About this ebook

Once mated, these shifters will do anything to protect the women they love!

An unlucky bride... 

Riona Grey lives life on her own terms, traveling wherever the next spaceship is flying and doing what she must to get by. When her luck turns sour, she finds herself on a bridal ship heading to a marriage ceremony. A planet of primitive shifters seeking mates wasn't exactly what she had in mind as a final destination.

Just when she thinks things couldn't possibly get worse, she wakes up months later in an isolation chamber with a sexy, hovering dragon shifter telling her they're meant to be together...forever.

The impatient groom... 

After years of failed marriage attempts at the festivals, fate finally revealed Lord Mirek's bride... a day too late. Eager to have her, the dragon-shifter nobleman defies tradition and lays claim. But it's a mistake to go against fate's plans and his new wife is the one to pay the price of his impatience.

Now almost a year later, his bride is finally waking from a deep sleep. He feels the eagerness to claim her overtaking him once more. Fearful she'll slip through his grasp, he's hesitant to anger the gods by taking her to his bed too soon. But, how can a man resist the one thing that would make his life complete, especially when she looks at him with eyes of a seductress?

This is a test he can't fail, and yet with one of her sweet kisses he knows he may already have lost.

Ratings and reviews

Riona (h) and Mirek’s story. After she comes out of her come, Mirek has to work to convince Riona they are meant to be and that she brings her own value and worth - it was great to see her put her knowledge and skills to use. Eventually her past will catch up with her and she and Mirek will have to work together to reach their HEA. Nicely wraps up the HEAs for all of the human-Draig couples with family love all around.

Riona comes with the other brides but gets one of the workers to let her get off the ship through a employee door so she can duck out of the bridal parade. This is one bride who has no intention of getting hitched!!! Mirek is sad at the thought of another year with no bride. When Riona sees a groom make off with her sister she chases after them. Mirek bumps into her whilst in his shifted form and she doesn't really flinch and his cyrstal glows. She is his!! He gets her to accept his tent for the night and they will sort things out in the morning. Little does she know what he has every intention of claiming her as his wife. In the morning after smashing Mireks crystal she heads to where she last saw her sister and putting her face in the "yellow" sleeping flowers and has an allergic reaction for several months. On waking she thinks her pirate buddy has caught upto her and wants the money she owes. She finds that she's married to Mirek, who has been caring for her all this time. She agrees to stay there until she can make money to leave and he offers to make her his assistant to help her pay her way. Whilst also trying to find ways to make her accept him as her husband. A brilliant conclusion to this 4 book story arc. We find out why Riona is so reckless and head strong and how alienated she feels amongst this close family unit of shifters and their wives.

When Riona Grey wakes up months later in an isolation chamber after being on a bridal ship heading to a marriage ceremony, it isn’t exactly what she had in mind. After years of failed marriage attempts, Lord Mirek's eagerness means a mistake and his new wife is the one to pay the price of his impatience. I loved these stories, and yet again Ms Pillow has written another wonderful tale with engaging characters. Just point me in the direction of the nearest Galaxy bride ship. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
