Prisoner

Raider Warlords of the Vandar, Book 8

By: Tana Stone

Narrated by: Marcio Catalano, Aubrey Vincent

What’s more dangerous than joining the Vandar to crush the Zagrath? Being taken captive by the deadly creatures who rule the sector—and consider prisoners to be expendable.

Cassie is eager to join her fellow resistance fighters when they team up with the Vandar hordes, but working on the Vandar ship means she's now colleagues with the tough aliens and answers to the new warlord, Raas Aydan. She's used to the Vandar being scary, but the Lost Vandar are different, and she's never had a man look at her the way Raas Ayden does.

When a mission to the lawless Jarvelon sector goes awry, the Vandar raiders are the least of Cassie's worries. The mercenary gang that captures her and Thea is only interested in trading her to the empire so the Vandar can be lured to their destruction. But when Raas Ayden arrives to rescue her, she realizes that he might be the most dangerous creature after her.

Prisoner is a full-length sci-fi romance novel with a HEA and no cheating. It features steamy scenes in an enemy prison ship, alien horde space battles, and some serious heat.

If you like dominant alien warriors, alien abduction to seduction romance, and fated mates with a happily ever after, you’ll love Prisoner, the eighth book in Tana Stone’s sci-fi romance Raider Warlords of the Vandar series.

Excellent!

Prisoner is the eighth Vandar Sci-Fi Romance with the audio book version capturing all the essence and spirit of the story as another drool worthy alpha warrior finds his human mate.
Raas Aydan and Cassie are the perfect couple only it takes Aydan having Cassie go missing on a mission for the realization to hit him, even though all the signs were there prior, stubborn Vandar. Getting her back is now HIS mission!
Excellent writing, plenty of action, and adventure along with spicy passion made this story another series winner.

Steamy and captivating alien romance

I loved Cassie and Ayden’s slow burn, alien, brainy girl romance with a side of capture. Cassie is a geeky, shy human and a navigator for the Valox resistance. She has been working on a Vandar warbird helping to design the plan to attack the Empire. Ayden is acting as Raas of the Kyrie Vandar while the permanent Raas is visiting one of the hidden colonies. Cassie and Ayden are attracted to one another but neither has acted on the attraction. Cassie and two other females are captured during a mission to the lawless Jarvelon sector and the Vandar must rescue them. There was a great balance of romance and suspense in this book which made it unputdownable. The story was well written and included witty dialogue, three dimensional characters who grow, and an engaging storyline as shown through sweet moments, steamy scenes, fighting, dangerous situations, alien physiology and cultures, painful pasts, drama, snark, plot twists, secrets, and laughs. I could read about Vandar warriors all day especially their reaction to human females. I love them.

Marcio Catalano and Aubrey Vincent did a phenomenal job narrating the stories and characters into life with enough change of inflection, tone and cadence to voice multiple characters quite convincingly. I love the growly Vandar voice.

action

The series is full of action, balanced with humor, and of course the heat that our author does so well!! This book has all of that and keeps the series on course and sets us up for the next book.

Cassie and Ayden

What a wonderful addition to the series. I love Tana Stone’s books and this was no exception. Can’t wait for the next book to come out.

So good!

I really enjoyed this audiobook! The narrators did a great job and the story was awesome.
