The Barbarian's Owned (Celestial Mates, #1) by Marla Therron Review
All Dr. Rae Ashburn wanted to do was present her latest research to her colleagues—and maybe show up her loathsome ex-boyfriend in the process. Instead, the beautiful scientist is whisked from Earth by the very alien invaders whose existence she sought to prove. Not only do they exist, but a stunning specimen of an alpha male believes it’s his destiny to mate with her.
Dragged to the alien world Ythir and trapped within its sentient jungles, Rae must fight to escape the brute whose savagery both terrifies and intrigues her. While her arrogant captor’s protective instincts keep her safe from feral predators and deadly flora, Rae must guard her heart with care—these enormous alphas mate for life, and demand total submission from the females they care for.
Review
The hero and heroine are very likable and the world is interesting. I like smart heroines.
However, we don't get as much romance as we do action nor do we get to explore this interesting world and culture enough to give the story depth.
