Interstellar Brides Program #25
Royal Mate
A long-lost princess and the Insuri soldier who will do anything to protect her. Possess her. Claim her, body and soul.
One second I’m late-night scrubbing floors in the Interstellar Brides’ processing center, the next, I fall into the transport pool and am sent halfway across the galaxy to a world I didn’t even know existed.
Turns out, I’m the heir to an alien throne. Me, the klutzy cleaner from Earth. I don’t know how to be a queen. Or rule a planet. But I must. Custom dictates it and the future of Insuri depends on… me.
Dangerous enemies lurk. A forbidden love controls my heart. If I’m going to survive and save the planet, I’ll need every ounce of courage I have. And a little help from the sexy alien soldier.

I couldn’t put it down…
It all started with an accident which resulted in Paige being transported to Planet Insuri. An exciting new world, not part of the coalition. Her welcome isn’t very welcoming and it seems as though nor everyone is happy to see her…

Awesome
Ever wonder if it was possible to start out as a human who happens to be out on her own as a maid, scrubbing toilets, to the queen on a different planet with their very own mate she can’t get enough of. By sheer accident. Paige slipped in the processing center and ended up on a different planet, her planet. It is amazing how this story came to be, and how General Addan Natosi found his perfect woman. Right now the planet is in chaos with a horrible queen who took the throne through murder. Come to find out Paige is the daughter of the true queen, and now she has to face that. With the help of Addin she is going to get to the bottom of who murdered her mother and father and who stole her life from her. It took a little bit, but she was anxious to put things right and to bring the planet back to prosperity. It is such a good book and with the help from some familiar faces from previous books things turn so amazing. And the ending is just what it should be.

Ms. Goodwins best work yet!
As per usual, there was lots of adventure and sizzling spice. But the love story was so satisfying. Resonant, love it . And the idea of a female run world. Hmm? Don't you think Commander Zeus deserves his own match? I'm here for that match.
Ms. Goodwin is one of my favorite authors' for a reason. Her writing is so descriptive and the adventure is so crazy, fun. This series is full of incredible stories and the world is amazing. Start this series! You won't regret it.

A queen fell into a pool....
...at the Miami Interstellar Brides Processing Center, that began an adventure she would forever be grateful for. Waking up in the transport room of the planet Insuri, Paige found herself experiencing unfamiliar feelings, erotic urges she had never felt before. General Natosi, in charge of the transport station, was as confused as she was, experiencing similar emotions but responded as a normal Insuri male was expected to.
While Paige insisted she had been transported by mistake, the system refused to return her to Earth, stating that she was a citizen of Insuri. Her DNA matched that of the royal family.
This was a mystery that needed to be solved...and quickly. Was Paige the actual queen?
Deeply emotional. Hot. Highly recommended reading. Great series!

2⭐️ I’ve read every book in the Interstellar Bride’s Program. Usually these smutty little morsels are my pallet cleansers in between books and they aren’t awe-inspiring feats of writing but they are smutty and fun and silly-goofy. This book was odd and put of place and didn’t match the vibe of the 24 books before it. This one is also longer than the others before it. The MMC was two-dimensional, and the FMC only had hungry and horny in her corner. I feel the first traces of what I assume is a reading slump after reading this book. There was NOTHING WRONG with this book. I was just bored, and wanted this woman to rule on her own, no mate. If this were just an adventure novel with some spice in it, that would be lit but the “romance” felt sooooooo flat. Overall, meh.

A princess who thinks she's just a earth girl working 3 jobs to make ends meet. She ends up falling into the pool at the Miami Brides center and finds herself on the planet Insuri. Chaos, intrigue and instant attraction to her Resonant happen within a few days. Commander Zeus helps her clean out her enemies and she gets her happy ever after.
I loved this book. Even though we are 20+ books in this series this amazing author keeps the stories fresh, full of intrigue and Atlanta beasts, Prillon warriors and all the other wonderful aliens she has created. I highly recommend that you read this book and all that she has written.

Paige is cleaning the Miami Interstellar Bride's processing centre when all of a sudden she is transported to Insuri when she falls in the chair for bride testing. Turns out she's the lost princess of Insuri who has to get ready to rule despite her reluctance. With the help of an alien soldier she works at learning to rule and avoid the reason she was sent away in the first place. I couldn't put this book down! The characters were fascinating as was the new world we haven't heard of before. Another wonderful addition to the Interstellar Brides series!

A sensational love story with some suspense thrown in!! Paige was sent to Earth when she was a baby and her parents were murdered but she had no clue about all this!! I loved this story and how she accidentally triggered her return to her planet Insurian!! Loved her meeting General Addan and the instant connection between them!! The struggle to find the traitor and recapture the throne is a end of your seat read!! Highly recommend this book and all Grace Goodwin's books!! Grab your book today and enjoy her worlds!!

This is, by far, my favorite book of this author and I've read almost all of her books. Paige started out as a cleaner in the Interstellar Brides' processing center to becoming the Insuri Queen. What a ride! Addan is an Insuri general who, while Paige hid under his desk trying to escape an alien shooting at her, seems to have an affect on her that puzzles her and makes her want him like she has never wanted a male before. Lots of surprises, adventure, danger, steamy romance and a very happy ending!

OMG!!!
I can’t believe I’ve had this book in my library forever!!! I’ve been sleeping on this book! I’ve been passing it as I’ve been searching for something new to read!
The story moved fast but developed smoothly. I loved the heroine. The world she created was entirely unexpected, for me but I loved it. I wished I could’ve learned more about the customs of this planet. But whether you have read the other stories or not, this one is a must!
As a curvy earth girl, I approve this book!

‘Trust Me’ this is a fabulous new adventure in the series
I loved this adventure, a new planet to discover a secret royal identity and tragic betrayal to uncover. Paige ends up transported to Insuri and learns she’s actually the royal princess thought killed 25 years ago. She meets General Addan and her hormones go crazy with lust for the gorgeous alien.
Such an addictive storyline!

A promised mate for the Queen!
A cleaning woman working at the Earth Bride centre accidentally is sent to a planet after her having fallen into the transporter. There she is met by two guards, one whom tries to kill her. Running into the next room she meets a General who is in charge of this area. She informs him she needs to go back to Earth as it's all a big mistake being there.

Just perfect what I needed love it
I want to see more brides be sent to the new planet too!!! I loved this very much. It would be great if the few friends she actually had were actually part of her people, too. It would be interesting to see her friends volunteer to be brides and sent there also.

excellent
I picked this book up and considered how she would change the main storyline. Her books are good, but the storyline mostly is the same. Of course I do purchase them because I enjoy them. But she changed it a little. And in doing so made it even better. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series

Royal Mate
This book is a riot - the kind of story that has you giggling like a schoolgirl and wondering what delightfully devious twist is coming next. The characters are like old friends, evolving in the most hilariously unexpected ways and keeping you in stitches from start to finish.

I absolutely love Grace Good son's books. I'm so glad that I can now get them through Kindle Unlimited. I've missed quite a few because I haven't been able to buy them. This is another of her fascinating books that has characters and events that are so realistic, you feel that you are right there with them.

Suspense and True Bonding
Another suspenseful Who Done It. In this steamy thriller of Sci-fi perfection, I could hardly stand the suspense. I flew over the middle portion to make sure it would end in a satisfactory manner for me the romantic reader. It did and not only was Paige crowned but she mated to her proper Resonant.

Different for this series
This one is a little different for the Brides series. Paige is transported by accident, but it turns out to be to her own home world - something she had no clue about. The first man she meets, Addan, a luscious hunk of hotness, will turn out to be the help and help mate she needs to survive. Good story.

ok, Not Crazy About Alpha Female/Beta Male
I love GG. Her work is so fun and pure escapism. That said, this new world was not my favorite. I like my males Alpha. Maybe more world building will help me love it in the future.

I enjoyed how this book had a heroine, can't stand for weak women. If she was able to live on Earth without a man to save her why not in a different world!! Loved this story.

I can't stand a stupid heroine!
I'm a GG lover. I buy and read all her books, but never has a plot been so weak 😭
