Turochs of Earth Series by Reba Max

I thought I survived the worst of the invasion… and then he showed up. Aeko, a hulking alien male, with horns, bright red skin, and a stubborn insistence on calling me his mate. I’m not his mate. No way. You can’t tackle a girl in an abandoned parking lot and expect her to marry you. Except Aeko doesn’t seem to understand that... moreI thought I survived the worst of the invasion… and then he showed up. Aeko, a hulking alien male, with horns, bright red skin, and a stubborn insistence on calling me his mate. I’m not his mate. No way. You can’t tackle a girl in an abandoned parking lot and expect her to marry you. Except Aeko doesn’t seem to understand that. And instead of talking about it, he throws me over his shoulder and hauls me out into the wilderness, away from the tenuous safety of my destroyed town, away from my friends, and away from everything I thought I knew about love. Claimed by the Alien Raider is a fast-paced alien romance, starring a feisty heroine, a stubborn, unlucky male, and a mating ceremony you wish you could experience! less

What do you do when the world ends and aliens kidnap your two best friends? I take matters into my own hands, set a trap and take one of the scary, horned males as my prisoner. He may be three times my size, built like a truck and half naked, but I’m the one holding the cattle prod in this relationship and I’m not afraid to make my captive suffer if it means saving my friends. But Dargo doesn’t seem intimidated by my threats, if anything, the whole situation is turning him on... moreWhat do you do when the world ends and aliens kidnap your two best friends?

But Dargo doesn’t seem intimidated by my threats, if anything, the whole situation is turning him on. He keeps propositioning me like we’re on a date and I don’t have him tied up. My plan is not working out like I hoped…and I’m not sure if that’s a bad thing. less

My friends think I have the perfect relationship. But every time they tease me about my happily-ever-after with my alien, I have to force a smile. They don't know how badly I messed up my mating, how much of what they see is just Adak and I barely holding things together. I think I love my mate, but I've been wrong before. And when the sytos come for us, I might lose my chance to make it right.

Carn has spent the last decade of his life as a syto experiment. He's been altered, enhanced and trained beyond anything his turoch DNA ever intended, and lost his mind in the process. He's famous for his brutal gladiatorial fights, it wasn't uncommon for his opponents to take their own lives to avoid facing him. He was a monster, a rage-fueled killing machine. And then a human female dropped out of the ceiling and into his cell.
