Maggie Jordan is not supposed to be having adventures. Her mission is to go to Gaia, a new, unpopulated world, and study the native life forms there. So how come she finds herself in on the female dominated Yonnie Six instead, rescuing a huge, muscular prisoner? The same prisoner she keeps seeing over and over again in her dreams…
Korexiroth—or Kor, as Maggie dubs him, is a slave who spent his life fighting in the savage arenas of the Blood Circuit. He’s got plenty of kills under his belt and more than enough reasons to run as soon as he gets free. But somehow he can’t make himself part from the girl who was brave enough to save him from certain death.
Now Maggie and Kor are on the run together, trying desperately to find someone to remove the alien device that was implanted in Maggie as punishment for her thievery of an expensive slave. The device, or “slut button” as it is called, forces Maggie to sexual excesses the shy scientist has never known before—and Kor is the only one who can help her control her new urges.
Kor is more than willing to help Maggie satisfy her new sexual hunger but his own appetites are not so easily satiated. For there is a dark secret, a shadow from his past that stalks him and whispers of power beyond belief if only he will give himself over to darkness.
Will they find a way to return Maggie to normal? Will Kor admit how he really feels for her? Or with the shadow from his past succeed is tearing them apart? You’ll have to read Chained, Brides of the Kindred 9, to find out.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Maggie is a bit of a klutz, she gets nervous and accidents happen or she tries to be helpful and things go onry. Like the incident with the bonding layer of Kats wedding cake or one of the many other things that have happened to her. But she's also a genius and has been given the chance to explore a new world with the Kindred. Six months off world to learn all about new animals and vegetation and no one to miss her really, after all her fiance will probably be too involved with his own research to even miss Maggie.
Kor is a slave, he's spent his life fighting in the blood circuit and killing for the entertainment of others, but after killing his old master and being sentenced to death he's saved by a woman from Yovinne Six. Except what she wants from him he'll never give, total surrender. She's cruel and evil and will do anything to make him submit, his only hope of escape is death. Until th woman from his dreams is suddenly there and for some reason saving him.
Maggie doesn't know why she's doing it, but she just can't like the big man chained up stay as he is. What she gets though for helping him is more adventure than she ever bargained for and after all is said and done will she be the same? Will he?
Maggie is a bit of a scared mouse in the beginning, but she has a heart of gold and her compassion helps her to do things that would normally be out of her comfort zone. Kor is a big bad ass, but there's a sweet teddy bear just aching to come out. When he cares about something he cares with everything in him even when he knows he shouldn't. The two have their of problems but they work together to bring out the best in each other.

How does a girl who's about to take her vows as a nun wind up with two hot warriors to pick from?
That's Becca Malone's problem. After eating a piece of bonding fruit cake, she wound up with Far and Truth, Twin Kindred warriors who were separated at birth and never formed a proper Twin bond.

Becca is scared to death she's going to wind up bonded for life and Far and Truth aren't too thrilled about the prospect of sharing her. But when the ominous vision sends them on a trip to a rogue planet where the inhabitants live out their lives in a strange, mental internet called the Mindscape, they have no choice but to come together in the most intimate way possible.
Becca comes to realize she can't choose between the light twin, sweet and gentle Far and the dark twin, intense and passionate Truth. But how can she be with both of them at once when the twins have sworn to be forever...Divided?
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Becca was an unfortunate victim of the bonding cake fiasco, it brought her a great amount of pleasure from twins Far and Truth. The problem? As a woman preparing to to her vows as a nun she shouldn't be involved in any hankey pankey and being raised catholic she knows she shouldn't have been with one man let alone two.
Far and Truth were separated at birth by unfortunate circumstances and both led to believe the other was dead.
Truth was raised on the planet Pax where touching anyone was taboo, and sharing a woman was disgustingly wrong. Far was raised on the twin homeworld where he was alone while everyone around him had a brother, finding out he had one too should have been a joyous occasion, but when he shirks from your touch and shows his disgust at every turn he fears he may never get the bond he's always longed for.
The only thing they can agree on is Becca, but while Far is happy to share Truth is determined to have her all for himself. And Becca, well she's still trying to accept that becoming a nun is no longer what she wants, but is wanting two men really what she desires now?
When a threat in the Mothership forces them to work together, will is bring them closer together or push them apart for good?
Becca lives a quite life and while she may not be completely happy with it she feels it's what she deserves after the pain from her past. Far and Truth both also have their share of problems, but underneath it all all three care for each other even when they can't admit it. I loved seeing their story and how they found themselves in each other. I also enjoyed seeing the continuation of the Kindred storyline and where everything is going with all the characters from previous books.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tess Hughes is on the run from her abusive ex-husband. The problem is, he’s a detective and there’s no place on Earth he can’t find her. Solution? Hide somewhere that’s not on Earth—the Kindred Mother Ship. That’s how she winds up posing as Pairing Puppet—one of the robotic mistresses that service the Unmated Males of the Kindred who need a little sexual stress release from time to time. Of course, Tess never actually performs a Pairing Puppet’s duties—she hides every time a new ‘customer’ comes in. But then she gets caught out in the open…at exactly the wrong time.
Garron of the Rai’ku Kindred has a dragon sized problem and it’s living right inside of him. His dr’gin, the ravenous beast that lives inside every Rai’ku male, is trying to get out. Problem is, if Garron lets it escape, it will eat the first person it sees. He’s burning with need and the more his desire grows, the greater the danger to those around him. Desperate to quench his smoldering desire and keep his dr’gin contained, he goes to the Pairing House…and chooses Tess.
Now the two of them are on the run. Expelled from the Mother Ship, Tess is once again menaced by her abusive ex who will stop at nothing to get her back. Garron has sworn to protect her but the beast inside him is more dangerous than any outside threat could be.
Can Garron protect Tess from the man who has sworn to destroy her without letting the beast inside him run free? If not, she will surely be…Devoured.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Garron was forced to leave his homeworld after helping his brother Truth save the Kindred Mothership. Now as he nears his naming day the beast within in that he's kept at day for so long is threatening to come out and he's not sure what to do about his sudden desires. Desires that were taboo on Pax, but according to Truth are a part of being Kindred, unfortunately with his beastly nature allowing those desires out could cause allot of death and destruction to those on the ship, unless he finds another way.
Tess was just trying to hide from her ex in the one place she might be safe, but living in a robot whorehouse on the Mothership comes with it's own risks. And when she's discovered and forced back to Earth her worst nightmare may just be realized, until the man she been strangely dreaming of comes to her rescue.
As they navigate their strange feelings for each other they must also learn to overcome not only their past hurts, but also the dangers lurking in the future.
Tess has had her spirit bent by her evil ex, but she's not broken, throughout it all she's determined to survive and live her life like she's always wanted. Garron is a man trying to contend with what he sees as the evil within in himself. He's sweet and caring and trying to learn how to live outside of his homeworlds extreme ideals. Once he's decides something he commits wholeheartly and for those he cares for he won't let anything happen to them.
The two each have their own insecurities and I loved watching as they learned to overcome them. Even after 11 books this series is still fresh and still keeps you interested, there's always something new and it keeps you coming back for more. I love seeing more and more of these characters in the story line as it develops in each book and it makes me more excited to read even more the series as it comes out.
