Vork

Mail-Order Brides of Crakair, Book 1

By: Ava Ross

Narrated by: Teddy Hamilton, Tawnia Murray

He's cocky, seven feet tall, scaly, and green. She's been burned in the past. Can an alien and a human woman find true love together?

Burned by an ex, the last thing Evie wants is a husband, especially a seven-foot-tall, green-skinned alien. But when she applies to the Extraterrestrial Matchmaking Service on a dare, she's paired with Vork and sent to Crakair as a mail-order bride. Vork is big and dangerous, and he hits all her buttons. Passion sparks between them, but does she dare trust this sexy alien with her heart?

As a career spacefleet commander, the last thing Vork has time for is a mate. But after a mix-up, he's matched with a human female. He decides he'll produce a child with her, then get back to his life in the stars. Until he touches Evie and a matebond flares on his palm. When a rival warlord challenges Vork and Evie is the prize, Vork will have to decide: give Evie up, or battle to the death to claim her as his bride.

Vork is book one in the Mail-Order Brides of Crakair series, but it can be enjoyed as a stand-alone.

Short, nice Alien story.

This book would not be something I'd describe as original or with a gripping plot, but it was a nice transition between heavier books, a palate cleanser.
The world building was minimal and not at all hard to understand. The characters pretty straightforward, with not too much depth.
It has its funny moments, especially with the cat Silas, the language barrier and the culture differences. It had several spicy scenes but they were a bit repetitive and the female narrator did not do them justice imo.
Vork was a nice character and Evie was funny and strong willed, but I disliked the constant comparisons she made between Vork and her ex.
It was an unnecessary way to add unnecessary angst between the mcs.
I don't think I will buy the second book, but I do recommend this one since it was in the plus catalogue.

A solid, sweet romance with some spicy fun

Overall, I was very pleased with this book. It was well written, the story was intriguing, and I wanted to see more. I'll probably pick up the next in the series later on down the line. The characters were kind, the spicy scenes were fun, and the conflict wasn't overwrought. The main conflict in the story made sense and was definitely something to get worked up about, but not world ending, and that kept things feeling very personal and down to earth (or crakair, hah!). If you want something with a huge and complex story with world altering events, this is not the book for you. If you want a story that focuses on the personal lives of the characters, this is right up your alley.

Good book

I enjoyed this book, but I felt like I was missing something. This is the first in the series, but there must be some before it in the world setting because there are other characters that interact that have their story already told.

Wonderful

Loved it. I hope to enjoy the rest of the series. Good read by Ava Ross.

It was good

It was better than I thought it would be and I am definitely getting Bryk

Love it🥰🥰🥰🥰

Narrators were great! The story was really good. very funny also. That translator sure did get a lot of words mixed up.🤣🤣🤣

im shook lol

LOVED IT AND CANT WSIT TO START THE NEXT BOOK.IM HOOKED AND INTRIGURED YES

Disappointed

The story has potential and so much could have been done with it. Too much emphasis on f*****g. I like listening to Teddy narrate, but not Tawnia, there’s no emotional inflection or difference in character’s voices.

good

I wish not so much sex, but more great story. sex is not the end all .

Enjoyed It!

Definitely enjoyed the storyline. I have found a new author to follow! 🥰 The male reader is terrific! I love how he reads with emotion…the female reader could be better.
