Red Sands

Warlords of Atera, Book 1

By: Celia Kyle

Narrated by: Natalie Eaton

She's on the run from a violent past. He solves his problems with a sword. 

Fleeing a life of abuse, Sheri climbs aboard a mail-order-mate spaceship bound for a distant station but never arrives.... Fate intervenes, and her trip takes a quick, deadly turn when she crashes on the planet Atera. She's surrounded by endless sand dunes, dangerous creatures, and alien beings that remind her of Earth lizards. But one particular lizard hardly leaves her thoughts - a sexy, two-legged, muscular male bent on protecting and caring for her at all costs. 

Drazan is a fierce warrior, the strongest Ateran of the Red Sands. He rules his dunes with an iron fist and sharp sword and is honor bound to face all challengers to his position. During one of these battles, something strange happens. Fire rains from the skies, and a strange, black metal box filled with females crashes to the sands. All thoughts of fighting are lost to the allure of these odd humans - especially one deliciously curvy female who stirs his blood. Now, he finds himself with dark yearnings, strong need, and a hardness between his legs that he's never used before.

Contains mature themes.

Not worth a credit

The heroine was so annoying and I don’t like the narrative. The word “ my code” instead of “my mate” threw my off completely. Nevertheless, I managed to finished the book with great difficulty.

very little smut

it has very smut but the over all story and slow burn is good

How cute

It was a cute little story about intergalactic love due to close proximity. Not dramatic but satisfying

Omg!!!! another one

The main female character is so bullheaded ,argumentative,unappreciative, and just an all out dummy. She sets off for space to find a husband then crash land on a planet, a sand planet with creatures in the sand very dangerous place. the inhabitants come to help her and what does she do? she argue

Jr High level

Review of audiobook borrowed thru Audible Plus.
The world building, the tactics, the storyline are all junior high level. Especially the duels or battles. They might as well be slapping each other and pulling their hair. It’s truly annoying and I can’t recommend.
The narrator is equal to that level.
