Loved this book!!!

I really enjoyed this Box Set. I previously read His Mate to Keep and I loved it. Barbarian King's Bride was a really interesting story. I enjoyed all the creatures and their descriptions. The Alien Beast's Mate was an interesting read. I enjoy Ivy Sparks writing. Azalea Blau did amazing with the audiobook.

Great box set

I thought this was a great box set. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the audio version of these books. Just as good the 2nd time around.

Great Series

I really enjoyed reading this series, and listened to the first two books on audio. I got the opportunity to get my hands on the complete boxset so I could listen to the last book. Azalea Blau does a good job bringing these characters to life. I'll post my original reviews for them all below:

Barbarian King's Mate

While I've read other books by Ivy Sparks, I haven't listened to any on audiobook, so I was excited to give this one a listen (and I hadn't read it before, either).

I enjoyed this story. After losing her parents on a space expedition, Daphne never thought she would meet the same fate until doing some research on a planet that turns out to not be as uninhabited as stated. Rescued by alien prince Garath doesn't make her much safer against the cold edict of his father and king who executes outsiders after the genocide that happened to their people. It was an interesting story that riveted me. I like both Garath and Daphne- though I found she could be very stubborn. As much as I liked how the ceremony they were forced to do was handled and loved the connection that rose up between them, I felt- as least in audiobook- that it went on way too long. I mean, I got bored during a powerful intimate scene and am just waiting for them to finally finish and get on with it lol

I listened to this audiobook narrated by Azalea Blau and thought she did a good job. I liked that I could tell the difference in the female characters' voices between Daphne, Garath's sister, and even Dr. Philippa. I also really liked her 'male' voices for Garath and even Zigsir. Usually when a female narrator is doing a male voice, it just sounds like a woman speaking in a deep voice or mimicking a male voice. I didn't feel that way here, so it didn't draw me out of the story.

Overall: 4 stars
Performance: 4 stars
Story: 4 stars

His Mate to Keep

I loved this book. Great world building and wonderful characters. I actually liked this book even more than the first one. I loved both Xavier and Merrit. The story was interesting from the start as Merrit was trying to get the other males in charge of their pirate ship to see her reasoning about needing to salvage parts. I loved how she stepped up with reason and intelligence- before danger struck. Even after captured, she was a fighter and always trying to find a way out. I liked even early on, Xavier tried to advise and help her, unlike the other males who only saw an attractive female in their lab/prison. Despite the possibility of his whole species being dead, all his fighting and planning without success, and no way out unless rescued, he didn't break or give up hope.

I liked the way their relationship developed. They bonded quickly to survive and attempt to escape the horrible prison/lab and the experiments forced on them. Merrit is a smart and brave heroine. She never gives up and isn't afraid of a fight. She is inventive and quick thinking, and definitely holds her own. Xavier is strong and smart. He knows how to survive, bides his time, and knows how to fight and defend. I was cheering for these two from the beginning. An exciting fast paced book with action, suspense, and romance. I loved it and recommend it.

Azalea Blau did a great job with her narration and bringing these characters to life. I loved her different voices for the different characters- even the males. I'm looking forward to the next book.

Overall: 5 stars
Performance: 5 stars
Story: 5 stars

The Alien Beast's Mate

This story was an interesting adventure. Hazel is an IPA peace office sent to check out the Trozolla system after reports of unrest. The ship is rusty and run-down looking, and the crew mysteriously are all armed for a mission that shouldn't have been dangerous. Valmore is her alien bodyguard. But unbeknownst to her, there is a plot for the crew to hold him and Hazel hostage for a ransom. Val is promised no one will get hurt, but then the plan doesn't go exactly as it was supposed to. Can Val keep Hazel safe? Will she still trust him when she finds out he was a part of it all along? What happens when feelings start to develop between them?

The bond between Hazel and Val is pretty instant. I wish I could have seen them bond a little more naturally to really drive up the emotional stakes of this story. But the story had action and suspense and was paced well. 4 stars.

Steamy, but not over-the-top

Spoiler-Free Summary of the Trilogy:

This trilogy is a high-octane blend of action-packed sci-fi, sizzling romance, and emotional stakes. Each book centers around a strong human heroine who finds herself thrown into perilous situations across alien worlds, only to encounter a fated alien mate. From barbarian warriors to space pirates and reluctant bodyguards, the trilogy delivers adventure, rich world-building, and intense, steamy moments.

I dove into this series expecting an entertaining mix of adventure and steamy romance, and it delivered exactly that—along with a surprising amount of depth in certain moments. Ivy Sparks knows how to balance alien intrigue with emotional storytelling, and Azalea Blau’s narration elevated the whole experience.

From the moment Daphne gets captured by scorpion-like aliens in Barbarian King's Mate to the harrowing escape scenes in His Mate to Keep and the tangled loyalties of The Alien Beast's Mate, there’s never a dull moment. The themes of survival, loyalty, and love across species really pulled me in.

Favorite Moments:

• Barbarian King's Mate: When Garath defies his father to protect Daphne, risking exile. That moment hit hard with its emotional weight and his unwavering loyalty. My Fav quote that had me smiling "If I have to burn a thousand galaxies to keep you safe, I’ll do it. And I’ll smile while I watch them burn." – Garath 😈

• His Mate to Keep: The prison break! The way Merrit and Xavier fought side by side, blending brains and brawn, was thrilling.

• The Alien Beast's Mate: Hazel’s confrontation with Valmore when she learns of his betrayal. The tension was so thick, and their reconciliation was heartfelt and raw.

I will say the intense and graphic depiction of the experiments in His Mate to Keep took me by surprise. It was darker than I anticipated, and the stakes felt incredibly real.

Azalea Blau’s narration is fantastic. She brought unique voices to every character, making it easy to differentiate between them. Her ability to convey emotion, especially in the more intense or steamy scenes, was spot-on. The male voices were convincing, which isn’t always easy for female narrators.
My only minor critique? Some pacing in emotional scenes felt a touch rushed, but it didn’t detract much from the overall experience.

Would I Recommend It?

Absolutely, especially if you enjoy sci-fi romance with high stakes, badass heroines, and a sprinkle of humor. Just brace yourself for some intense moments along the way.

So Many Aliens For So Few Credits

Gleeful Goblin Review: I'm so thrilled that this author put together a 3-pack of stories on Audible. I've read the books before and had a great time, especially with the first in the series and the other two stories are just as great to listen to. Great excuse to pick up a lot of alien for very little money. From Book 1: This is a lighthearted feeling adventure romance that's told dual POV by a single narrator. The story can best be summed up as "a series of terrible ideas that eventually work out but it's a journey". Our FMC is part of a two person exploratory mission on the planet that our MMC's people have made their home on. She runs into unfriendly wildlife and is rescued by our MMC. The expression about love about fools rush in where angels fear to tread holds true from their first moments. Even though our MMC is the son of the king of his people....forward thinking and planning is not his strong suit. He leads with his heart and other parts for sure.

This is an easy, steamy, fun listen. 5/5 Stars.

Yum!

I love how these books are all connected, with the bad guys chasing down all the members of their race, and them all needing to look for a sanctuary. I think the narrator is getting better, I liked her voices in this series more than Sparks' previous ones.

Alien-human couples fighting for love and survival

Story review:

A collection of three interwoven stories that delve into the struggles, romances, and heroics of humans and Kavians as they battle for survival in a dangerous galaxy.

Barbarian King's Mate:
Daphne (h) never expected her research mission to an alien planet to turn into a fight for survival. When her mentor is killed by deadly creatures known as the Vorlax, Daphne is rescued by Garath (H), a fierce Kavian warrior, who takes her to safety in his people's hidden community despite their aversion to outsiders. Garath brings Daphne before his father, King Narrock, but to save her, Garath claims Daphne as his mate, and they perform a steamy bonding ritual, cementing their connection in the eyes of the Kavian people. Together, they face relentless threats from the Ranxi, who have biologically modified the Vorlax to destroy the Kavians. Daphne's scientific knowledge becomes their best weapon, and she earns the trust and respect of Garath's people. As danger builds, Daphne must decide between returning to Earth or embracing her place beside Garath. Hot and steamy alien-human adventure romance.

His Mate to Keep:
Chief engineer Merrit (h) works on a pirate spaceship, the Starglider, that is attacked, and Merrit is captured and imprisoned by mysterious experimenters. In the lab, she meets Xavier (H), a battle-hardened Kavian prisoner who tries to help her adjust to her imprisonment. Xavier and Merrit endure various ordeals in the lab, including invasive examinations and forced mating, during which they form a deep bond, and Xavier realizes Merrit is his fated mate. Together, they manage to escape the lab, crash-landing on a jungle-covered planet. Injured but determined, they must rely on each other to survive in the wilderness, eventually encountering a hidden community of Kavians, led by Garath and Daphne. The Kavians welcome them, Merrit and Xavier learn that their Ranxi captors are creating hybrid creatures to conquer other civilizations. Merrit’s technical skills become crucial in defending their new home, and their relationship deepens as they prepare for impending attacks against their newfound home in the Kavian community. Hot and steamy alien-human adventure romance.

The Alien Beast's Mate:
Intergalactic Peace Alliance (IPA) officer Hazel (h) is on a mission to investigate unrest in the Trozolla system, accompanied by Valmore (H), a massive alien from the Kavian race, but is initially a part of the ship crew's plot to kidnap her for ransom. Despite his original intentions, Valmore grows conflicted about the plan, especially as he begins to care deeply for Hazel. When the crew attempts to kidnap her, Valmore intervenes, claiming Hazel as his mate to protect her. This act, initially a ploy, develops into a genuine bond as things heat up between the two, and he turns against the crew, escaping with Hazel to a hidden Kavian colony on the planet VXC3, where they face an old enemy intent on wiping out the Kavians and will have to fight to save Valmore's people. Hot and steamy alien-human adventure romance.

Warriors of the Lost Planet contain the tales of these alien-human couples facing daunting challenges, forging deep connections, and fighting against a common enemy. The stories showcase love and courage, illustrating how unity and resilience can triumph over adversity in a galaxy filled with danger.


Audio review:

Narrator Azalea Bleu does a great job with female voices, and a really good job with male voices. I personally prefer duet style narration where a female narrator is used to voice female voices, and a male narrator for male voices - but I've come to appreciate Bleu who's voice works well, even for male voices. Audio quality is good and there were no issues.

3 book boyfriends

I had previously read one of these but having on audible allowed me to read the other two. It is full of spice and adventure!.

Alien romance trilogy

This is a collection of adventurous alien romances.

Barbarian King's mate:
Although I believe these can be read as standalone's, easily, I felt this was a great beginning to the series and worth reading in order (which makes this box set perfect!). The author introduces us to Daphne and Garath. Daphne is on a research mission with her mentor when attacked by dangerous creatures. When her mentor is killed, Garath steps in to save her. Despite his father greatly distrusting aliens, he sneaks her into his villiage. We follow their story as they try to navigate not getting caught, finding out they're fated mates, and staying alive. This one was a fun ride

His mate to keep:
I personally was a big fan of this one. Both Merrit and Xavier are essentially inprisioned together by their captors, who are an alien race experimenting on other species. Xavier's strong will to escape is rekindled when he meets Merrit. She is determined to break out. When thrust together for mating purposes, they band together to plan their escape.

The Alien beast's mate:
In the third book we follow IPA officer Hazel and Valmore. Hazel is on a mission to observe conditions on a planet and report back. Valmore is hired to be her bodyguard. Unfortunately, unknown to her, there is a plot to hold her hostage for credits. When the captain of the ship reveals to Valmore that he intends on selling her instead, Valmore is angry and turns against those who want to hurt Hazel.

Over all I loved the stories and characters. I suggest this book set for those who like fated mates books. The narrator did a great job considering that this is not a dual narrator book. You could easily tell who was speaking.
