Sold to the Alien Soldiers by Corin Cain
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I’m owned by a fearsome mob boss.
Sold to the Alien Soldiers
I have no freedom.
The one thing left to me is safety and security. Any man that dares touch me would lose a… very precious body part.
When four huge, disgusting Bullfrogs enter the planet, I know I’m safe. I weep for the woman forced into their slimy harems, but I will not be touched.
When three dominant, arrogant Aurelians enter the city, I am off limits. The seven-foot-tall alien species are brutal, powerful, and muscled like Greek-Gods. They search their entire lives for their fated mate, the one woman who can bear their sons through the dark, powerful Bond.
I feel the pain of the women forced to endure their harsh punishment and fearsome mating frenzies, but I will not be touched.
That’s what I thought – until my owner decides my innocence is worth more at an alien auction house than in his personal collection.
I’ll be beautified, leashed, and forced on stage to face my fate.
Rogue aliens on an uncivilized planet!

The heroine: Ashley – she was born in the uncivilized part of the universe where slavery is legal. Ashley was considered pretty enough to be taken into a mobster’s personal service instead of being sold to a brothel or worse. However, her mobster just lost 30 slaves to the Aurelians and with four important bullfrogs (a larger version of the disgusting Toad race), whom he promised their pick of the slaves at auction. Since the slaves were lost, the mobster decides to put his own in the auction, including Ashley.
The Heroes: Evander, Conan, and Augustus – They are a Triad of Rogue Aurelians. Aurelians are 7 feet tall, muscular warriors with marble-white skin, who live thousands of years. Only males are born to the Aurelian Empire as clones once the previous Aurelian dies of natural causes. Each Aurelian has to spend 100 years in the military before their life is their own.
The Story: Since many Aurelians have died in combat, this is causing an ever-smaller population and the Empire had feared they would eventually die out until it was found that human females could be the fated mates of a triad. This bonding increases the strength of the triad and of the human and increases their life expectancy to match their mates. Aurelians go into mating heat with their fated mate until she is bred and then it doesn’t happen again until after the baby is born, so one human female can countless children over her long lifespan.
During the first week of their 100 years of service, Evander, Conan and Augustus were given an order, along with their company of warriors to clear out a Scorp nest. What they saw there nearly broke them and when only the three of them escaped with their lives, they went Rogue and on the run from the Aurelian Empire who they now see as weak. The Scorps were worshiping an Orb (a power source used by Aurelians, which they now think might be sentient), which made the Scorps faster and deadlier than any they have seen or heard about before. So, the triad decided to give up on the Empire, go back to the old ways and find their fated mate.
Evander, Conan and Augustus arrive at the city on the planet Reena in time for the auction, they plan to sell their Reaver along with its Orb for a small fortune. Now that they are Rogue, they no longer have to follow Aurelian laws against slavery. The three of them don’t plan to lose their honor, they still know the difference between right and wrong, but since they are just arriving on this unlawful planet, they need to fit in and appear to condone slavery. They hope to eventually tame the planet and make it their own.
“But in order to make a future for ourselves, now that our past is left burned and smoldering behind us, we might have to appear to be sympathetic to those whose morality disgusts us.”
This is the third book from Corin Cain that I have read in the last few days, and I find that I am really loving them. I love alien romance anyway, since it is often a nice vacation from some darker, heavier romance. I also like to get away to new worlds in my reading and this type of romance really fits the bill on that. The three books I have read are each from different but connected series and I have really enjoyed them immensely.
They are super steamy, which isn’t unusual for alien romance, but I find the intimate scenes sizzling hot and all three books so far have had a ton of great action and suspense. The writing is good and there isn’t much to complain about. And though a triad of 7-foot-tall aliens with 12-inch packages the width of baseball bats really wouldn’t be my cuppa tea in real life, it is kind of fun to read about. Plus, I love alien romance where it is more Star Wars and less Conan the Barbarian.
