Celestial Mates: Romancing the Galaxy… #9

by Shea Malloy

My name is Rosie Fry and I don't believe in true love. In fact, anyone who believes in it oughta get a laser shot to the groin.

So when some green-headed demon pixie from the Celestial Mates dating agency tries to sell me on this crap about ‘fated mates’, I laugh. Uh, no thanks, lady. Especially not when my fated mate is an arrogant alien dragon shifter and at the top of my shit list.

I don’t give a damn if he’s as hot as the sun’s core, or that his amber eyes of liquid fire makes me melt every time he looks my way, or even that his sizzling touch rockets me outta this world.

I may be trapped on an alien planet with him as my only companion but I will not give in.

I will not fall in love with him.

Never.

About the author

I write steamy romances with themes I love to read: action, adventure, and a little humour amidst danger. My heroes are strong, protective, and sometimes grumpy. My heroines are brave, sweet, and sometimes a bit sassy. Stories where they bicker their way into bed are my jam.

My husband and I live in Canada with our two plump kitties. In my spare time, I like to doodle silly comics or dabble in web development.

Imo this needed an epilogue and justice for that hoe who took her work. Like also dragon babies but yeah. 4 stars is being a bit generous but i liked it more than the 3 star stuff of this series although it felt much less plot wise and much more meet banter bang story lol which i obviously dont mind in fact most times i prefer the basics rather than lots of plot and drama but i like this couple so it felt short and defs not less is more.

Short and fun I really enjoyed it. They get transported to an island they cannot escape by their case worker at celestial mates and she won't let them leave until the stubborn people accept the mating. It was funny, I laughed a few times but it could have been longer.

Sweet and mellow with a touch of spice

I really enjoyed this sweet story. Simple yet enjoyable. Something about finding mates or mates meeting is an enjoyable read and that's what I read here.
Garan the Dragon has known Rosie for years but they never saw this mate thing coming. Lol enjoy.

Never mesa with Leeka she wins

Garan and Rosie never stood a chance against the mischievious green haired little happy Lady determined to keep her track of happy mated couples! When forced to see the truth in the forcibly funny way they are both better for it in the end. Loved it.

Excellent!!!

Another great book in the Celestial Mates series. Rosie hates Garan and he is not sure why. Sparks got when they are dropped on a planet with two sins and have to survive.

dragons and humans,oh my

shifter stories kill me. every author has their own rules that the shifters have to follow and i sometimes get confused with how they act. i usually get straight before too long. really good story, too short though.

Great paranormal romance

I just finished reading this paranormal romance book and it was a great short read. The characters are interesting and I will definitely read more in this series.

A quick and easy read that I wish was longer! This short story had everything I needed. It has romance, bickering, crazy alien animals, and steamy sex!

What's up with the cut off ending? Otherwise an enjoyable albeit short dragon romp.

Sci-fi Alien Dragon Shifter Romance Celestial Mates
by Shea Malloy
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is a fantastic quick read. The storyline is humorous, interesting and engaging. The science fiction aspect of this was well done. You don't have to try to imagine what the other species that are on the planet looks like. Everything is detailed without being overwhelming, you can imagine yourself standing on the beach looking at this world, the sun heating the sand. I enjoyed the writing as much as I enjoyed the characters and the story. When Leeka, the matchmaker shows and tell them they are Fated mates! Well of course they aren't happy, there has been sexual tension between Rosie and Garan since they were in school together and now they are rivals in business. Each has been to busy to fine love so their family members signs them to Celestial Mates dating agency. They are trapped on a alien planet and they can't help but to burns up the pages whenever they are together. I really enjoyed reading this story!!! It was great! I loved the characters. The sexy scenes are explicit but it doesn't over power the storyline. This is a great read for me that had plenty of action and things to keep me entertained and involved in the storyline.

I found myself so connected to each and everyone one of the characters in some way. I felt their emotions just as they did. I feel everyone even those who don’t normally read Sci-fantasy will be sucked in by this story. And this amazing author, she is very talented. This another Exhilarating and humorous book. I absolutely adore reading this storyline it's exciting and entertaining. There is romance, passion, beautiful witch, gorgeous god like male hero and it's steamy hot sensual scenes. Sometimes its the simplest things that gives us pleasure. This is a great book to add to your TBR list. I highly recommend reading this book. I am voluntarily reviewing a book gifted to me by the author with no obligation.

If you believe in the world of romance, the possibilities are endless and fascinating!

Awesome sci-fi romance

This is the story of Garan, an alien dragon shifter, and Rosalind aka Rosie, a human with a wicked temper and a biting tongue. Rosie is awoken one day from sleep by a green fairy or demon as Rosie calls her named Leeka who congratulates her on being matched by Celestial Mates. Rosie who had no idea what she's talking about is understandably angry demands that Leeka leave now, then suddenly Rosie is whisked away to Garan's bedroom. Garan is angry that Rosie and Leeka are in his house and confused why Leeka keeps saying congratulations on being matched. Garan and Rosie went to college together for engineering and were rivals then and now. After Garan and Rosie both start complaining about being matched to the other, they are both taken to a deserted island on a distant planet. Now Rosie and Garan are stranded naked on this island with no way off and still wary but reluctantly attracted to each other. Rosie blames Garan for something that happened at their school and has hated him ever since while reluctantly enjoying his hot body and sexy face. Garan has enjoyed irritating the hell out of Rosie and thinks she's very attractive. This story is really funny, with lots of sexual tension, few sex scenes, and a plot straight from Lost. This short story is reminiscent of The Taming of the Shrew and Lost with a sexy alien dragon shifter. You will absolutely love this novel.

This is a quick fun read. If you've read the synopsis and you're familiar and on board with the concept of fated mates then you absolutely know what to expect but it's still an enjoyable read even though you know where it's headed. And, to my mind, nothing wrong with an inevitable Happy Ever After if the journey is entertaining.
It cracks along at a fair pace and though quite short, our couple are given enough characterisation to keep things engaging and fun.

I haven't actually read any other novels in the Celestial Mates series but I'll definitely investigate some of others if they're similiar to this - a nice way to spend a couple of hours in another world.

[Lory · Rating 4 out of 5]

A cute addition to the Celestial Mates Series. This fast paced story will take you on a adventure on how two stubborn people find love when they least expect it. Rosie who hell bend on not falling in love get a surprises of a lifetime. Overall a entertaining read. I voluntarily read and review this ARC I haven't been compensated in any way.

Very Good!

This story between Garan & Rosie was very good & in a way funny, the plot was good too; except there wasn't much is a sex scene (as it wasn't descriptive enough) though at least there was sex scenes. I'm definitely going to try & read more of the books in this series especially if Lee's is in them as she's annoying but cute in a way.

Celestial Mates has done it again, a book that you can't put down once you pick it up. Awesome storytelling and they are the best way to get some rest and relaxation. Don't miss them.

Great Heroine

This heroine is feisty, funny, smart, strong and can be cantankerous. I loved her. It's also nice to have a heroine who is not a blue-eyed blonde. I liked the hero as well. Cute story.

Yay!!!

I do wish there was living on other planets, man I wouldn't mind being a mate to a alien.. Took me a day to read this book..

Good

Love this read. I love Dragon Shifters. Celestial Mates stories can be funny at times, this one tickled my funny bone at times. Enjoy a read

[Kim · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hate, animosity & loathing makes a fun romance

This is about a match that starts with two people who hate each other. Threw out the story there is even animosity & loathing of each other. They learn to work as a team and discover lust as well. Crazy, weird read.
