Andon and Tarik of the Castir Clan have tried to lure a mate to their home on Kilara twice before. Tarik doesn’t want to risk his heart a third time, so Andon doesn’t tell him when he contracts with Galactic Nuptials for a wife from Earth.

With so much deception, can the three of them find love before Caleigh’s trial period runs out?

This was an interesting book. It is bordering between a 3 an 4 stars. The story happens rather quickly which is why I'm going with 3; the sex scenes however was the only parts not rushed.
Caleigh's brother forges papers and signs her up to be a space bride without her knowledge and a match has been found. Adron is looking for a mate for him and his brother and he picks. Caleigh- only he hasn't told his brother what he's done. Tarkin isn't too happy about the decision due to the last two attempts to find a mate. Caleigh isn't trilled about what Kevin has done but decides to go along with it since it will get them out of debt. The contact has a 3 month walk a way clause so Caleigh figures she can last that long. Then the unexpected happens...

Caleigh Davis is struggling to make a living for herself and teenage brother Kevin after the death of their mother but it's difficult. Things go from bad to worse when Kevin signs Caleigh up with Galactic Nuptialas to be a 'space bride' for a male on the planet Kilara.

Left with the decision to honor the contract or exposing her brother's deception, she agrees to travel to Kilara for the trial period with the intention to return to Earth afterwards.

Andon and his brother Tarik are farmers who need a female to mate with. After multiple attempts to lure eligible females fails, a decision is made to contract with Galactic Nuptialas for a bride from their catalog listing. What they don't share is that the bride, who thinks she'll be marrying ONE man, will actually have to agree to marry both.

This is a futuristic play on an arranged marriage premise. The setting, while being sci-fi futuristic, has more of a historical western pioneer feel. It was ok and I did enjoy things for the most part. I just didn't get any bells or whistle type feelings. Still, it is a promising series that I will definitely be grabbing the next installment of...

This book was just ok for me. The heroine Caleigh's brother signed her up to be a space bride in order to get the money. Although he's only 16 I found his behavior horrible and because of this, I could not feel a whole lot of affection for him in the end. The brothers are delightful enough, very predictable ménage twins (one loves you immediately, the other one doesn't). The book itself was just ok for me, however, it was interesting enough to make me consider the next book. i would only loan this book to my racy friends. the Church's knitting/prayer group would find the menage too racy-TTFN-Sandy

I first became aware of Missy Martine during a TRS party I now have most or her Books. Space Brides was a great story that I did not want to put down. The plot of the story kept you wondering what has going to happen from page one. As this is the first in a series I look forward to seeing a lot of the characters I met come into their own stories. Thank you Missy Martine for all the hours of great reading you have brought to me.

*3.5 stars*

this was a cute, quick read that was a little odd at first. trying to keep the planets and species straight got a bit confusing, but then I stopped putting so much stock into that an enjoyed the story. I thought that the story would have benefitted from a bit more development but overall thought it was a fun read.

I haven't read anything else by Missy Martine, but I liked the way this one ended so I think I will continue the series at some point.

I really enjoyed this story about Caleigh, Andon and Tarik. Caleigh's brother signed her up through Galactic Nuptials to get some money. Caleigh ended up falling in love with Andon and Tarik. She had to prove to Tarik that she would stick around. Andon and Tarik ended up helping Caleigh and her brother. I liked the neighbors and how they were willing to help.

2.5 stars

I enjoyed this book, but parts of it were a bit clunky and the plotline was messy, especially regarding the ultimate threat to their HEA.
