About this ebook

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

Out of the fire…

Intergalactic thief, Olena Leyton is one of the best space pirates to sail the high skies. Adventure is in her blood. When her crew is scattered in a run from the law and her spaceship explodes into a ball of flames, she is forced to find sanctuary on a bride procurement ship. She poses as a willing mate to one of the males on the primitive alien planet of Qurilixen to elude the bounty hunters pursuing her.

But, marriage isn’t something this pirate takes seriously.

Into the flames…

Dragon-shifting Prince Yusef leads a simple life away from the royal palace. He knows from the first moment he sees his fiery temptress that he will possess her and make her his mate for all time. The prince soon learns that playing with fire will always leave a man burned.

With passions that surge as powerful as theirs, he is not willing to give up his bride without a fight.

Ratings and reviews

Olena, space pirate, is runnign for her life. She and her crew have spread to the winds and she has crashed and needs to get away from bounty hunters following her. The Galaxy Brides ship is the closest to hand to use for her getaway. She decides marrying someone for a few months whilst she lies low and searches for her crew is the best plam she can come up with. Yusef is one of the princes taking part in the bride selection process. He knows as soon as he sees Olena that she is his, and that with that fiery red hair she is going to be a handful. I love this series. Although all are seperate stories, the action overlaps at different points in each book, so you can read them out of order. I also loved Olena and Yusef together. They are quite playful, funny characters and the banter was easy between them. There is plenty of passion and Olena is not shy on acting on it. Olena was quicker to catch on that the princes are shifters, maybe because she was used to dealing with shifters on her crew. The book answered what the chastisement was from earlier books, which had been driving me mad!!! Olena never worked the ‘oh poor me’ routine, even when she could have done.

She is a pirate trying to find a way out of getting caught, while he is a shifter needing to find a wife. Olena is trying to manage being elusive with Yusef, but it seems to backfire on her because as much as she negates her feelings for him, her heart wins in the end. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Olena (h), a pirate captain, finds herself on a Galaxy Bride ship on her way to Qurilixen. Yusef (H), a dragon shifter prince, immediately realizes Olena is his fated mate. He has his hands full trying to convince the feisty woman that they're meant to be together. The two will face some challenges and drama as they get to know one another and ultimately reach their HEA. Hot and steamy sex scenes as usual :)
