Alien Mate Index: Volume One by Evangeline Anderson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This is a great boxset of a four-book series. It does contain graphic sexual content.

#1 - Claimed 5*

Very well written book which was very enjoyable to read

This is a very well written book which describes everything in great detail. I found this book addictive so I just know I will be going on to read the whole series. I loved the level of detail about the rituals and thought it added to the story. I did find it a little annoying as the determination to eave went a little too far, but overall I loved the book. Heartily recommended.

#2 - Protected 4*

Alien half-breed Grav N’gol has a past where he was a murderer and ex-convict. He is now a Protector which is much more than a bodyguard as a Protector chooses a female to ward for life and swears an oath to die for her if necessary. He currently has a simple job to do surveillance on an Earth female called Leah Roth - however, when he checks on her he sees something that just enrages him - her abusive husband is hurting her so he swings into action and without thinking he has Leah on his spaceship, so when he gets a difficult and dangerous mission she volunteers to come along and help…and somehow Grav can’t say no. He is drawn to her (as she is to him) but he knows it can never be between them due to his past that would turn her completely against him. He knows that from his past and from his true nature Leah must be... Protected at all costs.

This was a great story. It had lots of drama, danger and action which the characters skillfully navigated through. It was easy to find both Grav and Leah engaging and start to hope for certain events at the end of the story. It was easy to read and understand. Contains graphic sexual content.

#3 - Descended 4*

Medical intern Charlotte Walker is just trying to get through her surgical rotation in one piece when life takes a weird turn - a seven-foot-tall patient with multicoloured eyes and golden skin shows up with a stab wound and she is convinced he is either crazy or high on drugs. However, Kristoff Verrai is not - he is actually the Captain of the Imperial Guard of the Goddess-Empress of the galaxy. The latest one is now dead and he is charged with finding her replacement - and it appears to be Charlotte. She is in danger and he is sworn to protect her, especially until she can travel to ascend the throne. He doesn't mean to fall in love with her because a relationship between them can never be--the Empress must have a Consort with Royal blood and Kristoff is just a commoner. Can they fight the love growing between them? Or will it overwhelm them?

This was a sweet story about love and how sometimes it just cannot be denied because it just cannot be wrong when it is so strong and pure. I liked the sections about corruption in the court and the resolution for them. Well written it was easy to understand and feel with the characters in the story. Contains explicit descriptions of sexual actions.

#4 - Severed 4*

Paralegal Rylee Hale is finding it hard starting her own business as she struggles to attract new clients. Denarins Drace and Lucian belong to a race where to males bond together and then bond with a single woman who they share and care of in every way. Normally it is an Alpha and a Beta who bond together but Drace and Lucian are both Alphas and from opposing clans so when they accidentally bond together so they try to find a Pure One from Earth as allegedly she can break the bond between them. They decide that Rylee is the right girl for them and so they abduct her from Earth determined to break their bond. Fortunately, Rylee is more than capable of looking after herself. The question is, once she gets a taste of being bonded to two sexy men who want to please her in every way, will she be able to stand by and watch them be… Severed?

This was an involved story which has many twists and turns as they traversed the pitfalls and realities of the situation they all found themselves in. Drace and Lucian were very honourable in general and only ever tried to do right by Rylee even if sometimes they failed at their aim. I loved the premise of the story and the way it developed although it did become rather irritating at times - especially the sections involving their families. Without giving anything away I was thrilled at the way the story ended. Well written and very enjoyable. Contains explicit sexual content.
