À propos de cet audio
King Grim Vasteri is the strongest and most feared warrior in the Tornian Empire. He is the King of Luda, blood brother to the Emperor, and his line will die with him. He will have no offspring for no female would join with him for once he was scarred he was considered "unfit". The Tornian Empire has been dying ever since the great infection caused the birth of females to become a rarity. Since then they have been searching the known universes for compatible females. The Emperor's discovery of a compatible female on a slave ship changed that. He'd ordered Grim to find his Empress's home world so more "unprotected" females could be obtained, knowing Grim would never be allowed to Join with one.
Lisa Miller is a widowed mother of two little girls, Carly and Miki. Her husband died just a year ago, after a long battle with cancer and she misses him immensely. Friends want her to start dating again but in her heart, she knows there isn't a man on the planet she could love like her Mark. Who could love their girls like their own. Therefore, she'll stay alone.
When Lisa is discovered "unprotected" at her husband's grave, she wakes on an alien ship heading for an alien world. Refusing to accept this she confronts the large males, demanding she be returned to her children. Seeing his chance to have a female, Grim agrees to accept and protect her offspring, if she agrees to Join with him and only him. Realizing this is the only way she can retrieve her children Lisa agrees, and the Tornian Empire changes forever.
©2013 M.K. Eidem (P)2015 M.K. Eidemthe depiction of caring for children in particular is very well done in this book and the way that they address how a power dynamic can really become a problem when you value one gender over the other is quite well done in this particular series so far excellent book one and probably just stand alone.

Entertaining story, terrible narration

It was as if the narrators hadn't read ahead and rehearsed what they were about to read. Their emotional emphasis was off on many of the speeches. When a character was supposed to be shouting or screaming you can’t tell this from the narrators’ voices. It is possible to do this well because I have listened to other books with the narrators shouting and screaming to add the proper emphasis without hurting the listener’s ears. In this story, if you based it on the narration, many characters didn’t seem to have any emotional involvement in what was happening. One example is Callen, who sounds like he’s been sedated and that he’s just cruising through life without a care.
Also, the narrators didn’t have much variety in the voices for the characters. It was hard sometimes to tell which character was speaking based on voice alone. There were instances where two or three characters had almost the same voice when they shouldn’t have. Grim and Wray should have voices that were similar because they were brothers but not other unrelated characters. Lisa and Isis are speaking to Abby and if you don't pay close attention it can be hard to determine if it is Lisa or Isis talking.
All this being said, I would still recommend purchasing this audio book. The story makes up for the deficiencies of the performance. Maybe someday the author will have this book redone with much better narrators.
Great story but mediocre performance

The reading of this book reminds me of being told to sit on the carpet for story time as a kid. (Not really what you want from this type of book)
I do like the foundations of the story though and for that reason alone am finishing it.
