About this audiobook
“To be ruled by a woman is to be ruled by weakness and kingdoms are only as strong as their rulers. A King must stand alone, beholden to none.”—King Attor of the Var
Oh, how the mighty will fall.
Cat-shifting King Kirill knows he must do his royal duty by his people. When his father unexpectedly dies, it’s his destiny to take the throne and all of the responsibility that entails. What he hadn’t prepared for is the troublesome female prisoner he inherited.
Undercover Agent Ulyssa is no man’s captive. Trapped in a primitive alien forest awaiting pickup, she’s going to make the best out of a bad situation… which doesn’t include falling for the seductions of an alpha male king.

What our readers think
Readers find this title to have a mix of opinions. Some enjoy the great story line, well-developed plot, and enjoyable narration. Others find the writing simple but satisfactory, with frustrating lack of communication between characters. There is also frustration with the anti-abortion stance of the author. Overall, readers are excited about the Var series and prefer it over the dragon series.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Absolutely love the Var ppl now, I think I might like them more then the dragons...
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very nice and enjoyable. One of the better narration and plot is well developed and the pacing moves the story along.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved it! Great story line and characters. Excited about listening to the next book right now!!! ❤️❤️❤️
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I have mixed opinions on this. The writing is simple but satisfactory, more of a NA level. The audiobook is great, Michael Ferraiuolo does a great job bringing it to life.
I'm noticing dub-con is a go-to for Pillow. But the characters complete lack of communication is frustrating and makes them seem much more childish than they should be given their age and profession. And their both impulsive. The final scene was rushed, their actions not thought out, I find it hard to believe that either character would behave impulsively and not discuss things like how they will treat each other going forward, what are the definitions of the words they use for each other, and what they plan to do about their strikingly different life expectancy.
I'm also frustrated at the anti-abortion stance of the author. It's one thing to not want abortions for yourself, it's another thing to entirely not understand what a pro-choice stance is, and yet try to write about it. Huge TW on abortion and a complete lack of bodily autonomy.
The book has some balance issues. Large sections feel like all smut, then other sections feel like plot. It's not integrated. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/56th time is charm... Good story. Action/adventure. I've read this book a few times, because I could never get past the first paragraph (or chapter) because of the narrator. It took me 6 attempts to get past the female character sounding like a gay man imitating a gay man. The other odd thing was that the other characters voices changed occasionally. Otherwise good reader. I actually prefer the Var series over the dragon's. Meow
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I much prefer the Var Princes! I'm loving this series!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I liked this undercover working girl getting involved with the “native” she is supposed to be watching. Looks of pining is for each other and perceptions misunderstandings. Great in the sex department though.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This was an ok read. I just felt that it lacked some fire in the relationship, and with her work dedication etc.
