Blurb/Summary:

Dr. Addison Hollister is a curvy Xeno-anthropologist who's thirsty for adventure...but what happens when she also acquires a thirst for blood and only her grumpy Kindred Protector can Quench it?

When Addie gets invited to a mysterious planet called Crimson Moon to observe their religious rituals, she jumps at the chance. Her grumpy Kindred protector, Drago, disapproves but Addie won’t listen. Of course, she starts to feel differently when she gets to Crimson Moon she finds out she’s supposed to participate in the ritual, which involves giant spiders and a cup full of poison. But by then it’s too late to back out.

Drago is a Drake Kindred with a Primal Drake inside. Since it can’t be tamed, he doesn’t dare to let it out. The problem is, the Drake has decided that Addison is their Fated Mate. Drago knows he can never claim her—he can only act as her Protector. But can he keep her safe from the deadly consequences of the Crimson Moon Choosing ceremony where she will soon be crowned the Queen of Night? And what happens when she develops a taste for blood and some urgent sexual cravings that must be satisfied?
You’ll have to read…To Quench Her Thirst to find out!

***Tropes you'll find in this book***
Enemies to Lovers
Grump/Sunshine
Bodyguard Romance
Protective/Possessive Dragon who is determined to claim his Fated Mate
Lots of hot and spicy S3xual Healing

*Author's Note--I will be straight up with you--this book is *slightly* shorter than the books I usually write. This month I had to have extensive dental work and I was also displaced from my house for a week and a half because of Hurricane Milton. So, not a fun month. However, writing To Quench Her Thirst took me away from a lot of the trauma and helped me forget the outside world. I hope it will do the same for you if you're going through a tough time. It may be a little shorter but it's got a great plot, a LOT of spice, and a very satisfying conclusion at least IMO. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!
Hugs and Happy Reading,
Evangeline

Review:

Couple of interesting plot twists to the story and very appropriate for the Halloween season. Addison and Drago had been working together for a long time before the mission that changed everything for them. Their working and personal relationship was already established before readers meet them in To Quench Her Thirst.

This build-up of tension, between Addison and Drago, over time allowed the author to jump ahead in the romance department. This is a super spicy story with lots of chemistry.

To Quench Her Thirst has a solid plot and likable characters. I was drawn to the story because there is a dragon. The drake does not disappoint. If you like the Kindred series, then this a nice addition. I appreciated the follow up epilogue on the moon after they left the planet.

This is part of a series of books and some things are assumed the reader already knows. This story does not elaborate on background information as others in the series. To Quench Her Thirst is an enjoyable read that will probably have you wanting to check out Evangeline Anderson’s other stories.

Reviewer: Stacey Krug  

Blurb/Summary:

**Rescued is the story of two different couples with two separate love stories whose lives entwine at the end of the book. Don’t ask me why my Muse made me do this.**

Davrik is a Kindred warrior who lost his beloved wife in a shuttle crash five years ago. Unwilling to accept her loss, he embarks on a mission to find her doppelganger in alternate universes. Sonya, trapped in a world devoid of love, becomes the center of his desperate rescue mission.

Captured by the Scourge and sold to an alien brothel, Sonya's life has taken a dark turn. When Davrik arrives, offering salvation, she is overjoyed at first. But that’s before she discovers a secret that shatters her heart and changes everything she thought she knew.

Lan’ara, an Empath Kindred, senses the emotions of others. Guided by her connection with Nate, a captured ex-Navy Seal, she races against time to save him from the brink of destruction. But Nate is suffering from severe PTSD, which makes him a danger to everyone around him. Can Lan’ara's unique abilities can offer him a chance at healing?

As both couples navigate their separate paths towards redemption, they converge in a final confrontation. Facing the malevolent AllFather's tyranny, they must join forces to overcome the darkness that threatens to consume them all.

In "Rescued," the 30th installment of the Brides of the Kindred series, follow these two couples as they battle their own demons, find love against all odds, and confront a danger beyond imagination. Will they emerge victorious, or will they succumb to a fate worse than death? Find out in this captivating, spicy sci-fi romance that intertwines D/s, wounded warriors, and an enemies-to-lovers journey.

Review:

Readers get to go back into the multiverse with the female Kindred in Rescued: Brides of the Kindred, Book 30. This was an action-packed story with two different Kindred searching for the one the Goddess put aside for them. Their stories intersect at pivotal moments in the plot. 

Davrik is a male giant/blood Kindred and Lan’ara is a female empath Kindred, both in search of their human mates. Davrik and Lan’ara each are protective and selfless in the pursuit of their individual mates, Sonya and Nate. Sonya and Nate, as humans, are a little wary at first, but they both rally to show incredible courage and love towards their mates Davrik and Lan’ara, respectively.

I absolutely love the sci-fi aspects in the Kindred series. Rescued has some interesting and creative details in the multiverse world-building. The story has a little of everything: romance, D/s, action, sci-fi, and horror. Evangeline Anderson achieves a HEA for both couples after putting them through hell.

Rescued is a great story with strong characters. Both relationships are complete by the end of the story, no cliff-hangers. However, as a reader, I would like to know if there are any ripple effects from the characters traveling back and forth between universes. Also, what will become of the alternate Earth, its people, and those that have previously been sold off as slaves?

 Blurb/Summary:

Seline has a secret crush on her coworker, Nox—the huge Dark Kindred warrior assigned to protect her on diplomatic missions. Once his Dominant side comes out, can she learn to submit? And will the two of them ever escape The Halls of Pain? You’ll have to read Trapped to find out.

Seline Kennison has a secret crush on the huge Dark Kindred warrior who acts as her Protector. Nox watches over her when she goes on diplomatic missions for the Kindred and keeps her safe when they are on strange planets together. There’s just one problem—Dark Kindred don’t have emotions. So how can Nox ever return her feelings when he has no feelings to return?

Nox the Dark Kindred warrior is having a problem—he has started having dreams of the curvy human woman he’s supposed to protect. And all the dreams are sexual in nature. Nox doesn’t know what to make of this—he’s never had emotions before but the feelings of tenderness, protectiveness, and desire seem to be growing inside him and they are all aimed at Seline. What is he going to do?

Things come to a head when the two are assigned a new mission—to go and bargain for the other half of the Far Box, an ancient artifact that is said to be able to control time and space. They have the first half but the entire artifact is needed for it to work—or so they think. But as they fly through the fold in space something strange happens…and they find themselves in an alternate universe.

Now Nox and Seline must try to navigate in a universe where everything is turned on its head. The powerful Mistress they were going to bargain with turns out to be a demanding Master. Within his domain, the Halls of Pain, Nox and Seline find a whole new dynamic. No longer coworkers, now they are Dom and sub and they must play their parts as if their lives depended on it—because they do.

But will the two of them ever make it home to their own universe? Or will they be forever Trapped? You’ll have to read this D/s, coworkers to lovers, secret crush, oops—I suddenly have emotions, Touch her and die, hot scifi romance novel to find out.

Author's Spice Note: Um...do I really have to say it? This is kind of a Fake Dating scenario where the tables are turned. That part where Seline has to prove what a good little sub she is by pleasing her Master...yeah, it gets spicy. Enjoy ; )
 

Review:

Evangeline Anderson went all Dr. Frankenstein on her Kindred and created a multiverse “monster” using bits and pieces from stories throughout the series, creating a loophole for endless story possibilities. I think that this may be the beginning of another series.

Nox and Seline play their parts well going back and forth to Yonnite Six during Kindred missions. Now they are asked to retrieve an important Kindred artifact from a powerful Mistress across the galaxy. However, things don’t go well at the beginning of their journey, and they end up in another universe where they must switch positions and learn to adapt very quickly.

Nox and Seline have a dynamic partnership and get along well. This trip brings them closer together and calls out the needs inside their hearts. Emotions are messy and Nox gets hits with them all. Seline learns to ask for what she desires, and her emotions give strength to Nox. Their chemistry is off the charts. This is a scorching page-turner of a story not to be missed.

There are strong D/s and BDSM themes throughout the story so fair warning. Never fear though, Evangeline Anderson always delivers a HEA or HFN after putting her characters through the ringer! This story doesn’t have a cliff-hanger, it is complete, but the circumstances open possibilities.

 Blurb/Summary:

Mirabella is running for her life when two huge, muscular alien warriors come to guard her. Will she lose her heart when she is…Shared by the Monstrum?

Mirabella is a reluctant ruler—she never asked to be the Ruling Member of the Sacred Seven—the governing body of Opulex. But things get much worse when all the other members of the Sacred Seven are murdered by a ruthless serial killer. Miri goes into hiding but help is on the way in the form of two huge, muscular Monstrum warriors who vow to guard her with their lives.

Saxon and Lynx are Monstrum Shifters. They can appear humanoid or Shift partially or fully into huge beast-like predators. The two have a special bond they formed as boys which enables them to be more effective warriors. However, it also means they have to share a mate…in every way. A past mating with the woman they both loved ended in tragedy, which caused them to put their hearts on a shelf and vow never to love again.

Miri feels an instant attraction to both the big Monstrum and they want her too, but the past stands in the way of their happiness. In the meantime, they have sworn to protect her no matter what. But when Miri’s fate takes her to visit the Oracle at Delphi Prime, their relationship is turned on its head. For on this strange planet, every male is required to have a “sex pet.”
When Miri pretends to “belong” to the two Monstrum warriors, will she lose her heart?
You’ll have to read this hot ménage, MFM, “touch her and die,” bodyguard trope novel, Shared by the Monstrum to find out!

Review:

Shared by the Monstrum starts off on Yonnite Six where Pierced left off. Torin keeps his word and has his commander send Kindred to protect Mirabella. Bonded brothers and Monstrum shifters, Saxon and Lynx, are sent by Commander Rarev.

All three characters have suffered tremendous personal loss. Both Lynx and Mirabella continue to have hope and must convince Saxon that a brighter future is possible. Their journey is one of self-healing and acceptance with added spicy ménage chemistry. 

Mirabella grew up on the other side of the planet and was shown a different family dynamic than that of the Mistress/body slave of Opulex. She is a healer and wants a career. I wonder if her influence and upbringing can provoke and inspire change for the body slaves of the Mistresses in Opulex. It would be interesting to see if there is a notable change in future books.

Shared by the Monstrum has enthusiastic and emotional characters that I would love to see in future stories.

Blurb/Summary:

Torin is a trained assassin. He has never met a female who’s his match…until he is paired with Special Agent Sky’lar on Portex Three. Together the two of them must track a serial killer through space, but in the process someone is going to get Pierced...

Special Agent Sky’lar is a rare Pitch-Blood Kindred female. She has lived most of her life on Portex Three and never even seen one of her own kind since her mother died when she was young. Imagine her surprise when she walks into work at the Peace Keeper Station and is informed by her Captain that she has a new partner. Not only that, but her partner is a Kindred warrior and a male. Since females are dominant on Portex Three, this is a new and unwelcome development for Sky. How can a male possibly make a good partner?

Commander Torin works for the Kindred Elite Espionage group—he’s been trained as a spy and an assassin but right now he’s tracking a killer. A mysterious entity has been murdering Kindred Ambassadors and the rulers of planets where females are in charge. Zetta Prime and Yonnie Six have already been hit and Portex Three is third on the killer’s list. Torin knows that Sky doesn’t like working with him but he doesn’t give a damn—he’s willing to do whatever it takes to catch the murderer, even if it means baring parts of his soul that he’s kept secret, even from himself.

Now the killer is on the loose and instead of another Ambassador, Sky is in his sights. Will Torin be able to stop him before he kills again? And will Sky survive the killer’s murderous intentions? You’ll have to read this Enemies to Lovers, He Falls First, Warrior Heroine, HEA novel, Pierced, to find out!

***Author's note: for warnings please see my Author's warning inside the book. Thank you

Review:

The main characters Torin and Sky are tasked with catching a serial killer. This story is non-stop action with great plot twists. Sky and Torin have smoking hot chemistry and make a great team.

Their journey to finding the killer also allows for some personal growth. Both characters have their world views challenged and expanded during their quest.

Pierced is a fun story with great characters. It’s a wonderful addition to the Brides of the Kindred series. Evangeline Anderson also lets readers know what she expects to write next, muse willing, at the end of the story.

There is a D/s theme throughout the story and the warning at the beginning is regarding the crime scenes. I personally didn’t have a problem with the scenes, but that doesn’t mean someone else won’t. The crime scenes are part of the story adding an element of horror, but they are not the whole story.

Blurb/Summary:

Mia and Severith are undercover, pretending to be married. But the cult they are infiltrating has some strange sexual practices. Will their partnership be blown to pieces? Only one thing is certain—someone is going to get…Punished.

Mia Deen is a strong, independent woman—she’s also a police detective in the Human Kindred Relations Department of the Tampa PD. Petite but curvy, Mia has worked hard to make a name for herself in a man’s world and she certainly has no secret sexual wishes to be dominated in any way.

Severith is Mia’s partner—he’s also a rare Dae’mon Kindred warrior. Seven feet tall, muscular, with red skin and horns, he’s a warrior to be reckoned with. But though the bad guys fall down at his feet in fear when they see “The Devil” coming, there’s one thing Sev can’t master—his intense attraction for his partner, Mia—an attraction which apparently is not returned.

All goes well until Mia and Sev are sent undercover to expose a cult. The PPP or Peaceful People of the Prophet have some very strange religious beliefs—the strangest being that a wife must submit unconditionally to her husband and he has the right to punish her sexually if she disobeys him.

While pretending to be a married couple, Mia and Sev begin to question everything about their relationship. Will the charged atmosphere of the strangely sexual cult blow their partnership to pieces? Will Mia learn to submit to Sev or will her troubled past keep her from giving in to the intense attraction between them? You’ll have to read this He Falls First, Fake Dating, Spicy Sci-fi Romance to find out.
Only one thing is for sure—someone is going to get…Punished.

Author's Spice Note--this one has some kinks in it--just warning you. It's not for the faint of heart!

***Please read the Author's warning at the beginning of the book for triggers. Thank you

Review:

Punished has great contrasting main characters. Mia grew up in a religious cult and Severith looks like the human version of the devil. He’s enormous and she’s petite. Together they make a great detective team. They are called to investigate a cult on a different world that wants to expand to Earth. Going in they know there will be no back-up, no rescue. The success of the mission hinges on Sev and Mia working together and protecting each other.

The cult has an extremely deviant “Prophet”, and their practices push both Sev and Mia to face their pasts. Boundaries are crashed through as both their lives are at risk. The Kindred Goddess plays a protective role as she must confront a great evil.

Punished has a HFN ending for Sev and Mia. They go through an awful lot to get to that HFN ending! There are some unresolved issues with the cult that would be interesting to see play out in another book. The only thing that, as a reader, I would have liked to see is how Sev and Mia resume their partnership at work.

There are strong D/s themes throughout the story and the author does warn of these kinks.

This is an interesting story with some hard-hitting issues.

Blurb/Summary:

 Mattie is exasperated by her surly Protector who won’t say two words to her. Grath keeps his guard up around the curvy little female because he wants her but knows he can’t have her. Add a trip to Mattie’s hometown for the holidays where they have to fake-date to fool her family and you’ve got a volatile mixture. Will they survive when Mattie agrees to try…Faking it with the Hybrid?

Dr. Mattie Porter has landed her dream job as a Xeno-Cultural Anthropologist with the Kindred, but she has one very big problem—a seven-foot-tall, grumpy, growly warrior named Grath. The huge Hybrid has been assigned to her as her Protector—a kind of bodyguard to keep her safe on alien planets. But he’s a surly bastard who won’t even talk to Mattie if he can help it!

Grath is a Triple-Hybrid, a male with Beast, Blood, and Flame Kindred strains in his DNA. This makes him a formidable warrior, but also ensures he won’t be able to bond with a female, which leaves him with a problem—he’s desperately attracted to the tiny, curvy Earth female he’s been assigned to Protect. But he knows he has to keep her at arm’s length to avoid pain and heartache.

It seems Grath and Mattie will never get along…but then Mattie needs a date for the Holidays. So now they’re going to her hometown to try and fool her family into thinking they’re engaged. But fake-dating during the Holidays isn’t without its pitfalls and neither of them knows that even in the quiet little town of Christmasville, danger is stalking Mattie.

Can Grath keep Mattie safe? Will they win the Christmas Cookie Bake-off? And will both of them lose their hearts when they finally let their guards down? To find out you’ll have to read this Grump and Sunshine, Enemies to Lovers, Fake Dating, hot Alien Warrior romance…Faking it with the Hybrid!

Review:

Dr. Madeline (Mattie) Porter is a Xeno-Cultural Anthropologist and very much wants to travel to a Class 3 planet that only allows mated pairs to visit. Mattie and her protector, Grath, take off on a much closer mission to Earth to see if they can convince Mattie’s family that they are a couple.

I thoroughly enjoyed how Grath interacted and tried to integrate into Mattie’s family and human Christmas festivities. Christmas can be a stressful time for anyone, but Mattie must try and pull off a fake relationship while also dealing with high school trauma. Grath and Mattie have a considerable amount of emotional baggage to unpack and sort through. Both their personal development processes were fraught with trauma, self-doubt, and self-loathing. Read Faking it with the Hybrid to find out how Mattie and Grath help each other and reach relationship status.

This is a fun story that had me running through all the emotions and laughing aloud. Faking it with the Hybrid has great characters, a fast-moving plot, and a happily-for-now ending. I hope we see Mattie and Grath in future books.

Blurb/Summary:

A middle aged science teacher who feels unloved and unwanted meets
Three huge alien warriors desperate to find their Queen
When Terra agrees to go on a quest with V’rone, Tem, and Rive
Will she end up as…the Queen of their Colony?

Terra Engels is a regular middle aged science teacher with nothing special about her—or so she thinks. She comes up to the Monstrum Mother Ship to arrange a tour for her senior class…and sets off an alarm on the Dark Side of the ship.

The alarm is a Heart-finder arch, tended by three Colony Monstrum, who must share a female. V’rone, Tem’blx, and Rive have pretty much given up on finding the one perfect woman who can be the Queen of their colony. Imagine their surprise when Terra walks through the arch and sets off the alarm, proving that she is the one they’ve been looking for!

Terra, however, disagrees. She just got out of a failed marriage and she’s not ready to make another commitment—especially not to three huge guys at once! However, she makes a deal with them—she will go on a quest to help them find the right woman if they will attend her ex-husband’s wedding with her as her dates. That’ll show the cheating bastard!

The Monstrum agree. Thus begins a crazy—and extremely hot—adventure to four different alien worlds that involve a host of dangers…and a lot of heated encounters. Each door between the worlds requires that the four of them become more and more intimate and less and less inhibited. But at the end of it all when Terra almost loses her guys, can she find a way to get them back? And will she ever consent to be…Queen of their Colony?

Review:

I loved the adventure that Terra, Tem, Rive, and V’rone embarked on together that brought them all closer. Their journey made the chemistry they all shared seem so much more realistic and compatible. Each person in the colony brought something different to the relationship creating a solid “family” unit that they all needed to experience.

Queen of Their Colony is a Kindred Novel, so it is not unexpected to have a HEA with no cliff-hanger. The trials that these four are put through and the excellent epilogue kept me turning the pages as fast as I could. This story is not to be missed as there are hints of what could possible be coming next in the Kindred world.

I really enjoyed this reverse harem story.

A woman trapped in an abusive marriage

A Kindred warrior hired to guard her
As they grow closer, will Sark be able to give Isla up?
Or will a secret part of him awaken and demand to keep her?
Read Guarded by the Hybrid to find out.

Lady Isla Le’rank is trapped in a loveless, abusive marriage, all because she is a rare Moonstone goddess. But she cannot bear her husband an heir until her skin takes on the pearly, opalescent glow that means she is ripe for mating. Since her husband has failed to bring on the glow himself, he hires a Kindred warrior to help him.

Sark is a Hybrid—half Giant Kindred and half Ice Drake Kindred. He hires himself out as a Security Specialist to the rich and famous of the galaxy. But this latest contract is very strange—why in the Seven Hells would Lord Baslik Le’rank hire him to act as his wife’s bodyguard…and also massage her every night?

The contract is strange but the money is good—Sark takes the job. But when he finds that his new charge is as defiant as she is beautiful, the ice around his heart begins to melt.

Isla, for her part, finds that her body reacts to the touch of her new guard in a way it never did for her cruel husband. She begins to care for Sark and he begins to care for her, but he knows he can never have her—she is another male’s mate. But when she finally begins to glow, during a dangerous trip to the world of Fenushia, will Sark give her up—or will a buried part of him awake and demand to keep her?

Review:

Guarded by the Hybrid has a new giant/dragon hybrid, Goddess intervention, a princess that needs rescuing, and lots of steamy romance. What more could you ask for in a paranormal romance?

I loved Sark and Isla and their interactions together. They burned up the pages with their shared chemistry.

This story also contains new humanoids on another planet full of more sci-fi adventure and creativity as their journey takes them off world. The humanoids of Fenushia are very interesting as is their way of life.

Fair warning that Isla does suffer from domestic abuse in this story, but don’t let that deter you from reading, as always, Evangeline Anderson manages a pleasurable outcome for her characters.

Blurb/Summary:

 A Drake warrior brooding in the Dark

A woman whose unique powers are just coming to Light

Can they survive the dangers of a hostile planet together?
Find out in…
Dragon in the Dark

*This is a Plus length novel--115,000 words long*
Dr. Iyanna Washington has landed her dream job—as a botanist aboard the Monstrum Mother Ship she will be able to study as many fascinating alien plants as she could ever dream of. But she’s been warned to stay on the Light Side of the ship during her studies. The Dark Side hides Monstrum so big and powerful they would frighten any humans who happened to see them.

Dra’vik happens to be one of those that humans must not see. As a Drake Monstrum, he is nine feet tall with horns and scales—naturally he thinks humans would fear him. But when Iyanna gets lost on the Dark Side of the ship, he finds himself drawn to the curvy little Elite with the creamy brown skin. She’s both beautiful and brave and she doesn’t fear his immense size or “devilish” appearance.

When the two of them are sent on a secret mission where they must pretend to be Master and pleasure slave, they find themselves drawn even closer together. But danger is in the air. Iyanna has proven to have special abilities and unique talents that are priceless to someone who would be happy to steal her away from the big Drake. And even if Dra’vik manages to save her, there are other obstacles standing in the way of their happiness—specifically the fact that bonding with a Monstrum Drake causes instant pregnancy.

Can Dra’vik save Iyanna from the danger that threatens her life?
And will Iyanna be willing to bond with the big Drake, despite the unique consequences?
You’ll have to read Dragon in the Dark to find out.

Author's Note: the heroine gets into some pretty scary situations in this book which may make you uncomfortable if you are a survivor of assault. Anyone who has read my books knows that it all works out in the end, but I wanted to warn you just in case. Please read responsibly!

Review:

Another fun sojourn into the Kindred world of the Monstrum. Dragon in the Dark has two great main characters, Dr. Ivanna Washington a human and Dra’vik a drake warrior.

Readers are treated to another couple’s space mission, this time to save the Monstrum Mother Ship. As their mission together progresses, we learn more about Ivanna’s special talent and Dra’vik’s protective instincts. They find themselves on a horrid planet where Ivanna is in constant danger and only has Dra’vik to rely on to keep her safe.

The creative sci-fi elements of the story are amazing. Loved learning more about the Monstrum Mother Ship and the incorporation of the Kindred modifications.

I think these two characters could have a very interesting follow-up novel. I enjoyed their journey and chemistry. Hope to see them again!
