Craving Maul (Star Joined Book 1)

So exciting and original, this book is a great time. Lexi is a very strong, brave character. I admire her loyalty and love for her sister and think although the lengths she is willing to go to to try and save her is pretty wild/dangerous, it's so impressive. During this personal mission her presence brushes his, leading to her encountering Maul. I won't spoil anything, but I will say that this meet-cute is jaw dropping, and her reaction is pretty cute. People can be terrible, and betrayal litters the couple's path. The writing flows very well, and character motivations are clear. I definitely felt the tension. Can this pair make it, and with everything going on, can Lexi save her sister? Wonderful book, and I expect Book 2 will be just as solid.

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review. Lexi Miller is part of an Earth task force attempting to identify who is kidnapping her people! This is personal for her, as her sister Isla is one of the victims. Lexi goes undercover to an off world slave market, with only her telepathic implant connection to Jack as backup. Once in the market she is noticed by all as an exotic, but mostly by Maul Lathuria, a Rathturian warrior. Lexi is his mate, and the fight, and subsequent chase is on!
The characters are interesting and well developed. The plot is similar to others, but has several very intriguing twists. There is some adult content, but it is very appropriate and well done. I would recommend this book to others.

I have to say that initially I was intimidated by how detailed and complex the alien world was in this novel. There were so many alien races and politics that I wasn't sure if I would stick with the story. I am so glad I did keep reading! However, the author has created a very detailed world that is almost limitless. Not only were Lexie and Maul a great couple but the success of their bonding sets the stage for plenty more books in this series. This book had everything you could want - action, romance, intrigue and oh yes romance. While this book does stand on its own, the author has already promised the next in the series and I for one will be looking forward to it.

Hot & intense in every way! Amazing story between an alien Maul and a beautiful human Lexi who went through rigorous training from the Bureau to be a slave to find her sister who was missing and has suspicions that her sister was taken by aliens, then she met Maul the powerful silver alien during an operation that was set-up. This story is full suspense, thrill, & non-stop actions between the main characters and different alien villains & throw in a human villain in the mix and things got very interesting. Also, an added bonus in this story is the special bond that Maul has with his symbiotic partner Marketh who is boisterous, opinionated, and quite entertaining.

Sometimes, when I really like a book, all I can really say is that I really liked it. Mostly because I'm so focused on going out and finding the next book after it. I didn't want this one to end. I would have loved to have gone straight into the next story. I think the best thing one can say is that a book made you rush out to get the next one. It only really catches you up if you bump up against the fact that maybe the next one isn't out yet. Which seems to be the case. The characters were interesting. The story was interesting. You just knew Jack was going to be trouble. You really want to find out what happened to her sister.

I enjoyed this story. It was engaging and I liked the world building and the various aliens. Lexi is determined to find her missing sister and Maul is on a taskforce to check out the slave trade when their paths cross. Maul recognizes her as his mate before he even sees her and his reaction is pretty extreme. What ensues is a real emotional roller coaster. Betrayal, unanswered questions, unexpected help, and romance all of which follows them to his planet. This is my first book by these authors but won't be my last. I voluntarily received an ARC and this is my honest opinion. I recommend this book and look forward to the next one. Enjoy! ???

Humans are viewed as primitives not worthy of participating in Tribunal decisions. That is, until they are seen as breeding mates. Lexi spent months preparing to find her kidnapped sister. Maul derails all of her undercover plans when he claims her as his bonded mate. The fast pace with well-crafted worlds and cultures makes this book superior. I especially enjoyed Marketh, the little symbiote partner implanted directly into Maul’s brain. Layers of subterfuge and greed build the foundation for several more satisfying reads.

This book is. . .wow. . . I rarely write reviews but. . .wow. . .to be honest I started this book with pretty low standards, I thought I was going to be disappointed, but wow, the book started slow but it gave good insight to the lives the characters were living before they encountered one another. And props the the author(s?) Because they're first meeting was so perfect, I got what I wanted and I didn't even know what I wanted! It. Was. Perfect. I have yet to see a book that pushes their main love interests together so fast and do it so well. It was a nice surprise. If there are any review less than 3 stars, please ignore them haters cause this book is grade A!!

ARC review for "Craving Maul" What happens when a Maul finds his other half is best described a going bezerk. Lexi has offered herself up to uncover an intergalactic slave trade in the hopes she can find her abducted sister and only family. When Maul a forth striped red mask investigator crosses her path and changes everything. They fall in love but that same love has the possibility to destroy their very lives. A roller coaster ride with a happy ending and move adventure to come. I can wait to read the next couples story in this world Sara Page and Sean Moriarty have made.

Interesting story where a woman whose sister mysteriously disappeared has volunteered to be taken herself in an attempt to find her. When at the slave auction area, she encounters her mate and there begins a relationship with a male who is willing to do whatever it takes to keep her with him. Very abrupt ending--is clear there is another story to come but it does have an epilogue that wraps up the story nicely. Enjoyed the start to this series. Well written, fast paced, and developed characters.

I voluntarily agreed to read and review a free copy of this book.
I loved this book and look forward to reading the next book in the series.
I read this in one go because I couldn't put it down. If you like a good story with a strong female lead as well as a strong male then you should like this book.
Lexi risks her life in an attempt to find her sister only she finds a mate instead.
He vows to help her find her sister because he is also investigating the slave trade. If you want to know what adventures they get up to you will just have to read the book.

Wow! I freaking loved this! Very detailed with a whole universe of different aliens and planets. The story left me no choice but to devour this book and kept me wondering what was going to happen next. I loved reading about all the different aliens. I loved Maul and Lexi! Lexi was a strong heroine that no matter what kind of situation she was in she never backed down. Maul is everything and more you could ask for in an alpha male......alien. I loved his protectiveness of Lexi. I look forward to Isla's book! I'm hoping we get more of the Rathturians as well.

Alexus's sister has been kidnapped, along with thousands of other men, women,and children. By aliens. She has come up with a dangerous plan to get her back and put a stop to whoever is responsible. But things NEVER go as planned. She didn't count on the big silver lizard like alien who insists she is his bond mate or the lust he induces that has her actting like a rabbit! A chase across the galaxy and more danger back on his home planet has this book hopping. Wonderful characters, great world building. I voluntarily reviewed this book as an ARC for Hidden Gems.

Very cool, science fiction/futuristic book. When her sister goes missing like so many others Lexi doesn't just accept it, no, she goes to find her. What she finds along the way may change her outlook on life. She thinks that she knows what to expect, but things don't go the way she thought they would. Maul is great, kind of like a space cop, he is drawn to Lexi and wants to take her away, but she has to find her sister. I really enjoyed this story, it was fun, exciting, had drama and adventure.

If you enjoy your Sci-fi romances with intricate characters and a detailed plot that is filled with intrigue, espionage, action , suspense and the ultimate in world building - then look no further!
I have to be honest this has been sitting in my trb pile because of the blurb - I though it would be a quick down and dirty all fluff no substance- I was so wrong!
This does end on a cliff hanger! The OMG no way kind

I am looking forward to book 2 - Hint HInt - soon please -

Craving Maul a ARC review

This was a good read. Here we have Lexi she is trying to find her sister that went missing and well she is looking for her she came across her bond mate in here is where she tries to understand the pull she has for Maul in the time they spent together they are try to find the missing sister and fighting their enemies that are trying to torn them apart. This was a very amazing read I love knowing new world's out of our Galaxy this is going to be a very great Series to keep us looking forward to next one.

I received this story, this is my voluntary review.

Craving Maul is a quick and enjoyable read. It has vivid emotion-evoking imagery that has me invested in the characters. It offers drama, action, intrigue, and romance that kept me thoroughly entertained. I appreciated the pace of the story, as well as the interactions between Maul and Marketh that had me smiling. I adored the dynamic between Maul and Lexi, as well as their journey towards happiness. Definitely worth the read. Looking forward to Isla's story.

Different book about bonded mates. Interesting enough, but not enough details about Maul, Lexi or the other characters. Would have helped to know more about the symbiotes. More backstories would have made this a better book. Received this book as a ARC for an honest review. Honestly, it was a good read and I'm considering reading the next book in the series.

But this book is AMAZING. Both writers did an amazing job and I'm looking foreward to following and continue reading from both.

The details were great. Story line was 'stick my nose in and never come out' type of plot. I'm super pumped for the second book. Loved the romance and love between the two main characters. Sci do part was awesome. 5 star I wish I could give more.

Xoxoxo

I found this book on Facebook and read it for free on KU but I will be buying it to add to my kindle library.

I willingly reviewed this book by receiving an Advanced Reader's Copy.
if you find yourself in the same position as mr
What can I say other than this book is an amazing read, be sure to have a few snacks around to ward off hunger as you will not be able to put this book down. Sensual and intriguing, this one is definitely being purchased for my personal library, as I am already eager to read it again and again and again. Don't blame me when you get hooked on this book, blame it on author Sara Page.

I was absolutely fascinated by this story and I really didn't want to put it down. I read deep into the night, despite having to go to work early in the morning. The detailed world building and depth of the characters was wonderful, and I can't wait to read more in this series. I was actually disappointed when I finished reading, because I didn't want it to end. On the other hand, I couldn't wait to find out what would happen at the end.

There are 23 alien races ruling our area of space. They don't think much humans but have decided to protect the weak humans from slavery..even if it's okay to enslave some species. Our h is going to become a slave to try to find her sister. The H is going to investigate illegal slave trading. When the H sees the h he freaks out and takes her. They ended up as bonded by fate but embrace the love as problems arise. It was interesting and I look forward to the next book. I received an ARC for an honest review.

Hmmm that was interesting. I'm not usually one for alien books. For me there's a lot of confusing and talk I don't understand. But overall this was a pretty good story. I liked both the characters. She was super determined and he was strong and sweet. They had a great bond and loved the ending. Definitely will read the next one to find out more

First book by these authors and I AM HOOKED. I'm not usually a fan on sci-fi (usually is my least favorite romance genre) but WOW. I loved the storyline and the character development. Loved all the alien details put into the book. I loved the romance aspect of Lexi's and Maul's relationship too. I need a Maul for myself. GREAT read. I can't read to read book 2.Sign me up for another ARC.

This was an interesting Sci-Fi romance with colorful characters and plot twists. I found the politics of the various life forms a bit hard to follow, though these details lay groundwork for other books within this universe, so I get it, even if it dragged in spots. Maul is an investigator, Lexi is undercover, trying to find her sister who was sold into slavery. This main plot was the best part of the book, IMHO. I received this as an ARC and have voluntarily offered this review.

I received an Advanced Reader Copy of this book for an honest review....This is my first book from these authors and I have to say that I loved them. This book was amazing from beginning to end and I couldn't put it down. From the beginning the story line hooked you and it flows where you understand everything going on. The characters were well written, all unique in their own way. The main characters were hot, hot, hot together. I will definitely follow these authors and series.

I voluntarily read this advanced readers copy of this book. Strong characters and a great story line. I just couldn't put it down once I started reading it. I so can't wait to read the next installment of this series either. I loved reading how Maul has waited for his bonded one. He just has to convince Lexi that she is his. Lexi's sister is missing and she is in search for her when she meet Maul. There are lots of twist and turns that you will love.

I just loved this book. Even all the different alien races weren't confusing to me. No idea why, maybe I'm becoming accustomed to this genre after all, but it was way less confusing as in other sci-fi books. The story has enough surprising moments and lots of suspense. Their lovemaking was described in a way that gives you just enough info to get your head going, but nothing crass or smutty. Can't wait to read the next book in this series.

Ok let me start by saying I never read this type of book, never got into the alien genre, but I do love Sean Moriarty's books and Sara Page's paranormal books are the best, so I took a chance. Oh my gosh, I'm so glad I did!! This was an amazing book...exciting and sexy...couldn't put it down!! I might have to rethink reading about alien worlds if this book is an example!! Great book...highly recommend!

I really liked this slightly different take on human abduction by alien story line. I enjoyed the flow of the story and of course the sex scenes were super hot. I also liked the idea of the bonded mate idea, which of course, is very prevalent among the shifter stories, but not to the extent of this book. This was also a nice action packed sci-fi thriller during the characters' travels to get home. This is a voluntary review of an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

I voluntarily read this advanced readers copy of this book. Strong characters and a great story line. I just couldn't put it down once I started reading it.

I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I absolutely loved this book! It flows with a quick pace and is well-written. As with all futuristic, sci-fi, erotic, romance novels I enjoy them more when they are "believable" even with the alien worlds and species and this author does a fantastic job with the telling of this story. Even if you think you aren't a fan of this genre, read this book--it will change your mind.

There are tons of Sci Fi Romance stories involving alien kidnappings of (always beautiful) woman. Much of them are pure garbage. This book? A pure delight. The Sci Fi elements actually work, the characters are believable and have real motivations, and the plot with it's adventure and, yes, darn sexy romance, works beautifully. It's rare for me to rank a SFR novel more than four stars. This one easily deserved five.

Highly recommended.

A great new series! Lexi wants to find her missing sister who has been abducted. She is prepared to go undercover to do this. What she finds instead is Maul. I love the connection between Lexi and Maul. The story was fast paced and packed full of adventure, suspense, surprises and romance. I can't wait to read Isla's story!! I voluntarily read an advanced copy of this book.

I absolutely loved this book. Once I started reading I couldn't put it down. It was full of intrigue, action, aliens, humor and romance. I loved the snarky comments from Marketh. Maul and Lexi were quite the couple. I'm looking forward to the next book because I'm definitely going to be reading it.

This is perhaps one of the quirkiest scifi romances I've read to date. I enjoyed the plot a lot! I thought there were good twists and a great set up for the world. I also loved getting to know the characters. There are a few good twists in here that will turn you completely upside down in a good way!

I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily reviewing.

Loved this alien romance! The authors did a great job building the suspense in this story, plenty of sexual tension, and I especially liked the characters. Enough depth to the alien world to make it interesting, but what really kept me riveting was the story between Maul and Lexi. Can’t wait for the next book so hurry it up please!

Read because of a recommendation from book romance group. At first, I wasn't sure what the fuzz was all about. Story seemed like those formulaic plot alien romance stories. I'm glad I didn't quit reading. It is a typical alien plot but has its own unique flair that keeps you interested. I love Maul's side kick, Marketh, added plenty of humor to the story.

**I voluntarily received an Advance Reader Copy of this book.**

Oh my stars, I enjoyed this story. What starts out as a rescue mission, turns into a steamy romance. With the constant combatant aliens all trying to obtain the forbidden human, the suspense and drama is constant. This story grabs your interest and holds it. A real page turner.

A different take on sifi romance. The story is fast paced and keeps you engaged. Parts are quite funny and I found myself laughing out loud. I look forward to more of the story to come.

I was lucky enough to be given an ARC of this story for my honest opinion. I signed up with the author after this book so I can continue to read this story.

This book would have been better if about half of it were eliminated. The story has great possibilities, but the extra bits of story that are included make it hard to follow and too far out, even for a paranormal/fantasy book.

I received an advance reader copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Wonderful story with a great couple who really needed each other. Loved the connection between them and how well they worked together. The world building was awesome and I loved all the different aliens. I would recommend this book. Looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

This was an interesting read. I look forward to the next book. While a bit dark at the beginning, I enjoyed learning about this world/universe and the people inhabiting it. I can see so many potential storylines that i look forward to seeing what the authors do with this universe.
