Taken to Heimo by Elizabeth Stephens

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Svera
There are a few things my Tri-God did not prepare me for. 

The first – Niahhorru pirates. They want the coordinates to an unprotected human satellite and I have them.

The confusing – The human Council’s secrets that I’ve uncovered and may get me killed. 

The most sinful – The pressure in my stomach… well, lower than my stomach… that draws me to the male who hates me most in this universe.

Krisxox
There is nothing that my warrior training did not prepare me for. Even though my body desires to bond to hers, I’ll fight until I break it. She’s a disgusting human, filthy and impure. A worshipper of a fickle human god and worst of all, she’s not Drakesh.

Nox, that isn’t the worst.

Worse, is that she’s got space pirates, traitors, and other enemies chasing her. Worst, is that I won’t let them touch her because she’s my Xiv – nox! I’ll fight. But fighting is harder when I don’t really want to win…

The heroine: Svera – she is a human female in space. She was taken captive by the Niahhorru pirates whose king wanted the coordinates to find Earth so they can take more human female’s captive and use them for breeding. She isn’t a fighter, but she used her dagger to keep the pirate Nanda away from her. Krisxox rescued her.

The Hero: Krisxox – he comes from a very arrogant race. The Drakesh feel that they are the superior race, and they abhor other races. He has known that Svera was his true mate since he first saw her. Though he couldn’t believe his mate was a weak and puny human. He keeps trying to convince himself that he hates her and that having an alien live with him sickens him. Though methinks he protests too much.

The Story: This story confused me a bit. It started out where Svera was captive of the Niahhorru pirates, then all the sudden went to where Svera was living in Krisxox’s home. He takes care of her and watches her sleep at night, though he leaves in the morning, so she won’t know he was there. Though he grumbles and stomps around the house, mad about the fact that Svera is an alien, and he wants nothing to do with her. He is also angry about the fact that he is attracted to her and has nightmares about failing her.

I had really liked the previous books in this series since they had very intricate and interesting plots and a lot of action. This one did as well. Though I didn’t like all the religious themes. Svera was really religious, and her God was called the Tri-god. There was a bunch of stuff about her praying to her god and Krisxox at one point wouldn’t get busy with her when she wanted to because he knew that getting married first was important in her religion.

This audiobook is told in dual points of view in dual narration. Joy Beharie and Curtis Michael Holland narrated it. I didn’t exactly like these two narrators, though I didn’t hate them either. I say that because if I hate a narrator or their voice is annoying, I will just quit listening. Curtis has a fine voice, though his tempo is that of someone reading, not voice acting. Joy Beharie has a pretty deep voice for a woman, so it isn’t my favorite, but I was able to keep listening.
