The Galactic Dating Service ruined my desperate plan with three "Perfect Match Detected."
I needed Commander Kaelen's transport job to save my ship from repo—enough credits to finally get the debt collectors off my back. He was everything I honor-bound, disciplined, the kind of Xylosian who probably color-coded his underwear.
A 99.9% compatibility rating was the last thing I needed.
I tried to maintain professional distance. Impossible when he shared family recipes in my tiny galley, when he trusted my piloting through deadly dangers, when he looked at my chaotic life and saw competence instead of failure. The honor-bound commander was nothing like I expected.
But his crew watches our growing connection with cold disapproval.And now I'm transporting a mysterious prisoner whose secrets could ignite galactic war, falling for an alien who's making me question everything I believed about independence. I've built walls around my heart to survive in this cold galaxy.
He's making me want to tear them all down.
Mated by Mutiny is a sci-fi romance packed with witty banter, explosive action, and a slow burn that ignites into a supernova. It’s perfect for fans of forced proximity, competence porn, and heroes who fall first—and hard.†

This was a very good read. We got both leads perspectives and they were both thoughtful and we understood their motivations. Throwing the dating service in gave it a bit of lightness that was sorely needed with all of the politics going on with the aliens. It had a few good twists at the end and, of course, an HEA! I really wanted another chapter just to see what happened once they got back to reality! I highly recommend it!
