They plan on making me do what? And… with him?

I’m a space pirate, and that means I’m used to finding myself in some pretty hairy situations. But getting abducted and imprisoned inside a remote experimental lab? Yeah, I think this takes the cake.

Then there’s my neighbor in the cell next door, Xavier. Despite being a smoking hot alien, he’s a brooder with a pronounced contempt for pirates like me. But that distaste can’t hide the look in his eyes when I’m forced to shower in front of him.

Everything changes when our experimenters demand we breed for them. If we ever hope to escape, we’re going to have to play along. But what happens after that? Will Xavier and I return to the loner lives we both once knew?

Or will we discover an unshakable bond neither of us thought was possible?

His Mate to Keep is an alien sci-fi romance, from the Warriors of the Lost Planet series of standalone books. This novel features a spitfire heroine and the sexy alien warrior who seeks to possess her. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a very happily ever after is guaranteed.

His Mate to Keep!

This is the second in the "Warriors of the Lost Planet" series, which I believe can be enjoyed as a stand alone. The story is about Merrit, a human, and Xavier, an alien Cavian male. Merrit, a pirate, whose ship and crew have just been attacked. She is taken hostage by an unknown source where she is a lab rat. Xavier, who is also being held in the same facility, sees her and admires her fight. He tries to make her safe but when they are forced to become an experiment together he knows they must escape. He is a fierce Cavian warrior and big ole teddy bear when it comes to her. He thinks all of his people have died. When he and Merrit land on a mysterious planet he is shocked to see more of his kind. I enjoyed this story! I loved the interactions between Merrit and Xavier. It was also nice to see Daphne and Garath again! I thought the narrator did a good job as well.

Great read

Fun

Fun and spicy. Its a lot to listen too. There were so many cool aspects to this story and sweet moments and moments that made me want to rip my hair out. Xavier sounds like a lot to handle, like in a good way. Merrit is too. She’s headstrong and brave. I listened to the audio so it was a tad hard to keep up, but i liked it.

Loved It

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.

Battle for Love

Merritt’s ship has been attacked and she’s been abducted and dumped into an alien laboratory. There she meets Xavier, who has been trapped in the lab for ages, basically given up hope. Whether they survive to escape depends on whether they can work together. I loved this story - Azalea Blau does a fantastic job of giving everyone a unique voice and telling this story with excellent pacing and drama. Merritt and Xavier were two characters I could really route for, and I loved their happily ever after. A fantastic listen.

I Loved this book!!
