If you're looking for an erotic, alien, romantic...fairytale, look no further!
The Virgin Hunt Games is sexy, action-packed, and even has a happy ending...swoon! There's a prince, bad-ass female, and plenty of steamy scenes, everything you could want in an erotic alien romance. The side characters are interesting, the story is fast-paced and intriguing, and it's all tied up with a sexy bow ;)
Thanks so much to Entangled Publishing for providing an e-copy for me to read and honestly review. I devoured this one!

The Virgin Hunt Games is like a sex-fueled version of The Hunger Games.
10 Virgin women enter the games as the "hunted". The goal for the "Hunted" is to have as many sexual experiences as possible for credits (money). The kinkier the act the more credit they will receive. The "Hunters" are 10 men, who are deprived of sex for 30-days prior to the games. The goal for the "hunters" is to find the "mate"; who they were assigned to prior to entering the games, and deflower her before she has a chance to be with any other hunter.
What will happen when 2 un-matched contestants can't take their eyes off one another? What twisted obstacles lay before the contestants? Most importantly, who will survive?
If you like Erotica with some romance, then this book is a must read.

The Hunger Games + Aliens + Sex = one hell of a read. In this book aliens from around the galaxy get their chance at winning credits to bring home to their families, pay their way out of debts, or simply get revenge on an enemy. Every virgin gets paired off with a hunter, a warrior, whose main focus is to bed their virgin so they can win the credits. The virgins are all focused on winning credits too, by bedding any hunter who is not their pair. Apparently in the future we lose sight of what is and is not allowed on television and we just watch porn for 7 days straight.
I expected it to be a book that focused solely on the sex and let the story fall by the wayside, but I was pleasantly surprised that while obviously an erotica (seriously, there's sex in nearly every chapter), the story was thought out too. The different levels they played on, the relationships between the characters - not just the hero and heroine, they were all well thought out and well written. I would have liked a better description of some of the aliens but honestly that's just me being picky.
I thought it was a good book, a nice and quick read for someone who is looking for entertainment rather than learning.

If you like your books with smoking hot sex, then this is for you. But it also has a romance that is sweet as well as sexy. The Virgin Hunt Games are a violent and sex filled Games where normal rules of society doesn’t apply. Staying alive and obtaining credits by having sex is the name of the game. It really is reality TV gone mad and the madness has gripped the universe. Thank goodness it’s only every four years.
The players are there for various reasons and these are exploited by the organisers. Melody is there to get her family out of poverty, Damon for revenge. Staying together during the Games makes sense especially initially. But as time goes on more feelings become involved.
I loved the building relationship between the two main characters. It’s intense both physically and emotionally, and love how they save each other over and over. I also liked the interaction with their allies.
The futuristic world building is interesting including the racism those of mixed alien races face. Despite being in the future it exists but there’s hope with Earth being more open to diversity. I found it relevant to now and a good addition to the story because it has shaped Damon’s character.

This is the adult alien version of the hunger games. This fast-paced read keeps you on the edge of your seat. As the characters face different obstacles during the games and of course those steamy scenes are pretty white-hot.
Warning for some readers there are threats of assault, violence and death.
Viewers from all over the galaxy tune in to watch virgins lose their virginity. Melody Simmons signed up to help her family out of poverty. The best way to achieve that is to sleep with as many hunters as possible, except her assigned mate.
Half-alien Damon Banscott hates these games but jumps at the chance to confront his enemy legally in the games. When he sees Melody he feels the pull to protect her and to get to her before her assigned mate.
Melody and Damon team-up so he can be her first, also to protect her from the more ruthless hunters.
Thanks so much to Entangled, NetGalley, and the author for this ARC to review.

ARC is provided through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Damon cupped her face, his serious gaze searching hers. “It’s okay to be scared. It’s when you don’t feel fear anymore that you need to worry.” I really did enjoy it - was exactly how I imagined it or what I expected that the story is going to be. Was also fascinated that the author has a very creative way descibing the steamy scenes in different variations.
I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to read more by this author - probably going to get myself book 2 as well ;)
