Alien Dragon’s Baby by Miranda Martin

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Not every alien is an enemy, even if he kidnaps you . . .

Calista is happy with her life of scientific research. She doesn’t need love, she has her books, her friends, and her work. Things are fine until her ship is attacked by space pirates and crash lands on a desert planet with heat so intense she and her friends can’t survive without help.

Ladon is a Zmaj warrior resigned to a life alone, who only desires to protect his treasures. His hopes for a mate faded long ago, yet when he meets Calista something stirs. It takes only one look to know that she belongs to him. He’s been alone for so long, but she is the ultimate treasure and he will protect her.

Now there’s only the small problem of her living long enough to understand.

A devastated planet, a mysterious history, space pirates, and threats environmental and alien beset them on all sides. The sexy Zmaj warrior will have to battle the planet’s ultimate threat in an epic effort to obtain the one thing he knows Calista needs to survive.

But will the other humans accept this huge and alien-looking dragon warrior? Or will they find him just as big a threat as the rest of the red planet? The future of both their races depends on it.

The heroine: Callista – she works on a scientific research vessel in space. She is working on strains of wheat. She loves biochemistry and she is one of the third generation aboard the ship. They will live there for their entire lives and won’t reach their destination for another few generations. Her best friend Jolie dreams about falling in love. Though Callista thinks it isn’t for her and wants to stick with science.

The Story: When space pirates attack the ship Callista is on, the alarm sounds and the ship fills with smoke. Callista and her friends try to get to their life pods with everyone going insane on the ship. They run into the scary alien pirates, who are happy to see the three human women, but aren’t expecting them to fight back, killing some of the pirates. They never make it to the pods when the ship crashes on a hot desert planet.

The Hero: Ladon – he was the alpha and the leader of his city which is now abandoned and he is on his own. He is out on a hunt when he sees a massive spaceship crash land on his planet. He wants to make it first to the wreck to gather treasure from the ship. He hopes there might be survivors as his race is dying, there aren’t many people left and no females. When he sees a female a bit away from the wreckage, he determines he will take her.

The world building is pretty good, there are a lot of dangerous creatures on the planet and Ladon keeps thinking about something called Epis, that Callista needs to survive. They don’t speak the same language and there are no language translators, so they have trouble communicating through much of the book, though they try to teach each other words from their respective languages. It isn’t until very late in the book where they are able to really communicate.

This book was told in dual points of view by a dual narration. It and was narrated by Tristan James and Jillian Macie. I like Jillian Macie’s voice and she is a great voice actor/narrator. She shows a lot of emotion through her voice. Tristan James has a good voice, but speaks in a bit of a monotone so he could be better, but he isn’t bad either.
