Beast Unburdened

An Alien Gladiator Romance

By: Robin O'Connor

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

First, they abduct me from Earth. Now, they want to use me as his breeding stock.

Abigail

Space-napped, that was my weekend. Work one day, outer space the next. And these slavers aren’t playing around, I'm designated as an ideal match for an eight foot tall beast, covered in green scales and a pair of sharp horns to boot.

He’s terrifying. He’s a killer. A gladiator.

But he's the only thing standing between me and a fate worse than death. Working together is our only chance at freedom and I'll do what I’ve got to do… Every Beast needs a Beauty, and in the dark of the night, maybe I can be his.

Ziame

I catch her scent before I see her. A female.

All my instincts demand I claim her, protect her, make her mine. But this female is frightened and we are prisoners. The only option left is breaking our shackles and taking this spaceship as our own.

Inside the ring and out of it, I'll fight for us both until my dying breath to prove that even a beast like me can be worthy of her love.

Beast Unburdened is a full-length standalone sci-fi romance featuring hot alien gladiators, some more beastly than others, a strong heroine with a fierce attitude, and the biggest beast with the softest heart.

it's a pretty good series

I do have to say I wish they'd make virtual voice in both male and female voices so you don't get confused but overall I like this series. It starts off a bit slow, but the second book sucked me in. They say they are stand alone but should really be read in Order since the story progresses. I feel like the stories get better and more exciting with each book. Here's the order: enjoy 😉

Great SciFi story

An exciting science fiction story. I couldn’t stop listening. Very well developed characters . The AI reading was poorly done. It was hard to tell which character was speaking since same voice was used for a character male , female, human, or alien .

Love the Crew

I’m so happy that the gladiators escaped and are trying to restart their lives. It was exciting and scary when they attempted to make some money. And Abigail realizing how much she loved her beast was so sweet and sexy!

the virtual voice is weird

the storyline is meh but what makes it worse is the almost blah virtual voice narrater. its like listening to a college lecture from a profesor who doesnt want to be there himself. its also a little like listening to well AI read something lacking emotion and real human inflection.

There was no distinction between the male and female voice.

I liked the story even though it was sometimes hard to follow. I would take a couple of sentences in before I knew who was speaking.
