Breeder Complete Series By Cara Bristol

Breeder - Omra has been sent to the Breeder Containment Facility. Her family wants her to be bought by a high ranked official and they ensured it by securing her genitals with a horrific clamp. Females on the world are just about the lowest of the low. Treated as chattel and property, used and abused at the leisure of the males. On this planet males are all, so much so that homosexual relationships are seen as the norm and these Alpha-Beta partnerships occasionally share a breeder.

Dak decides he needs to secure an heir and attends the BCF. When he finally sees a female worthy of the title of Alpha Breeder, Omra begins to crack the main walls surrounding him and his almost defunct heart. Dak always though Protocol was everything, can he really subject the woman who had stolen his heart to this hateful system?

Parseon is not a place you'd want to go on your holidays! Men rule everything and woman are in jeopardy wherever they go. My skin truly crawled in parts and I wanted to cry and punch and shout and swear at Dak and all the other males! Yes, there is a HEA eventually but this is not an easy-breezy book, definitely on the darker side of romance!

Terran - Tara left Earth for Paseon to escape her horrific past. She suffered abuse at the hands of a neighbour and she hopes for a fresh start on Parseon. She possibly misjudged just how different Earth and Parseon are! She's seen as fresh meat to the local males. When she is attacked after leaving the safety of the bazaar, she is saved and then essentially kidnapped by Marlix.

We met Marlix in book 1 and he was a bit of PITA! You never really knew if he was a good-guy or an eventual bad-guy! However, he does redeem himself somewhat but as with Dax, he's perfectly happy to discipline Tara when she does not obey him. Can one Earth woman really change a male like Marlix?

Another great but very dark read. I don't mind BDSM, etc, but this was a bit dark for my usual tastes. The story itself was great, I just skipped over the more intense discipline scenes.

Warrior - Anika has finally had enough and slipped her leash. Her brother can find happiness but he's still willing to ship her off to be a breeder for an ally? Over her dead body - which might just happen!

Urazi is all kinds of mixed up over Anika. He should not desire her as he does. He should be a strong beta for Marlix, not lusting after his sibling. But when Anika flees an arranged breeding he has no choice but to follow her. But will Anika stay found and safe with Urazi or will she fight for her independence, even if it means her downfall?

Anika has a lot of adventures during her escape from her brother's reach. But the more she learns about her own abilities and strengths, the more she also wants to be only with Urazi. But will he accept they have a possible future or will his loyalty to her brother win out?

Anika is feisty and independent and determined that there will be more to her life than what her brother or any Alpha allows her to have. I enjoyed that she led Urazi on a merry chase, she was no easy pushover. I loved the epilogue -a lot of change happens in a year. But Parseon is still a work in progress, it's going to take time to get rid of all the patriarchy!

WARNING: The Breeder Series Boxset, by Cara Bristol contains elements of physical abuse, including rape and sodomy. It may be offensive or trigger some readers and I recommend it for readers 18 years or older.

This series is about a culture where males dominate and have no respect for females. This male society is divided into categories: Alphas, the rulers, and betas, the followers. The Alphas, according to the protocol of their race, partner with Betas. The only use for females is as a breeder for the Alphas' offspring. In Book 1, Breeder, the Alpha Commander has decided that it is time for him to purchase a breeder in order to continue his line. But when he makes his purchase and returns home with his new breeder, his partner is anything but happy. Politics and jealousy create danger at every turn, leaving little trust for anyone. In Book 2, Terran, an Alpha Commander kidnaps an Earth female and goes into hiding, determind to make her his in every way and make her pay for her disrespectful, arrogant attitude towards him. In Book 3, Warrior, a breeder who was rescued from a breeder containment center has tasted freedom and doesn't wish to belong to anyone again.

I loved these books, as there is a wonderful storyline, great world building, and fabulous character development. I enjoy this writer very much and Book 1 was the first book that I had read by Cara Bristol many months ago. These and other of her books have made her one of my favorites! So if you like great adventure, action, and steamy romance, this set is one you will love! I only wish there was a fourth book in the series. There is so much that Ms. Bristol can do with characters in the very unique world. (I hope she reads this review and gets the hint.) Revolution triggered by love

The world of Parseon is a hard one. Strict proscriptions and role definitions lock male Alphas and betas, and female Breeders, into a violent and harsh society which values strength, power, and gender above all. Females are only for breeding. Only alphas may breed. Alphas and betas pair up and use each other for sexual release. But the introduction of Terran aliens (humans) sows seeds of discontent, discord, and change. These three novels tell the story of Parseon's metamorphosis from the point of view of an Alpha and his breeder (Breeder), a Terran woman who becomes an Alpha's breeder (Terran), and a beta who rises above subservience to claim a breeder of his own (Warrior). Each book looks at the struggle for love in a loveless society as a metaphor for the evolution of freedom: the right to a unique identity and personal choice, and the value of every individual's contribution to the good of all. It's fascinating stuff - dark and violent, yet hopeful, and each forbidden romance is sexy, steamy, and based on genuine love; and yet, plagued by the misconceptions and indoctrination of Parseon's brutal culture, there is an element of control and brutality that some will find unacceptable. Approach this box set with an open mind, and a mindful recognition that Parseons are NOT human. Those who can successfully merge themselves in this altered perception will find Breeder, Terran, and Warrior are complex, compelling, highly engaging, and ultimately uplifting. Cara Bristol's writing covers an astonishing range of personal discovery, emotional growth, and courage, set against a backdrop of totalitarian rule, bitter political rivalries, and cruel culture in which all must comply with their own oppression, or die. It isn't fluff reading, but I thought these three books were powerful, life-and-love affirming, and inspiring. This is a voluntary ARC review. Cara Bristol Sometimes life teaches us a lesson...


This series got better with each book. In a fascinating world, where not only were men and women not equals, men were openly divided and not equals... things are about to change, and if they are lucky, it will be for the better.

Breeder:
Sometimes life teaches us a lesson...

Dak is Alpha. Not just another alpha in a society that divides men into Alphas and Betas. He's the Alpha commander for this region, one of only 5 such commanders. He lives by the rules he governs his people by, and that he enforces... until life throws into his path someone who makes him dare to question what he's been taught, and even more dangerously, the rules they live by.

Omra was a remarkably fun heroine, in part because she has been raised in a society that believed she should be illiterate and uneducated. As a joke, her brother taught her to read... and she did. With an open and curious mind, she dares to think about her world, to try to understand, to live within its boundaries... even as she pushes to their very edges.

Both Dak and Omra have a lot to learn, but I loved their willingness to learn and to own their mistakes.

This stand-alone done in one quick read does a lot of fantastic world-building, creating an interesting society, and exploring it at a fascinating point in its evolution with interesting characters.


Terran: Book 2

In what galaxy did kidnapping equate with courtship?

Marlix was in the first book, an Alpha with an agenda, and likely, like other Alphas, with secrets. In his story, we discover the real Marlix is a more complex and fascinating character than he dares let his peers know. An Alpha who is hyper-aware of how useful a reputation can be in ruling his fifth of the planet.

Tara appeared in just a few scenes in the previous story, but with pink hair and an arm covered in tattoos, she was a scene-stealer. This woman read up on this Alien world before coming, and set out to be a positive representative of Earth, and show them what their culture was missing by example... and was doing a good job of it until Marlix walked in and threw her off balance.

I enjoyed watching these two characters have their ideas about themselves, and their cultures, be challenged, and actually face the challenges, face themselves and their assumptions, and have moments of revelation and epiphany.

Anika appears in this story, as do Dak and Omra from the previous story, but this is a solid done in one story in a fascinating and unique world.


Warrior: Book 3

“How easily one can disappearâ€"unless you try to.”

This is the third story in a series, and while it is a stand-alone done in one, it really brings home the series, so I do recommend the entire series.

Anika is a woman, as such she has no status in her society unless you consider being referred to as a 'breeder' as status. She wants more, not just for herself, in part because she has experienced... kindness, consideration.... regard. In a world where women are used, she wants to be cared about, heard.... and to contribute, as opposed to having something taken from her whether or not she is willing.

Urazi is a Beta, in a society where Alphas lead and Betas support, he has found a way to be content, until the one-two punch of failing his Alpha, and meeting Anika. Anika, whether she means to or not, challenges him to be more, to rise to a higher level, to not just support but fight.

I loved watching these two characters tackle an impossible mission, not impossible for them, impossible for two perfectly qualified people, all because they believed it needed to be done, and they feared they were the only ones in a position to do it. Instead of convincing themselves everything they'd been taught, that held them back in the past, was right, they challenged themselves to prove they could do and be more... and could learn from their mistakes along the way.

I was gifted with a copy of the box set and chose to leave a review. Cara Bristol This is a review for the complete Breeder Series by Cara Bristol, books 1-3

Setting:
Planet Parseon is a planet that is run by men and the women are second class citizens. They are only seen as breeders, cooks and cleaners. The household in Parseon includes an Alpha, his Beta and a Breeder. The Alpha and Beta are males while the Breeder is a female. Her function is to serve her Alpha and Beta. The Parseon people are very sexual and have multiple partners and sharing with the Alphas being at the top of the food chain and their command sets the pace for all others. The females are referred to as dumb because they are not educated since they must only be able to do their Alphas bidding and produce heirs. The females have no free will and must always do as they are bid or receive punishment.

There are Earth humans on Parseon, they are called Terrans from Terra (aka Earth). They made a treaty with the Parseon and some were brought to Parseon. The Terrans also helped the Parseon by donating genetic material to help them propagate their race. Most Parseon see this as a dilution of their purity and Terrans are not fully accepted into Parseon culture, having almost the same status as breeders as second class citizens.

Book One, Breeder

The first book revolves around a traditional Parseon family unit. The Alpha, Commander Dak, his Beta Corren and their newly acquired Breeder, Omra. Omra is a Parseon female trained to be a Breeder and is currently being held at a Breeder facility where Alphas come to pick out their breeders. This is the tradition in Parseon.

Commander Dak thinks only to fulfill his responsibilities as Alpha and chooses Omra. He has his mind set on what to expect with a Breeder, but Omra surprises him and brings out a yearning for connection he never experienced before and is forbidden in Parseon culture. Their household becomes disturbed with jealousy and Omra always seems to pay the price for others mistakes or doing. But in order for everyone to get what they truly desire, they have to challenge the ways of the Parseon culture risking everything.

Book Two, Terran

This book is the sequel and includes characters that we met in the first book. Tara, a human from Earth that I liked and then Alpha Marlix, who I wasn’t fond of in the first book.

Tara is a merchant at the market and sells wares. She’s friendly and a little wild with her colorfully dyed hair, tattoos and facial piercings. She understands that Parseon is a male dominated planet but still retains her care-free personality. There is a treaty that offers her protection as a Terran female, but that doesn’t stop her from being attacked. Alpha Marlix was attracted to the fiesty woman who sold textiles at the market and saves her from the brutal attack. He spirits her away to his home where he heals her from her injuries. Once her injuries are healed, he decides he wants to keep her and a battle of wills takes place, both parties fighting their attraction for the other.

This book was my favorite out of all three books. I loved Tara’s fiery personality and how she changed Marlix peronality into a better one.

Book Three, Warrior

This the final book to the three part series, and this is where we see Anika and Urazi get their happy ending. Anika was introduced in the first book as a fellow breeder at the same facility as Omra. She is also Alpha Marlix’s sister. Urazi is Alpha Marlix’s Beta from book two. They have to challenge every tradition on Parseon to find their way to each other, but Parseon has already endured much change and its time to get rid of the old traditions. This was a great end to a good series.

Even though these books are not my normal read, the story-line was intriguing. I’m not a big fan of BDSM and was not aware that these books contained these elements. For those reasons, these books are not my favorite. However, the plot, action, betrayal, twists and descriptions were very well done. It is an erotic series so there is a lot of sex between the characters, but it is not overdone. I could picture the world that the author was creating, I could feel for the characters in the story.

If you like BDSM and these type of worlds than you should definitely try this boxed set.

If your not a fan of BDSM and are offended by violence in books, then this series is not for you.

Overall, I would recommend this series.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. English

This series is a very powerful story that speaks to the disenfranchised, giving hope for their future, if only they dare act. I highly recommend it!

* Breeder (bk 1)
An extraordinary, powerfully moving story!
To imagine an existence such as that which reigns in Parseon - it boggles the mind! I find much to admire in Dak's character. He's made a treaty with Terrans, he allows the Enclave to exist in his territory, his justice (though harsh) is appropriate within cultural norms rather than abusive. It is a joy to watch the transformation when he purchases the one who will bear his children. Omra is unusual for a woman of her times, proving that females are far more capable than the males believe. Little by little, things begin to change, even though it brings danger to both of them. A fascinating, highly charged story! Not to be missed!

* Terran (bk 2)
An inspired follow-up to Breeder!
Another Alpha Commander sees the light. Marlix is on a mission to procure special fabric in the Terran section of the Marketplace. He meets colorful, bold Tara Diehl. She's as colorful in her speech as she is in her appearance. Vehemently opposed to the way Alpha Commander Dak caters to Parseons who seek change in Protocol, Marlix reacts in an unexpected manner to his encounter with Tara. Watching the changes in attitude come over him is fascinating. Slowly, progress is made. Our colorful Tara goes through plenty of changes of her own. In the end, this could be the basis of a cultural revolution. A thrilling story with cultural beliefs desperately in need of change!

* Warrior (bk 3)
A great sci fi romance, but there's more to it than that...
In a world dominated by men, Anika desperately wants to control her destiny. She escapes before her Alpha brother sends her off to mate with an Alpha she's seen just once. She leaves behind the one man she wants: Urazi, her brother's beta. Watch the story unfold as she discovers her inner strengths, finds her perfect mate and becomes an instrument of change in her world!
This is a very powerful story that speaks to the disenfranchised, giving hope for their future, if only they dare act. I highly recommend it! Cara Bristol This talented author has compiled a truly enthralling Sci-Fi Alien Series with three excellent complete Alien Breeder novels in it although each of these novels has a dark undertone, they are definitely worth reading. The storylines flow smoothly throughout extremely well-written plots that have good world building & vivid scene descriptions. The characters are individually unique with complex personalities & some of them are trapped in heart-wrenching circumstances but they do find their version of a HEA.
There is: a despicable system, female breeders, alpha males, betas, villainous villains, traditions, slavery, MM pairing, abduction, action, adventure, twists & turns, drama, intrigue, suspense, secrets, mystery, hardship, danger, violence, atrocities, a secret rebellion, defiance, inner-strength, non-consensual scenes, punishment, domestic discipline, spankings, heartache, misunderstandings, seduction, complications, determination, compromises, contentment, love & HEA. I enjoyed reading this Sci-Fi Alien Breeder Series & would recommend it to people who enjoy reading this genre.
ebook BREEDERâ€"TERRANâ€"WARRIOR

I am always enthralled by the Sci-fi stories that Ms. Cara Bristol spins. She has a knack for describing the planets, the inhabitants, animals, customs, and mannerisms that allow the reader to envision it all. The inhabitants of Parseon are larger than Terra and have divided the area into five main government areas, each with a High Commander. Within the various commanders, the adage about keeping your friends close and your enemies closer are prevalent.

BREEDER

On Parseon, it is a man’s world, and women are property, used for breeding, preferably to produce sons for Alphas, and can be discarded when the Alpha is done with them. There are no marriages, as on Terra, but instead, an Alpha male will have a male beta partner, and they enter into an anointed union. If the Alpha wishes to procreate, he will buy a breeder slave for that purpose. A breeder is also under the beta's authority, where he is free to use her anally for his pleasure.

Everything on Parseon is under the order of Protocol, which dictates a unique order, including rank, sexuality, and relationships. This form of government has taught that women are no more than breeders, are uneducated, cannot learn, cannot enjoy anything sexual, and are disposable. A group known as Enclave, which is outlawed, prefers Terra's practice, where men and women enter a relationship by mutual choice and have a loving relationship and children.

The plot will have High Commander Alpha Dak seeking a breeder slave from the Breeder Containment Facility. While there, he is dissolution with the choices available until he finds Omra. She is dirty, stinks, tries to hide, and even bites him, so why would he pick her? Purity is a rare commodity and something a high commander would desire. There are unhanded dealings taking place at the BCF that will be uncovered.

Dak never intended for anything more than impregnating his breeder to produce him sons. What is it about Omra that captures his attention and derails his motives? Problems are brewing within the high order of command, and danger is lurking. The story is full of mystery, suspense, deceit, betrayal, danger, discoveries, intense passion, especially when engaging in forbidden acts, life and death moments, and even some spankings.

TERRAN

On Parseon, it is a man’s world, and women are property, used and when no longer needed, discarded, placed back into the Breeder Program. With Commander Dak and his work with Terra, and establishing an exchange where those from Earth can come and set up in a bazaar and sell goods, it will add a new challenge with Terra female, who are vulnerable, especially by those who consider an unclaimed woman as fair game. When Tara, who runs Tara Textiles, makes the error of leaving the bazaar's safety and is attacked by three betas, she will be rescued by Commander Marlix will set this tale into motion.

Under the order of Protocol, which is a unique order based on rank, status and allows Alpha men and beta men to join in a unit by anointment, it will also deem women as lesser beings. There are no marriages, and women are used as breeders to procreate but not have relationships. It is considered unacceptable for men to prefer women and would be questioned if the truth of some relationships were to come to light, like that between Commander Marlix and his anointed beta, Urazi. “To desire a female was the greatest taboo imaginable.” “Females existed on the fringe of society, usedâ€"abusedâ€"by the males.”

Marlix will go from rescuing Tara from her attackers to taking her to his abode, seeking medical attention for her, and then refusing to allow her to leave, becoming her captor and her his prisoner. When he knows that they will be looking for them, he devises a plan to disguise themselves of rank and title and to hide at the Enclave. Other secrets will come to light, and when it comes down to making planetary decisions, his vote will change, creating new enemies among those he had before joined forces. There will be new unrest, potential civil war among the various providences, and new alliances.

The plot will have die-hard Parseon leaders questioning the order of Protocol and realizing that maybe it is time for changes. It will not be received well by everyone but perhaps a new chapter for the people of Parseon. Can a Terran join with a Parseon Alpha? Tara has opened the eyes of Marlix to the physical and sexual relationship between a man and a woman. “She is the day to my night.” Problems are brewing within the high order of command, and danger is lurking. The story is full of mystery, suspense, deceit, betrayal, danger, new discoveries, intense passion, especially when engaging in forbidden acts, life and death moments, and even some spankings.

WARRIOR

On Parseon, it is a man’s world, and women are property, used for breeding, preferably to produce sons for Alphas, and can be discarded when the Alpha is done with them. There are no marriages, as on Terra, but instead, an Alpha male will have a male beta partner, and they enter into an anointed union. If the Alpha wishes to procreate, he will buy a breeder slave for that purpose. A breeder is also under the beta's authority, where he is free to use her anally for his pleasure.

While the planet Parseon is under the order of Protocol, war has become an issue, with Commanders Qalin and Artom trying to control the sectors of Commanders Dak, Marlix, and Illian. Marlix has made arrangements for his sires female, Anika, to become the breeder of Ilian. As a female, a breeder, she has no say or control over the matter. Anika has defied protocol already by being with a beta, Jernigan, and living at the Enclave; she is determined she will make her own way again.

With the help of Tara, the plot will have Anika leave Marlix compound and attempt to live on her own. She will encounter many obstacles, especially in the form of men who take what they want or try to. Uriza was beta and shared an anointed bond with Marlix, but they did not engage in the practice deemed by Protocol of a sexual relationship. It was also acceptable for them to hire a female and use her anally for their pleasure. Only an Alpha is allowed to procreate with a breeder female to produce offspring. When Anika flees, Uriza wants to go after her, especially when he learns that the enemy has a bounty on any of the Commanders or their household. When Marlix refuses his request, it will also cause Uriza to go rouge, which will become their story.

The tale is full of trials, hardships, dangers, and unpleasant atrocities of the war, the status of women, betas, and alphas. Both Anika and Uriza will be forced to take drastic measures to stay alive and head of danger. “The forbidden love they share becomes the biggest danger of all.” “Why could they not have the liberty to choose whomever they desired? Why was it considered perverse?”

For Anika, she knows that she must disguise herself, and changing her hair short like an Alpha, wearing colored contacts, binding her breast, and donning an Alpha’s clothing allows her freedom to move about. “The best place to hide was under the searcher’s nose.” Together, Anika and Uriza know that the only way to help save the people of Parseon is to topple Qalin, and they will have the most unlikely help in the end. “If we didn’t have misfortune, we wouldn’t have any fortune.”

In the end, it isn’t whether you are born male or female, prove to be Alpha or beta; it is that you have a desire for what is right and wrong. That each person is an individual and should not be judged by the sex they were born, or status in training, but by their worth as an individual. Anika may have been born a female, sent to a breeder facility, abused by men, but she proved she was a fighter for herself, for other women, and the future of Parseon. Rules sometimes must be broken for the greater good, and forbidden love is the greatest motive and reward.

NOTE: I previously read each of these stories separately. 737 Breeder - Parseon is a whole new planet where men are separated into Alpha and Beta designations, females are Breeders and the act of love is non-existent. Commander Dak's needs are simple: a breeder to have a child to further his lineage. But Omra is not what he expected. Will her presence in his life change everything? Will his beta be able to accept the new relationship? Will he be able to control his desires for the unworthy?

Terran - Tara's experience on Parseon is not all positive. While she meets Ramon (her fabulous assistant in gossip and textiles), and Omra (her first direct contact with Breeders), the assault she experiences by the Betas change her thinking about exploring new worlds. But Marlix's dominant ways, his passions unexplored and his punishments perceived, make for a dilemma. Will this simple human female merchant take on the Protocol that men follow? Will her desire for his authority allow her to conform to more alien ways than she expects?

Warrior - When the underdog becomes the hero of her own story, you know it will be strengthening. Anika, a lowly breeder who's status is even more diminished by her relationship with a deceased Beta male becomes determined to prove that she can live on her own. Her hurdles: the status ordained by Protocol, her brother who struggles with his own strange relationship, her lover who dreams of becoming more than Beta status and so doesn't feel powerful enough to hold her dominance. Will her relationship with Urazi survive the challenges she faces in overcoming status? Will Urazi's desire for more encompass the beautiful woman he wants as his own? Will the political upheaval that is tearing apart Parseon have any impact on their future? I love the entire Breeder series. I've read these books in the past and enjoyed everyone of of them. I'm so glad they are out in a box set now. All of them in one handy place. Breeder is a slightly darker, edgier read compared to some of Ms Bristol's other books. They deal with a society where there is a large disparity in class between men and women. Men are the ruling class while women are treated more like property and chattel. As the men in the Breeder books get to know the women they fall for, there's a shake up in the Parseon society as women fight for more rights and liberty. This entire series is an engaging read and well worth it.

The Breeder series is an intense science fiction romance about a violent society struggling with a caste system based on gender. It may contain triggers for some people. Each individual book ends with an HEA and no cliffhanger for the hero/heroine, but the final conclusion and HEA for the society and its women doesn’t occur until the end of Warrior, book three.
