About this ebook

After two of her brothers are killed in battle with the relentless alien menace that threatens the entire Interstellar Coalition, Sarah Mills volunteers to join the fight in an effort to bring home her last surviving brother. When she is mistakenly processed as a bride rather than a soldier, however, she rejects the match. But her mate has other ideas…

Dax is an Atlan warlord, and like all the men of his race, a primal beast lurks within him, ready to emerge in the fury of battle or the heat of the mating fever. When he learns that his bride has chosen to fight on the front lines rather than share his bed, he sets out to track her down and take what the beast demands.

Sarah is none too pleased when a massive brute claiming to be her mate arrives suddenly in the midst of a battle, and her displeasure turns to fury when Dax’s presence disrupts her mission and leads to the capture of her brother. But after her commanding officer refuses to authorize a rescue mission, Sarah’s best hope of saving the only family she has left is to accept Dax’s offer to help, even if that means giving herself to him in return.

Though he is thrilled to have located his wayward bride, Dax quickly discovers that Sarah is nothing like the meek, submissive women of his world. If he wants her, he will have to tame her, with a firm hand applied to her bare bottom if necessary. But Dax doesn’t just want Sarah, he needs her. Can she satisfy the fearsome beast within him before he loses control completely?

Ratings and reviews

As much as I loved Nial's story(Taken by Her Mates), I am going to have to say that this one is my favorite in the series. Dax is our first Atlan mate (and hopefully, not the last) and we get to find out about their traits which are totally different from the Prillon, Viken, and Trion mates. Even though Sarah is a soldier, she was accidentally processed as a Bride before the mistake was discovered. This story is a little different as it takes place on the front lines of the Hive/Coalition War. The story flows so smoothly that I could not put the book down. The author does a fantastic job of giving us enough background on both main characters that you feel that you really get to know them. Loved both Dax and Sarah, they are perfectly matched (of course). I am looking forward to more books in this series. I still have my fingers crossed to see the stories for Warden Egara and the men from the Colony.

A touching story but I think it can be enjoyed by men and women. I'm grateful that the author is confident enough in her characters not to leave a cliff hanger at the end. That is one of my pet hates. So I was able to enjoy the book

I love all of Grace Goodwin"s books. I care for herMC as much as i care about the soldiers on the front lines against the Hive. the possibility of more stories in this arena will keep her writing for years. I want to know more about the Atlan home world, I want more of the bride processing center. we know that they process criminals and volunteers but how do the women find out about the choice. can anyone volunteer? If there was men on earth that could make women feel like this then the process would not work. we need more warriors on earth and men who can get past their egos to make women feel safe. that is the key thing in all the stories. women will never submit to men who can not make her feel safe. this writer gives us a plot to follow, A MC we can root for and an enemy to hate. good job, keep going.
