super broke and desperate enough to do it, and that it’s very much enemies to lovers! I do think at times it felt too long and did drag, but I had a fun time with it! I really loved once they both give in and he gets possessive and pulled in to her realizing they’re blood mates. I’ll definitely check out the next book in this series and the other series I keep getting recommended from this author!

so worth the good reviews 🥵❤️‍🔥

Had downloaded it cuz the reviews were KILLER, and was disappointed the 1st 2 chapters when I 1st tried. ran out of things to do and needed a long listen so I retried...
SO GLAD I DID! 1000% worthy of any and all great reviews. I can't EVEN with Marcio's voiceless and I always love me some Stella but she was BORN to be this heroine!

Awesome!

Great story. Great spice. Dynamic characters. The right amount of angst. Worth the credit.

I couldn't stop listening!

Desire in His Blood is the first book in the Brides of the Kylorr series. This is my first book by the author and was I impressed! I'm not usually one for PNR, but this was really good. Gemma marries an enemy alien to pay off her father's debts and save her sisters from the same fate. Azur is a monster, a vampire with wings in space (it's not as weird as it sounds when I write it). He wants to save his family as well and Gemma is part of that plan. This one had me from the beginning and I couldn't stop listening. The author really gives us a fantasy world in detail along with internal struggles and some super steamy alien spice! Yum! I can't wait for the rest of this series.

The narration was fabulous! Marcio Catalano is becoming a favorite narrator for me. Stella Hunter is just magnificent as well. These two made the steam happen! 5 spicy space stars!

So good!

5/5⭐️ 3/5🌶️ 5/5🎧
Audiobook review: This book was so good! It’s been a while since I read a monster romance and it didn’t disappoint. It was an enemies to lovers, marriage of convenience/forced marriage, revenge plot. But when they fell, they fell hard. Lots of blood play, which is my jam. I was swooning by the end. He was absolutely terrifying, he was sweet on her. Obsessed. We. Freaking. Love. It. 👏 Sign me up for the rest of the series because it was so good. Read this book. Better yet, listen to the audio because Stella Hunter and Marcio Catalano absolutely rocked this audio performance.

Did not know what to expect

Actually I thoroughly enjoyed the story. The narrators voices were perfect. I loved the strong engagement between the couple.
