Each book in the Zarronian Warrior series can be read as a standalone novel but the reader may enjoy them more if the books are read in the order they were written.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Soren's story
    Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2015

    I strongly suggest you read the series so you will get a full understanding of why Soren is in the condition he is in at the beginning of this book. In his world he is a level 6 warrior and it would take a rare type of woman who could mate with him and save him. Without that woman he will surely die, which is the fate he has accepted.
    Taking on dangerous missions in hopes that he can die before the fever kills him, he crashes into a place that is frozen and appears isolated. Skye, who is also in need of a mate to live, has been placed in that location for her own protection so when she comes across the wounded Soren, she knew she needed to use her healing powers to save him.
    What neither of them could have expected was they were perfect for each other and would not only save each other’s lives, they would share their powers. Unfortunately, Skye didn’t go through the proper rules to mate with Soren which will later come back and haunt them. I wish I could go on and on about what they experience but you need to read it for yourself so you can feel the emotions that come with their journey. Grab some tissues, get a stiff drink and be prepared to sit on the edge of your seat.
    As they take on the mission of battling the enemy that wants to control Skye’s planet, Soren will need to learn about the culture and how to manage his new powers that he shares with Skye. Their journey will be full of danger, risky missions, adventure, happiness, betrayal and love. I felt the story was well balanced and engaging new characters that will play an important role to the plot.
    We also get to reconnect with the characters we have grown to love such as Thorn and Valan along with the other warriors. You will witness the combination of two teams of galaxy warriors having to train each other and learn to compromise powers all for the common good of the people and family.
    I love this series but I loved Soren’s story the most. Mardi took a slightly different writing style with this book due to the new adventure Soren was going on. This story isn’t a duplicate of the first two, it is fresh and full of drama and suspense and I highly recommend it.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good Book . . .
    Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2015

    This is the first Mardi Maxwell book I've read and I have to say, I really liked it. The world-building is more in-depth than your average sci-fi romance, which also meant the story was a full length novel so I felt like I got my money's worth. I liked the characters and the storyline too. Not only do you get to know the hero and heroine, the author also delivers fleshed out supporting characters as well, which makes the story more robust and leaves plenty of interesting questions to be addressed in the next book. I also thought their ability to manipulate and conjure light and dark Krystal shards was a unique aspect to the author's world-building.

    Even though they're both warriors, the relationship between Soren and Skye is kind of sweet. They of course have their conflicts, and he tries to coddle her too much in the beginning, but overall, their relationship is one of deep care. I appreciated that there were a couple of scenes where they're just taking care of one another after a hard day that don't necessarily lead to sex, which I felt brought another layer of complexity to how their relationship developed over time. The sex scenes were steamy, but I didn't find them to be super smokin' hot. Honestly though, the story is good enough that even if there were absolutely no sex scenes, the story would still be a good read.

    I read another review that said the dialogue was choppy and not well developed, but I felt like it was fine. I mean, it's not prose or anything complex, but it's what you'd find in most sci-fi books. I suppose the first chapter might seem to be a bit choppy, but I just attributed it to the fact that the story begins with Soren being held down by his friends as he battles his mate fever and then moves into him battling enemies after that, so everyone's mannerisms and speaking are quick and concise like you'd find amidst any average military operation. Granted, I have not read any other Mardi Maxwell books up to this point, so maybe her other books are written to a higher standard. But either way, I'd recommend downloading a sample of the book yourself so you can decide for yourself.

    As stated, I didn't read the other books in the series before reading this one, but I didn't feel l was particularly lost in the storyline (it helps that most of their world is explained in a historical explanation that comes before chapter 1). Overall, I would recommend this book.

    Zarroian Warriors book 3, Soren's Bondmate. Great story, loved it. Soren is dying from the mating fever. Wanting to die as a warrior, he ends up going through a wormhole and crash lands on a frozen world to be rescued by his mate, who was also dying from lack of a mate. Skye is a true warrior with incredible powers. Soren has some adjustments to make having a warrior mate. They to come to an understanding and start to build a life only to be torn apart. They never stop trying to get back to each other. Many new and intresting people are introdced. The story ends with a bit of a cliffhanger and a set up for the next book. Ronin thinks he has found his mat in Bellya. It's going to take a lot fo redeem Bellya, so looking forward to Ronin's story.

    For a futuristic romance it was okay. I have read the previous two installments from the author and have enjoyed them so I picked this up as well. I was a little disappointed with the middle of the book, not a lot of action, a lot of specifics but not a lot of true storytelling. If you could have cut the middle down by 1/2 it would have been a very good read. I found myself scanning instead of really reading the middle part of the book, the author almost lost me but then the ending wrapped the book up with some suspense and true storytelling to finish it off.

    I have read all of the Bondmate stories and all were awesome. I recommend that you read them in order to get the flow of the stories. However, Soren's Bondmate had me between laughing and tearing up throughout the book. This author really is a great story teller, this story gave me hope in love. Soren's story was very suspenseful with a twist of dark that kept me glued to the book until I finished it. If you looking for a great read with hot love scenes and a couple your fighting for to over come their life troubles, this is it!

    Reviewed in Australia on December 1, 2015

    I gave the other books in this series five enthusiastic stars but 'Soren's Bondmate' did not engage me nearly as much. The second book 'Thorn's Bondmate' is one of my favourite books ever so it was disappointing not to find a similar evolution of the characters and their steamy relationships.

    Soren is at death's door from not finding his mate when he crashes on a remote ice planet. Skye, a sorceress with multi mega powers, rescues him. She is also close to death for the same reason. So she heals him, mates him and bonks him in under five minutes. As you do. Then he gets superpowers too.

    It was too fast for me and I ended up not believing in the romantic relationship. I think much of the author's attention was diverted into juggling the super powers instead of developing the sexual tension as she did so well in the previous books. The multitude of powers was too confusing for my tiny brain what with the throwing magic crystals and mind melding. But I did like the magic instant food, I mean who hasn't had that fantasy?

    In previous books the main female characters were strong but vulnerable and this made them really relatable. Skye and Soren are too perfect, for example they are ready to sacrifice their lives for each other straight after their first bonk. I just couldn't buy it.

    I was miffed with Skye sounding like a Stepford wife in her robotic compliance. For example when Soren says he will always lead, she responds 'when you put it that way we're equals but with different roles.' Also the book teeters between sexy and sexual harassment. Soren pats Skye's bottom to punctuate his superiority. It was a relief when he was chained and had to keep his hands to himself.

    It got better as the main characters experienced difficulties that made them more relatable. To those who loved the first two books I say read this book but lower your expectations.
