Captive of the Horde King by Zoey Draven

4.0

I’m actually really surprised I liked this so much. This book kind of felt like Khal Drogo fanfiction (and just to be clear, I really hated Khal Drogo). The MMC is a barbarian alien warlord and he steals the FMC away from her village to make her his wife. This book would have all the tropes you would expect; a feisty heroine who tended to make incredibly dumb decisions. a growly alphahole hero, some dubcon scenes, and a whole lot of hot sex. But I actually really liked this? I enjoyed the way Luna, the heroine, came to grow into the alien culture and learn how to be queen. I also did end up really enjoying her and the hero’s connection. And you seriously can’t forget about the hot sex, because there was a lot of it—not that I’m complaining. Was this amazing? No, but I had a fun time, and I’m definitely going to continue this series.
