Hearts of Stone Series by Miranda Bridges

I've been abducted... Twice! And now my situation with this new group of aliens has gone from bad to worse. I was with a bunch of elf-like aliens who had unparalleled technology. However, now I'm in the midst of a group of primitive gargoyle aliens running around in loincloths... Which doesn't hide much, let me tell you. There's one gargoyle in particular who watches my every move, but what's under his loincloth scares me more than his beastly appearance.. moreI've been abducted... Twice! And now my situation with this new group of aliens has gone from bad to worse. I was with a bunch of elf-like aliens who had unparalleled technology. However, now I'm in the midst of a group of primitive gargoyle aliens running around in loincloths... Which doesn't hide much, let me tell you. There's one gargoyle in particular who watches my every move, but what's under his loincloth scares me more than his beastly appearance... To be sure we're worthy to breed with, the savages have us each perform a rite of passage... And by that I mean a test of survival. Navigate the terrain, scavenge for food, defend myself against wildlife - basically all the things that could cause bodily harm or death. So that's fun... And as much as I'd like to be rescued by the alien who's stalking me, it looks like I'm on my own. Maybe I shouldn't have flipped him off. But how was I supposed to know I'd need his help? Now, I'm going to have to tap into my survival skills or I'll be dead by morning. May the odds and the aliens be ever in my favour. Or something... less

I hate this place.Not that my life on Najarie was great, but at least I didn’t have a beastly alien trying to sex me up all the time. And when I say all the time, I mean all the freaking time.I haven’t forgotten Earth or the loved ones I’ve left behind. In fact, I’m willing to use any means necessary to get back to them. However, when the alien that claimed me offers to help in exchange for my body I find myself torn... moreI hate this place.Not that my life on Najarie was great, but at least I didn’t have a beastly alien trying to sex me up all the time.

However, when the alien that claimed me offers to help in exchange for my body I find myself torn. Either I’m nothing more than a breeder to him or he’s trying to find a way to persuade me to stay. And I’ll just say if that’s the case, his method is working... *It is not necessary, but highly recommended that the series be read in order. Please note this series is a spin off from The House of Kaimar.Book one: Chosen by a Beast (Makayla & Jaxar)Book two: Tamed by a Beast (Scarlett & Draal)Book Three: Seduced by a Beast less

He wants me. And this male is used to getting whatever he demands. The only problem is I don't want to be bothered. Especially not hot and bothered. But he's not getting the hint. He thinks I'm his and that he needs to claim me. If I allow myself to ask what that means it'll probably add a couple of letters to my OCD. My disorder should deter him, like it has most people. I just won't stick around long enough to find out... moreHe wants me. And this male is used to getting whatever he demands. The only problem is I don't want to be bothered.

I've been given my freedom and I have no intention of giving it away to this alien. No matter how handsome, strong, and kind he is. Just because he makes me feel things doesn't mean they're real. Or are they? less

He's a thief.And what did he steal? Yours truly.I get it that women are a hot commodity on this planet, but why me? It's not like there weren't others to choose from. Besides, I've just found my sister and I have no desire to be away from her.But this alien doesn't take no for an answer - in English or in his language. So now I'm stuck in a new village with a bunch of Boraq who would rather see me dead than mated to their Masse... moreHe's a thief.And what did he steal?

My marriage is in trouble. Jaxar and I didn't exactly have a regular romance since he abducted me and then sent me on a journey that could've resulted in my death. But that's neither here nor there. And what doesn't kill you, makes you bitter. I mean, stronger. Anyway, the point is that my husband, who I adore, is becoming distant. That, plus my hormones, are turning me into someone I don't recognize... moreMy marriage is in trouble.

And what doesn't kill you, makes you bitter. I mean, stronger. Anyway, the point is that my husband, who I adore, is becoming distant. That, plus my hormones, are turning me into someone I don't recognize. With war imminent, now is not the time to be insecure and emotional, and yet tell that to my pregnant self. All she wants to do is eat and cry. *insert eye roll here. I need to figure out how to save my relationship with Jaxar, as well as lead my people or I won't be just dead emotionally, but physically as well. And I didn't travel all across the galaxy to just give up now. Guess it's time to grab my hairpins and put on my big girl panties because I'm going to let my inner Boraq come out to play. less
