The Alien's Bite

Craving the Heveians, Book 1

Kora

My nightmares didn't prepare me for this.

Abducted off the space station where I teach the standard galactic language, I'm imprisoned with two other women in a cold, dirty cell on an alien ship. We're destined for something worse than death until a fierce, blue-haired alien male rescues us. We recover on his ship with his group of Heveian pirates. There, the attraction that formed when he first carried me in his arms grows into a force neither of us can deny. But something else has taken up residence on the ship. Something that will stop at nothing to destroy us all.

Ryland

I was trained from my royal youth to fight. Even here, as a rogue raider in exile with my rebellious friends, it's the role I play, until I hold Kora in my arms. She makes my fangs ache. She makes everything ache. My protective instincts roar as I vow to protect my mate against any who would harm her. But how can I protect her from an enemy so insidious that it can turn our crew against each other? I will keep Kora safe, even if it means the ultimate sacrifice.

Contains mature themes.

Aliens Bite

3 women are rescued by Heveian Warriors.

I liked this story but wasn’t a fan of the narrators. I also felt like some info was missing from the story. I was a major fan of Blake’s other story with the Solas. Also, corkscrew peens?? How would that even work??

Bad Narrators

It's difficult to enjoy a book when both narrators are not good. The story isn't too bad and falls in line with quite a bit of other books in this sub-genre, however, some of the writing seems like words were thrown in because the author couldn't think up a better line. If that makes any sense to you.
Is it worth getting? If you're like me and struggle with an actual book/ebook due to poor eyesight, I would look elsewhere until you run out of better narrators. I've heard worse but I wish I could shake some sense into authors. They need to realize that a narrator can destroy any hope of selling a series, let alone a single book. And, the sad part is that the entire series is read by the same narrators.

ok story absolutely ruined by poor narration

This is the first book in a follow on series from the book Virgo's Prize, which I really liked. This story would be easier to follow if you have already read that one but it isn't a deal breaker or anything like that.
This story is short, self contained, and sets up all the characters for the other books in this series. so overall, a good start. However, it is absolutely killed by the narrators. they are both stiff and stilted in their voice acting/reading and it just kills any sort of vibe. If I hadn't bought this on the cheap, I would've requested a refund because it was just miserable listening to them. The rest of these books I'll be reading on Kindle because I'm not going to subject myself to more of these awful narrators.
