This one was as DNF for me though I thought the writing itself was fine It just unfortunately wasn’t working for me at this time.

This is the final book in the "Breeder" series. The story is about Anika, sister to Marlix(2nd book) and Urazi, Marlix's beta. Theirs is a forbidden romance because Anika as a female and must become a breeder to an Alpha. Urazi was severely wounded in the 2nd book and during his recuperation time, he and Anika developed a romance of sorts. This book is a bit different than the other books, in that it's really a story about Anika and her struggle against Protocol, where women are seen as nonentities. There is also quite a bit of action and suspense. I enjoyed it immmensly and loved that we got to revisit with the other 2 couples! My only complaint is that I wish there were ore scenes w Anika and Urazi. And I wished Urazi was a bit more "alpha"......but in the end he does redeem himself! I wish there were more stories from this "Parseon world". My favorite book of the series is Tara and Marlix's story because of the humor between these two.

The third and final story was one that piqued my curiosity since both hero and heroine were known to me in the earlier books. Plus, the civil war on Parseon between ideologies definitely has my vested interest. It was a great showdown in more ways than one.
Review

Yes, as I noted, earlier, Warrior is the third book in the exciting and passionate domestic discipline sci-fi Breeder series. It relies on the reader’s knowledge of the Breeder universe not to mention it is the culmination of what the earlier two stories were building toward so not a good candidate for standalone or out of order.

Anika, a Parseon breeder, has led an interesting life and wishes to continue along a path she has been blazing. She wants freedom above all things even when it doesn’t make sense or isn’t safe. This was her quest to achieve it. Urazi a great Alpha Commander’s former beta and now at loose ends, is at a fork in the road, too. He quietly and steadily is headed in the same direction as Anika. She blazes a trail with a ‘come hell or high water’ attitude and gets into trouble each move she makes with Urazi coming along to get her unstuck even while she pulls him along in her wake.

This was a ticklish book for me. I enjoyed it. I really did. Urazi is a character that I found fascinating. He was deemed a beta classification and he is honorable, dutiful, and has a quiet strength and wisdom that others do not have. I loved getting his story and how he shows the value of a strong beta. Now, Anika… eh. She was doing what she could- fumbling and bumbling her way through mistakes and mishaps toward her goal like an overgrown puppy. I was cheering for her while at the same time; I shook my head because daring-do is alright, but it only worked because she did have a reluctant partner in Urazi. He loves her and wants her and he does tend to stifle her when he only wants to keep her safe, but she gives him no reason to think she deserves to take pointman on their excursions. So… I don’t know. Mixed feelings about Anika, I guess.

The romance was already a given since this pair are known and attracted already. It was a matter of learning to value and respect other things about each other, learn their own strengths and value what each brought to a relationship and their adventure journey to help bring down the Alphas who wished to continue the oppression and take over the planet. That portion of the book was exciting and tense. Loved how the author wound out the difficulties and breath-taking situations. Things got pretty dire a few times and I loved it.

The development of story and characters is what drew me in the first place and what continued to make this a great book/series for me.

Ha! And I suspected Marlix’s motives all along and loved that final scene between him and Urazi.
Things wrapped up neatly and I enjoyed the epilogue which ended the series on a high note.

While, Warrior was possibly the least shocking of the three when it came to the way the females are treated, there is still plenty to make someone be cautious if an abusive culture toward women or even the dynamics of a Domestic Discipline relationship are not their thing. But for those who are intrigued, this is a good choice if a sci-fi DD mash-up is something you would enjoy.

So, in summary, a well-developed world, cast, and plot that I can heartily recommend to sci-fi erotic romance lovers.

I rec’d this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.

A fantastic end to a super series i have really enjoyed this series and this one did not disappoint if you have not read these then go get them you wont be disappointed.

Warrior is the third book in Breeder series.I adore the main caracter Anika and Illian.in this novel. Though she’s a female and has no rights under Parseon law, she wants the freedom to carve her own path in life.The book is great.When I started reading I couldn't put it down.

This is the third book in the Breeder series. I would not consider this book to be a standalone and for you to read the first two, “Breeder” and “Terran” in order, this will help you understand the male-dominating world author Cara Bristol has created. I have really enjoyed reading this series; the heroine again is strong, smart, and stubborn. Anika was introduced to us in the first book; she is the sister to Alpha Commander Marlix. She was determined to choose her life and not let her brother make choices for her. I thought Anika’s character to be strong; even though she was raised to obey and submit to the men of her world. She fought for her freedom and fell in love with Urazi a Beta and second to her brother. I loved how determined she is and it shows women of her world that you are not cattle and should not be used as a vessel for a man’s release. As I have mentioned in my previous reviews there is the topic of abuse and rape for those who have these types of triggers. But I felt this story was leaning more towards empowering woman. This story had action, suspense, story twists, and consensual hot alien sexy scenes you should check it out.

***I voluntarily reviewed this ARC for an honest review via NetGalley and Romance, Sci Fi & Fantasy, this is my honest opinion and has not been influenced by the author, Publishers or NetGalley in anyway.***

A big thank you to NetGalley for the ARC for my honest review. I knew this was book 3 going in but I thought I would give it a try as I usually like this author. I did not read the first 2 books. I was a bit confused and didn't quite understand the society. This may be a stand alone but I think you should probably read them all. I personally couldn't connect with the concepts or the characters. So for me this was just ok. I .May go read the first two and try again. Sometimes my mood affects if I like a book or not. What is your take?

Another well-written story in the "Breeder" series. Good plot. Hot

4 solid stars

This was a nice conclusion to this series. It's a bit rough for the females and lesser males in this world but I was still entertained by the whole dynamic. This book was different than the previous books being it involved a beta and an Alpha's sister. They're both natives so it's interesting to watch how they shuck their societies standards for their feelings for each other. This one was more adventurous than just a romance. It was a nice change of pace.

Great plot ideas. I loved how the creative "Mars needs mom trope is done." However, I felt that it just a cliche thing done all over again. I felt that the Hero was just way to macho alpha. I was at points just slooooow down buddy. I felt all he was thinking is I want her to have my babies. Over and over again. I really did not enjoy this book much. Maybe I'll give it another try.

4.5 stars

Warrior is book 3 in the Breeder series and was another great story. I loved Anika, she was definitely a warrior. I loved how she was determined to live the life she wanted and not the one that was forced upon her. As I've said in my reviews of the two prior books this planet they live on woman are treated as low as cattle. They are used strictly for breeding and as vessels for sexual release and its always against their will. Urazi was amazing too. Although his relationship was different from other Alpha and Betas and he was more of an equal to Marlik I loved how in his heart he also longed for more. As strange as it was to the both of them Urazi and Anika start of as friends which is completely unheard of. I love how they progressed to lovers and how Urazi actually started to treat Anika as an equal. The ending is wrapped up really nicely and I hope this author adds more stories to this new world they live in now.

Anika and Urazi have been featured in the first two book in the series. Now they have their stories. Anika is a very strong female character and that is what gets her into trouble. Urazi is very conflicted about how he feel about this female. The story line has been developing in the first two books and comes to a believable ending with Warrior. This is a planet that needs to change and Anika and Urazi become part of that change. The world building, back story and character development are all very complex and lead to a very readable plot line. A great ending to this three book series.

I received a free copy of the book in return for an honest review.
