Publisher's summary

When a potential threat against her life forces Eva Daily to seek shelter on another world, she has only one option available to her. She must offer herself to the Interstellar Bride Program. After a deeply humiliating assessment of her suitability, Eva will be assigned a mate and transported to his world to become his bride.

Upon arriving on the desert planet Trion, Eva soon learns that things are quite different than she is used to on Earth. Her assigned mate, the powerful, handsome High Councilor Tark, makes it clear that she will be expected to submit to him completely, and she quickly discovers that disobedience will earn her a painful, embarrassing spanking on her bare bottom.

An intimate examination from her new mate leaves Eva blushing crimson, but, to her surprise, Tark's mastery of her body arouses her beyond anything she could have ever imagined. Soon enough she finds herself naked, bound, and unable to resist the urge to beg for more as his skillful lovemaking brings her to one shattering climax after another.

It doesn't take long, however, for Eva to realize that there is much more to Tark than just a dominant brute who will not hesitate to take his misbehaving wife over his knee and redden her bare bottom thoroughly. But just as her passion for him begins to blossom into love, events back on Earth threaten to tear her away from him forever. Can Eva find a way to remain at Tark's side and in his bed, or will she be left with nothing but memories of the man who has claimed both her body and her heart?

I love it

Such a wonderful telling of this story. The Narrators were fantastic. I enjoyed every minute of this.

ready for book 2

sooo hot. I loved it. I can't wait for book 2. Definitely for mature audiences who don't mind a dominant in the bedroom

Great Interstellar Story!

Wow! the beginning of the story was very intense. The writer starts with a protocol that is the sexual claiming of a mate. Dominate male that expects and demands respect and when she fails to accomplish it a spanking occurs. The misunderstandings due to different cultural definitions are funny. 3 days and love forever. Wouldn't it be great if we could be mated/married to someone who is perfect! Very cool about the transportation. This is the first book by Grace Goodwin and will definitely not be the last.

This book kept me attached and I wanted more. There was the HEA in the end.

Quick Relationship

I was in the mood for a quick romance, and this book fulfilled that need. The only issue I had with the book were the questionable moments of consent. I know Eva tried was in a shock of her feelings and the way her body reacted and her thoughts. Trion is the alien that I did not expect, a lot of times the story paints the alien as semi emotionally available but still stubborn and strongheaded at the same time. I enjoyed the book, nice quick romance.

a must read/hear!!!

I love this book! I love this series!!!! I am glued to this series and look forward to hearing all of them! Great for couples!!!!

Love

I love seeing or hearing or reading whatever your term these women get the love, they desire, even if therefore is not particularly mine. The way this book is written you can still revel in her joy, and I hope you enjoy this series as much as I do.

A Great Start To The Series

I’m starting Book 17 in the series and I realized I’d never read Book 1. Now I know where Eva came into the series. You’ll enjoy the storyline. This book is fast moving but definitely not boring.

Awesome!!!

I enjoyed this book very much and I will let my sister's and friends know about this book, which very awesome to my to my thoughts. I will continue with this series which I enjoyed. Thanks

Short read, but does it's job

I don't like when romance novels try and take themselves too seriously or take forever to get to the sex. This book does none of that and give you exactly what you came for. Naughty thrills and a decent respect for your intelligence, that doesn't tax it. perfect in my book. might look up the rest of the series.

Wayyy too much internal monologue.

The heroin was constantly in her head. There is a speech for everything first 10 or so chapters dragged along because the story was barely moving forward. There needs to be a balance.
