Publisher's summary

Long have we been alone; without brides, without females to warm us during the long nights, without sweet mates.

But we see them from afar, the brides that could be ours. Kept away from us by walls and weapons. Females we long for greatly...obsessively. Human females. And the one with red hair? I want her. I saw her first.

I will fight to the death for her. She is mine. So, we’ll come together and make an exchange with their men that will benefit us all. After that? To the winner goes the spoil. Let the hunt begin...but the red-headed female is mine.

Viper is the first book in Naga Brides, a series about bride-hunting aliens with the charm of a snake, the wiles of the devil, and the will to do anything for their females.

Different Aliens

Wow, I enjoyed the nagas being on earth. My curiosity triggers the desire to learn how they came to be. Are they from the eggs? I love the male narrator’s voice and execution of a snake speaking English. I appreciated hearing the naga’s story. They make for interesting mates.

Not going to judge the series on this first book

I feel like Naomi Lucas just needed to commit to a Omegaverse story instead of this pale imitation of one. It is somewhat rapey and the consent or the 'I'm ok with this' always comes after the sex, almost like things are out of order. Then there is the knotting, the rutting, and the passing mention of going into heat but all done in this noncommittal way hence the knockoff Omegaverse feel. Since I recently relistened to the Milana Jacks Alpha Hord series, it's hard not to see some missed opportunities in the story due to the lack of just going all in.

I did like the world building. I both loved and hated the characters and gave the FMC a lot of leeway since this is thousands of years in the future with life being limited to missing a futuristic history and only her experiences being life on a starship. But yeah, the irony was not lost on me when the career communications officer states that communication is hard.

In general I mostly enjoyed it and the narrators and I'm down for the series. Hopefully the next book King Cobra will give the male a different personality at the very least to make it more compelling.

Absolutely loved this!

I love this series and bought the audiobook series to listen to when I’m busy. I loved both of the narrators! Loved the voices and they did an amazing job! I definitely recommend

Interesting Characters in wild love story.

Viper’s wild love given to Gemma that saves her from male crew of her ship. Gemma is forced to accept the new life on a revitalized Earth as Viper’s mate. But, both find passion in the arms of the other & it can not be denied.

Not for me. Loved the spice tho,...

So you will love this if you enjoy alien romance where the guy is more animal than man, and has a snake body,.... no legs and he's super forceful with the seggsy times- I mean there's definite sketchy consent,... that was too much for me, but if thats your thing, then this is the book for you :) the spice scenes are frequent and pretty detailed, they're great. This just was not my favorite for sure.

Interesting

Interesting series, not a waste of time or money.
The only con with this series is, the males have no legs..
so, the story is great but a legless man is cringeworthy as in uuugh.

hot and scaley

I really liked this story. the male voice was perfect and i like the dominace in the male. It was peppered with feeling, empathy,compassion and growth. The female narrator took me a bit longer to adjust to.

I'm usually not a fan of overarching stories where the plot develops between multiple books unless its the same characters. however this does have an ending so it's not nessacary to keep reading.

Such A Beautiful Story!!!

Vruksha was amazing! I'd love to listen Naga Bride 2 so badly! Want to know what happens between Daisy and Zaku!!! 🤩🤩🤩
Always love snakes and other reptiles! As always wonderful story!!! ❤

Ok

Book was okay but didn’t hold my attention as others in this genre. Narrators did a good job with characters; as best they could with storyline. I like a little humor added to the story.

Nice

I didn’t think I was going to like this series of books but from the first one which for me is this book I was hooked. So far I have listened to all that is available and waiting for the new one to come out.
