Terminally ill bride candidate + an alien wolf in doctor's clothing = healing that lasts longer than a lifetime.
What can a Low Tier woman do when she's terminally ill?

He refuses to watch another woman he loves die.
Secret warrior Jaron came to Earth to study human medicine as a part of the Yadeshi-human treaty and exchange program. When Mila entered his office months ago, he realized she possessed the spirit of warrior and healer - and decided he would do everything to make sure she lived. Even against her will. Even if it means bonding her as his mate ... without her full knowledge. He's determined that when she finds out what he has done, she won't reject him.
But Mila is hiding secrets from Jaron.
A girl has to hedge her bets and even though he told her to stay away from the research facility hosting a sinister clinical trial ... well ... they pay. And the more money she can squirrel away for her mother once Mila dies, the better.
Except now they want to know why Mila is miraculously healing from a terminal illness ... they want to study the strange things happening to her DNA. They are willing to kidnap her to enforce her cooperation.
This is a steamy hot, science fiction romance for readers who love strong willed heroines and alpha male alien warriors. Perfect for your lunch break read. Standalone, HEA.

Mila is battling a terminal cancer. When she is given the chance to take part in medical trials and gain some credits she leaps at the chance. Her training at YETI is going well even though she cannot keep up with all of her class. Some of the instructors are giving her a hard time but Jaron is always there to take away the pain...sometimes literally!
Jaron maybe a warrior but he is also a healer. He has been a tad sneaky with Mila and he forges more than a doctor-patient bond with her but also sneakily allows her time to both mentally and physically draw closer to him of her own free will.
I really felt for Milas mother, her story was tragic and well delivered. Mila really was the adult in the relationship but I'm glad that her mu may also get a HEA! Jaron was a sneaky, sneaky alien and I loved him for it. Mila was way too stubborn and entrenched in her mindset to see him as anything as her healer.
I received an advance copy of this book in return for an honest review.

Book 2 brought on the intensity with fresh characters and more . . .
I found Mila to be strong, independent and highly difficult. She was a I can do kinda of girl even when her body was not willing to do. She found a friends and ally in both female, Gwen and alien, Jaron. They both provided her with the support that she needed. Her life was difficult and hard won. She has drama in her life with her mother instability both mentally and physically. Jaron found his mate. She just didn't know it yet. She would get the full effects of her mate soon enough right now it was her life that needed saving.
I got myself another good read with the second installment of Yadeshi Brides. On to the next. Again here there are issue with the dashes (-). What's up with that.

I did not like this heroine. At all. The book had, I think, a more complete plot than the first, and more time devoted to secondary characters, but I just couldn't get past my dislike for the heroine and her worthless, useless mother.

Jaron is everything Mila doesn't realize she needs
Mila's motives in joining the YETI training center are far more complex than they first appear, and Jaron is far more than one might expect, then again, it takes a special kind of person to be a healer among a warrior race.

Fun read, but ....so many typos
It's so distracting to read around typos. This little series was fun and a little sexy. But my God the typos...

This was another enjoyable book in the series. I liked Mila’s desire to take care of her mother, but the toxic co-dependency of that relationship frustrated me. I loved Jaron’s need to make sure that he never lost someone he cared for again, but I’m a little upset with him for the sneaky underhanded way he goes about it with Mila. I also really liked the slower burn and that we get to see the relationship between them as it develops. Though, I had a similar problem with this book as I did the first; there’s some very interesting stuff going on around the couple that I wish would have been developed further. It didn’t really answer any of the questions I had from the first book and has left me with even more now. The ending felt a bit unfinished. There are also a bunch of distracting typos in the text. However, the introduction to our next couple has left me very intrigued and I look forward to reading more about them.

Warrior's Vow Yadeshi Brides #2 by Emma Alisyn
Mila was possible dying of cancer and had to do something to secure a life for her mother. Her entire life had been taking care of her drug addicted mother. Knowing her mother's pain and mental condition she held no grudges but a dyeing human could not provide. When she learned of the Yadeshi Bride program she knew she had to try. If she died within the program her mother would be well provided for. The one thing Mila hadn't counted on was that a young doctor of the Yadeshi would see her as his future mate and he wasn't about to let her die. Fast moving story full of action and lots of heat kept me reading it once I started. I love this series.

Wow fantastic romance
Jaron is a alien doctor while Mila is the Low Tier mind influencer who needs to keep her power under wraps, however she is dying from cancer. She needs money for her mom after she is gone.
But Jaron doesn't intend his mate on dying though its killing him to woo her slowly. I love the strength of the characters because of the bond between alien and human, between friends, and between parent and child. The fast paced enjoyable book is a sexy romance that easily read in one day.
I highly recommended this book and the rest of the books in series with I will buy.

Great characters, great story!
This story gets deep into dysfunctional familial relationships, and the power of guilt. I loved the characters and their bitter resolve as well as for their hope for better. The story itself is well plotted, with a steady pace. There are some real jerks in this one that provided additional dramatic tension, so they served to keep the emotionalism amped up.

This is an alien romance about Mila who is very sick and Jaron who is her Yedeshi doctor currently providing her medical care while she is in training. At first, Mila doesn't realize some of the care Jaron is providing is bonding them together as mates. Add in a drug addicted mother and Mila's goal to take care of her mother financially after her death, and you get some action packed adventures. The reason I only rated the book a 3 is because of the number of typos and excessive use of hyphens.

twirl times two
Even though Mila is dying she wants to help her mother have a better life after she's gone. So she joins the YETI training troops where she meets Jaron her new doctor. Jaron knows there's something wrong with Mila but just cannot place his finger on it. Can he save her? Can she be the lover and wife he needs? a must read for all sci fi romance readers!

Shorter story than the first but just as good. Mila is ill but has been accepted into training with the Yadeshi Warriors. She struggles to keep the entirety of her illness from Jaron so that he doesn’t pity her. Jaron is determined to heal her by way of their mate bond. Will she accept him? Will he be able to keep her safe? Great story, fun characters.

This book was a great I loved every moment I read about Mila a human with cancer and Jaron an Yadeshi alien doctor who was determined to heal Mila. He also intended to make her his bond mate . Everything works for these two . The only thing is that this is a series and you need to continue the rest of the series to find out what happens to others mentioned in the book.

Off plot
This is the first one I read in this series and I was lost in the beginning. The whole plot felt forced and yet predictable. While I like the couple and the set up for the following couple, the emotional and medical conflict felt hashed together.

This is the a cone book by this author I have read and her story line is improving in the series. Its an independent book so you don't have to read the first one to understand what's going on.

Mila was sick from cancer when she met Jaron and she slowly was getting well. Unknown to her they were bonding and curing her at the same time. It took time to be fully bonded but it was worth it. Recommend this book and series

More lovely, detailed, well developed characters. Another piece to the alien puzzle. I can't wait to read the third installment.

Sassy heroine, sexy hero, romance, selfless love and sacrifice. And it all ends with a happily ever after. What's not to like.
