CARGO: Akar Chronicles Book One Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 379 ratings

Lust at first sight Phoenix spots the tall, dark and dangerously sexy man in line behind him at the club immediately. He thinks he's found a dance partner for the night, but the stranger has other plans. Jax has worked his entire life to become the best sourcer on Akar, maybe even in all of Zila Galaxy. He specializes in finding things, and if the money is right, he and his loyal crew are there. Except, this mission has sent them farther than they've gone before, to Earth. Grows into an unbreakable bond It's not personal, Phoenix just happened to be what Jax's client requested. He’s not a person, he’s cargo. Except, the moment Jax gets Phoenix on his ship, he can't help but care for and protect the Earthling. It wouldn't be so bad if the client who requested Phoenix—as well as the other specimens with his unique genetic mutation—didn't happen to be the Akarian Federation. The AkarFed rules its people with an iron fist and they couldn’t care less about Jax’s burgeoning feelings. Phoenix may be in space, with no hope of returning to his home, but he is nobody’s victim. All he needs to do is ignore the alien captain long enough to figure out a way home. But, with each passing moment—and mile—that gets harder to do. As their connection grows, Jax discovers they are more than just cargo and captain, they are fated mates, now he just needs to figure out how to keep them together.

    Well this was quite unique and very interesting. I enjoyed watching the emotional changes and growth between Phoenix and Jax (mates or perfect pair). I didn't really like the whole Akar federation concept (or a planet of slaves that should be rescued) but other than that, the romance was sweet and sexy. The characters were very likable and I'm curious to see where or how this journey goes. Fascinating.

    Kiki Burrelli is an auto-buy for me, so when I read she was starting a science fiction series, I was truly excited! You see, having read her other series, and experiencing her talent at creating a different paranormal universe from the one we all inhabit, I trusted she could do the same incredible job with a sci-fi one. And she did! Over in the Zila Galaxy, there are wonders and dangers galore. And she even works in Mpreg in a way that comes as a surprise to the two men involved but brings the same great joy we've seen before. This book does have an HEA ending as to the romances possibility but it also sets up some of the possible future stories we'll be seeing. At this one's end, the crew is about to go off on a new adventure that could be life-threatening as well as terribly fulfilling. Can't wait until the next book to see what happens next!

    I don’t care what she writes, I’m going to read it! Kiki Burrelli has a wonderful way of telling a story that draws me in, every time. Her characters are always fully fleshed out, the story line is unique and the HEA has to be worked at. A great new series I’m looking forward to reading.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great start to the series

    This was an interesting start to the series. I loved getting to know Phoenix, Jax and the crew, and seeing their storyline unfold. The worldbuilding was well done - I particularly liked that we got the history of the Akarian people. The storyline played out well, and the book ended on a good note, setting up for what promises to be a great series. I look forward to reading more, and would say this is one of my favourite reads from this author to date (along with the Kif Warriors series).

    Proper fun alien abduction space romp. There are dangerous planets, crazy aliens with tentacles, loving Aliens, spaceships, wormholes and more. Unlike some space set MM romance, kikki takes full advantage of the setting to get creative and have fun. Always loads of ideas and sweet loving.
