Resumen del Editor

I expected something to go wrong during this expedition but I didn't expect him.

This planet was supposed to be unpopulated. Well, someone needs to be fired, because there are freaking barbarians here! And they aren't exactly friendly.

But then there's Garath. He's different from the rest. There's something about his devilish horns, his striking tattoos, and his possessive stare that sets my body on fire.

Problem is, his people are a bit hostile toward outsiders, and who can blame them? They've been hunted across the galaxy for years. But until I find my radio, I'm stuck here at their mercy. That typically doesn't bode well for a single fertile female—Garath's saved me from certain death before, but can he protect me from his own tribe? There's only one way he can make sure nobody else touches me.

He has to claim me for himself.

He has to make me his queen.

Barbarian King's Mate is an alien sci-fi romance, from the new Warriors of the Lost Planet series of standalone books. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a very happily ever after is guaranteed.

science

Two cultures clash as flora and fauna that exist on a planet fight for dominance and survival. Prejudice and traditions war with understanding and lust.

Adventurous!

The FMC isn't the only one far from home! I love how they're all stranded on this planet that's not yet home to any of them but they'll make it home in the end!

Enjoyable Exoplanet Romp

I loved this. I was a little worried the "oh no, I'm a human lost on a strange planet" would be too much for the story to handle, but it was dealt with gracefully (by author and voice artist both). Garath and Daphne butt heads from the moment of his rescuing her to the very end and its bonus epilogue. Science versus tribal civilization, blushing beauty versus horned and tattooed alien. I enjoyed the two sides of the narration, the perspective changing from a tech-minded human woman lost in a jungle she was ready to study but perhaps not quite so up close to the barbarian warrior prince with his desire to do the right thing by his mate, even if what he thinks that might be is thick-headed stupidity on his part. She has to catch up from being the brilliant protege safely in her mentor's shadow pretty darned quick, but with a massive muscled hunk to keep her safe, maybe it's not so bad? I liked their mixed messages, not so much as to be true miscommunication (which might have been a little much given how differing these two were), but rather trying to do their best and not really knowing how to bridge the gap between them. I enjoyed the story and I think anyone looking for a scifi romantic fling would enjoy Garath and Daphne's story.

Good

This was a good Alien adventure. I liked the storyline and the characters, it was adventurous and kept me interested. The narrative was good. I am excited for more.
