About this listen

A monster wants her as his bride...and he will stop at nothing to claim her.

Gemma Hara is drowning under the weight of her father’s debts. Working herself to the bone, she knows that if she doesn’t pay them off in time, the sadistic creditors will take everything: their home, their respected name, and, worst of all, her two beautiful sisters.

To save her family, Gemma agrees to do something reckless: marry a wealthy and mysterious stranger, who offers her a wicked bargain she can’t afford to refuse.

However, his bargain comes with one terrifying catch. Because her husband-to-be is a Kylorr.

One of the most fearsome alien races in the Four Quadrants, the Kylorr are beastly monsters, all muscle and menace, with powerful wings, depraved cravings, and berserker-like rages. The worst part?

They survive on blood.

Cold and cruel, Azur of House Kaalium, the High Lord of Laras, demands Gemma as his blood bride. To feed from her. To use her body in whatever way he wishes. For paying off her family’s debts, he expects her complete submission.

What neither of them predicts is how his bite doesn’t bring pain—it fills Gemma with more exquisite pleasure than she’s ever known. And as she finds her footing on a strange new planet, the one thing Gemma thought she’d never surrender might be at risk after all.

Her heart.

Too bad her new husband can’t seem to decide if he wants to break it...or keep it forever.

Passionate enemies to lovers and arranged marriage

This is the first book in the Brides of the Kylorr Series, an alien vampire romance. Desire in His Blood is a passionate enemies to lovers, and arranged marriage. The characters are enigmatic and interesting. Gemma and Azur's story is original, steamy, and complex, filled with push and pull, angst, revenge, secrets, drama, and mystery. Gemma is smart, strong, and determined. Azur is revengeful, dark, and powerful. Their chemistry is sizzling hot. I liked to follow them in their slow burn romance. The world building is captivating. The supporting characters are intriguing. Marcio Catalano and Stella Hunter did an excellent job bringing this story to life. I enjoyed it. Looking forward to listening to Craving in His Blood, the next book in the series.

The plot made it

In a book club; my choice was rejected, but I read this anyway as the choices the majority repeatedly chose are truly predictable.
The plot showed no sign of filler. The story took one direction and the motives and revelations slowly came together. Both main characters show they make very human mistakes, such as assuming instead of asking. The connection between the characters slowly build up, showing the progression of appreciation between them. I’m not left wondering why and how the connection built up between them. The world created show division and diversity in an everyday setting, but is futuristic. In a rare event, I recommend.

Marcio’s sexy voice!

Although the character was supposed to have a gruff voice and Marcio’s was smooth - it didn’t seem to matter cos I just swooned when I heard him! Plot was very interesting and a bit different from my previous listening. The two main characters progressed in a timely fashion which I found satisfying. Looking forward to the next in the series.

Interesting

This was an interesting story. The worlds were unique, the different types of beings, the different cultures it was very unique.
I liked that Gemma wasn’t afraid to learn about her new world and wasn’t afraid to stand up to her husband.
It was intriguing, a bit of a slow burn and plenty of angst and frustration.

Marriage contract, enemies to lovers, #SpaceVamps

When Gemma Hara agreed to marry a stranger to save her family she had no idea what she was signing up for. Her marriage of convenience quickly proved to be more than she bargained for. Her new husband Azur, the High Lord of an alien race, is cold and careless in his dealings with her, but new discoveries about each other start to thaw the frigid barrier that keeps them from truly being together.

This was my first book by Zoey and I love her worldbuilding. I think that the duet style narration was a great choice for this audiobook because so much of the story surrounds Gemma and Azur's heated and intense interactions. Marcio and Stella made it feels like I was right there watching these two snipe at eat other, and eventually succumb to their desires. So much energy in their performances and great timing. Their voices work really well together and keep the story flowing at a good pace.

I really enjoyed my first journey into this universe Zoey has created, and I really want to learn more about the rest of the House of Kaalium!
