There are a few things my Tri-God did not prepare me for. The first? Niahhorru pirates. They want the coordinates to an unprotected human satellite, and I have them. The confusing? The human Council's secrets that I've uncovered and that may get me killed. The most sinful? The pressure in my stomach...well, lower than my stomach...that draws me to the male who hates me most in this universe.

There's nothing my warrior training did not prepare me for. Even though my body desires to bond to hers, I'll fight until I break it. She's a disgusting human, filthy and impure, a worshipper of a fickle human god and, worst of all, not Drakesh. Nox, that isn't the worst. Worse, is that she's got space pirates, traitors, and other enemies chasing her. Worst, is that I won't let them touch her because she's my Xiv—nox! I'll fight. But fighting is harder when I don't really want to win...

Taken to Heimo is a full-length sci-fi space-opera romance complete with an angry alien and a head-scarf-wearing human heroine who is far too polite to meet anger with anger...at least most of the time. It is book 4 in the Xiveri mates series and should be listened to after books 1 and 2. Books 3, 6, and 8 are complete standalones (on other planets) and can be listened to at any point.

Trigger warning! The heroine in this book is attacked more than once, and there are multiple violent battle scenes before reaching the HEA.

Loved it

Such a great story loves the couple they were so perfect! I love the way they found each other even with the hate to each other. Such a lovely story!

good story, rough narration

I was really looking forward to this story and it didn't disappoint. There was lots of action and romance.
The narrators however... I was really not a fan. The male narrator was especially tough to listen to. He read in this strange way like he's always out of breath. I won't continue the series if the next book has the same narrators.

These narrators are a step down from earlier books

I enjoyed the first three books in this series, but these narrators are awful and spoil the story for me. Both of them read with a kind of relentless breathlessness, and the cadence is odd and unnatural. Please give us back the earlier readers!
