Captive of the Horde King Horde Kings of Dakkar Book 1 edition by Zoey Draven Romance eBooks Reviews

• In horror, Luna saw smoke from a burning field, and dread spread through the village as everyone rushed to form a line to dump water on it before the Dakkari brought their wrath down on the people. Mistakes were not permitted, and mercy was not given. At the end of the line of buckets, she saw the look on her brother’s face and knew who had caused this. The Dakkari would be coming and would demand retribution – someone would die!
  
  They came that night, 7 huge Dakkari. Luna put on a cloak and went to the middle of the street to meet up with them and explain, fully prepared to give her own life in exchange for her brother’s if that was required. Their leader was one of six horde kings who kept order and dealt out punishments. Harming the land was an insult to their deities. Luna stepped in front of her brother who had run to her and, looking into the horde king’s eyes, she told him he did not have the right to take her brother’s life – she would not let him. Instead, she asked him to take her life, as she was responsible for her brother. What the horde king wanted was that she be his concubine, warm his bed, serve him; to save Kivan, she had to agree.
  
  When they arrived at camp, a bath was prepared for Luna. When the horde king entered the tent, the women who had bathed her left and he told Luna she was to bathe him. She was terrified, but he told her to relax, that he would not take her until she healed from the abrasive ride to camp on the beast. Nervous, she asked if the Dakkari often took human whores rather than their own women. He told her she was not his whore – she was his Queen! What kind of life did this mean for her? What was she expected to do?
  
  I love this author’s books, and this one was no exception! The horde king is easy to like and respect. He treated Luna very well. She was a bit hard-headed, but that’s understandable under the circumstances and not knowing what to expect. The story line took our characters along a path of growth and understanding. The reader may be in for some surprises along the way. Grab your copy and enjoy the alien experience!
• I normally like to read the books from this writer. However, I couldn't get into this book. My issue is the same as another readers. The female agrees to obey the horse king then promptly starts disobeying and fighting him. For me it would have been better if he had kidnapped her or if she had never agrees to obey.
• Don't get me wrong. I'm liking this book. But 85% of it, is very reminiscent of K. Ashley's The Golden Dynasty. Even down to the character of "Colors" used etc.. to describe/or represent certain things. The language, the culture, the people, the events that occur here as well; have the Golden Dynasty stamp on it. if just a little bit more tame in certain circumstances.
  
  This story doesn't have the feel of an Alien sci-fi story to me at all. If you liked GD you will like this as well, but also feel as if you read it before....
  
  With that being said, I loved how many things played out here. I absolutely love our H/h, and the simple yet complicated dance they did with learning one another. It's still a beautiful story. And the way this one introduces another Horde King, I am intrigued with what book 2 will have to offer.
  
  I would recommend this read.
• I have read other books written by ZOEY DRAVEN. . This MIGHT be my NEW FAV. I see this story being more about the love of family, community and the lengths you would go to in order to protect the ones you love. You have LUNA who truly loved her mother and her younger brother. She sacrificed her hopes and dreams in order to save her brother. Yet by unselfishly giving up her life, LUNA truly finds her REAL LIFE.
  
  LUNA'S stubborn and persistent ways proves to be her strength and it is what makes her stand out in the eyes of the WARRIOR HORDE KING. I love the wisdom of this FIERCE, INTENSE & FORCEFUL (scary/sexy) WARRIOR.
  
  ZOEY builds this strange planet, DAKKAR where of course humans are again lowest on the food chain, destroying the planet and believing folklore about other beings. Sometimes what you think you KNOW, isn't the REAL story. I like the way the author uncovers little gems in the story in order to show the OTHER side.
  
  Maybe similar stories have been told, BUT I LOVED THIS STORY . . . IT WAS REALLY GOOD !!!
• I enjoyed seeing the main female character, Luna (a human), learn how to live in a different culture with the original people of the planet, the Dakkari.
  
  The romance was believable and the sex scenes were hot.
