Ruling Sikthand

Clecanian, Book 7

By: Victoria Aveline

Narrated by: Stephen Dexter

Sophia never thought she was unlucky until she was kidnapped by aliens. Twice . . .

Sophia had simple expectations for her planetary tour. She assumed she'd see the sights, meet new people, and fend off her boredom. She never thought she'd end the trip as an alien captive. But here she is, the guest of a grumpy, sexy, warrior king who looks at her like he's not sure if he wants to kill her, or claim her as his own . . .

Sikthand hadn't planned to take the stubborn little human hostage. But with political tensions at an all-time high, he had no choice. He would unflinchingly use her as a bargaining chip to secure better relations with the new Tremantian ruler. He would not, however, fall prey to her charms. No matter how tempting she might be . . .

When Sophia and Sikthand realize how far their enemies are willing to go to grab galactic power, they're forced into an unlikely alliance-and possibly a marriage of convenience-to protect their people. It's a good plan, too . . . if they don't do anything irrational along the way. Like falling in love . . .

Contains mature themes.

Probably the best one in the whole series! Marriage of convenience, Grumpy paranoid MMC, sunshine and very curious FMC, and the attraction between them that is not instant instant, but actually develops over time!

And let’s be honest our MMC know how to use ALL his body parts to bring pleasure!

My favorite

All I can say is, everything I don't think you can top one story you top the story!!

GOD THESE BOOKS!!

With every book I fall I love with the series more and more more I can’t wait for the next book an see what will happen next an whos adventures we’ll be able to go on!!

sikthands broodyness

another great adventure Veronica! can't wait for the next one in the series and who falls in love.

Sikthands's redemption

I've been impatiently waiting for this book. This whole series has been one of my favorites. I mean who doesn't love the hot, dangerous, damaged and brooding alien males that love deep and are actually surprised they get their happily ever after.
Sikthand and Sophia's love story was good from the start. They both knew that they were attracted to each other but struggled with the history of betrayal, assassin attempts and a broken heart. Sikthand lived his life suspicious of everyone to the point of paranoia. Sophia's love brought life to his dismal and lonely world.
As with each book in this series I was sad it ended and just want more.
Now Stephen Dexter. Mmmmm I'm a huge fan. Huge! I think he brought out each character perfectly. It's easy to recognize the different personalities and you can almost imagine their back stories. He's narrated each book in this series and brought them to life. I've read all of them and trust me the voice in my head doesn't even compare.
Even tho I prefer male narrators to female because there's nothing worse than masculinity sounding feminine. Don't judge that's just my personal opinion. Sometimes I wonder what goes thru their minds when their performance includes the sexy times that most of us women fantasize about... I'm sure there are men out there that should read at least one romance book.
Excellent job!

Love this series

Enemies to lovers and tattoos!! This is one of my favorites of the series. Wish it was in duet but other than that excellent.

Laughed and Cried

This story absolutely moved me. There were times I cried, even yelling I became so enveloped in the story. Other times I laughed and grinned in delight. absolutely love this story. don't miss it. and I'm really loving the backstory that's going on with the alien planet and what they are going to do with Earth and the humans that are on this planet. I definitely can't wait to find out where the back story leads.

Why are my eyes wet?

Oh got this series is amazing! There isn’t a bad one! I keep telling myself that it can’t get better but it always does!

This one, this one right here.

He’s moody broody perfection. She’s smart, strategic, and knows how to see through his emotional armor. Personally, this is the best story in the series for me, I loved them so much.

Keeps getting better and better!

This entire series is outstanding but this one is my favorite so far. Stephen Dexter brought tears with his gut wrenching performance.
