Claimed by the Cyborgs

The Interstellar Brides® Program: The Colony Series, Book 9

By: Grace Goodwin

Narrated by: Tor Thom, Avery Reid

Prillon warrior Thomar Arcas is the royal heir to his ancestor's legacy of dishonor, betrayal, and death. When he was captured by the Hive, some on his home world cheered. Some sighed with relief. None shed a tear.

Thomar, along with his second, Varin, break free and destroy an enemy base, barely escaping with their lives. They transport to The Colony, the last refuge for contaminated males. Upon arrival they suffer in agony, their cyborg implants fighting for control of the powerful warriors.

Defeat is not in their blood. Not in their history. Not in their souls. Unable to sever their ties to the Hive implants, and suffering unrelenting pain, the warriors are about to choose an honorable death over further disgrace; until they are matched to a human female from Earth who very much needs their broken pieces to make herself whole. A female whom they crave with an intensity that just might pull them back from the brink of death.

Danika Gray left Earth to start a new life. With every touch, every kiss, every moment in their arms she finds herself closer to the paradise she seeks. But how can she free her new mates from endless torment? Fight an enemy she cannot see?

Love and passion are her only weapons. Lust. Desire. She must surrender everything she is - give in to their insatiable hunger - in order to save them.

Even that might not be enough....

Another good book in a great series

I love all of the Interstellar Bride books regardless of the series, & they all flow & interact with each other. So just as a FYI: The best way to listen to all the Interstellar books (bride, cyborg, beast, virgin) is to listen to them in order of release date & book #. Do not listen to them separately solely based on the individual series because all of the series' books interact with the characters & timelines from the other books in all the different Interstellar Bride series.

Beautiful savior!

The heroine: Danika - she was a criminal and decided to sign up for the Interstellar Brides program in lieu of remaining in jail. She came from a small town and was immediately matched to a Prillon male warrior as her primary, that male will choose a second and she will be mated to both warriors. Danika had been in jail for over 7 years and was more than ready for two mates.

The Heroes: Thomar and Varin - Thomar suffered greatly while he and Varin were captured by the Hive. The Hive used their mating collars against them to see how much torture they could handle, and they both had extensive integrations with hive technology. When they reached the Colony, Thomar was out of control and only Dr. Surnen could help bring him back. Thomar and Varin had only just gotten away from the Hive when they were matched with Danika.

The Story: Thomar didn’t think he was capable of controlling himself and feared for his mate. He did not want to have a legacy of having hurt a human female. Thomar wanted to unlink himself from Varin so Varin could take their mate and get a new second. That would kill Thomar, so Danika rebelled against that and put on her collar so she could feel their pain. She decided that her and Varin would change Thomar’s mind.

This story was super steamy and I really liked the characters. There was more information on the kinds of things the Hive was doing to some of their captives. The world building was terrific, and I really like the world of the Colony. Though I kind of wish there was a bit more emphasis on the things the Hive tech did for the cyborgs (it is tech and it sometimes makes the male stronger, but I wish it was all explained a bit better).

This audiobook was told in dual points of view via dual narration. It was narrated by Tor Thom and Avery Reid. Tor Thom is one of my favorite male narrators. He has a deep, almost otherworldly sounding voice which is perfect for alien romance. Avery Reid has a very pleasant, soft and feminine voice which sounds age appropriate for Danika.

Loved this one!!

I really enjoyed this one. Thomar and Varin have been held captive by the hive for over 2 years and been experimented on during that time. They have now escaped and destroyed the hive base and are now dealing with the aftermath. Thomar is in massive pain all the time and ready to die but Varin wants him to hold on and wants the mate that they have been matched to. Danika has been in prison for years as well and has now made the choice to enter the program and is hopeful for her match and a happy ending. When she arrives she gets a surprise when she is told that Thomar is ready to die and only Varin shows up to get her. I loved her fight and refusal to give up and quit though. She pushes for her time and to have a shot and puts her mating collar on. I loved the way that this one developed and it had some twists and turns and possible developments with the hive as well so super excited for what is coming next.
The narrators did a great job with the story and characters.

Best one yet!

This author just keeps getting better all the time. I've been through her stories 3 times so far.

Best so far

Lots of plot and not the usual hero. Nice double twist. The usual heaping amount of smut, which is why I read these books. The voices were fine, no annoying ticks by either. Overall very pleased.

FAVORITE

This is my favorite out of all the books. I really wanted this to be longer. Great character development and story. Dang it I want to know what happens next. I recommend this story because you'll get eac character and what they each went through.

Great story!

Grace Goodwin never fails to amaze me!!! She continues to find new and exciting ways for new brides to find and meet their perfect match!!! Absolutely loved narrators too!!!

Great Story!

I really enjoyed how this story was written. So much passion and drive. I love how Danika fights for her mates! I really enjoyed the narrators as well. I think this Male narrator is my favorite.

Great story, and very good narrators!

Another fabulous book by Grace Goodwin. I love how she can come at the books from so many different angles, and still capture your heart! This one was well read, and definitely worth listening to again!

I finally got wise and went to the author’s website.

I finally got wise and went to the author’s website. There is a list putting all books in the Interstellar Brides Universe in Chronological Reading Order Across Series which is almost impossible (time consuming) through Audible.

This was an exceptionally happy ending. The ending made me cry happy tears.
