Alien Commander's Mate

Fated Mates of the Xilan Warriors

By: Ava Ross

Narrated by: Felicity Munroe, Stephen Dexter

An alien warrior has made me an offer I can’t refuse. In exchange, he can do what he wants with me for one week.

I want a child, but that’s impossible now that Earth men are sterile. Then, a ping from a distant planet reaches us. Aliens are real, and they’re interested in getting to know Earth women better.

The Xilans fall into an insatiable urge once every three years. It's called the Slaking. There aren’t enough females to give them what they need, so like many Earth women, I sign up. For one week, I’ll make an alien happy, and in exchange, I get a child. As long as I keep my heart of out of the equation, things should go fine, right?

But when an intergalactic war erupts, we must fight for our very survival.

Alien Commander’s Mate is book one in the Fated Mates of the Xilan Warrior series. It features aliens who look and act alien, heated plot lines, and a guaranteed HEA.

best exciting storytelling!!

A surprise after another, so far love the story. The characters are funny, sexy and self inspired. So far, I loved the main character with her mate. I'm looking forward to the next audible books of these series. Overall a must read!!

good but short

The beginning was a little annoying because the concept of the story gets re-explained rather unnecessarily. It's a simple concept, and fairly common for these alien romance novels. I also didn't love the males being described as reptilian, that sounds decidedly unattractive. but overall, I enjoyed the story. there was plenty of action and some fun side characters. My biggest gripe is that it was so short!! I finished the book so fast that it hardly feels worth the credit. it has me debating finishing the series.
The narrators were both good. I think they both handled male and female voices well. I also appreciate the consistency of the voices that they both did for t-rex.

Under attack in outer space!

The heroine: Lydia - she and her three best friends, Rose, Avery and Sammy, want babies and since a virus swept through Earth, all the men are now sterile. When an alien race contacted Earth, it seemed like the perfect solution. The alien race, Xilan didn’t have enough females and once every three years they go through a period called slaking which is basically when they are in heat and need women. So, there is a program to match each female to a Xilan male and they meet on a space station.

The Hero: Gorok - he is a commander of the Xilan forces and near to going through his slaking. He is not very attracted to human females, but he figures it is better than nothing, so he tries out the program. Though as soon as he sees Lydia, he feels things he is not ready for, like possessiveness and protectiveness.

The Story: The two main characters meet at a space station for the slaking. Gorok decided that if he liked his female, he may just take her home to Xilan to be his companion though he knows forming a true bond is a very rare thing so probably will not happen. He wonders if she sparked his heart fire and wanted to return to Earth, would he willingly leave her behind?

Gorok has trouble finding any female that stirred him until he sees Lydia. He immediately chooses her, and they get busy pretty quickly. Lydia was a bit anxious about Gorok’s ginormous member, but she adapted pretty quickly and was pleased, but right before he was about to finish, the space station is attacked.

From there on, the book was full of action. I love it when there is plenty of action and adventure in an alien romance. I know some people read them for the smut factor, but I like a good story and outer space adventure. I also loved the fact that there was a hilarious droid named T-Rex and a big purple jaguar like creature.

This book is told in dual points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Felicity Munroe and Stephen Dexter. These two narrators do quite a few alien romance audiobooks and I like them both quite a lot. Felicity has a pleasant, age-appropriate sounding voice and Stephen has a deep yet soft voice which I really enjoy.

New Funny Series!

Ok this was totally unexpected hilarity. I kept laughing out loud at how cool and Unafraid the the female lead was in this story. Definitely worth the purchase. Can’t wait for the next installment. Sexy aliens and creepy spiders what’s not to love! Plus the added humor of T-Rex!

Commanders mate

A different view of aliens and how they could interact I enjoyed the plot. I’ll continue to read to see which other types of species they interact with I’m intrigued thus far.

Alien Commander’s Mate 1

I have enjoyed reading the book. I like the creativity of the males organ and commitment to females. I hope there will be more stories with inclusion of the babies. I am interested in how they will look.

Excellent

I just love this author. I enjoyed the narrator's also and I don't say that often.

Humorous alien romance

This was a short fast paced story with a humorous twist, in my opinion. Lydia was funny and easy going through out the entire story. I love the playful jest among the characters even in the height of danger. This was refreshing and steamy without cliffhanger. Definitely HEA.
The story focus on the main characters and their goals and lack the details on the environment. I couldn't imagine their environment because I was caught up in the drama and romance. I still do not have a detail picture of what each character looks like in my head.

Funny

This book made me laugh out loud. The storyline is similar to other books in genre. The narrators brought the story to life; Felicity and Stephen did a great job. On to the next book!

Pleasantly Surprised

I enjoyed the humor in this book. The narration was good too. I look forward to reading the rest of the series
