Alien Hunting Grounds Series by Kyla Breene

It was a mistake to let us meet, but they won't live to regret it. Ree. I've seen the worst of humanity as an ER nurse, but that didn't prepare me for the depths of evil out among the stars. They took me, altered me, and placed me in charge of nine women who suffered the same, though they don't yet know it. They each sleep in their protective cryogenic chambers. A crash separated us, and now we face the dangers of an alien hunting ground... moreIt was a mistake to let us meet, but they won't live to regret it. Ree. I've seen the worst of humanity as an ER nurse, but that didn't prepare me for the depths of evil out among the stars. They took me, altered me, and placed me in charge of nine women who suffered the same, though they don't yet know it. They each sleep in their protective cryogenic chambers. A crash separated us, and now we face the dangers of an alien hunting ground. Hunters come here to stalk the most dangerous males found among the stars. I must save them, but how will I survive the hunters . . . or the prey? Thivoll. I never thought my mate would be among the more primitive species. When I saw them trying to recapture her, I knew it was my chance to redeem myself for being unable to protect the women of my pride. My species was once the most feared in the known universe. Until we took the path of peace. But I'll embrace my ancient barbaric past, because she is mine. It's time the hunters became the hunted. Books in this series end in a HFN. They can be read alone, but it will take all of the women and their mates to fight for their collective HEA. It will be more enjoyable if read in sequence. This series is meant for readers 18+ and includes explicit sex and violence. Beware of triggers. less

Once a marine, always a marine. Kira. Even if you're light years from Earth being followed around by a giant lizard with so much arrogance, he occasionally chokes on it. Not to death, or anything. Nothing as useful as that. I will admit, he's handy in a fight. Not to mention a whole lot of fun to tease. I just wish he'd stop calling me out for walking around yowling like a cat in heat. Except replace yowling for cursing, then I think you've got the picture... moreOnce a marine, always a marine. Kira.

Except replace yowling for cursing, then I think you've got the picture. Regardless of what my raging libido thinks, we are not going there. Nope. No way. Drasuk. She is the most confounding being I have ever met. With explosive anger, tirades for any occasion, and insults that make little sense. Despite all my efforts to teach her how to say something clearly, she still utters complete insanity. It's oddly endearing, attractive, even, but drakonids simply don't mate outside our species. It isn't done. Of course, I'm not thinking about that. Preposterous. I just know we are better when we are together. Working towards a common goal. Ours is simple. Every hunter must die. less

Can hope and understanding forge an unlikely bond? Eli. In some sort of sick joke, I finally find the courage to give my stepfather exactly what he deserves, just to end up kidnapped, then stuck on an alien island with one of the most violent beings imaginable. The octo-man says he's just biding his time until he can make a meal out of me, and I only have so much time to convince him there's a different way to live. That we are only as strong as the people we have around us... moreCan hope and understanding forge an unlikely bond? Eli.

The octo-man says he's just biding his time until he can make a meal out of me, and I only have so much time to convince him there's a different way to live. That we are only as strong as the people we have around us. All I get in return are blank, shark-eyed looks, but I'm determined to convince him. It's that, or death. If it takes me a thousand words to make him understand, well, then that's what it takes. Wroahk. There's something very wrong with me and I will hunt down every one of those gray slimes for taking me from my world. She's disgusting, won't stop talking, smells terrible, and I should have killed her the moment I saw her. Except I couldn't. Instead, I'm protecting her. Not that she makes it easy. She has the worst survival instincts of anyone I've ever met, and since I've decided no one can hurt her, not even herself, my life will never be the same. Yes, I will make those slimes scream as I tear them to pieces and feast. less

Violence is never the answer… until it is. Rin. Brutality has been the cage surrounding me for most of my life. Each regime comes and goes, but the goal remains the same. To take our voices. Our education. Our freedom. Now this alien says he plans to confine me. No. This is a new world, and I refuse to live the same oppressive way light years from Earth. His actions let me know he doesn't just embrace violence, he loves it, and I just can't accept that. Or him. Kuret... moreViolence is never the answer… until it is. Rin.

His actions let me know he doesn't just embrace violence, he loves it, and I just can't accept that. Or him. Kuret. How will I protect her? How can I fulfill my promise if she says one more act of aggression, and she will leave me? The moment I see her, I can't keep images out of my head of how her white hair would look against my skin. But it cannot be. She is far too young for a donor, and I can't be the cause of her death. I would never forgive myself. It shouldn't matter if she can't forgive me for what I did when we first met. It's not as if males and females can be friends… or more… but hope simply won't die. Books in this series end in as HFN.

Revenge tastes sweet. OliviaI always thought being alone was best and would have gladly been a recluse. The joke about a hermit living in a cave stopped being funny the moment the big creep trapped me in one. Now I just need to escape. And definitely stop thinking about ridiculous things… like those big, stupid arms wrapped around me. Would they make me feel safe? KroaichoThis is not the place I would have chosen to rebuild a hoard or to bring up a zhannel, but I will do what I must... moreRevenge tastes sweet.

KroaichoThis is not the place I would have chosen to rebuild a hoard or to bring up a zhannel, but I will do what I must. There are treasures here none of my kind have ever seen, but just as many dangers. Some treasures should have never been gathered. Like this human. Always signaling green, always speaking of things that make no sense, always trying to escape. This must be why my zhann said no when I asked for a pet. They are trouble. less
