Bondmates #3
Paige's Warriors
**Paige's Warriors is set in the Bondmates Universe and can be read as a stand alone, though for the most enjoyment the series should be read in order**
After a lifetime of war, Commander Trenzent has left behind the bloody battlefields of the Bel'Tan galaxy and traveled to Earth in the hopes of finding his bondmate. He can only pray that the one woman in the universe who can save his battered soul can look past his scarred exterior to the man within. Unfortunately for Tren, his potential bride is terrified of men thanks to years of abuse at the hands of her father and won't be easy to seduce.
Paige Grant is pretty sure she's losing her mind obsessing about a man who doesn't exist. Ever since the night a wormhole opened up next to Jupiter she's had these intense dreams about a terrifying, damaged man who awakens a passion inside of her she never knew existed. Despite his grim exterior, he makes her feel safe and cherished, something she desperately needs.
But Trenzent isn't the only Kadothian warrior who believes Paige is his bondmate. An old political enemy and one time lover of Tren's, Lord Rell Thantos, also believes the sweet and shy young Earth woman holds the missing part of his soul. He will do whatever it takes to win her heart, even if it means being bonded to the same woman with a man who hates him.
The men will have to find a way to get past their anger and work together to protect Paige against an unknown enemy who is determined to keep the women of Earth out of the Bel'Tan Galaxy forever.
Warning- This story is set in the Bel'Tan galaxy where polyamorous relationships are the norm and love in all of its forms is accepted including M/M, M/M/F, M/M/M/F, M/M/F+M/M sexual situations hot enough to melt your panties.

About the author
Ann Mayburn
95 books1,973 followersAnn is Queen of the Castle to her wonderful husband and three sons in the mountains of West Virginia. In her past lives she's been an Import Broker, a Communications Specialist, a US Navy Civilian Contractor, a Bartender/Waitress, and an actor at the Michigan Renaissance Festival. She also spent a summer touring with the Grateful Dead(though she will deny to her children that it ever happened).
From a young age she's been fascinated by myths and fairytales, and the romance that often was the center of the story. As Ann grew older and her hormones kicked in, she discovered trashy romance novels. Great at first, but she soon grew tired of the endless stories with a big wonderful emotional buildup to really short and crappy sex. Never a big fan of purple prose, throbbing spears of fleshy pleasure and wet honey pots make her giggle, she sought out books that gave the sex scenes in the story just as much detail and plot as everything else-without using cringe worthy euphemisms. This led her to the wonderful world of Erotic Romance, and she's never looked back.
Now Ann spends her days trying to tune out cartoons playing in the background to get into her 'sexy space' and has learned to type one handed while soothing a cranky baby.

Paige's Warriors is book two in the Bondmates series by Ann Mayburn. Even though it says book three it is actually the second full length novel in the series. It's an erotica romance set in an alternate world with seductive alien men and multiple partners. It’s a steamy romance and can be read as a stand-a-lone, but for the best enjoyment I recommend reading in order.
We meet Paige in Casey's Warriors. I have to say I've been wanting to read about Page since the moment she popped up. Her past was brutal. Abused and miss treated by her father, someone who is supposed to protect and love her, so to say she is a little damaged and affected by this doesn't even begging to describe her issues. Tren was also brutally damaged, but by war and the long years of not finding his bondmate.
The story-line is exciting, explicit, and sultry. We get danger on many fronts that our characters must navigate along with a special treat in seeing what Paige's special ability will be after her bonding. It was phenomenal watching both Tren and Paige, develop, grow, and change. You can feel them both healing and find themselves along with Rell, Tren’s bloodbrother. The sex is of the charts hot and sizzling. The author did an exceptional job writing the sensual moments; which range from M/F, M/M/M/M/F, and more.
Their was one thing that gave me pause. It was when Tren talks about the growth regiment for human women who are bonding with their Kadothian men. It’s explained well and ya, the Kadothian’s are big in more way’s then one, but I don’t think someone should change for another even their soul mates. This one thing didn’t deter me from enjoying the story.
Last, the set up for the third book was very well done, actually it's a cliffhanger, so be warned.
Paige's Warriors captured me from the first to the last page. I couldn't put the book down and I'm really enjoying the world and erotic sci-fi romance that the author has created. I'm looking forward to continue the Bondmates series; especially after the ending in this novel.
Rated: 4.5 Warriors Stars

I like this series a lot and this book did a great job building the world. The heroine is sweet and really comes into her own. The romance between the two men is more compelling that the romance with the heroine but that is not a bad thing.
I am waiting for the next one!

GENRE: Erotica, Science Fiction Romance, Aliens, Ménage
PUBLICATION DATE: May 16, 2016
CLIFF HANGER: Yes
Warning- This story is set in the Bel'Tan galaxy where polyamorous relationships are the norm and love in all of its forms is accepted including M/M, M/M/F, M/M/M/M/F sexual situations hot enough to melt your panties. Not for 18 and under.
5 Kadothian Warrior Stars!
SYNOPSIS:
After a lifetime of war, Commander Trenzent has left behind the bloody battlefields of the Bel'Tan galaxy and traveled to Earth in the hopes of finding his bondmate. He can only pray that the one woman in the universe who can save his battered soul can look past his scarred exterior to the man within. Unfortunately for Tren, his potential bride is terrified of men thanks to years of abuse at the hands of her father and won't be easy to seduce.
Tren
Paige Grant is pretty sure she's losing her mind obsessing about a man who doesn't exist. Ever since the night a wormhole opened up next to Jupiter she's had these intense dreams about a terrifying, damaged man who awakens a passion inside of her she never knew existed. Despite his grim exterior, he makes her feel safe, something she desperately needs in the real world as she fights off the advances of a man who will not take no for an answer.
Paige
But Trenzent isn't the only Kadothian warrior who believes Paige is his bondmate. An old political enemy and one time bloodbrother of Tren's, Rell Thantos, also believes the sweet and shy young Earth woman holds the missing part of his soul. He will do whatever it takes to win her heart, even if it means being bonded with a man who hates him.
Rell
The men will have to find a way to get past their anger and work together to protect Paige against an unknown enemy who is determined to keep the women of Earth out of the Bel'Tan Galaxy forever.
MY THOUGHTS:
WOW!! I was so captured by this book I couldn’t put it down. The story line is so different and the way the story is spun you can’t help but keep turning the page. So needless to say I flew through this book and was so sad when it ended. I don’t know if everyone will think it ends on a cliffhanger, but I sure did and I can’t wait for the next book. Please don’t make us wait too long! I haven’t read any of the previous books in this series and it can be read as a standalone, but it would be better to read the first two books to see more of Paige’s character development. The characters each have their POV and it is such a rich story. Learning new cultures and customs, accepting differences, accepting the advancement of the alien race and embracing the changes.
I don’t want to give anything away and drone on when the synopsis gives you a pretty good idea of the story line, however, there is political intrigue, mystery as to who is corrupt and questions as to who can be trusted. There is so much more to this book than the really hot sensual scenes between the characters, and let me tell you those aliens sure know how to treat a lady! The book has some very heartfelt feels and I got a lump in my throat a few times; feeling the other person’s feelings and the intense bond, the sense of belonging between the mates. I loved this book and I loved the characters.
If you love paranormal romance than this is a great read. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Paige is not my favorite h in this series but it was a surprisingly light & entertaining read. I look forward to Cormac Roxy & Nosa I suspect it'll enjoy their story as much as I did the Cassey's.

*** I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review ***
I've been a fan of the Bondmates series since the first installment, Casey's Warriors, so it was my honor to receive a review copy of Paige's Warriors, the third e-book in the series. This is also the story that I've been the most curious about since Paige was first introduced in the initial volume. It was gratifying to see someone who has survived long-term abuse to get their happy ending, but still with the understanding that she's always going to be dealing with happened to her on some level. I appreciated that she out of all of the women so far in the series had no qualms about having a polyamorous relationship. She knew what she wanted and needed out of the relationship and sought after it.
In general, it's nice reading a series that attempts to be sex positive and shows the author has an excellent understanding of what healthy dominant-submissive relationships actually look like. No creepy doms here, and there are some role-reversals depending on the partners' individual needs. I also appreciate that sex work is viewed positively in the Kadothian culture, and that sexual expression in public is considered healthy. We could use more of that mindset in the real world.
If you're looking for a hot, steamy, romance set in outer space with lots of adventure and a good dose of humor, this book should be right up your alley.

Paige's Warriors by Ann Mayburn is the third book in the Bandmates world and tells Paige's heartwrenching story.
Paige Grant is best friends with Casey and her sister Roxy. She's a college student with a rough past when her life's changed, just like that of everyone of her friends. Because Paige too is destined to be a bondmate. Only the shy ond quiet young woman's bondmate is a battlehardened, battered war - warrior hero, Commander Trenzent. He can't believe he's about to find his destined mate, he's too near the madness. But Paige is the female who's about to heal him in ways he never had dared to dream of. And there's the second male in their triage. Rell, the spy and shunned bondmate of Tren.
Put one Warrior husband, one beloved spy and one hopelessly romantic and more than gifted female together, mix it up with a great story and you get an captivating read that I could' t put down. I had to know what happens next to the characters. The book ends in kind of a cliffie and I really, really can't wait to get my hands on the next Bondmates story, Roxy's Warriors.

One hot Syfy romance!
If there is one thing you can count on from Ms. Mayburn no matter the romance genre it’s the incendiary loving. I’m very taken with her Syfy Bondmates series. What could be better for justifying an MMF menage relationship than an alien matriarchal culture that necessitates its warriors form bonds for their very survival and sanity until they meet that one woman they are meant to bond with? Even with the necessity these warriors keep their blood brotherhoods secret and not out of shame but rather to protect each other politically and in times of war from being used against each other.
As the Kadothian male ages, he starts to lose himself to his inner beast. The only thing that can fully arrest the madness is a bond with their bondmate. Until they find their bondmate the bond they hold with their blood brother lessens the effects. Eventually, though, this bond is not enough. The loss of emotion is one of the first symptoms of the oncoming madness.
In the case of Trenzent and Rell, they’ve been blood brothers and lovers for a millennium. That is until several decades ago when an incident & misunderstanding led to a schism and absolute hatred on Tren’s part. Now, both Tren and Rell are close to succumbing to their beasts. Then Tren’s mate is found on Earth. With the political unrest in the Bel’Tan Galaxy and slavers on the loose, Tren is forced to accept the help of his blood brother to protect their mate.
Paige Grant had an abusive childhood that has left her scarred and reluctant to engage in a relationship. She was attending college when an inexplicable natural disaster struck Earth. In the days following the event, Paige and her friends have retreated to their small hometown to avoid the violence and unrest of the city. When one of her best friends schemes to meet the hot guys that have moved in next door, Paige meets Tren. She’s drawn to this scarred but beautiful man from the instant they meet. Her nights are filled with erotic dreams of two men. For a virginal Paige with major relationship issues when it comes to men, both reactions are highly abnormal. For the first time, she’s blossoming into the woman she was meant to be.
Both Tren and Rell are powerful men. The discovery of their bondmate puts a rather large target on Paige’s back. Navigating the danger while creating a bond with Paige has its challenges. With the bond comes clarity that has these two rediscovering a powerful love. Paige’s Warriors is a hot and steamy read that will have you turning the pages in anticipation. The series arc seriously expands with this addition to the Bondmate series. I couldn’t put it down and I’m really looking forward to Roxie’s story.

Welcome back to Kadothia with Paige and her Warriors and what a welcome it was!
I've stated before that I am an Ann Mayburn Stalker so I was greatly honoured that I received an Arc to review (As well as doing a little happy dance when I received it) Paige's Warriors is the third installment of the Bondmates Series and I have been a fan from the first book. I was eagerly awaiting Paige's story wondering how it would unfold for this very shy timid young woman.
And Ms Mayburn you didn't disappoint Not that you ever could remember stalker here!!
We start back on earth and touch upon something's from Casey's book but these needed to happen for the story to follow and it is only touched upon not once did I feel that it was a repeat. I loved that Paige's Bondmate was Tren I felt that she need the stronger older male for her to feel safe after what she had suffered from the hands of her father. Then throw in Rell and they make the perfect partners. And who knew that when Paige met Tren that, that would completely bring her out of her shell and bring out her inner sexy submissive self!!! Paige is so loving and understanding that nothing phases her although still a little shy in large groups she really does come into her own on the reaping ship. Even though the kadothian people have been warned that Earth women will be less accepting of their ways Paige blows them away with so much love, understanding, trust and acceptance. Something I think we all could with a little more off.
These three scarred people find peace and love in each others arms and that's all that matters because Love Is Love.
And with any Ann Mayburn books we get a whole lot more ;-) She really does know how to write hot, steamy, knicker melting erotic and passionate storys.
This book does end on somewhat of a cliffhanger leading us into Roxie's, Cormac and Nosa's book and I can't freaking wait to read it.

Commander Trenzent has finally found his bondmate and he can only hope that she can look past his scarred exterior but in finding his bondmate he will also have to come to terms with his Bloodbrother Rell Thantos who also believes that the shy young Earth woman is the missing part of his soul in this enthralling sci-fi romance.
Trenzent and Rell will have to find a way to get past their anger and work together if they want to protect Paige against an unknown enemy who is determined to keep the woman of Earth out of the Bel’Tan Galaxy forever. Readers can’t help but become enthralled with this passionate romance that has such a fairytale flair with strong, captivating characters that easily draw readers in and refuse to let go. Paige is the shy young woman who yearns for a fairytale life while Tren and Rell are sexy, commanding aliens who have their own troubled souls that they need Paige to heal so readers get lots of emotional turmoil flowing from the characters which add depth and bring them to vibrant life and well the intimate scenes sizzles with some scorching hot chemistry that fires passion in the coldest of souls in a fast paced and smooth flowing plot that bursts with suspense, excitement and romance.
In addition to the personal side of this story keeping readers readers on the edge of the seat with anticipation excitement builds as some nasty aliens come to Earth with some evil plans causing chaos and danger. The story is brought to life by the author’s use of vivid details, well written scenes, intriguing events and some interesting concepts that capture the imagination and keep readers glued to the pages.
To me the blurb is a bit misleading but that doesn’t mean that the book wasn’t great because Paige’s Warriors had me enthralled from the very beginning and the author spiced things up by adding quite a few surprises into the mix and an ending that has me ready for the next one already.

To me the blurb is a bit misleading but that doesn’t mean that the book wasn’t great because Paige’s Warriors had me enthralled from the very beginning and the author spiced things up by adding quite a few surprises into the mix and an ending that has me ready for the next one already.
4 ½ STARS

I am so excited to be able to read Paige’s Warriors. I feel like I have waited a long time for this book to come out (in reality only a couple of months) and No, No, No I wasn’t ready for this book to end. I want more! At least I know the way Paige’s Warriors ends that there will be another book. And, YES Ann Mayburn I did enjoy my trip to Kadothia. And, YES I am ready for Roxie’s story. Roxie's Warriors (coming late 2016).
This is Commander Trenzent, Paige & Rell Thantos (Tren’s Bloodbrother) story and I loved their story. I never thought I would love reading anything Sci-Fi but, throw a little HOT romance into the mix and I could read Sci-Fi all day long. Thank you for making Sci-Fi interesting to me Ann Mayburn!
For anyone that follows my reviews regularly know that I let you read the synopsis for yourself that the author writes because I feel that they do a far better job than I do. Also, that way I don’t leave any unintentional spoilers. But, if you love Sci-Fi and want a little HOT romance in your books then you need to start reading this series and also this book. But, I would suggest you start with book 1 in this Bondmates Series Casey’s Warriors. Book 2 is Jaz’s Warriors and now Book 3 is Paige’s Warriors due out soon. By the way Goodreads list Jaz’s Warriors as Book 1.5 which is a little confusing. I think it may be because it is a Novella.
Oh there is a warning on this book and it may not be for everyone so, I am including the warning in my review.
“Warning- This story is set in the Bel'Tan galaxy where polyamorous relationships are the norm and love in all of its forms is accepted including M/M, M/M/F, M/M/M/F, M/M/F+M/M sexual situations hot enough to melt your panties.”
I loved this story and I received a complimentary copy for an honest review. I give Paige’s Warriors 5 STARs and really look forward to Book 4.

Wow! Lets start off with completely believable and plausible story line, add in 3 of my girlfriends and this book could totally happen. Problem one: We don't have anyone as sweet and innocent as Paige in our real-life group. I'm probably more like Roxie and Casey mixed. I would be completely down with this but running from it at the same time. Guilty....I swear I have had this fantasy....lets just say a little more than is deemed normal. I mean come on....Extremely hot and damaged guy steals you away from Earth...promises nothing but pleasure...allows other men in your bed and allows you to marry another one..plus he is a willing participant in ALL acts? Yes! My version of heaven and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
The story-line was great! It was exciting, detailed, and the sex scenes were off the chain. I loved how the author maneuvered around the height issue and just made the story work!! My favorite character was probably Tren. You got follow him along closely in the story and see how he developed and changed because of her. It was exciting and heart-wrenching and I totally want a Tren of my own!!
But be warned!!! Ann Mayburn (if you are not familiar with her work) will lead you down this long and extremely exciting road only to throw you forcibly off a cliff and laugh at you while you are glancing up at her questioningly as you are plummeting towards the ground. I say this with much love but she kills me with the cliffhangers. I want the next book now and knowing I have to wait is exquisite torture. But I have no doubt that the second installment will be worth the wait!!! Hats off to you Ann Mayburn!! This was a wicked yummy to add to a sure to be phenomenal series!!!!

I really enjoyed this book and I’m so happy Tren found his bondmate as well as Rell. Also, Paige is a darling girl who deserves to be loved and cherished. Ann Mayburn does a fantastic job of carrying this series forward. We get to see a little of all the characters from the other two books as well as a few new ones. We also understand why Tren and Rell are so closed off and why it was so important for them to find their soul mate. Moreover, we learn way Paige acts the way she does and why she shies away from men and large groups of people. However, even though we learn all these things about this group of people, we don’t get a lot of none sexual interaction between the tree. I would have loved to see more commentary between all three. I’m not saying this hurts the story (because it doesn’t) but it would make it even better.
Anywho, in this book we learn not only did the Kadothians make it through the wormhole but also slavers; wanting some human sexual healing to spread around the Bel’Tan galaxy. Paige, Rell, and Tren are all in danger and have to find a way to bond before something horrible happens. This keeps the story a little fast pace but nothing I couldn’t keep up with.
I really enjoy this world and all the people in it. It seems plausible on many levels. I can’t wait to see when a female bondmate is chosen and she has a female girlfriend or lover. How will this work? Hmmm! I get excited thinking of all the possible twist and turns this series could take. Roxy story is up next and I can’t wait to see what wild ride we will go on.
5 star read for me.

Now as someone that has previously read Jazz's Warriors and thought it was the most amazing and there was no way this author could top it. I can tell you now I was horribly wrong.
This continues the novels of aliens with polyamory relationships from the Bel Tan Galaxy. This author does such an amazing job at creating this alien world.
I can just see it playing out as she is describing it in my mind.
Paige is such an amazing character, having dealt with heartache and pain and suffering in her life. She tends to shy away from men and isn't good about living her life the way she should because of all her trauma.
That is until she meets the scarred Tren an amazing warrior with a heart of gold searching for her.
Things unfold quickly and a little bit crazy with this couple. And little does Paige know but Tren has a blood brother he has hated for a few decades and he is meant to be her other husband.
I just loved this story and I couldn't put this down.
I absolutely cannot wait to read the next novel in this series I love it and am completely addicted.

Out of this F...... World!!!!
If I could give a higher star rating I so would. Paige's warrior's was an epic joyride, filled with suspense, intrigue and loads of sexy ;) Ann has never failed to deliver an awe inspiring tale that leaves the reader breathless with anticipation at what could happen next.
I seriously loved the descriptions of Tren and Rell (especially Rell since I love Harry Potter) Although I must say Tren's description hit closer to home for me, since my hubby of fifteen years has scars that cover half of his back on the left, the upper left pectoral, and upper left arm. It gave Tren a more "real" ish feel for me.
Either way, another job well done Ann :) I am eagerly awaiting Roxie's story now.

To Little Need More!
There are so many possibilities with this series, that I'm not sure how Ann couldn't go off in different directions all the time. Paige's story feels like it is only beginning and there is so much more growth and details that need to come out. I like when an author leaves me wanting but not to the extent of being annoyed she is moving on to the next couple with only cameos to follow. I hope the next one is just more rather than less of the potential that just cries out to be told in-depth! I will still read them but hopefully she will allow herself to run a little wild and gives us more of her current couples and stories within stories.

Just wonderful
This whole series is amazing and I've read all of them at least once. Ann has brought these characters to life in such glorious detail that I wish I could be friends with them.
The 2 men are very distinct from each other with serious issues that Paige is able help them with. A lot of books in this genre have men that are so similar it's almost impossible to keep them separate.
Rell and Tren are so damaged you just want to give them big hugs. Watching Paige comes into her strength and power is wonderful to see.
I highly recommend this book and the series.

I....I.... Just wow Ann has me speechless and dying for Roxie's book to get here. I've read other of the Bel'Tan Galaxy/Kadoathian books so I got to revisit some familiar faces, including seeing how the story of a secondary character from Jaz's story.
As usual Ann spins a fantastical tale of a wormhole that opened near Jupiter, the mayhem caused here on Earth by the Event (each story shows the effects on where the heroine lives, Jaz was in Harlem New York and Paige in Ann Arbor Michigan), followed by meeting and bonding with their mate(s) - with tons of laughs, a few frustrations, and a heaping helping of sexy times..... I can't say how much I love this series.

I sort of devoured this book. It was light and sweet and surprisingly funny. It was a perfect 'summer read'.
There were a few editing issues and the events of the book do move at an unrealistic pace, but who cares!? I didn't.
It was great to watch Paige flourish under the love from her bondmates and I loved her psychic power was tied to her light and pure spirit. Like I said it was sweet.
I feel like there is another book here for the author to explore. I hope she revisits Paige's story in the future.

I was given an Arc in return for an honest review. This is the third book in the series and I loved it. We first got a glimpse of a shy Paige in the first book when Casey met her warriors, now she has her two of own, Tren and Rell. These three are each scarred in their own way from life experiences but together they are a perfect match. Ann has created a great world and her character building can be seen throughout the book as the main and secondary characters grow with each page turned. Now I have to impatiently wait for her next book in the series. Great job, well done Anne.

I liked this book in the series. The down side of this book for me was that the story of Commander Trenzant and his blood brother was something that was could have been gone into a little more that would have been great. I liked how being with them made Paige a better more confident person. This story was a great bridge story and I liked how you could see glimpses of Casey & Jaz's story lines. All in all amazing. Roxie is gonna be a badass but I am excited to see how Kimber deals with the men of the Bel'Tan Galaxy.

I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review...
Fitting, perfect, and right. Paige has been hurt she is afraid of men. When the Event happens and things start changing no one thought it would mean Paige would fall for the roughest of the men possible. Commander Trenent is there to see to Paige and make sure she is ok and protected. When she is no longer safe he moves her to the ship. Paige then has a decision to make to go with him or not? To bond with him or not? Truth is she is already fall for him.

Paige's Warriors is a story of three wounded people finding each other. Through the love and passion they share, healing is possible for all of them. I love that by being with Paige, Tren and Rell become stronger in every way. I love that Paige also became so much stronger with them in her life too. There is some serious scorch between them and a bit of suspense as well. I so enjoyed their story and I can't wait to read more of the Bondmates series.
I give Paige's Warriors 4 hearts!

I Can't Wait for Roxie's book just hope it doesn't take over a year to get her story as can't wait to read the next one

Good
I really enjoyed this book. I wish, however, that Paige was a little more realistic in her reactions to certain situations. She just accepted everything with a whatever attitude that was a little unbelievable. Still, I was thoroughly entertained.

I have waited what seemed like forever for this book to come out. Seeing Paige grow and evolve in this book was an amazing journey that I totally enjoyed.
