Possessed

Tana Stone — 2020

I sacrificed myself to save my sister's ship. Now the raider warlord owns me. It was my own fault. I was the navigator of our ship, and I'm the one who led us straight into Vandar territory. We'd heard rumors about the Vandar raiders-everyone in the galaxy had. Terrifying and ruthless, they were a scourge on the Zagrath empire and destroyed everything in their path. Few had actually laid eyes on the Vandar or the notorious warlords who led their fleets of warships-and survived to talk about it. So, when the ruthless aliens board our ship intent on destroying it and killing the crew, I did the only thing I could do. I gave myself to the dark and menacing warlord. In exchange for allowing my sister's ship passage out of the Vandar territory, I must share his bed and travel with his crew of deadly raiders. Even though the sight of the huge, battle-scarred alien terrifies me. But as I adjust to my new life on a savage warship, I discover that the dominant alien warrior wants more than just my body. He wants to possess my soul. And he'll make a new deal with me to get it. Possessed is a full-length sci fi romance novel with an HEA and no cheating. It features steamy scenes on a raider warship, alien horde space battles, and some serious enemies-to-lovers heat. If you like dominant and dangerous alien warriors, alien abduction to seduction romance, and hot scenes with a happily ever after, you'll love Possessed, the first book in Tana Stone's sci-fi romance Raider Warlords of the Vandar series. Each book can be read as a standalone.

Astrid is just about the unluckiest woman alive! Her sister is an ace Captain but the rest of her crew look at Astrid as a cling-on, she's been given the navigator position and she is the worst! When she inadvertently enters Vandar space, her ship gets boarded and the crew is about to face death - literally. She does the only thing she can think of - she ransoms herself to Raas Kratos – the Vandar Warlord in charge. The Vandar are in an eternal struggle against the Zagrath empire. They are fighting to save enslaved worlds, they should be the good guys but their methods are a bit...extreme. They're the "chop off the leg to get rid of the wound" type! Astrid really should grate on the nerves. She's a disaster waiting to happen. But she is really just naive and very sheltered by her capable big sister. She soon finds she has untapped talents where Kratos is concerned! Kratos is brutal, bullish and a hardass but when it comes to the fragile human he is downright tender - well as ender as a Vandar can get! A great escape from reality. The naive heroine is well able to take the big, bad warrior in hand. I loved meeting the other Vandar and Astrid's sister. I really am looking forward to book 2!
