Tempting Auzed

Clecanian Series, Book 4

By: Victoria Aveline

Narrated by: Stephen Dexter

Alejandra is a survivor. So far, she's lived through abduction, a near drowning, and being lost in an alien forest. She thought things were finally starting to go her way when the most intense, grumpy, and insanely tempting man she's ever seen rescues her from a monster. But sadly, that's just when everything gets even more complicated.

Auzed has his orders. He is to find the missing human and deliver her to Tremanta. Getting caught trespassing in Sauven territory was not part of the plan. Neither was pretending to be the sexy beauty's fiancé to protect her from forced marriage to a Sauven stranger . . . but here they are.

Their relationship was supposed to be fake. But it's not long before they start to wonder if true love and a happily ever after is possible for two star-crossed opposites. And if it is . . . just how far are they willing to go to claim it?

Contains mature themes.

Delicious as always!!!

This one rivals Chosing Theo for me. I loved thisbone so much!!!! There's spice and sweetness and a wonderful plot and character building. I can't even fully put into words how great this book is!!! also, this narrstor- YUUUMMMMY!!!! Seriously this is another in this series that is now my go to favorite read!

Victoria Aveline is a wonderful author.

I have really enjoyed this series, exceptionally well written, performance is wonderful as well.

Excellent!

One of the best in the series! Plenty of action, romance, anticipation, and character! Love, and recommend full heartedly!

Loved!

Ugh this audiobook was like a warm hug! It was so sweet and worked out so well I couldn’t have wanted more for the story. Auzed was simply yummy with his grumpy self while Alex was a ball of sunshine all things considered. The addition of Wilson was just perfection! Absolutely loved this one. On to the next!

One of my favorites!

One of my favorites in the Clecanian series. It took a while to warm up to Auzed, but the storyline kept me wondering what was going to happen up until the last couple of chapters. Another amazing performance, too!

Keeps my heart warm

Take me to Clecania now! I wish that the real world would take after one thing or two, to say the least 🥹

Love it down!!!

I didn’t have high hopes as Luka and Verrako’s mates were irksome… they complained and whined too much, it was a little hard but Alejandra was fun and a breath of fresh air! I thought this was pretty good! Don’t get me wrong the whole series so far was great! Just those two books together back to back can be tiring! lol overall! Loved it!

Ending seemed rushed

overall really good, but the ending seemed rushed. I just expected either an earlier bond or a little more time once the were back and separated for things to develop. Honestly at this point this family would be under a microscope for all the mate bonding considering only one other person has formed a bond vs the 3 out of the same family. Just surprised that wasn't even a slight note in the story.

Welcome to The Marriage Games! Auz & Alex

“I’m not a bionic woman”
Book 4 regains the spark I got listening to book 1, as impulsive, pop-culture loving Latina Alejandra shakes up rule following Auzed/Zed. This book has more action and humor, providing a better ratio of camp to story. There are very occasional F💣, a little LBGTQ positivity, and growly good times narrated with Stephen Dexter’s deliciously dark voice. There’s slightly more nooky than the last two books, although you still have to wait until halfway before the naughty times start (mouthy at 5hrs, fingery “oh my!” at 6rs, finally! at 7, and growly greatness at 9j.

“Kevin’s a girl?!”
I appreciate the level of thought in creating a world with a variety of aliens (some with tails, some with horns, etc) and different cultures which all elevate women in unique ways. This book features the Sauvens, aliens with tails whose males compete in a kinder type of Hunger Games, battling each other in games of physical and mental strength to prove their worth for marriage. The Tremantian version of a marriage mart also makes a return, so it helps if you’ve heard book 1 for a more detailed explanation of that ritual. The little ways the author flips gender norms is fun too, like with the men being the ones to glam up or wear revealing clothes to attract mates.

“Your internal compass always points towards hero, doesn’t it?”
I am thankful that the author creates conflict that comes from external sources more than from him being an alpha-hole or her insecurity rushing to misjudge. Auzed may be a stick in the mud rule follower, but it comes from a place of honor. So, on top of the fun and the heat, this book rocks the heart as well. Bravo!

Love this series!🌟🔥💖

This was one of the best in the series Auzed is the very formal and a bit uptight guard who is in charge of the Pearl temple where the Earth females are living. his queen has asked him to join the search for two females that were abused by scientists and when they escaped fled into the jungle. of course he does his duty but he's not aware just how life altering this assignment is really going to be. Alex fun loving earth female who love movies and being social with friends is lost after being separated from Lilly. she dies okay on her own to a point and then her life changes overnight and with never be the same. when Auzed finds her she's being chased by a dangerous creature out to killed her then she's rescued and her life may never be her own again..danger political intrigue, and deep personal baggage surround Alex and Auzed can they over come their differences and still love one another can they get themselves out of a very dangerous situation with out causing a war you need to listen for yourself. Stephen Dexter does a top notch job on the narration and brings the story and the characters to life loved it 💖🔥🌟🔥💖
