Summary
Cassandra Chamberlain has always stood out. It's hard not to at 6'1" and 165 pounds, with jet black hair and sapphire blue eyes. And if that isn't enough, she is also brilliant, graduating from Harvard at 15, teaching at MIT at 19, and up for the prestigious Magellan Award at 25. She's never really fit in. Not with her peers, not with her contemporaries, only with her family.
But everything changes when the Earth is attacked, and Cassandra and her niece, Victoria, are the only survivors. Suddenly the smartest woman on the planet has to relearn everything. Everything she's believed to be true is challenged, and she has to learn to survive, not only for herself but for Victoria, because someone wants them dead.
Admiral William Zafar is the youngest Admiral ever in the Coalition fleet, the hero of the Battle of Fayal. At 7'1", he's 325 pounds of Carinian male in his prime who is feared and respected throughout the fleet. He is a royal from the House of Protection, carrying its birthmark, and considers its king one of his oldest friends.
But when the Regulians destroy a previously unknown planet, leaving only two survivors, he finds he's willing to risk it all to protect the woman he loves from the Regulians and the Carinian traitor that wants her dead.

lovely
I like this author. The audible books have the same voices. Sometimes though they can be a bit lacking in emotion. But I love the books and it's a good listen.

4 stars probably for all the wrong reasons
I do a lot of brain work so "trashy" novels are my way of taking a brain vacation. This book was an epic vacation!
I'm pretty sure I laughed in all the wrong places. For example, every time the narrator had to cry, I was in stitches. My daughter does a better fake cry when she's trying to get her way. Maybe they meant to inject a bit of humour? I certainly took it that way.
I loved that our leading lady was the tour de force in this piece. She's smart, able to physically defend herself, and really family oriented. I mean she's so smart she did 5 PhDs before the age of 30 - pahahahaha! Maybe she was bored? The voice of Cassandra was a bit too pious and clipped for my taste there was enough intrigue in the story to keep me hooked on the story unfolding rather than the h's voice.
Not sure I would have laughed this much just reading the book but listening to it was a great! Loved the sexy rumble of Admiral Zafar's voice even if he was sometimes a hothead with boorish manners that made me roll my eyes, but I even enjoyed the eye rolling!
Of course, the key thing for me is that it all ends happily. I'm dealing with enough stress and uncertainty in real life, I don't need to look for more in a book. The HEA on this doesn't disappoint.
So yes, depending on your mood this is anywhere from a 3 to 5 star read. I'm heading for the next one!

Cassandras challenge
This was the longest audio book I've read sdsdo far. I loved the story and will definitely read this author again. I appreciated the sound effect's but they were also a bit overdone and districting, the long pauses and musdmusdic between chapter's especially so.

Pretty ok!
I enjoyed the story more than the performance. The actors seemed a bit disjointed but I enjoyed the story, subject matter and Cassandra's strength!

Great book
I have all this series so far in book form but this is the first audio books I have ever brought. I thought it was really great. I'm going to buy the rest of the series when they are out.

Loved this book
I have read Cassandra challenge and thought I'd try the audio book,although I knew the story I really enjoyed it .however i found the sound effects distracting the sound of footsteps 👣 etc I didn't need the sounds effects I have my own imagination .but still worthy of 5stars.

this was the first book
this was the first time that I bought a book from aurdable and loved it. I was surprised that that sound effects were included. and actors were acting out the book.
I have since found out that this is not the norm, I think that I was spoiled by it. other books just had one reader.
most of m k eidem books are acted out. I have crocheted and crossstitched while listening to the books many others too. it's been a good distraction for me as last year I broke two bones in my neck and fell down the stairs breaking seven in my spine, still not cleared yet. so a good distraction in all

Good story. Shame about the Narrators
If you could sum up Cassandra's Challenge in three words, what would they be?
Could be better.
What did you like best about this story?
The story line has a lot going for it.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The main narrator was fine, but the other actors - with the exception of the voice of William Zafar - showed no emotion in their rendition of their parts.
Any additional comments?
I would like to have this audiobook re-recorded with just one narrator, or at least another selection of "other voices",
