The Commander's Captive (An Alien Breeder Romance)

The House of Kaimar, Book 1

De: Miranda Bridges

Narrado por: Jessica Schly

Aliens.

That's right. I said it.

I know - it sounds stupid to me also. I'm a psychologist (sort of), so you'd think I'd be able to reason my way out of this mess. Except the reality is that I've been abducted to become their breeder, and it doesn't take an advanced degree to recognize this is all sorts of jacked up.

But I digress.

Apparently, these aliens are on the brink of extinction and need me and my fellow captives to repopulate. Yay us. I guess it's time to figure out an escape plan before they knock me up. I'll be back later.

Hopefully.

Pretty good

This book was funny; the private thoughts and banter between Lia and Varek was great. The narrator did a good job with characters. Storyline was typical of many paranormal romances. On to the next book!

Love the book

Love it. Author is great and love the narrator. About to start the second book now, especially since the first one ended kind of abruptly.

More a teen story

Although these are fun stories ,but the language is to foul . I would've enjoy a more serious group of characters. I will say if you want just a quick read or listen , it passes the time.

Hot Non-Con but issues...

Definitely a steamy romance that is emotionally engaging. Unfortunately, a lot of my emotions were annoyance and cringes throughout. The beginning gave me anxiety because the voice actor was putting so much realistic panic to her voice. There is a point in the story that killed this book for me. There is literally a 60 second scene where the FMC flips from prisoner to in love and it completely missed the mark.

Issues with performance and the story. More with the story. In a way, this voice actor is impressive with how well she expresses the character's emotions.

Sexy

Women are kidnapped from Earth and mating bonds snap into place for a few. It’s a little Stockholm, but a great listen. Aliens who repressed emotions are showing a more vulnerable side. Women who were scared have great sex and a mate fall in love. 18+

It’s not terrible

This book didn’t have many fantastic reviews to go off of. I thought the idea behind the book was good so I bought it. Now I’m about halfway through it and it has good qualities and has some things left to be desired.
This story feels like it was fleshed out in the authors head but not all of it made its way to the page. There are aspects between the two main characters that would make more sense as time passes, except the concept of time passing is convoluted. The way it seems everything happens within a day maybe two. I enjoyed the female lead not being crazy in the hackneyed way of “omg aliens let’s freak and never get a handle on it until they see the amazing goods a alien man is packing” I like the humor used to deal with the situation and the wanting to comfort others.
The relationship / feelings of the main characters definitely could be more fully explained and given time to develop.
I understand the women are stolen for procreation And I like the clinical way they go about it, it makes sense for this type of story. What I wish was available was the thoughts behind the male character and more analysis from the female lead if we can’t have the male leads perspective.

There are also characters that just show up and the female lead seems to know them and have a background with them while I’m sitting here thinking I missed a chapter, like who is this alien dude?

In the end I don’t know if I’ll continue this book but I know I won’t return it. Returning books makes the authors go without payment and that’s horse hockey in my opinion. So even if I don’t finish it I’ll definitely be keeping it.

Good story needs a better narrator!

I love this author, she writes great alien romances, but this narrator needs work. At times this narrator spoke so quickly it sounded like one big run on sentence and her inflections fell in the wrong places that it became really annoying. I struggled to get through it and finally gave up on chapter 2. Will be returning this audio book and buying the ebook instead, that way I can enjoy the story.

It was okay.

I'm not a fan of books about submissive whiny women, but I believe the best friend's will probably be my type of protagonist.

Narrator was alright..

The narrator was alright, but struggled to do different voices for the different characters. It was kinda hard to tell the difference. But I loved the story, I personally read the whole series before buying the audio version. Totally recommend reading it! But not so much with audible with this narrator. Sorry

awesome book

loved it can't wait to read book 2 great narrator would read again must read
