Captured by the Alien Warrior by Presley Hall

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In the far reaches of space, you have to keep your guard up to survive. But this gorgeous alien warrior is breaking down my defenses.
Three years ago, alien raiders abducted me from Earth.
I escaped to a remote trading planet, where I’ve scraped by and kept my identity as a human hidden… until one day I get caught stealing from a mysterious warrior named Rok.
Aliens are dangerous and untrustworthy. Or at least, that’s what I’ve always thought. But Rok is different. Despite being furious that I took something from him, he doesn’t hurt me.
Instead, he offers to help me.
I’m not sure I should trust him—or if I can trust myself around him. Because every time I look into his gold-rimmed eyes, the ice around my heart melts a little. His touch sends licks of fire over my skin, and he gazes at me with such possessive heat that I feel like I’ll combust.
But I know better than to put my faith in an alien. And I certainly know better than to fall in love with one.
Right?

The heroine: Tara – she just got fired from her dead-end job and the next thing she knows, she is being kidnapped from Earth onto a spaceship where she finds that her government has given her as a tribute bride to a race of aliens who promised not to attack Earth in exchange for women. She is able to get to an escape pod and ends up crash landing on a planet where she finds herself in debt to an alien crime lord. She works for another crime boss as a burglar, trying to pay off the big crime lord, little by little until she finds her debt has come due and she has two weeks to pay in full.

The Hero: Rok – he is a warrior from Zivon and is able to change colors from tan, to green and to nearly black. When his home world was destroyed, he found himself on a planet where he makes a living as a weapons designer and maker. He makes a decent living, but what he really wants is to find others of his kind that were able to escape Zivon. He is able to get seeds from a Zivonian plant that can be used to find others of his kind.

The story: When Tara is caught by Rok after stealing his seeds, she doesn’t feel too bad. She does what she has to do to survive, and they are only seeds, no matter how valuable her boss thinks they are. Though Rok tells her how important they are to him and how the plant they will grow is the only way he may find others of his kind, she realizes that they are more than just seeds. Rok promises to help her pay her debt if she returns his seeds and she agrees.

This is pretty standard alien romance fare. The two main characters are immediately attracted to each other and before long, find out they are fated mates. The storyline about the crime boss was pretty good, though nothing new. Of course, human females were in high demand as sex slaves. I don’t like that trope, since it is the same in every single alien romance. I mean, I wish some romance authors would try to be at least a little original.

This audiobook was told in two points of view via dual narration and was narrated by C.J. Grey and Stephanie Kay. I liked both of these narrators quite a bit. C.J. Grey has a deep voice but is kind of soft spoken, which matches Rok exactly. Stephanie Kay has a youthful feminine sounding voice which I really enjoyed as well.
