Sold to the Alien Mobsters by Corin Cain

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Captured. Sold. Three brutal alien mobsters on the brink of war. A curvy heroine who won’t give in. 

We’re brought kicking and screaming to the alien auction house. 

I was supposed to be an artist. I was supposed to be a sculptor, creating beauty. Instead, I am reduced to nothing more than my body. The men who come to a slave auction care about one thing, and one thing only… 

There aren’t supposed to be Aurelians at the slave auction. The seven-foot-tall perfectly muscled God-like aliens are supposed to have… strict rules forbidding slavery. These three are covered in scars and tattoos, and every man in the room quivers in fear at their presence. 

Rogues Aurelians. Criminals who threw off the shackles of their Empire to claim their own destiny. 

They own the room… 

And they want to own me

The heroine: Petra – she was auctioned off at a slave auction. The bidders were Toad (an amphibian race), humans, and a triad of Aurelians. She was sold to the Aurelians along with 5 other human women. She hated them, though they did offer all the slaves’ freedom right after they were bought. Though it wasn’t really a choice since freedom meant that they would leave the auction, nearly naked and be on the planet by themselves with nothing and no way to go anywhere else. Probably they would just be grabbed and re-sold at auction.

The Heroes: Daran, Riff, Kreos – They were rogue Aurelians and Mobsters on the planet Taton. They had never been part of the Aurelian empire, never served their 100 years of military service. They grew up rough, Daran’s father was the most powerful man on Taton until he was betrayed and the triad is back to reclaim the title. They don’t believe in slavery but bought women and gave them the choice of freedom or joining their harem. They did this for the protection of the women. In reality, like all Aurelian triads, they were looking for their fated mate.

The Story: Aurelians are all born male and live for thousands of years, the only way a new Aurelian is born is when an old one is near death and makes it to a cryocenter to be cloned before they die. However, a lot of Aurelians die in war and even ones that live to be old, don’t always make it to a cryocenter before death, so the population has been slowly dwindling. Until it was found that human women could be their fated mates and could carry their children naturally. If a human woman is a fated mate, they will live as long as their Aurelian mates and could potentially have hundreds of children during the thousands of years of life.



Which is why many Aurelian males created harems. They don’t know if a woman is fated to them until they are intimate with each other. So, they collect human woman while looking for their mates. Many women want nothing more than to be in an Aurelian harem, not only because they are protected as part of a harem but because they want to see if they are fated to the Aurelian triad.

I have to say, I didn’t really like Petra much. She had some deep feelings about being sold as a slave and about anyone who would buy slaves, but the more she found out about the triad and their reasonings, even after they offered her freedom more than once, she still had issues with them. When they wanted her, she balked and said no, but then gets jealous when they chose someone else, because she thought they would fight for her more, when she has shown them nothing but disdain, even after finding out they aren’t bad guys when it comes to women. I mean sure they have to hook up with each of the females to see if they are the fated mate, but can you blame them for that?

Also, I thought from the start that Petra wasn’t the brightest, because before she was kidnapped by slavers, she was on her way to a job working as the ‘personal sculptor” for some elderly wealthy man who apparently likes sculptures of himself so much that he wants a sculptor working for him and living with him full time. I personally would be a bit more wary of a wealthy man wanting me to be a live-in anything in a world where women are such sexual commodities.
