This is a great start to a new series. The story involves Esmay who signs up to be a bride to a Marttiaxoxalian warrior who then turns out to be Prince Vaath. The story tells of the hardships placed on the humans on Earth by these conquering warriors that causes young women to sign up to be brides in order to erase crippling debts that their families are facing. As Esmay and Vaath learn to care for each other there are behind the scene forces that want to tear them apart. Who these forces are comes as a surprise to Vaath when an attack is made on him and his new bride. It is a well written story that quickly becomes a love story. I would highly recommend it as a great read. Looking forward to a Rem’s story.

I absolutely enjoyed reading this outstanding Sci-Fi mail-order bride alien romance with an “enemies to lovers” undertone & it can be read as a standalone. I found the plot to be well-paced with good world building & fascinating to read with excellent, vivid descriptions of the Martian cultures & technologies. The characters are well-developed with individual personalities & portray realistic emotional feelings according to the current situation they find themselves in. There is good support from the secondary characters. There is: a young woman (Esmay) decides to become a mail-order bride in order to save her parents & siblings only to discover she is matched to a deadly blue-skinned warrior (Prince Vaarth) who led the battle against earth & the cause of her problems in the meanwhile Prince Vaarth is determined to win her heart but there is trouble on the horizon, humans, aliens, alien fertility issues, anti-human brides resistance/terrorists, action, adventure, drama, twists & turns, intrigue, suspense, deceit, betrayal, hatred, enemies, danger, threats, attacks, violence, conflict, discovery, distrust, emotional turmoil, friendship, loyalty, steamy scenes, contentment, love & a well-deserved satisfying conclusion. I would recommend this Sci-Fi alien romance & look forward to the next book in this series with great anticipation.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Earth is taken over from Martians. Esmay is the oldest of the her family so when she finds out that her family is in trouble she takes on herself to get them out of it. Esmay found this flyer about A Mail Order Bride to the Martians so she goes to the Martian Affairs build to see if she can be a Bride. They leaved Earth to go to Mars to meet their Mates. Now would be the time to get the book. I will be getting more from this author.
