Ruling Sikthand by Victoria Aveline
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Sophia never thought she was unlucky until she was kidnapped by aliens. Twice…
Sophia had simple expectations for her planetary tour. She assumed she’d see the sights, meet new people, and fend off her boredom. She never thought she’d end the trip as an alien captive. But here she is, the guest of a grumpy, sexy, warrior king who looks at her like he’s not sure if he wants to kill her, or claim her as his own…
Sikthand hadn’t planned to take the stubborn little human hostage. But with political tensions at an all-time high, he had no choice. He would unflinchingly use her as a bargaining chip to secure better relations with the new Tremantian ruler. He would not, however, fall prey to her charms. No matter how tempting she might be…
When Sophia and Sikthand realize how far their enemies are willing to go to grab galactic power, they’re forced into an unlikely alliance—and possibly a marriage of convenience—to protect their people. It’s a good plan, too…if they don’t do anything irrational along the way. Like falling in love…

The heroine: Sophia – she was abducted by aliens but was rescued by the Clecanians. Unfortunately, the queen could not send her and the other human females home because the interplanetary legal issues with a class IV planet like Earth. Luckily the queen has taken issue with the way human females are treated and since human females have been found to be compatible with Clecanian’s and are now known to be able to incite mating marks which haven’t been seen for a long time, she has been fighting for their rights. Sophia agreed to go on a planetary tour to raise consciousness of the issues and show human females to other worlds.
The Hero: King Sikthand – when tensions arise between much of the galaxy and the Clecanian queen, Sikthand decides to implement a lockdown on the tour of human females and their guards and keep them in his city. However, one little female and her guard fought against his men and allowed the rest to escape. Now he is keeping her in his city, in the queen’s chamber of his apartment.
The Story: Sophia finds herself in captivity again for a second time. Though it is different this time since she is allowed to stay in a luxurious suite and is treated kindly. King Sikthand is a hard case to figure out. He is strong and beautiful, but also dark and dangerous. He wears full body armor at a times and when he removes the armor, he has a tall, muscular body that is covered in Tattoos. Sophia herself used to have tattoos until she was first kidnapped, and they were removed while she was knocked out.
I liked this book quite a bit. Sophia was a strong and independent woman who wasn’t afraid to speak her mind and fight for what she believed in. King Sikthand was a dark horse, from a race with a very different look, both in and out of their armor. Though he was obviously obsessed with Sophia from the start and was a bit of a stalker, through a one-way mirror in her suite.
This audiobook was told in dual points of view via solo narration and was narrated by Stephen Dexter. I really dislike solo narration, but Stephen Dexter is one of the few narrators that I will listen to in a solo narration audiobook. It doesn’t hurt at all that this series has been one of the best alien romance series that I have read to date.
