Worlds Away: Clean Sci-fi Alien Romance Kindle Edition

Can a human girl change the ways of an Alien race?

Paris had lost her parents at a young age and instead of going into the foster system, she ended up on the streets. Sure, life was tough for a 17-year-old girl with no one to turn to, but she made her way on the streets of Los Angeles for years. That is, until one day when she was no longer on the streets, or on Earth.

Commander Venay of the V’Zenian Empire was a man on a mission. It was his responsibility to ensure a good lot of human slaves made it back to his planet each year. But this time it was different, he saw her across a field and knew he had to have her, at all costs.

The choice was simple, Paris could be a slave on the V’Zenian homeworld, where most didn’t last more than fifteen to twenty years, or she could become his mate and provide him with the offspring his people so desperately needed!

The V’Zinians most venomous rival, the Zateelians, attacked Venay’s ship and forced them to crash land on a distant planet. Paris had a choice to make: save herself or help Venay exterminate aliens who have a sinister plan for the humans.

Slavery? Or mate to an Alien Commander? Which would you choose?

If you like a clean version of the popular alien romance books, then you will love the Worlds Away series. Be sure to grab your copies of all books today!

This is a very good series with characters you like and want good things to happen to and an enemy that is horrible and you want them squashed like the cockroach they look like.

5 Stars!Many new concepts for sci-fi addicts and if this is the first of JL's novels you've read, it is likely you'll pickup her trails quickly! Grady Harp, November 16 Amazon Top 100 Reviewer
5 Stars! Hawt! Alien Romance is one of my new favorite obsessions. :) This is no exception. A super awesome story that will keep you salivating for more. Easily read in one sitting, the author pulls you in from word go! - Amazon Reviewer
5 Stars! Could.Not.Put.It.Down.
I'm really looking forward to the next installment in this series. It's always a good sign when I'm left wondering about all the details of how a world operates in SFF, and this one left me eager to learn all about the V'Zenian homeworld. There are some serious ethical stumbling blocks in the relationship between the heroine and hero--he abducts humans from Earth as labor and breeding stock on his own planet--but it's not dealt with lightly, nor is it an issue the heroine ever ignores, regardless of how she feels about Venay. - C.M. Stone author of Familiar-The Witch Cycle Book 1

I liked this story; it was clean and interesting. Paris was a fighter and a survivor because she has had to be. She's smart too which helps a lot. I enjoyed watching her trying to survive her new situation. She's not one that typically would go quietly into the night to her fate so that resistance makes sense. And she doesn't crumble right away which I liked. She did try to help others, whether they were alien or human.

Venay was a character that you could see had a job to do but he also showed tenderness towards Paris as well. He has his hands full with Paris because even when he tries to protect her, she's a scrapper not afraid to get in the middle of things. They also have a major difference between them when it comes to the abducting humans to be slaves. Paris just figures there has to be a better way. And knowing her she will probably find it. That doesn't get resolved in this book but some better treatment is given to those captured after Paris intercedes for them.

This book has what I consider a Happy Ever After For Now, going on. If you wanted to you could stop right now and I think you would be satisfied. OR you could continue on with another book and keep the adventures going.

Alpha Alien Abduction Tale 1
Slavery, or mate to an Alien Commander? Which would you choose?

Paris had lost her parents at a young age and instead of going into the foster system, she ended up on the streets. Sure, life was tough for a 17-year-old girl with no one to turn to, but she made her way on the streets of Los Angeles for years. That is, until one day when she was no longer on the streets.

Commander Venay of the V’Zenian Empire was a man on a mission. It was his responsibility to ensure a good lot of human slaves made it back to his planet each year. But this time it was different, he saw her across a field and knew he had to have her, at all costs.

The choice was simple, Paris could be a slave on the V’Zenian home world, or she could become Venay's mate and provide him with the offspring his people so desperately needed! Until the V’Zenian's most venomous rival, the Zateelians, attacked Venay’s ship and forced them to crash land on a distant planet. Paris had a new choice to make: save herself or help Venay exterminate aliens who have a sinister plan for the humans.

Come and join J.L. Hendricks on her next voyage! Worlds Away is the first in a Sci-Fi Romantic/Adventure trilogy where aliens abduct women for more than just slavery, they abduct them to continue their own race! If you like Ruby Lionsdrake, then you will enjoy Worlds Away! This is a mostly clean romance with an HEA in each book. If it were a movie, it would be PG-13.
Total Score: 5/5

Summary:
What would you choose, life on the streets or an alien abduction. For the past five years Paris has lived by her cunning and strength alone, but at least she made her own choices. Now of the aliens had given her a choice she might have gone with them, but by kidnapping her they took her choices away and that didn't sit well with Paris. If that wasn't difficult enough to take in, she learned she was the mate of Commander Venay, the captain of the ship. She definitely felt a pull towards him, but his attitude towards the captives was less than desirable. Paris had two choices, to become his mate or to be sold as a slave. At least the women had a choice the men would be used only as slaves with no choices. Many people would only think of themselves, but not Paris. She was determined to change things for the better if it takes one alien at a time. Add to all this craziness an interstellar war and you have a fast paced and intricate story. I will be waiting to read Worlds Collide the next book in this series.

3.0 out of 5 stars Surprised
Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2016

This book had a good plot and the romance was surprisingly very clean. I am used to much more "smut" and I was pleasantly surprised to find there was none of that. Unfortunately, the editing left some to be desired and the characters weren't very distinctive. The dialogue was fairly monochromatic. To hear the dialogue with one's eyes closed I wouldn't have been able to tell which character was speaking. While I was glad to see the openness between the main characters, it struck me as somewhat unrealistic-at least with the ease it seemed to come. Most people don't open up that quickly, easily or so often, at least not without hesitation, embarrassment, misunderstandings, etc... And there seemed to be none of these. Just unrealistic, even for a SciFi or fantasy.
I received this book free from one of the book subscription emails.

PG version of an Alpha Alien Abduction Romance💕

Paris💋💔 was living in the street on 🌎Earth, when she was abducted, along with hundreds of others by huge alien V'Zenian Warriors🐺🍆🌋🔫🔪. Spending the next five months in a crowded cell with crappy synthetic food while on the way back to the alien planet🌍, is pretty depressing.
There are only two ways for the women to go, latch on to a warrior mate🐺🍆🌋🔫🔪 during the journey, or become a slave after arrival.
Luckily, the Warriors🐺🍆🌋🔫🔪 are eager for mates💋 because their race is dying out due to sickness and inbreeding, which has caused mass infertility among their women.
The ship Commander, Venay🐺🍆🌋🔫🔪, wants Paris💋💔, but she refuses him. He is half human and totally 🔥hot, plus the Commander!. What is this woman thinking?
She thinks she'll somehow be able to go home🏡.....

The book doesn't end in a cliffhanger, but continues with the story of another of the captured women in the next book.

Descriptions of the Warriors were lacking and vague, as well as the planet.

I enjoyed this book a lot. I liked that it's PG-13 and that it is focused on adventure rather than sex (although there's a lot of sexual tension and kissing). 💝 😉 The plot was interesting and the quirky characters well developed. I will definitely have to look at this author more closely.

One of the things that I wasn't too thrilled about is that along with most of these Alien Romances, they assume that humans and aliens are both sexually compatible and can reproduce effectively. This is one area that is quite grey in my humble opinion. The chances of this occurring are pretty astronomical. I guess that's what makes this a "fantasy/sci-fi". Because otherwise there would be no story. 😵 👽 😔

Interesting aliens, abducting humans for mates or for slaves. The commander finds his mate and she’s not fussy about his mission of abducting the humans. There’s nothing like another alien race who attacks them and crashes their ship

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 7, 2017

Paris became an orphan at a young age and ended up on the Los Angeles streets and not in the foster system. She was tough and doing well when one day she was spirited out of a field by aliens. Venay is a Commander in the V’Zenian Empire and his job is to abduct humans to become slaves or mates for the males of his species. When he saw Paris across the field he knew he just had to have her. So Paris has a complicated choice to make - become a slave or Venay's mate. Then a rival alien species causes their spaceship to crash on a planet and she has a new decision - think only of saving herself or work with Venay to save everyone from their spaceship by killing all the rival aliens who would treat the humans far worse.

What can I say - I LOVED this story. It had lots of emotions from both the humans and the V'Zenians who were not used to showing and expressing them. It was enjoyable to experience the slow realisation by Paris that they really were mates and she could fight it all the way but it was going to end the same way. The V'Zenians was quite enchanting the way they tried to see the humans as much more than slaves and could related and converse with them as colleagues and friends as they realised that the humans had skills that made them more useful than lowly slaves. Now I have to get the next book in the series so I can find out what happens next.

This story, along with the dialogue, was kind of clumsy - not like other blow-your-mind action adventure/sci-fi alien books with futuristic devices and cool terminology. The premise was interesting, but the moralizing got a bit much at times with Paris giving Venay a hard time - especially when slavery still exists on Earth in the form of sweat shops, servants, and minimum wage hired help. I also found it hard to believe that a Commander would take time out from a battle to carry on a conversation with his mate!
