Artek

Seven Brides for Seven Alien Brothers, Book 1

De: Honey Phillips

Narrado por: Beth Roeg, Gideon Frost

Can a marriage of convenience between an alien rancher and the town spinster become something more?

Worn down by war and conflict, Commander Artek and his brothers - the soldiers under his command - have chosen to start a new life on a backwater planet. As hard work and peaceful surroundings start to heal old wounds, he realizes that something - or rather someone - is missing from his new life.

None of the human females in the small town on the other side of the mountains appeal to him except for the shopkeeper’s daughter. She’s smart, sensible - and disturbingly attractive despite her shapeless clothes and brusque manner.

Although Nelly is rapidly turning into the town spinster, she’d rather be alone than married to one of the local bumpkins. But when one of the mysterious aliens who have taken up residence in the mountains behind the town proposes a union, she sees the chance for a new future. He’s big and gruff - but he treats her as if she’s precious.

But a whirlwind courtship and a hasty marriage are only the beginning. Can two people who know nothing about each other possibly find happiness together?

Each book in the Seven Brides series features a different couple and may be listened to as a standalone, but the books do link together. This sweet and steamy series is intended for mature listeners.

Love this series!

I first read this series in ebook and really enjoyed it. Just listened to Artek in audio and it was even better. The caring and love between this found family of brothers makes my heart happy as they find their forever loves, healing and HEA.

Artek gets Lucky

I'm a big fan of Honey Phillips so I was happy to see this story come out on audible I'm looking forward to the other stories in this series to come out on audible good author great story good narrators pleasant experience all around looking forward to the next installments

Please

More audio books please! I've listened to Artek several times and wish I could "read" the rest of them. Assistive reading is not so great. Please consider audio for the rest. Thanks

Love this entire series and the spin off series. Can't wait for them all to be on audible.

Honey Phillips is one of my favorite Arthur's. She needs to put more of her books on audible. This series follows the pattern of the "Seven brides for seven brothers" movie from 1954.This book is, seven former military men who are different races of aliens who all go together to settle on a new planet. There they purchase an old ranch that belonged to the founder and creator of the town. Their leader "Artek" marries a human women from town. The town are all humans who generations before settle on the new planet and created the town with the founder. Arteks new wife Nelly tells a story one evening about 7 brothers who go into a town and take wife's from the town dance. The brides get snowed in with the brothers and they all fall in love, never wanting to return to the town. This book starts that same type of story line with each of Arteks military brothers. Each story takes the reader further into the lives and love story of the brothers and their brides. This book is Artek and Nellys love story and the start to a wonderful series.

Not my fav but got me interested in this world

I have listened to this author's work before and these weren't my fav so far, but I thought this one was pretty decent (book 2 improves to 4 stars). This was almost insta-love/insta-lust and I felt like some of the interaction fell flat for me. It wasn't a bad story/audiobook but didnt wow me like some of the other audiobooks.

I liked the FMC, she was strong and stood up for herself, I was annoyed with her dad but he finally got in line when it mattered. I appreciated Artek and his bestie and how they interacted with the humans with the shop, how they could be trusted more than any of the other humans and they paid attention. I did like some instances with the couple but again some things felt forced/felt way too instant for me. I did think the story set up the rest of the brothers, I already listened to book 2 and am patiently waiting the others (I did get these stories in a book box so I may crack open those special editions if the audiobooks take a bit to come out haha).

Narration was good, but I think the male narrator had a disadvantage because of how frosty/robotic his character was written/things didnt flow as well as I had hoped. Female narrator did a good job too, I was able to connect with her, and felt her inner strength with how she was portrayed/her behavior in a male-dominated world.
