Rescued by the Alien Pirate

Mates of the Kilgari Series, Book 1

De: Celia Kyle, Athena Storm

Narrado por: Noelle Bridges, Tristan James

I woke from cryostasis a prisoner. My crime? I have no idea.

I was stuck with a hundred other women, all headed to who knows where. Captive in a dank, dirty cargo hold. Then, out of the darkness, came Solair.

A handsome alien. Golden skinned. Horned. The dashing captain of a pirate ship. They rescued us - he gave my people food, shelter, and promised us safety. In exchange? He took me for himself.

But the people who captured us, haven't given up. They want us back. They're powerful and will do whatever it takes to find us. The only thing stopping them? Solair.

He wants me. And what he takes...he keeps.

Contains mature themes.

A Purposeful Storyline with Depth: A Promising Start to the Series

I have to say, I really enjoyed this book. While there are some sexual parts, they actually serve a purpose in the story, so they didn’t feel gratuitous. Instead, they’re integrated in a way that makes sense for the narrative. The main female character can be a bit annoying at first, but she acknowledges her flaws, and as the story unfolds, you start to understand why she behaves the way she does, which leads to those “aha” moments. Overall, I liked this first book in the series, and there’s a lot of potential in exploring each new female and male character. I’m definitely looking forward to the next book.

Awful Female Lead

Just as the other reviewers have said, I’m struggling to finish this book. The “heroine” is ungrateful and selfish, rude, and downright stupid. I really want to enjoy the story. I’m enjoying the narration for the most part and the story plot is interesting, but I don’t think I’ll ever finish this book. Maybe I’ll try book 2 to see if that woman is at all tolerable.

ungrateful to the fullest

Damm that woman is beyond annoying n selfish 😒
including her crew no wonder they all got locked up just down right horrible women and why so much drama

great

love this story, it was amazing although a but drawn out. can't wait for another story

Loved the Lack of too Much Drama

I appreciated the storyline and the various personalities of the woman. The narrators did a great job of capturing them. Also, I enjoyed being able to envision what it was like for everyone to adjust to life on the Queen without fighting outsiders.

Interesting premise

Well written but I would have preferred more suspense. The villains are yet even known at the end of book one’s story. Obviously the women can’t go back home but not even a clue about who is behind their frame-up. I got 3 books so I will definitely keep reading the rest of them. I do like the characters so far.

Great story

The ending seemed a bit rushed with a long build up I expected to hear more of the women being wanted by the IHC. I would have like to hear a resolution, but without it the story was still enjoyable.

Not as good as I hoped...

Usually a big fan of Athena's work, was really let down by this one. The heroine is petulant and stubborn to a fault with a need to be in control at all times. Couldn't get past her personality enough to finish the book.

I like the storyline

Great world building. I liked the characters. I can see this expanding well. Excellent narration.

I love Celia’s books but…

These women, especially the heroine had something bad happen to them of course BUT, I have never read anything with more ungrateful, rude, hateful and entitled women. I barely made it through the book because it literally made me feel ashamed to be a woman.
