great

Any additional comments?

This audiobook was given to me for a honest unbiased review. This sci-fi romance was great. Loved how the Aliens had to learn Earth's culture. This is a different take on other sci-fi romances where the human woman has to go to a different planet and learn different culture. This difference makes this book stand out. It is good that not all of the book was sex, there are sex scenes, but this is not a full out erotica porn situation, but a romance!! Smut has its place, but for those who want a little more romance than sex, this is perfect for you.

I enjoyed listening to this story,

If you could sum up Benzen in three words, what would they be?

tall blue alien

Who was your favorite character and why?

I liked Benzen with his out of the box thinking.

What about Sierra Kline’s performance did you like?

Sierra's performance gives all of the characters their own personality.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I thought that them trying different earth foods really funny. funny yellow hands? sounds like bananas to me.

Good start to a series. Entertaining, fun and enjoyable short story. It's a good story for those days when you want something a little different. The Warriors from Orba are refugees from outer space looking for a safe place to live.

Romance, a bit of action, humor, aliens, mental abilities, strange new world, and a HEA.

While the story was entertaining, engaging and interesting enough to keep my attention it would have been nice to have a little of their backstory before they landed on earth. As well as a bit more of the relationship between Allison and Benzen. But then again, there is only so much you can fit into a shorter story.

It started out with a bit of action then slowed down for a while to focus on the warriors acclimating to their new surroundings then picked up again with more action.

The "innocence" of the Orba warriors in their new surroundings was humorous to hear. Having to learn the "human" ways of life and trying to adopt to their surroundings gave the story a lighter tone in between the action.

It is the first in the series so not all the lingering questions are answered in this book. I am actually looking forward to the next book in the series. It synopsis sounds really good.

Sierra Kline did a good job with the narration. Pleasant voice. Easy to listen to for long periods of time. Good character voices even her male voices are good. Clearly spoken with a nice pace. She was able to make the characters come to life. Very enjoyable.

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator or publisher.

Not Convinced

This story received mixed reviews so I was hesitant about ordering the book. I liked the concept of the story and I also appreciate romance that include non-alpha type males as a nice change, so I gave it a try. But in the end, I couldn’t get into the story, I couldn’t be convinced. Part of it was due to some of the incongruities. For example in one scene there was a description of the texture of the ground under their feet and then the next scene there was talk of their squeaky shoes. I’m not a reader that demands minute details but this story seem to be lacking some. I don’t plan on pursuing the series. I’ve listen to some of Ms. Kline’s performances elsewhere and have always appreciated them.

Loving Benzen

The first book in what promises to be an awesome series. I am really loving alien romance. Entertaining, excellent story telling, steamy, action, adventure and well written. Loved Sierra’s narrating.

Wow! Most mismatched cover and description ever

I don't normally go out of my way to post a poor review, but what is this? Warriors? Seriously? More like a bunch of terrified teenagers. Thin and scrawny and tiny, as described in the book. The majority of the book is that way. Then, almost as if the author remembers some formula she is supposed to follow, she throws in a few sex scenes. Does not matter that they are completely out of tune with the rest of the book. Ugh! I wasted money on this book. Worse, I wasted time!

Kind Alien Falls in Love

Benzen and his crew have escaped from the evil dictator Palzu and crash landed on earth. Once there, they quickly meet kind Allison who takes them in and gets them on their feet. The others in the crew soon move on because they are almost discovered and leave Benzen with Allison to watch over her as she could be a target after assisting them. Benzen is in love with Allison but afraid to tell her for a long time. Then things kick into gear fast and there are multiple sex scenes with fairly graphic details. I wasn't expecting that...

The story has a good premise, I'm just not sure the author totally maximized the potential. I did like the beginning when the aliens were first seeing things on earth. I also liked that the relationship between Allison and Benzen didn't just happen in the blink of an eye. They got to know each other first. I would have liked to hear more backstory both for the Orba's and for Allison. And I would have like for Benzen to have been more of a 'warrior'. In the end, it was just okay for me.

Sierra Kline is a really good narrator. I enjoyed her narration and her voices. She can have a very good innocent voice or a nice throaty, sexy voice and her male characters are as good as her female voices. I did listen on 1.5 and it seemed a nice speed for my ears.

I received this audiobook for free through Audiobook Boom! in exchange for an honest review.

dont waste your money

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

a better story, this is ridiculous. Maybe I listen to excellent authors and this one is far far from that.

What could Zara Zenia have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

given it a good story, it is dumb and boring.

Would you be willing to try another one of Sierra Kline’s performances?

HELL NO

What character would you cut from Benzen?

All of them..ha

Good book!

Would you consider the audio edition of Benzen to be better than the print version?

I haven't read the print version yet. I might isn't the future.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Benzen was my favorite character. He seemed both strong and vulnerable.

What does Sierra Kline bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The characters were more vivid and exciting.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

There were parts that I didn't want to stop in the middle of. I wanted to know what happened next.
