About this ebook

Caroline Jane (CJ) Ellison has a gift for analysis. When a Wall Street deal goes bad, the choice between prison or the Interstellar Brides Program is a no-brainer. She'll go. She'll leave Earth, her past, and her mistakes behind. The decision is logical, not emotional. Until she wakes up on another world with a huge Atlan Warlord, her matched mate, refusing to claim her.

Warlord Rezzer is contaminated. Weak. The Hive captured him and stole his soul, his very beast. A mate is out of the question when he can't become what he was born to be, a beast, her mate, her protector. Forced into the Brides Program testing against his will, Rezzer has no intention of claiming the beautiful, sassy female who arrives on the Colony. The Hive stole his beast, but not his honor. He vows to give her to another, a worthy male, a beast who is whole -- one not hunted by the Hive as part of a dangerous new experiment to win the war.

CJ takes one look at the wounded warrior before her and knows she will never be able to let him walk away. He's hers now, her perfect match. And if that means she has to seduce the beast or face off with the Hive to save him...that's exactly what she's going to do. She lived her life following the rules. With everything on the line, it's time to break them.

Ratings and reviews

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. What a great book! I loved this story and am always amazed at how each book and story is so different and unique with suspense and action and always filled with love tenderness and yes..... definitely hot sizzling sex to get you going. There is never a dull moment at all in your books and I mean that as well. In this book, we (the readers) are taken back to The Prillon Colony, base 3. Here we meet one of the most noble and yet tender Cyborg Atlan named Rezzer who feels so lost and worthless due to losing his beast while he was captured by the Hive. He does not ever believe that he is worthy to even have a mate. However, enter Caroline Jane (CJ) Ellison who is one strong, determined, resilient, former Wall Street Analyst will stop at nothing to claim Rezzer along with his hidden/lost beast. While the story definitely had the suspense, action, and great tantalizing moments of sex, (I had to fan myself a few times there. LOL) it was the tender moments of love, the thoughts and endearing words from Rezzer that truly won me over (with my heart as well). I loved that there were the other characters from Ms Goodwin's previous books such as Kiel, Rachel and her two Prillon mate's Maxim and Ryston along with Dr Surnen and others. This book was great however, once again we come to see that the mysterious Nexus 4 makes an appearance as Caroline is kidnapped and abducted (that is alll I am saying but you will have to read the book-it's so good and I do know that you all will not be disappointed). Again we get to know a tiny bit more of Nexus 4 but as always, my inquiring mind wants to know about this mysterious alien race and what do they have in common with the Hive or do they control of the Hive or are they a superior race of the Hive? This is definitely something to watch out for. I also want to say that I hope we are able to hear more about Denzel as he definitely is someone from Earth who I would like to hear more about. Rezzer, however stole my heart in the book and Caroline had me admiring her guts and determination. Never underestimate the power of a strong determined woman. Ever!! Also, if you love babies, you will love this book more. Although there is a baby or two in the past stories of The Interstellar Brides series, this was truly a debut for an appearance of a baby or more here in The Prillon Colony. If you know about the Prillon Colony and the Warriors/Soldiers there, than you will know why. Ms Goodwin, again, a huge toast to you for your ability and talent to always pull us in to your stories taking us to other worlds and Planets far, far away as well as being able to hear of some of our favorite characters from past books. Reading your books is always a favorite highlight for me each and every month. I will always continue to support you by buying your books for family and friends. A huge toast to you always! CLINK!!!!! 🍸🍷🍹🍻🥃

INTERSTELLAR MATE MATCHING PROTOCOLS While this book is part of a series, it reads well as a stand-alone. The Interstellar Brides program was designed to match up mates from Earth to Alien planets. The bride, Caroline “CJ” Ellison has two options, prison on earth, or mated to an Alien for her crime of insider trading. She will undergo a computer generated program that is designed to match her with the perfect mate. Warlord Rezzer is the Atlan version of the Incredible Hulk, with a beast who lives inside of him. But the problem is, his beast is silent since his last capture with The Hive. He can’t fight and doesn’t feel he can protect a mate and could be considered expendable. With the encouragement, which is a nice way of saying, you will do it, he will undergo testing and a mate is found on Earth. Now he must do the honorable thing, reject her so she can find a suitable mate. The plot will have CJ transported where she will meet Rezzer, but he does everything to reject her, telling her how the Hive has contaminated him, making him Weak and destroying his beast. He will allow her to be available to another mate. CJ has fought for everything she has had in life, in spite of the good ole boy club, and this only angers her that he is rejected her. Hell hath no fury than a woman scorned and she will bring out the beast in Rezzer, and that is exactly what happens. If they were picked to be perfect mates, she would demand nothing less than him as her mate. “I would claim her. Keep her. Never let her go. I would have her heart for my own. Heart. Body. Soul. She was mine. All of her.” “A mate was any female in the universe. You are one of a kind. Mine.” The journey that both Rezzer and Caroline travel will come with angst and passion. She has never been submissive but will be with him. Being a 6’1” female from earth, his over 7-foot stature will make her feel small, but always protected and cherished. Caroline can bring out the beast in the Warlord, and she craves both of them. “This wasn’t just sex. This was—a reckoning. A claiming. Something so unique and intimate.” “You are mine. I’m claiming you, and I’m not giving you up.” The story will take on life and death, and when Caroline is abducted the Hive doesn’t just want her, they want Rezzer, and any offspring produced. Will he be able to protect her or will the Hive control them? They destroyed his beast the last time he was captured, will Caroline be enough to keep his beast alive? “You are my heart, mate. It does not beat without you.” The story includes explicit sex scenes, D/s, kidnap and rescue, along with a great cast of characters in another Grace Goodwin Sci-fi romantic thriller. I look forward to seeing what she will write for us next.

I absolutely adore Grace Goodwin's Interstellar Brides series and all of the offshoots (the Colony, Rogue 5, the Virgins) and the best (in my opinion) are the Atlans. I love those big bad-ass beasts that can make even seasoned Coalition warriors nervous but can become giant teddy bears for the right woman. Rezz has been seen in the previous Colony books and each time he appeared, we were given new reasons to love this damaged warrior. Grace did an incredible job in bringing his story to life. His explanation for why they fight so hard for the Coalition was so heartbreakingly beautiful that Lindsey should include it in one (or all) of her Colony PR announcements, thus ensuring plenty of volunteer brides for the Colony. I believe Rezz has usurped Deek's place, as my favorite Atlan. Caroline may not be a scientist like Rachel or a law enforcement officer like Kristin but she is one strongly opinionated and goal orientated woman who knows what she wants and is not afraid to fight for it and she wants Rezz (beast or no beast). This story gives Rezz his mate but also expands upon the war with the Hive with a new and devious twist and updates us on some of the other Brides and Vets on Base 3. I could not put this story down (even though I love all of the Interstellar Brides stories, I can put down some of them). At first, I thought I would not like Caroline due to her greed but relocating to a new and different socioeconomic environment, she readily abandoned her previous ways. I won't say too much about Rezz (he is beyond expectations) but his willingness to give up his dream to protect her just shows that he is one awesome Atlan. If you are looking for absorbing stories with a little romance, a little intrigue, a little action, some heavy sex, and a boatload (OK - it's really planets full) of smoking hot alien warriors looking for THE ONE, grab this series and be prepared to ignore everything else (and in my case - get grumpy at each interruption) and enjoy! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and the author and am voluntarily leaving a review (I also purchased it because I really need Grace to write more Atlan stories and I need to see the Hive threat eliminated).
