Hot Sci Fi

Talk about having a run of bad luck! Emily Ross has lost her job. Not that she’s gonna let it stop her from taking her pre-planned vacation to Costa Rica. But when Emily ends up alone on a rickety old bridge hanging on for dear life, sitting at home perusing the want ads seems much more appealing!

Zaron is an alien, who’s come to Earth to lay the groundwork for his species to invade Earth. When he hears Emily’s cry for help, he rushes to her aid. Zaron is too late and Emily lays broken and near death on the rocks below the bridge. Something about this human brings out Zoran’s protective instincts and he’s determined to use all his advanced medical technology to save her. The burning question is, will he be able to let her go?

Anna Zaires is my one of my favorite authors. I love her dark romances! Krinar Captive is the first SciFi audiobook of hers that I’ve listened to. It is a standalone book, but is an offshoot of the Krinar series. I loved this audiobook! It’s the perfect blend of romance and science fiction. This audiobook is filled with suspense and intrigue and moves along at a quick pace.

Roberto Scarlato narrates this nearly 9-hour audiobook and he does an awesome job on this fully voiced production. His delivery and pacing was perfect. Roberto was expressive when reading each character. His energy level matches the action when narrating intense scenes.

I have listened to several books by author Anna Zaires that Roberto Scarlato has narrated and I think they are a perfect match and look forward to hearing more from this duo.

I have fallen in love with Zaron

I loved this book. The way the story evolved around them getting to know each other and and falling in love was outstanding. I just love a man that gets possesive. I highly recommend this book. Steam factor 8 stars.

Another great Krinar story!

Though I'd already fell in love with Korum and Mia in Close Liasons, I fell just as hard for Zaron and Emily! I loved the story line and the characters, set in the time just before the earlier books. It was a real Love story, written and narrated so very well! Well worth listening to and well worth the money. I adore the narrator and his expressive style. A++

Emily and Zaron

This story was feakin' awesome! I loved that we get to see what happened before K day before Korum and Mia met. It was really cool to get to see a new Krinar Zaron and that Korum makes an appearance. I found it hilarious that Korum doesn't understand Zaron's want to have Emily as a Charl and yet we the reader know that he will eventually take Mia as his Charl so that's really fun. The connection between Zaron and Emily is freakin' hot! They are just meant to be together. The book ends with them leaving for Krina. I hope there might be a book in the future about one of the couples lives on the Krinar home planet.

Roberto Scarlato does a wonderful job bringing the characters to life. I really enjoyed his narration.

EXCELLANT ADDITION TO THE KRINAR SERIES!!

If you could sum up The Krinar Captive in three words, what would they be?

Fast, Erotic, Technology!!

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Krinar Captive?

When Zaron let Emily go!!

Did Roberto Scarlato do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

No really. I could have sworn I heard a dog barking in the background noise. Maybe something was wrong with the taping season. I did like that he attempted to sound like President Obama!!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Krinar Vampire Invasion of Earth!!

Any additional comments?

EXCELLANT STORY!! I stayed up all night to finish Emily and Zaron's story! Every pages and every scene was full of adventure, surprised and a true passionate love story between Emily and Zaron. The Krinar Captive is a prequel to the other Krinar books sereis. Zaron has been sent ahead of Krinars first contact ships to find the proper places the Krinar should colonize on earth an were there planets food sources can grow and thrive.

Eight years ago Zaron lost his mate and he's still is grieving her dead. He finds Emily's broken twisted body after she fall off a bridge in Costa Rica while on her vacation. Emily's parents died when she was 4 so she is acquainted with the loss and grieving of loved ones. These helps draw the couple together.

I loved all the futurist invention of the Krinar and watching through Emily's eyes as she is introduced too technology she could never have fathom. Zoran can't let Emily leave before the First Contact of his planets landing on earth. The two fall slowly but passionately in love they have one hot sexy, Erotic romance. Very Erotic as we all know Anna Zaires is capable of writing.

The Krinar Captive is a fast paced, well developed story. It can stand alone but I recommend you read the other books in the series. I really hope Anne Zaires continues the Krinar series and that it doesn't take as long as this one did to get the next book.

I Highly Recommend The Krinar Captive!!

Steamy in the Jungle

This book is hot, in every sense of the word! I saw someone refer to this series as 50 Shades meets Twilight-- I don't know if I'd go that far, but it is steamy in places. It is easy to follow, perhaps a little too easy, but that's okay. The story is an interesting and innovative conceptual retelling of an alien invasion story, in my opinion. The narrator is great, smooth voice, perfect for this book. Some action, lots of steamy scenes, and an easy listen make this book a winner for me.
