Wed to the Alien Gladiator

Accidental Alien Brides, Book 4

By: January Bell

Narrated by: Mason Lloyd, Hollie Jackson

Things were improving between us…that is, until he got the bright idea to kidnap me.

I never thought I’d be tricked into an arranged marriage with an alien warlord. Still, it’s been easy enough to keep my former gladiator husband at arm’s length. But once my translator starts working, the hulking himbo decides he’s tired of waiting and freaking kidnaps me.

I wake up in a picturesque seaside village, and the big lug is only too happy to inform me that it’s all part of his plan to give us time to fall in love. Strangely enough, it turns out he was listening when I told him I loved historical mysteries. He’s brought me to Sueva’s own unsolved mystery: a once-thriving town where all occupants vanished without a trace.

My overthinking brain is all too easily sucked into the riddle—and maybe even the idea of Alvez. Except, the reason the villagers disappeared? It’s not stuck in the past, and we’re in trouble. If Alvez and I want to escape the same fate, we’ll have to rely on each other...and I’ll have to stop overanalyzing my feelings about him.

Enjoyable listen

So far I love this series. Laugh a lot when the aliens have a hard time understanding human slang. Also enjoy their adventures. Hope the rest of the service will be available soon and the spin off one as well. Migraines makes reading difficult.

Awesomeness!!

There are few books I listen to twice. This is funny, flirty, and sexy. Love it!!

Ok

The storyline was different; but similar to other books in this genre. It had many funny moments. The narrators did a good job.

wonderful balance

Loved it, balanced romandeand steam,great story, great characters. And there is a very smart dog.

Wed to the gladiator

Interesting story a good plot. Glad the story line had some twists and turns. Wasn’t my favorite but it was definitely enough to keep me interested to the end.

The return of the demon sex snails

“No, I’m not going to stay here. Where you go, I go. Haven’t you seen a horror movie before?”
Michelle suffers from panic attacks, so of course karma sends her down a horror path to her HEA.
Not to worry, however, as this series does horror just like everything else: with laughter and love.

“This is a weapon of mass orgasm destruction!”
Alvez is a bit too earnest, and then a bit too into his pity party, but overall this was still a great story.
I loved the effort and attention that Alvez brought to accumulating things he thought his wife would adore.

What’s that Lassie?”
We can add fantastic animal sidekicks to the formula that I’m loving in this series.
And demon sex snails. What would this be without the return of the demon sex snails?

Wanted just a bit more

I love this series and I might just have to binge it on Kindle and come back to the audiobooks since there is such a delay getting these to Audible.

As for this book, I liked it but didn't love it. I was disappointed that we didn't get more background or personality for the Gladiator. He was sweet, but very one dimensional to me. His past was glossed over and it could've been used to build up the larger world building story arc that was shoved in at the end. It was a missed opportunity to me.

Aside from that, there was still a good bit of laugh out loud moments and sweet romance. Also I loved the introduction of the Assassin and I hope he stays rakish! So looking forward to his book!

It’s okay

Gonna be honest, I can’t get into the male narrator. I honestly have to push myself to listen to his chapters.

Plus, they totally glossed over the Gladiator’s history. A missed opportunity in my book.

I’m REALLY looking forward to the Assassin’s story. He’s my kind of wicked.
