The Krinar Captive

By: Anna Zaires, Dima Zales

Narrated by: Roberto Scarlato

Emily Ross never expected to survive her deadly fall in the Costa Rican jungle, and she certainly never thought she'd wake up in a strangely futuristic dwelling, held captive by the most beautiful man she'd ever seen. A man who seems to be more than human.

Zaron is on Earth to facilitate the Krinar invasion - and to forget the terrible tragedy that ripped apart his life. Yet when he finds the broken body of a human girl, everything changes. For the first time in years, he feels something more than rage and grief, and Emily is the reason for that. Letting her go would compromise his mission, but keeping her could destroy him all over again.

This is a full-length, standalone romance that takes place approximately five years before The Krinar Chronicles trilogy. You do not have to have listened to that trilogy to enjoy this book.

Alien invasion the prequel...

Emily Ross never imagined she would be out of work and about to die in a foreign country. She never expected to wake and find that she was in perfect health. She never expected to be told of aliens or to be caught in the prequel to an invasion. It should I rephrase and say an alien colonization.

Zaran wanted to be free of his pain. He wanted to be free of his desire for the little human. He wanted to hold on to her forever. He wanted to send her away. He wanted to keep her. Zaran was a Krinar and he was the first wave of exploration for his people.

Roberto Scatloto did an impressive job. I bought it all. His smooth flow from masculine to feminine and the variation. I just feel for his narrative style. Audio is clean, clear, and smooth flowing.

Another good story by Anna Zaires

I liked the story and narrator very much. The only thing keeping me from rating a 5 is that Emily annoyed me quite a bit with how ingrateful she was after having her life literally saved and being healed and brought back from the brink of death. Instead of having some gratitude and maybe a little more appreciation for just being alive, she acts like a spoiled brat and won’t accept having to stay put for a mere two weeks. She was also ridiculously focused on a job interview, rather than having gained some perspective from the near death experience that maybe missing a job interview isn’t the worst thing in the world. The male character was great and patient with her nonsense, maybe more so than he should have been. Other than Emily’s character flaws, I thought the story was really good and quite interesting.

Very good book

The story tells of a woman who’s parents died in a car accident before she was in school. She went to an aunt who was unable to deal with any child much less one traumatized by her loss. She ended up in Foster care until she aged out. She went into the stock market until there was a recession and she was let go. Her 4+ year boyfriend left before that so she went on a vacation.
She should have died in an accident but was saved by a gorgeous extra terrestrial who had the ability to heal her. He had been mated for over 40 years but she had died 8 years before he met this human. They were both terrified of losing someone else that they loved and that caused the angst in the rest of the story.
Very well written and hard to put down.

Another awesome krinar story

it was very touching and believable, I didn't want it to end. They both lost someone dear and so neither one is carrying less baggage

loved the story but....

I wish more than voice had done the performance. a female voice for Emily would have been perfect.
