Switched... Book 17 in the Brides of the Kindred Series

I loved the 17th book in the Kindred series. Evangeline is a awesome sci-fi erotic author. I have read all her books and am always on the lookout for more! Please keep them coming!!

I received this for a honest review. Once again Evangeline has shown what an imagination she has. My mind actually went wild while reading this book. All I could think about is the first thing I would do if I was to wake up in a man’s body. I could quickly think of three things I would do and Frankie has done them all ready. Frankie is a good catholic girl. Though her family might not think so. They do not like the fact that she is divorced and work hard to get her back with her ex. Frankie since she was divorced now had to sign up for the Kindred Bride draft. Her family would die if she ended up with a Kindred. Frankie is already dreaming of a sexy Kindred man. What she did not realize is what her future held. I actually felt sorry for Commander Kerov Volx. He was a Kindred who lives on Tarsia Six. Their rules are so strict on this plant that he could easy find himself killed if not careful. His kind was know at one time to be able to switch bodies with their mates. This is forbidden on this planet along with other things that are in the Kindred DNA. Kerov was stuck with a mandatory sexual visit with his assigned female Xirnah. I hated Xirnah she was cold in more ways than one. A relationship between a man and woman should be something special. It was not on this planet. Kerov and Xirnah hated being with each other. I got a good laugh at when Kerov was in Frankie’s body. Him having to do yoga moves and going to get a wax. Yip he is finding it very challenging. Let’s hope he does not mess things up to badly for Frankie. Reading about what these two went through not only were they in a stranger’s body but on a strange planet they knew nothing about had to be truly hard and very challenging. This two need help. They can not seem to control the switching. I found it very interesting when they were in the same body at the same time. There seems to be some miss understanding going on between these two. Frankie can not help but look at Xirnah and see how she how beautiful and thin she was and think that is what Kerov prefers. Kerov keeps thinking of what Frankie’s best friend told him and thinks Frankie hates Kindred. These two get a chance to know what it is like to walk in the other ones shoes. this gives them a new appreciation of what that person goes through. I hop there is a revisit of these two in a later book. I bet the bound between these two will be amazing.

Switched Is Amazing! Book 17 Kindred Brides Series, March 25, 2016 By Robin Manor This review is from: Switched--Brides of the Kindred 17: (Alien Scifi BBW Romance) (Kindle Edition) Switched is book 17 in evangeline Anderson's phenomenal Brides of The Kindred series. This is one of my absolute favorite series and I would highly recommend reading the books in order as many of the storylines build upon each other, this particular book is set up that it could be read alone but why deprive yourself of the full world of the Kindred experience. Evangeline Anderson has once again proven her genius by creating yet another type of kindred on a whole different world. She continues to creatively weave the characters and storylines from the first 16 books into the new ones and to advance all their stories while concentrating on the books latest main characters. The worlds and characters, creatures, foods, etc. we experience with the Kindred are mesmerizing and fantastical right down to their main base of the mother ship. This is Frankie and Kerov's story. Despite the recent divorce Frankie has recently gone thru (to her families horror) Frankie considers herself to be a good catholic girl ).She's a beautiful curvy ( although she's not in love with what she feels is her ample booty) Latino woman trying desperately to move forward with her life, trying to finish university, get a real job rather than her present one at Victoria's Secret, and even become a yoga instructor to bring In extra money. Many Kindred couples meet at first through dream sharing, Frankie's first experiences go way beyond dream sharing all the way to mind and body sharing. Commander Kerov Voix lives on Tarsia Six. Years ago the Kindred shared DNA with the Tarsian people who now look down upon those who are not purebred and carry Kindred genes. The Kindred on Tarsia had a special ability to be able to Switch bodies with others (esp. Their mates) but fearing this the Tarsians have worked to theoretically genetically eliminate this trait over the generations. The Tarsians are a tough military society. The state pretty much runs everything from your career to who is to have mandatory sexually relations with whom. Emotional attachment including affection is highly discouraged and even punished in this world. Somehow Kerov has managed to rise to a very high position as a military officer and is about to be promoted once again. Being raised In this environment He has basically had to turn his back on his Kindred heritage (his parents are fully Kindred). Imagine his total shock when he discovers he is able to not only Switch but basically has little control when this happens. Even more shocking is Frankie falling asleep and finding she is actually inhabiting Kerov's mind and body this is no dream. On top of that Kerov is able to speak to her in her/his mind. She has no choice but to try and continue to be Kerov with his internal voice to guide her along. On the flip,side Kerov wakes to find himself in Frankie's body and there are times as well when she is able to mind speak with him as well. The predicaments this situation has them in goes from quite serious to some of the funniest scenes I've read in the series. I was actually giggling aloud a good deal throughout the book , (Kerov getting a Brazilian wax and going out on a date as Frankie had me rolling on the floor). As Kerov and Frankie experience each other's lives not only do they get to know each other on the most intimate of levels but find they are also developing a special chemistry, unexpected and even a fierce protectiveness towards one another. As always there are valuable lessons to be learned, ones of acceptance of who you are and pride of your own culture. Finding yourself by actually living thru another is a pretty unique way of learning to love yourself as well as opening up your mind and heart to another. The chemistry between the characters builds gradually and the authors immense talent of writing sensual and erotic romance is a special part of this book as well. Experiencing sexual feelings while inhabiting the body of the opposite sex takes a very skilled author. As the Kindred overall story continues there is much excitement, danger and suspense, (the evil Two is even more determined to destroy the Kindred), great interactions and involvement by characters from previous books and lots of sizzling sexy scenes. Book 17 in particular has a major amount of humor and fun that has you smiling the whole time. Once again you'll find yourself anxiously awaiting for Book 18 hoping that it won't be too long a wait.
