Description
Lauren’s reward for challenging the pirate commander is a bright red bottom and humiliating arousal. Now the huge alpha shifter intends to claim her as his mate and share her with his beta.
It will take three days to reach their planet, and she must submit to their every desire. If she still wants to leave when they arrive the alpha has agreed to let her go. But with each shattering orgasm and dark pleasure they share, Lauren finds herself craving more of her captors’ touch.
Trigger warnings: Captive Mate includes spankings and rough, intense sexual scenes. If you are offended by such material, please choose a different book.

i really enjoyed this book! i’m normally not a fan of too much smut and this book had plenty but i still devoured it.
the romance, world building and plot were all superb but i will say i think the stuff about Dynar was unnecessary especially since nothing ever came out of it.
Torax: 3.5 stars
Raul: 3.5 stars
Lauren: 4 stars

Captive Mate delivers an intense blend of sci-fi adventure and unapologetic heat. The story follows Lauren as she’s captured by a dominant alien alpha and his beta, and what begins as resistance turns into a provocative exploration of power, pleasure, and desire. It’s not for the faint of heart, but if you're into steamy shifter romances with high stakes and high heat, this one doesn’t hold back. I was surprised by how deeply I got pulled into Lauren’s emotional journey—beyond the sizzling scenes, there’s something intriguing about her choices and how her desires evolve.

Okay, so this book? WILD. Imagine getting abducted by hot space shifters and basically being too turned on to be mad about it. That’s Captive Mate in a nutshell, and I am HERE for it. The alpha? Deliciously dominant. The beta? Just as bad in the best way. I couldn’t stop flipping pages—I needed to know if Lauren would cave (spoiler: it’s spicy). If you're cool with kink and love a little alien action, grab this book and thank me later. 🔥🚀

Sci-fi? Count me in.
Werewolves? Although the MMCs would kill me for calling them like that. I'm in.
Strong FMC that has to adjust to live on another planet with a different culture in the middle of a rebellion? I need this book!
Yes, there is a lot of smut, but there is also an outstanding story behind it.
