Subject Name: Braita Valorn
Race: Human
Sex: Female
Age: 18
Designation: Slave
Temperament: Hostile

Darn right I’m hostile. Being thrown into a barbaric world and forced into slavery will do that to a gal. The Plumas of the West may have stolen my freedom, but will never rob me of the will to fight. Plus, I have a secret that could change everything. My men are looking for me, and they will stop at nothing to get me back. A war is brewing with me as the catalyst, one made far more deadly by my irresistible attraction to two Pluma leaders of the East. Above all else, I’m a fighter.

I will claim my freedom if I have to use every weapon at my disposal...including my men.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read in an interesting universe.
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2017

Scarlett did a wonderful job with the world building for this novel. There are humans but they don't live on earth having to flee and two other interesting alien races with unique traits. The morals on this new planet have altered and physical contact is no longer encouraged. Without spoiling the plot too much, Braita is chosen to leave the human planet along with her best friend and go to one of the alien worlds. From there it is constant twists and turns but still easy to follow. Braita is young, impulsive, stubborn and values her freedom above all else. As people said, she makes some choices that may not always be the smartest, but seem in character for being dropped on an alien planet when 19 in a society that is totally different then the life you were used to living. I enjoyed reading about her and the vast majority of the secondary characters with exception of the Plumas of the West. They weren't badly written, just not as interesting. I felt that Braita story line reached a satisfying conclusion for this novel though there were hooks left for other novels either with other characters mentioned (and indeed one was addressed in Moon Marked) or with these same characters. There is some sexually explicit material involving one female and two males (as could be guessed from the cover).

4.0 out of 5 stars Survival and Freedom
Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2017

Cold Mark is an enjoyable read with vivid imagery that allowed me to get lost in the story. It offers action, drama, and romance with a bit of humor and intrigue sprinkled throughout. Jax and Braita are best friends, and along with many others are shipped to a new planet- Triaz. Once there their goals become survival and freedom. Decisions about who to trust and the best course of action to take must be made. I not only adored the friendship between Jax and Braita, I also appreciated the other relationships they established in this book. Additionally, the adventures they have while dealing with humans, mians, and kiregs are entertaining. Overall, good read.

5.0 out of 5 stars ColdMark vs Forever Evermore?
Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2019
Verified Purchase
My first introduction to Ms. Dawn's writing was a short story found in an Anthology: Taming the Alpha (Valan Playboys) listed under Mandy M. Roth. Soon after I was grabbing everything I could get my hands on, following up with the Forever Evermore Series, and then the ColdMark series.

Okay, so with that said, I have to say, it is a toss up as to which of the above Scarlett Dawn series I love the most and the winner would be the ColdMark series.

Why you might ask?

Well, after listing pros (mostly) vs cons (rarely) it's because to my recollection this is the most enjoyable Sci-fi series I first had the pleasure of reading back in 2015. Now I'm stressing this because, back at that time, I was more into fantasy/PNR as my genre of choice and it was most definitely a different and refreshing story about aliens and humans set in the future without being heavy handed on the techno jargon. I find most Sci-fi books overwhelming when it comes to this.

Another point is that when looking for a break from fantasy, even now, I always reach for this series for an intermittent re-read for which I have lost count of.

So pick up the ColdMark series and check it out.

3.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable, but could have been more
Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2016
Verified Purchase
I found this book to be entertaining reading, however not enough to induce me to purchase Book #2. I would have liked to see a continuance of Briata's story, since I have questions regarding certain occurrences in the story which were not explained. Book 2 is about a fellow female human from Joyal who is sent to the third inhabited planet in the system, different than the one where Briata is sent. Perhaps my questions on Briata's story may be answered somewhere in Book #2, but, upon reading the description for "Mark" #2, all that came to mind were more impending questions. An additional deterrent to pursuing Book #2 are two instances where characters are temporarily, and obviously unintentional to the story, switched. One instance has a character naming himself in a narrative to another describing what he did as if he was not the person who did it. So brownie points are lost for those instances. It still is an enjoyable read, and I did sign up for Ms. Dawn's newsletter for future writings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sci fi Must Read!
Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2016

I am so totally impressed! Other than being an avid PNR lover, I totally enjoy wrapping my brain around an engaging sci fi story and once again this writer did not disappoint! These characters are so well created they are believable and then you just can't help but want to find out their story! This story moves along great and you just can't help rooting for Brata. I wonder if it's in some sci fi writers rule book somewhere that says character names have to sound otherworldly! It is a challenge just wondering if I am mentally pronouncing their names right ! Moving on to Moon Mark now lol!

4.0 out of 5 stars The worlds will capture you. Unfortunately, the lead female will leave you wanting. :/
Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2016

I enjoyed this book immensely. And it is definitely a book, not a quick read. The world building is intriguing and detailed. But, I will have to agree with several other reviews that the Braita was not very likeable, and her flip flopping was incredibly irritating. If it hadn't been quit so drawn out, making the book shorter I think more favorable reviews would have ensued. She seemed to connect with every male in her life on Triaz accept her Vaq, which seemed a bit unrealistic and immature.

I will start Moon Cold though, interested in finding out more about these worlds. Hopefully Madeline is stronger in her ideals than Braita.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bad choices sometimes have good outcomes
Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2017

I wasn't sure what to expect from this author (new to me). What I found was a well conceived tale of an innocent (but well-trained) young woman who is sent to another planet as a slave. Her friend and training partner was sent to the same planet. Learning about the planet and its inhabitants is fascinating. Finding out her role and how she deals with each new challenge is exciting. Well done, with plenty of twists and turns in the plot to keep me on the edge of my seat. I'll definitely read more in this series!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another book hangover but worth it! I couldn't put it down!!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 5, 2016

A review in exchange for a ARC:

I've read all Scarlett Dawn's books and there was no doubt I was going to love this book just as much as the others! From the first page I got stuck in and did not stop reading. I have a book hangover now. 😝

This book is a futuristic science fiction romance based on a girl named Braita who is living on a small planet named Joyal in the Solar System of Kline. Humans did three hundred years ago before the present time in this book habitat Earth but after greed, pollution and destruction, Earth was no longer habitable for humans, so they took to the stars searching for planets to survive.

After a tsunami attacks her village, 600 people are sent to the two other habitable planets for humans. 300 people including Braita are sent to the planet Triaz where the aliens Mian are living.

And this is where the book really hooks you in, I won't spoil any more but this includes hot alpha males, a strong heroine and so much action.

This book is another magical world that Scarlett has brought us to. And another set of characters to love.

I recommended if you love paranormal romance or science fiction and new adult you read this, or if you've already read other books from her you'll love this one!

Also don't forget to read the 2nd book in The Mark Series called Moon Mark based on Madeline and her journey to the 2nd planet Egyac !

2.0 out of 5 stars Mittelprächtig wäre hier noch ein Kompliment
Reviewed in Germany on July 20, 2015
Verified Purchase
Eine unlogisch zusammengeklopfte, lieblos ausgearbeitete Geschichte mit immer neuen Handlungssträngen, leider alle ein bisschen flach und doof. Die sprachliche und inhaltiche Qualität passen zu den schrundigen Sexfantasy-Fantasy-Sex-Romanen aus der virtuellen Grabbelkiste, damit würde es dann unterm Strich auch wieder passen, tatsächlich aber gibt es nur eine einzige nennenswerte Sexszene und die ist eher öde. Hauptdarstellerin Braita ist eine Nervensäge, nichts an ihr rechtfertigt das Interesse der "Herrscher" des fremden Planeten, auf den sie im Rahmen der arg dünnen Handlung als "Sklavin" verschleppt wird, um fortan den dominanten Pausenclown mit bewundernden Anbetern zu geben - anderthalb Sterne wären meine Wertung, weil aus der schlecht ausgearbeiteten Grundidee auch mehr hätte werden können: Mit weniger Kriegern, Planeten und unlogischen Genmanipulationen nämlich, mit weniger Sprüngen in der Handlung und besser ausgearbeiteten Charakteren - oder mit einer konsequenten Entscheidung für Sex-Trash. Aber nicht so. Schade um die Zeit.

I thoroughly enjoyed the twists and turns of the story and the created worlds There are times through the story when the Pluma pairs are great but Braita is not . She is not good at working out the possibilities of her actions and can be selfish in a way she blames others. Against that the situation is unique and it really opens up by the end. I am looking forward to the next in the series already available.Off to buy
