Brides of the Kindred 12 (Alien Scifi Romance)

Better than the previous book, this story held my attention and I am glad I have continued to read this series. In this book, EA brought something new to the series and although it was a long book, it seemed just right because of the novelty of the new planet and new characters. I love this author's writing and will continue on with this series.

I love this Kindred Bride series! Each book is so well written and keeps me engaged from the beginning to the end. They both made me mad at times but I love that they got pass all the issues that were keeping them from enjoying and being with each other. Makes me wish for a Kindred man of my own. :) Can't wait for the next book in this wonderful series.

I liked this series. I thought it was entertaining. I didn't get bored. I thought it was interesting, but I also thought it was a bit too long. I wish these books would be shorter... More books faster with different couples, but shorter books is what I prefer. Maybe I just have a short attention span. Not sure. This is a good read though.

Another winner in Evangeline Anderson's Kindred series. This story is full of suspense, love and mystery. Each new story just gets better and more entertaining. My vote for best reads is Evangeline Anderson!!!

Wonderful! Finally a feisty, strong Kindred bride. She has to be to mate w/ her cyborg "enhanced" Dark Kindred. Evangeline really stepped up her writing and moved us into an awesome level of depth of characters and engaging story line. This is #12 in a series that I recommend reading in order as the stories intertwine and build from one to the next. This series is full of erotic love scenes that are probably intended for readers of an appropriate age for such things.

I dearly loved Mei-Li and Six's story. I highly recommend this book and think you will all agree that Evangeline's writing is moving to the next level. I enjoyed this gifted novel and am giving it my honest 5 star rating!!!!

Only Evangeline can master and weave with her stories of The Kindred and she has surpassed herself with this stand alone novel yet blends seamlessly with the evolution of the whole Kindred Series!!!

Living a cold and emotionless life since the age of fourteen, Dark Kindred Six has had all his memories and feelings of a loving childhood and a tragic life altering consequence blocked and never dealt with by the inhabitants of Planet Zeaga Four. A Plant of mechanized inhabitants, created in test tubes with strains of Kindred DNA. Sent to Planet Earth on the verge of all out war to Claim his Kindred bride.

Mei-Li , exotic, beautiful and petite adopted daughter of an influential Father and a member of the World Security Council appears to be a delicate flower on the surface but in her heart and soul she is a warrior. Using her skills and natural loving nature to help children through even the darkest of experiences in her job as a Children's Social Worker Mei Li must adapt her skills to help her emotionally withdrawn Kindred Soulmate Six deal with his childhood in order to heal his tattered heart and allow him to feel once again.
Will it be too late? Will Earth and Zeaga Four wage an all out War?
Will Mei Li bring out the sensual and erotic Kindred DNA?
Deep questions lead this reader in a none stop marathon of reading to be lead to the question-what's next in The Kindred Series?!

Excitedly waiting for Book#13 Cursed to come out this Fall is an understatement! Like all of Evangeline's books, Enhanced is a work of intelligence, Science, and a lesson in love and many powers!

Evangeline Anderson has outdone herself with Enhanced. Mei Li and Six are the best duo so far out of all the Kindred series. If you are a Kindred reader you know what I'm talking about.
Mei Li has been dream sharing with a strange man that looks part robot. It scared the carp out of her. Her adaptive father being in politics forbid her being called as a bride because she was to important to her job to leave earth! Evangeline Anderson put a lot of real life situations into this story in my opinion. Six is from Z4 a planet where they don't have feelings. ENHANCED is one of my favorites! Six and Mei Li go through some terrifying trials and tribulations that most couples would just call it quits.
Very strong heroin in this story. I love it.
We see some of our characters from previous stories which I absolutely love.

Evangeline Anderson keep them coming! I can't wait to get my hands on the next book.
To the ladies that say these stories are Ho Hum! I can't believe your saying that! It's true that these stories are on the same line but that's what I love. The Kindred are calling Brides!! What do you expect!?
Ladies do yourself a favor grab ENHANCED you won't be sorry. The SEX IS SO GREAT OMG! It made me wish I had a special someone in my life right now. Out of this world. Wishing there truly was Kindred Warrior's!

*Sigh* I LOVED this book. The dynamic between Six and Mei-Li kept me from wanting to put this book down. At one point I did in fact have put this book down but only because I didn't want the book to end. Mrs. Anderson is an amazing author that keeps you coming back for more.

I could read this series over and over again.

This is the twelfth book in this series. I would suggest reading the other eleven so you can better connect with the characters and their background stories. But if you haven’t read the other books you won’t be too lost. Each one of her books centers on a set of characters with some of your favorites from her past books in the series making appearances.

This series is fantastic! It’s the first one that I recommend to anyone looking for something great, not just good, but great to read. It’s great when you come across an author that not only makes you fall in
love with the characters but actually keeps you involved with them throughout the series.

I write SPOILER FREE reviews. The thought of spoilers make me want to throat punch someone and I would never want to ruin a book for someone else.

We were introduced to Six and Mei-Li in the previous book, Devoured. He is living on an emotionless planet and she is what they consider as a "feeler". From the moment I was introduced to Six and Mei-Li I was hooked. I mean how could a relationship work between the two of them?

I felt their backstories were well rounded and I liked the overall character development. It was interesting to read about a character who had no emotions. It kept me thinking the whole time. I also liked how Mei-Li was a strong female and not one of those to-stupid-to-live heroines.

We see the return of some of our favorite leading ladies and someone might have finally had her babies. And thank the goddess for that, I was seriously starting to feel bad for her! I have a feeling Evangeline will be revisiting a certain sassy and curvy lady and her twin Kindred warriors in the future...

Major tension is brewing with the introduction of a new super villain and what an evil villain he is. Tension is running high on Earth and the Mothership. I'm so anxious right now to see how everything is going to play out.

We are also introduced to our next couple in the bonus chapters at the end of Enhanced. I have a feeling they are going to be a very comical pair. She gave us a tease for the next book and I am always so thankful that she does that. It helps keep me out of a complete book hangover!

I would recommend this book and series to anyone looking for a quick witted, space adventure filled with smoking hot Kindred warriors, adventure, danger and of course happily ever afters!

Being a long time major fan ofEvangeline Anderson, especially her Kindred Bride Series, I was thrilled when Kindred Brides #12 finally came out. With this series I highly recommend reading the books in order and they are so amazing you will be addicted from Book #1 "Claimed".

As the story has been outlined in the summary and by numerous reviewers I will write my review concentrating on my impressions.
We were introduced to Mei-li and Six in the last book "Devoured", so their story line was set in motion.
Mei-li is a different kind of heroine in the Kindred Series, appearing small and fragile she is anything but.
Although she is fearful of her dream sharing with a big scary looking cyborg appearing Six, Mei-li is driven in her career as a social worker for children in high risk situations. As the story progresses we find that Mei-li is a force to be reckoned with.
Fiercely devoted and protective of the children she determined to protect Mei-li will put herself in danger to save them.
She is a heroine that I liked and enjoyed. Small as she this heroine will surprise you from her fighting spirit to her determination to go after and defend what she wants ,which is eventually a very hot sexy Six.

Six is not just your average alpha hunky Kindred, he is a Dark Kindred. Although not born to this particular breed, Six has buried a horrendous family tragedy by purging his emotions and building a stark robot like existence on Zeaga complete with bionic eye and arm (his enhancements). He is totally perplexed by his small human fated mate and even more unable to logically figure out why he is so strongly drawn to her as well as his need to protect her.

The thrilling,exciting, heart wrenching, smexy romantic story of this unlikely couple is an amazing, page turning, reading experience. It is a great addition to the series. There is a well paced gradual build up of the characters romance and oh so hot love scenes as only Evangeline Anderson can write them.

Evangeline Anderson is a genius at world building, her descriptions creatively painting the new places we experience in this book (like Zeaga and a Medical Enhancement Center), as well as happily revisit the Mother Ship and many of the beloved characters from the previous books. We are also introduced to Yipper, an alien surgeon and I hope that Sylvan will be offering him a permanent place on the mothership as I hope to see more of this strange funny alien. (As he would say "yes I do,yes I do.')

Besides the central story, the evil dark forces that has been part of the plot in previous book is being built upon, expanded and will carry over to the next book. So while there is a very well deserved HEA there is also a bit of a cliffhanger at the end that leads into Book #13, "Cursed." Can't Wait!

I LOVE THIS BOOK talk about an emotional roller coaster I couldn't put it down I cant wait to find out what happens next Evangeline Anderson has wrote another amazing story that is not only intense but exhilarating I think out of all the brides of kindred book series this is the best so far and I hope you all love it as much as I did.

six is a dark kindred after his family's death when he was a child he had an emotional dampener put in him and began to live on z4 where it a crime to have or show any feeling at all those who do are immediately purged (killed) six is in the has worked his way up the high social latter on z4 he is the protégé of one and is hope to one day replace one that is until he starts to dream share with Mei-Li an earth women because of his kindred blood he cant control the dreams he has so two the eyes of the collective or as he refers to himself the nose of the collective he can smell any feel crime and has never liked six when he is summoned to meet with one two tries to intimidate six into showing some feelings but doesn't so much as bat an eye when confronted with the sniffers genetically alter dogs like things that can smell feel crimes. six is told he must go claim Mei-Li and bring her to Z4 she must get an enhancement before she can come onto the planet and she will be given special dispensation for her feeling but if she intends to stay she will need to get an emotion blocker two is on the medical barge when six brings Mei-Li onto it and tell her not to let her time run out he because it would give him reason to purge her
Mei-Li Hastings is a social worker while she was on her way home from a difficult day where she had to call the cops on a man who was choking one of the children she was helping he was in her house and he try's to kill her when six decides she cant take care of herself she is taken from earth to z4 where her life is turned upside-down by the unusual man she has been dreaming of for months it causes the earth council to declare war on the kindred because Mei-Li is the head of the councils daughter he doesn't take kindly to having his daughter kidnapped by the one person the kindred council assured him that six had no interest in culling her as a bride

What will happen next will six fall in love with Mei-Li or will he just bring her back to earth and leave after his claiming period is done? will two kill six or Mei-Li? Will they finally figure out what's going on with head chancellor Terex before its to late? will earth attack the kindred? to find out the answer to these questions and more I strongly suggest you read this book 5 gold stars for an amazing book

Mei-Li dreams with the mysterious warrior have exhausted her, and while she should be scared of him she isn't, at least not in the way others expect her to be. When Commander Sylvan told her Six would not be coming to claim her she was relived, up until the point where he just showed up for her.

Six does not want to claim a female, in fact he doesn't even know what to do with one. Being ordered by the collective though has him changing his plans even if he doesn't understand why they care if he claims Mei-Li. One month on his planet with her and then things can return to normal. How much could change in one month?

Mei-Li might be a tiny little thing, but she's fierce and doesn't let her size dictate what she can and can't do. She's strong and caring about those around her and her empathy helps her with her job, so she can help others the best she can. She's sweet until you get on her wrong side then you get a warrior, even if it is in a pint sized package.

Six is a protector even if he has no emotions. He has a strong since of right and wrong and will do what is necessary to protect those in his care. He's new to the world of emotions or new to them since they were dampened when he was 14. He might not understand whats going on with him, but you see his willingness to accept new things and try something new, even if it makes him uncomfortable.

The story is about them and their discovery of each other, but it also continues the story line of the kindred series. Showing you more of the troubles the Kindred are coming to face and how the new couple is a part of the action and how their situation effects whats going on around them. We see more of Ur and his plans from within his current body and how he plans on screwing things up even more for the Kindred and the people on Earth.

A great continuation of this series with this world growing bigger and bigger with every book, making you fall deeper into this world with each new addition.

I absolutely love this series, it is still one of my favorites 12 books in.
This book is about Six, a high ranking member of the Collective on Zeaga 4, and Mei-Li, a social worker and the daughter of Senator Hastings on the World Counsel. The senator doesn't want the Kindred warriors to call brides any longer after his daughter starts dream sharing with a Dark Kindred. The people on Earth are quickly forgetting that the Kindred not so long ago saved them from annihilation from the Scourge and do not want the Kindred around anymore. Six saves Mei-Li from a bad situation and takes her back to Zeaga 4 for their Claiming Period. The Dark Kindred have an emotional damper installed on them so they can't have emotions, neither good or bad.
Granted we only met Six for a brief moment in Devoured I knew he was going to have a very interesting book because of his emotional damper, his lack of social skills and the hints that there are horrible things that happened in his past. The events in this book make an awesome set up for a few more books and I'll be more than happy to read them ALL!! Can't wait till the next one :)

Enhanced is the most emotionally charged book in the Kindred series, thus far. I will not give away any spoilers, because I wouldn't want to detract from the beauty of this book.

Mei-Li was adopted and raised by an emotionally distant mother and a politically ambitious father. A piece of her has always been missing and she fills that void by immersing herself in her work, as a social worker. She faces many dangers protecting the youth of Tampa, Florida, but nothing is quite as frightening as the Dark Kindred visiting her dreams every night.

Six has been given his orders: Bring his Bride back to Zeaga Four for their claiming period. Zeaga Four is a distant planet where enhancements are required and emotions are punishable by death. Thanks to Six's emotional damper he is unable to feel anything, because if he could, he certainly wouldn't feel guilt for abducting the beautiful Mei-Li. When a new threat emerges and unites with an old one. Six will have to use these new instincts and sensations to protect not only Mei-Li, but Earth.

Enhanced can be read as a stand alone book, but I highly suggest you read the Kindred Series in order. Claimed is the first book in the series and has had me hooked from the beginning. Enjoy!

I've enjoyed the entire Kindred series very much and tend to [only] leave reviews for books I like a ton or love (as I simply don't finish books that don't engage me). I've loved a few of the Kindred books, but liked all of them a lot. Both 11 & 12 where LOVES. I think it was the inclusion of more "real-life" drama that held my interest so much more in those last two works. I never noticed the length dragging, and for the first time, Kindred really evoked emotion.

Anderson continues to get better and better, which is the hope for all writers! And these two books, with their exploration of domestic abuse and provocative family dysfunction was right up my alley. Give me the facts, and wrap it in a fantastical package and I'm on board. All the neat Kindred elements are still in place: hot alpha male, reluctant heroine, weird space stuff, and tongue-in-cheek dialog. The stories have meat and bite, and they were great. Cant' wait for 13!

What can I say about Enhanced? From the time that Devoured ended, I have been waiting on this book. Six caught me attention in just the brief glimpse of him in Devoured and he certainly did not disappoint. He is tough and even without emotions, I knew I was going to fall in love with him. He had been through so much and I wanted him to get everything he deserved. I am also a big fan of Mei-Li. She was a strong female character and that is something I love to see. Personally, I like all kinds of books but the Brides of the Kindred series has taken the top spot on my list. I have never read a series like this before and it is refreshing to read something that is completely different and not something that is like so many other books with just small differences. Also, this is a long series and the books are longer. This make me so happy. Every time a new one comes out I know I'm going to have a book to get lost in for at least a day. I can't wait until Cursed comes out.

I really, really loved these characters, particularly Mei-Li. She's sweet-natured, smart, and professional, and obviously based on a real-life person the author cares about (she says as much in the dedication).

The beginning of this book is set on earth, and that was actually my favorite part. We're given a glimpse into the world of a social worker that felt honest, fair, and loving - both to the social worker and to the families she represented. It sounds like one of those "toughest jobs you'll ever love." I think I'd get burnt out in a week, though.

I've read most of the BOTK books, but not all. Like the other books, this one stands alone just fine. There were a couple of characters that I hadn't heard of before, but their presence didn't make me feel lost or confused in any way.

The plot is action-packed. It takes the author a bit longer than usual to get to the sex, but it's good sex, so I can be patient. :)

If you like other stories by Evangeline, you can rest assured that you'll like this one too. I was given an advance copy in exchange for an objective review.

I've been impatiently waiting for Enhanced to be released so I can learn more about Six and Mei-Li. Going into this story, I imagined Six to be very tough and rugged and hard tempered due to his enhanced exterior that was seen during dream sharing in Devoured. I was worried with him living on an emotionless planet What does that mean for Mei-Li?

Beginning the story, you get to know Mei-Li, she is kind and generous and she works with children that have a hard upbringing. That made me instantly know, that Six has a childhood past that will come forward and I was DYING to get to it!
Six's story unfolding has left me with so much emotion. I felt that Evangeline put her heart and soul into this story and it was AMAZING. I LOVED this story. I was thinking that Mei-Li was the tiny, but tough earth woman that would set that boy straight and I loved reading about it.
I always enjoy getting reacquainted with the characters from previous stories, thank you for letting Cat have those babies!
I don't know how this author does it, but don't stop!

Evangeline Anderson has done it again with Enhanced! I have always loved Sci-Fi stories and shows, but cyborgs and robots were just a part of the story until Enhanced! that is. I always believed they were cold and unfeeling, but when you add Kindred DNA watch out for some very intense feelings that lead to some HOT scenes.
Without trying to give too much info away... There were many twists and turns but you could see where Anderson was going with the book. I never felt like I got lost (since I was familiar with previous kindred books) and all the characters really tied together ( new and old). I would say that by this point you should have read the previous books to stay up on what's happening. There are villains and characters that develop and overlap so it's not really a book you can jump into without confusion.
I love the Kindred Bride series! Each book is so well written and keeps me engaged from the beginning to the end. I can't wait for the next one!

At this point the books just keep getting better and better. I can no longer say I have a fav because I fell in love with each book as the series went on. This series was so amazing. I literally read all 17 books over the past two weeks and couldn't do anything else not even watch my favorite shows because I was so sucked into this world of the kindred. Storyline, characters, and chemistry was amazing. I can't wait for more books in this series to come out!

Five stars all the wayy!! ?????

I had the privilege of getting an ARC of this book and gotta say miss Anderson didn't disappoint. Loved Enhanced as much as the other Brides of the Kindreds books.

But... This book is a rollacoaster of emotions one minute I was on the edge of my chair the other crying as a baby or submerge in romance, yes you read right we got some hotttt, (correction) steaming parts!!

Mei-li is one of my favorites so far, she is a hero her self, love the woman empowerment she got going on in this book and her true natural love for others. Six, on the other hand is an honest lost soul, suppressed to ever feel do to some life unexpected events. See where I'm going with this? Yess!! Is the perfect match.

Enhanced was absolutely amazing I couldn't drop my iPad for a second. This one will get to you on a total different level. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did!! 

Lots of love for Evangeline Anderson and please keep them coming!! 

I always eagerly anticipate a new kindred book coming out...this did not disappoint.

Six was introduced in the last book and at first I was unable to really get a feel for how his book was going to draw me in. He seemed scary and completely not like any other kindred we are familiar with...so I couldn't imagine him actually "claiming" his bride. The set up for the claiming period was very clever and I started to get sucked in very quickly from the get go.

Mei-li was introduced in a wonderful way. Anderson was able to make Six's spying mission a really quick, but thorough, look into what type of person she was. Her interaction with her charges and coworkers really showed us what her personality was. She was completely, and I mean COMPLETELY, the opposite of Six. These types of couples always make the best matches in my books. :).

Without trying to give too much info away... There were many twists and turns but you could see where Anderson was going with the book. I never felt like I got lost (since I was familiar with previous kindred books) and all the characters really tied together ( new and old). I would say that by this point you should have read the previous books to stay up on what's happening. There are villains and characters that develop and overlap so it's not really a book you can jump into without confusion.

Now to wait for the next one...:-)

Another amazing book in the series. Evangeline Anderson never ceases to amaze me with her creativity and imagination. I didn't t know what to expect with the whole "enhancement" thing going on, but love the way the story plays out. I hope the series never ends because I'm in love with all her characters and love that they are always connected and featured in all her books. We get to read about their ongoing lives as well as the featured characters lives. In short, I loved the book!

Six and Mei-Li make an unforgettable as they search to fulfill obligations and struggle to find out if they can make a life together. One that was not ordered by superiors or demanded by the government. Six is learning what it is like to be human again. To have feelings and to want to love with your heart and your body. But the painful memories of his past keep filtering in, is it worth it to him to have the heart and body of this wonderfully exotic woman, but have deal with the pain emotions bring?
Mei- Li will fulfill her obligations. She signed up for the bride draft as she had to. But when the time came for the Claiming, she did not expect to feel for this emotionless man who came to her. In her dreams he was anything but emotionless! Could she teach him how to feel again? She wanted to in the worse way! Could Six keep her safe on his strange planet while they explored their wants and needs? Could they make a life together on her planet, where her life and her friends awaited her?
I have not had the pleasure of reading the first of these stories, but I do intend to catch up with Mei-Li and Six!

Wow! What a great addition to the Kindred series. Evangeline never fails to suck me in to her books right from the beginning. Sci-fi romance is a genre I never thought I'd get into, just not my thing. But Evangeline definitely changed my mind from book #1 of the series. I'm always looking forward to the next installment. Enhanced was no exception. I loved Mei-Li and Six. I could feel the chemistry oozing off the pages. The first kiss scene was HOT! Probably one of my favorites! This book had so much emotion.It was sad, exciting, sexy all in one. Did I mention hot?! Evangeline HOT! I didn't want it to end! I can't wait for book.
*I strongly advise starting this series from the beginning. You will enjoy it more with the back stories. :0)

I love this series and always wonder will Evangeline Anderson be able to write another Kindred love story that's as great as the ones that came before. Well....she did!!!! I think Enhanced might even be a little better than the last few Brides of the Kindred books. I love how Mei-Li is so strong and courageous. She's small but she's full of fire and I loved how she and Six were together.

I'd definitely recommend reading this!!!

Wow - Evangeline Anderson NEVER ceases to amaze! Her Brides of the Kindred series is one of my absolute favorites, and she has really outdone herself with Enhanced. Her ability to spin tales of new worlds, new races, and to bring it all together with a sexy hot story filled with emotion and longing just gets better with each and every book she writes. Mei-Li and Six have a wonderful rollercoaster ride of a relationship, and I loved checking in on favorite old characters from past books. As usual, Evangeline leaves me hungering for the next book - I can't wait! Enhanced and the other books in this series are the reason Evangeline is on my "always buy" list!

Loved Enhanced & can't wait for Cursed #13. I couldn't wait for the next in the Kindred Series to come out. I enjoyed reading all of the previous Kindred series. I love how Evangeline comes up with the story lines. How each Kindred is different & how they all interconnect with each other. The first 11 were so enjoyable to read & #12 was no exception. I don't want to give anything away so I will just say I can't wait until I see how Evangeline deals with the Silver she mentioned.

The story beautifully weaves in and out of past stories to follow a group of women and their alien mates, you have to read the entire series in oust for some of it to make sense, but it is well worth the time! I personally am addicted to this series, it takes the reader through a roller-coaster ride as the characters overcome their unique challenges and love is always the common theme. . I can't wait for book 13 'Cursed' to follow the fabric she has already begun weaving in book 12 'Enhanced'!

Always a tasteful treat from the wonderful mind of Ms. Anderson. Bestowing upon us another delectable Kindred to cause our hearts to race, our mouths to salivate and our imagination to wish for a genie to grant us a wish for a Kindred of our own!!!!
