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.

So good!

First of all, Zoey Draven is an amazing writer. She knows how to world build and weave romance and plot together. I can’t wait to read the rest of this series. The narrators are top notch and made the listening experience a pleasure.

Really good!

I liked this book from beginning to end. The characters were interesting and the world building was imaginative. The narration was really good too! A credit well spent.

Arranged Marriage, Enemies to Lovers!

It has been a while since I liked an alien romance as much as this one. I love Zoey Draven's Horde Kings of Drakar series so I am not surprised that this one was so good. The heroine's family is in debt and the hero offers marriage to pay off everything for them. The hero is set on revenge against the heroine's father and we get an enemies-to-lovers situation.
The chemistry between the hero and heroine was so good! We get so much tension and the hero reluctantly falls for his wife despite his hatred of her family. The audio performance was so well done. This is a new to me male narrator and I was impressed with his performance. Stella Hunter is one of my favorite female narrators and she did an incredible job with this book.I had so much fun with this and will definitely be picking up the next one in the series.
