Terranovum Brides #3

A Gift for the Commander

Rate this book
After she is rescued from a cruel tyrant and brought to the planet Terranovum, Olivia soon discovers that she is to be auctioned to the highest bidder. But before she can be sold, she must be trained, and the man who will train her is none other than the commander of the king’s army.

Wes has tamed many human females, and when Olivia resists his efforts to bathe her in preparation for her initial inspection, he strips the beautiful, feisty girl bare and spanks her soundly. His stern chastisement leaves Olivia tearful and repentant yet undeniably aroused, and after the punishment she cannot resist begging for her new master’s touch.

Once she has been examined Olivia’s training begins in earnest, and Wes takes her to his bed to teach her what it means to belong to a dominant man. But try as he might, he cannot bring himself to see Olivia as just another slave. She touches his heart in a way he thought nothing could, and with each passing day he grows more certain that he must claim her as his own. But with war breaking out across Terranovum, can Wes protect both his world and his woman?

Publisher’s A Gift for the Commander is the third book of the Terranovum Brides series. It includes spankings and sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

Spanking overload

For me there were just too many spanking scenes, like every other page!
However underneath all that there was a decent story unlike no other I have read before, short and sweet but left no cliffhangers.
I would of liked the book to cut the spanking and sex down and focus more on the story as I lost count how many pages of sex I skipped.
Still well worth a read, the author has a brilliant imagination and the storyline parts of the book were very well staged and written :)

Terranovum is a planet filled with great beauty, wonder, and true magic! But nothing is ever perfect, regardless of how wondrous it might seem. When native women from Terranovum give birth to female children, those females are infertile. As a result, the Terranovans got creative long ago. Their solution? Kidnap females from Earth to keep Terranovum's population stable and thriving. The Earth females are trained and auctioned as slaves. Some are fortunate enough to earn a place in Terranovan society as wives. And some are endowed with very special and extraordinary powers, the likes of which could never be imagined on Earth!

Olivia started life on Terranovum as a female slave assigned to a kind family living on the edge of Legeari. But all that changed when forces from D'Lormere invaded, killing the family she was serving and capturing her. After undergoing unimaginable torture and terror, she's finally rescued. Now she's back in Eridell, the capital of Legeari, and about to undergo training to be auctioned off as a slave to yet another owner. And while the family she used to serve was kind to her, her new trainer, Wes, is anything but. Wes is a commander in the Terranovan military, friend and confidante of the king, and is filled with hatred of the malicious wickedness that is the center of D'Lormere, that evil which destroyed his life in so many ways. His only goal is life is to seek vengeance for the loss of so much. He wants to feel nothing, do his job, protect the kingdom, and find his revenge. But Olivia gets to him. And he seems to take great delight in tormenting and baiting her to the point where her defiance and anger get the best of her. Olivia's life changes when she meets two new friends who are so very special and make a huge difference in her life. As she settles into some semblance of normalcy, the ancient evil at the heart of D'Lormere, that which has been trying to destroy not only Legeari, but the entirety of Terranovum, suddenly makes a reappearance. When Olivia's once again captured by the vicious ruler of D'Lormere, everything's turned upside down and inside out. Olivia learns that she's not just another human. She's very special in ways she never could have imagined. What exactly is she, and why has she never know about any of this before? Her life, and the lives of everyone on Terranovum, could very well rest in her hands. But she has no idea what to do and how to do it. She needs help to figure this out. But where can she possibly find that help? And despite Wes' best intentions, he knows he has to help her, and the others like her, who are the last, best hope for all of Terranovum. Will he be able to set aside his anger and thirst for vengeance? Or will he doom himself, Olivia, and possibly all of Terranovum to extinction because he can't accept what is right in front of him? Nothing is certain. Everything is at stake. Ultimately, there are six people who will have to make life-altering decisions that could save, or end, all life on Terranovum. Will they be able to do it, or will they fail utterly, losing everything they hold dear?

Sara Fields is an absolutely brilliant author and one of my very favorites. Her writing is creative, ingenious, and inventive. She has the ability to combine sci-fi, paranormal, and erotic romance into a confection of incredible delight, depth, and wonder. This third and final book in the Terranovum Brides Trilogy is the climax of the entire series, and Sara Fields ends this trilogy in such an amazing and memorable way! Once again, the combination of action, adventure, magic, good, evil, and romance are uniquely and deliciously enchanting. Ms. Fields has taken the world she has created and given us an ending that I'll never forget. She is a true master of this genre. This series has been a real treat for me, from beginning to end. I give A Gift for the Commander my very highest recommendation. Thank you, Sara Fields, for creating such a wonderful world full of delight, magic, mystery, and so much more. This book, and entire series, is exceptional, and you're truly an author extraordinaire!

One final note. Please be an informed reader and consumer! This is an ADULT book. It contains explicit language and sexual scenes. If you don't enjoy this genre, think hard before buying any book you know you won't enjoy. There are book synopses and reviews available on Goodreads and all booksellers' websites. USE THESE RESOURCES. DON'T LEAVE A NEGATIVE REVIEW WHEN YOU KNOW YOU WON'T ENJOY THE BOOK. IT'S NOT FAIR TO THE AUTHOR! She works extremely hard to provide a quality work product. If you know you'll object to the book's subject matter before you buy it, you're doing yourself and the author an extreme disservice.

Thanks for reading my review and happy reading!

This is Wes' story where we find out more about him. He takes a slave named Olivia for training but the more they get to know each other the more they become close. Olivia desperately wants to be Wes' but his heart is hurt after the loss of his love Emma. In this conclusion of the Terranovum Brides trilogy, we get to see the epic battle against Lord Nero, can how three heroines and their men save the world of Terranvum from evil and darkness?

I really loved this story. I loved Olivia she was so sweet and submissive and would do anything for Wes. Wes he's a tough cookie and doesn't make his feelings known to Olivia until near the end of the book. They are a great couple. I loved that the other girls accepted her immediately to the point of getting s spanking after sneaking into Wes' room to get a look at her. I loved the story, all the history of Terranovum and the magic. The three girls work well together and of course there's the men who support and protect them as well as give them a good spanked bottom. This was a great story!

It was an okay read

Well written but I guess after the second book it kinda got to be a little over kill I skimmed over most of the intimate scenes because seriously I don't see any one really enduring that amount of spanking and the whole please master punish my naughtiest hole thing got old fast... so needless to say the first book was good it showed great promise to be an excellent series but the second book I skimmed over the majority of it as well because it was mainly spank after spank so on so forth...i also found it very hard to believe how ignorant Olivia was to the way of these people when she had been living with them for some time...she wasn't a new human she survived under Lord Nero and you would think she would know what they expected of her but the author needed a new human to write about so she had to use her since she killed off Emma. I think some would enjoy this a lot but for me it got old fast.

Great conclusion to this series. MMC Commander Wes is still grieving the loss of his submissive Emma. He does everything he can to stay busy. Working with the new female trainees and trying to take down Nero.
He sees FMC Olivia, who's a new female trainee. He decides to take over her training. Before long he's comparing her to his lost love and cruelly leaves her one night all alone. Nero attacks the next day and tortures Olivia. Wes finally realizes he could have lost her and pledges himself to her forever.
The kingdom must still take down Nero. The king, Kade, Wes and their mates work together to bring him down.
Lots of spankings, whippings, sexual relations, and magic. Mature audiences only

Olivia and Wes

Olivia is a human slave who is rescued from abusive Nero. She is to be trained as a submissive then sold at auction. Wes decides to train her himself. Feelings develop but he doesn't plan to keep her. Then Nero attacks.

Lots of punishment spankings with more than just Wes' hand. Olivia loves them.

Ok book but like the others there is too much spanking. I don't get how pain can become pleasurable. Pain is pain, torture is torture, simple as that. I would rather die than endure so much pain.
The only bits I really love was Ragoth & the dragons scenes.

Wow, just wow. This book was fabulous and ohhh so hot! The interactions between Olivia and Wes were so intense I am amazed the e reader didn't melt. It was great seeing how the relationships developed from the previous stories. The world building in this story was phenomenal especially if you read all three of the books. The development of the ancient magic and the growing evil is clearly explained without feeling like you needed to keep notes. Well done!

A SERVANT TO PAIN AND SUBMISSION

This is the third and final story in The Terranovum Bride trilogy. Each book could be read as a standalone, but honestly, would be better understood read in written order. This story will have several key players from the first two stories and as a collective, help make up this fascinating tale of good versus evil of light and dark. The story is a sci-fi fantasy made up of “Humans, Aliens, massive lions, wolves, and dragons, and then there was all that magic. Crazy, right? This is the stuff of legends.”

Olivia has been a human, captured and brought to Terranovum many years ago from Earth where she was a military pilot on leave and taken from the beach. For many years she was a human slave in a home, helping with cooking, cleaning, and childcare until she was captured and became a slave under Lord Nero. While under Nero, she was tortured, used, and abused. When he was captured in book two, she was aboard his spacecraft and found herself in Legario. She was then taken and placed in the human cells to be auctioned off once again.

Wes, the commander to King Dante, is still mourning the loss of his submissive Emma, murdered by Lord Nero. He decides he is going to be involved in the preparation and training of new human slaves. Seeing Olivia, he decides she will be his to train and prepare for the auction. What he wasn’t expecting was her spunk, defiance, and the pleasure she receives from pain. “Why did she get the sense that he was a predator, and she, his prey?” “You will take what I give you, kitten.”

There is something unusual and unique about Olivia and the more the pain/pleasure she is subjected to, the more she emits a glowing light. “…a servant of pain, one who finds freedom in submitting to another.” The more Olivia submits to him, the deeper she falls in love, but what about healing Wes and his broken heart?

Morgana feels Olivia has magical powers, and so do some of the mythical creatures. Together, Lana, Morgana, and Olivia must try to find a way to help defeat the evil Lord Nero and the answer must be in the Hall of Magic. Can these three human women together possess the power needed to free Terranovum of evil and bring about harmony? “Fated to bring together the magic of strength, innocence, and freedom.”

A sci-fi erotic romance with a touch of the paranormal thrown in and the third novel in the Terranovum Brides trilogy. A familiar story arc where the forces of light are battling against the tyrannical dark forces of the Soul Eater. The country is on the brink of a civil war. The two protractors are Wes an alpha Erassan male with messy hair, a fine specimen that would whet any gals' baser appetites, cocky and uber confident about his abilities, Olivia a feisty human slave. Both have suffered at the hands of the Soul Eater Lord Nero. Incidentally, all the alpha males have messy smexy hair. As a slave, Olivia has been brutally abused by Lord Nero and his soldiers. Her capture by Wes is a blessing in disguise or is it? Humans have been slaves on Terranovum for centuries. Wes sees potential in Olivia and decides to be her trainer, rather unusual for him. There's no doubt of the attraction they have for each other. Olivia cannot help but desire Wes who demands complete obedience from her and will not hesitate to spank her should she disobey him. Spanking publicly at times is the norm on Terranovum and it's surprising that Olivia is not badly bruised with all the spanking she receives for her defiance. Wes despite being preoccupied by the war cannot get Olivia out of his mind. Fields hints at a deeper mystery throughout. The novel is disjointed at times particularly towards the end. There is so much raw emotion in their tale but unfortunately Fields misses the opportunity for an in depth exploration. One might find the casual treatment of human slavery disturbing. Fields however does a brilliant job evoking the eroticism in a romantic sci fi setting. She adeptly blends every BDSM trope with the story arc. Fans of this genre will be delighted and for this, alone she should receive the five stars I have awarded her. Despite being a trilogy, it can be read as an HEA stand-alone and no cliffhangers. One will however be intrigued enough to desire the whole trilogy.

I received this book from Stormy Night Publications as an advance review copy.

This is the third book in a series (1- A Gift for the King, 2 - A Gift for the Doctor). I have not read the first two books, but you get enough backstory in reading this book that you can still enjoy this book and not be totally lost, if you have not read the first two books.

I really enjoyed this book. The story and characters are really well written. The story flows and it sucked me in and I could not put it down. The author brings that characters to life. I love sci-fi/fantasy and the incorporation of both aspects really made this story great (I want my own Asad). Even though the story is short the author manages to give a complete story without the reader feeling cheated by a story that has a rushed ending due to the length of the book. I will definitely be purchasing book 1 and 2.

Golly Gee!! I think this Gift book was even better than the first two, which were great. I love exploring this new world with its fascinating history, dragons, wolves, magic, hint of Age Play, strong alpha dominant men and lovely young woman who loved being taken in hand and submitted completely. There was hot explicit sex, numerous spanking scenes which were discribed beautifully and using arousing words like naughty, little girl and many more. I highly recommend this book! I was given this book by Stormy Nights Publication for an honest review. The thoughts and opinions are mine.

Another good story

This author has created another really good story in this series. Be warned .. This one is heavy on the spanking but it is still written into the storyline as part of way to beat Lord Nero. The characters are well developed and I enjoyed the other characters from the first two books (all are standalone so with a theme to eliminate Lord Nero 's evil). Although I have enjoyed all three, this one is probably my least favorite, but still I enjoyed the book. I look forward to following this author as she continues to write.

I read this story as a stand alone having never read any of the previous books in the series. Overall, it was an enjoyable story. The discipline and sex scenes were well written, although the discipline scenes seemed to come a bit too frequently. I enjoyed the magical fantasy aspects of the story. I think I probably would have gotten more from that side of the story if I had read the earlier stories, but I still understood enough to enjoy it.
