Such a fantastic addition to the Kindred series! I really fell in love with these characters. They suffered through so much and yet managed to find that connection with each other when they needed it. I especially enjoyed all of the different locations and layers to the story. The author kept it interesting throughout, and each time I thought I found my favorite part she brought something new to the table. This book is full of action and danger, it does have some triggers, but the emotional intensity is what really made the story. I truly enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read all about the next couple that find their way to their HEA.

Stolen: Brides of the Kindred 25 - Evangeline Anderson This continuation of the Kindred Brides Series is a blessedly long, intriquite full length novel that takes readers through several different adventures and events on this couples’ quest. Several of the new Kindred stories involve women who now work for the mothership in a professional capacity, which is a great new development and interesting how the earth women can contribute to their society other than as mates. Penelope (Penny) is an archeologist working for the mothership given the assignment to recover an ancient artifact that could destroy the world if awakened. It is evil and must not be awakened by any sun exposure. Penny has been sent together with a mated pair of kindred who unfortunately get frozen within some time bubble when they land on a dangerous outpost to fix repairs to the spaceship. Penny escapes being frozen and finds herself looking for a way to contact the mother ship at a bar filled with questionable aliens. She attracts the eye of the one hybrid Kindred/ Kru’ell one , supposed pirate, she has been warned to stay away from “V’rex”. Before she knows it she has been abducted and transferred to a strange planet ruled by a cult. There the leader “The Golden One” has drugged and developed a whole society built for childbearing and the dominance of the males. V’rex also finds himself abducted and is disturbed to find the alluring female from the spaceport also kidnapped. Since neither he nor Penny have been hypnotized they join forces to escape. Physical and mental attraction form a serious bond between the two although they do try to resist. Many crazy adventures including side-effects of the drugs, lead to an exciting , thrilling, sometimes 🔥🔥🔥escape from the cult. V’rex insists he is going to help retrieve the ancient artifact with Penny, and from there we experience a more crazy new worlds and experiences. The author hit it out of the ballpark with world and character building as well as weaving several storylines into the main storyline. The story had me booked page one thru the end. It’s a roller coaster ride of excitement, suspense, danger, strange surprises, plenty of emotional feels, sizzling chemistry, it’s a long entertaining road to a well won HEA!

I love this book!!!!! 🥰 I can’t wait for the next one.
