Repossessed...
Kendall Haven's life turns upside down when she's taken from her fueling dock home by thugs. Her gambler father used her to cover his losses. Treated like cargo, she's sold to the highest bidder--an alien bride procurement agency.
Landing on a primitive planet on the far edge of the universe, she has no intention of fulfilling her father's contract--even if that contract includes marriage to a very handsome, very sexy, very intense barbarian of a man. He might be everything a woman fantasizes about, but he wants more of her heart than she can give.
Possession...
Dragon-shifter nobleman Lord Alek has not been lucky in finding his life mate. Resigned to a lonely life, he attends the bridal ceremony out of familial duty. Then the impossible happens--Kendall. Nothing goes according to tradition, but he can't let that dissuade him. She is this dragon noble's only chance at happiness and he's not going to let her get away.
Book Six of the Dragon Lords series:This is the original Dragon Lords series by NY Times and USA TODAY Bestselling Author, Michelle M. Pillow.

I can’t wait to read more of this wonderful world.The stubborn Lord
5By DebO1122This is the sixth book in the dragon lord series and Kendall and Alexs story. It was a well written with a wonderful plot in the Qurilixen World that grab me from the beginning and kept me reading for the entire story. There’s action drama danger twists and turns kidnappings intrigue romance and love. The characters had a good chemistry in their interactions keep me interested. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.Not my favorite of the series
3By AngeljoeiI loved the first and last few chapters. But the majority of the book feels recycled. Some lines I’m almost positive were word for word from the previous book. The way she gets to the crew ship was the most unique of all the ones I have read. And once space talk becomes a factor this story has its own feel. I don’t mind books with the same time line (this is book 6 of this time line) but I feel like there should be an more if an effort to make it feel like it’s own book. Had I read this as a stand alone it would have been fine but the middle is to much like the one before it for me. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.I love the cousins
5By Poet817I loved the story of Kendall and Alek. Both have loss and the issues regarding that, but they also decide to talk to each other to help settle the marriage they have begun.Hot space romance!
5By DD1126I love this author’s world building! Kendalls story of being used to pay off her father’s gambling debt is so dystopian. Adding that Alek and the population of Qurillixia have no idea that some brides are not willing adds some intrigue. When they meet, Alek will do everything to keep her, even leave the planet. Such a great story! Can’t wait til the next! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.The alpha shifter stole my heart
5By ContessajjFrom the very beginning I felt Alek’s pain and longing. He has a strong belief in his gods and thinks he is being punished. Kendall woke up on the Galaxy Brides ship heading to Qurilixen, not knowing how she got there. Alek and Kendall’s meet cute is not cute, but with her growing up on the fueling station she reacts better than most. Having read many of the previous books I feel like I’ve been to Qurilixen. Even if this was your first book though the descriptions of the planet, the castles, and the animals is rich and colorful making you feel like you can see it. This story is sometimes sad but this culture clash is also funny and heartwarming, and in the end you can’t help smiling. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.Great read
5By Adrian7619I really enjoy this book. I love how Alex was protective of Kindle. I like the irony of him giving up on love and his phone in his mouth on the native night of the celebration but in the words instead of the procession. I like that he was a strong warrior but also that had doubts about himself. This made him more real to me The fact the Kendall wouldn’t give up on her father even though he lost her in a bet shows the love between parents and their children. I like how she refused to give up on finding her sister even though it will be difficult.
