Sexy warriors, red-hot passion and thrills abound in this exciting sci-fi fantasy romance. The hero and heroine, Valan and Lia, are two strong, captivating characters that easily draw readers into their story and hold them hostage throughout with their sizzling chemistry and tempestuous sparks flying off the pages as they engage in the battle of the sexes. Valan may have saved Lia from a fate worse than death but to her, he isn’t exactly a hero and their relationship is a continuous battle of wills, tempers, miscommunications and lots of blazing hot and erotic scenes that inflame reader’s passions and sparks spontaneous chuckles as well causing a bit of empathic anger, hope and frustration feelings in the readers.

The plot of fast paced and full of energetic excitement as the Warriors abduct the women from an enemy clan in the hope of saving their race only they get a bit more than they bargained for since they were expecting enemies. The couple along with the other characters from this story continuously keep readers on their toes and glued to the pages with twists and turns that keep them guessing and lots of entertaining clashes of will. The author brought her characters and the world to brilliant life so it is easy for readers to picture the scenes and get to know the characters.

There is explicit and passionate scenes and mature language in the book which may offend some readers and while I wasn’t sure that I was going to like the book because I’m not crazy about the whole abduction and abductee falling for each other thing, I’m delightfully surprised to say that I quite enjoyed the story and the way that the author brought all the elements together which ensured that I want to know more about these sexy warriors and their world.

I didn’t care for the beginning of this book. I really didn’t like Valen and his treatment of Lia. It got better later, but the first half of the book turned me off.

I really liked Valan's Bondmate. Lots of emotion, angst, love, passion and sweetness. I like alien world stories from time to time - especially hot stories with hot men!

Valan is forced by his mating fever to take a bondmate. Unfortunately, the only females available are the ones whose men were responsible for killing the females on Valan's planet. He will take a female but he won't love her or cherish her as his bondmate. He will continue to keep a mistress and use his bond female for children.

Lia is scared, she is being traded to a monstrous warrior by her sire and she has no say in the decision. She is even more scared when she wakes up in the middle of the night with a huge warrior standing over her. They fight and the next thing she knows she is onboard his ship with thousands of females from her planet.

Valan has chosen Lia and is attracted to her but isn't happy about it. There are some really hot scenes between the two when they first come together. They distrust each other and Valan makes some terrible decisions in his treatment of his bondmate.

Here is where the story really picks up. There are a number of misunderstandings between the couple that they needed to sit and talk out. Their stubbornness doesn't help them communicate with each other.

This was a fun book to immerse myself in. I enjoyed the story and really got to like the characters. I was hoping for a book about Cam and Minda, but don't see one. I hope to finish the series.
