Major Lucas Matthew Zafar was decorated pilot for the Coalition, who has worked hard for every promotion and earned every decoration, despite his father being High Admiral. Nine cycles ago, he crashed on an alien world and discovered his life mate, a nine-cycle girl with flame-red hair and sparkling, green eyes. She captivates everyone around her with her strength and determination. She is his world or will be once she grows up.

Together they discover what it truly means to be life mates. That it is about doing what is best for the other even if it is not the best for you. That you have to do more than just love, you have to trust and be willing to sacrifice the things you never thought you would. Moreover, if you are lucky, and the ancestors are watching over you, you just might get everything you've ever dreamed of.

I adore this series

The Audible version of this book takes me away every time I listen to it. I've listened multiple times! Please, don't stop writing MK Eidem! The combination of love story, scify fantasy, and adventure are tremendous!!

Questionable repeat performance

The first time I listened to the book, it was fantastic. I love MK's books and I have listened to them all multiple times. They are my go to when I need something to relax with. However, after listening to this twice, I no longer have any patience for Victoria. I can't believe how bratty she is. And the voice of the narrator just comes across as whiny. I also didn't care for the initial conflict between her and Lucas was a bit much for me to handle. During all of those chapters, I just wanted to slap them both. That said, I really do like the story and once she's past the "woe is me" stage, she becomes a little more likable and the story doesn't make me cringe as much. Of all of MKs stories that I have read or listened to, this is my least favorite.

2nd Book

Okay so I really enjoyed the first book. I believe this story is good. I suggest self reading this book. The voices make me cringe. Sometimes I can listen long enough the reader will grow on me. This one got worse the longer I listened. There are so many great readers out there that would have made this listen so great. Too bad!

so awesome

I loved every minute of this book. The performance was perfect.... I'm in love with these characters.

A love story to remember!!

Would you consider the audio edition of Victoria's Challenge to be better than the print version?

No. I love both the book and the audio

Who was your favorite character and why?

Victoria's mom. She held everyone together.

Which character – as performed by the narrators – was your favorite?

Victoria. Her brothers perform every what very lacking

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Sad at first and with her parents , but it got a lot better. , but the suspense was off the chart.

Any additional comments?

The narrator who did Victorias brother was lacking. No emotion

Amazing!!!

This is how all audio books should be with sound affects and both a female and male narrator . They both were amazing making the characters stand out and bringing the story to life!!! I can't wait for the next book.

Sigh I love but…

I absolutely love this story it’s my favorite in the series but Victoria’s voice is so high pitched sometimes it makes me cringe. That being said I’ll still listen to because it’s my favorite

Did it again

There aren’t to many things that aren’t great with this series. The dedication and honor which the men show towards their women is something made of fairytales, and that every woman wants.

Can't wait to listen to the rest of the stories

Grace story can't wait for the next book Can't wait to listen to all the rest of the stories on audiobook

Good story but narration…..

I like the story in general, although it should say something about why Victoria decided to focus on burn treatment, that seemed to come out of the blue.

The narration is mostly fine except for the voice of Victoria! High pitched and screechy throughout the book. When the main character has a voice like that it makes it hard to listen to the book.
The rest of the audio is fine for me and I like the added background sounds giving it a little realism to the audiobook.

Don’t skip out on the next books based on Victoria’s bad voice, I don’t recall her being in the next two books.
