She was meant to be the Emperor’s Bride, but this alien warrior is determined to keep her for himself, no matter who he has to defy.
Life on the mining planet Ionope has never been easy for Melora, but it’s about to get a whole lot worse. She’s the next of a cruel racketeer’s girls to be auctioned off to one of the filthy miners, and each passing day tightens the noose she feels closing in around her. Desperate for escape and losing hope, the universe seems to answer her prayers with the arrival of a savior in the form of a seven-foot-tall blue alien warrior who decides to abduct her from Ionope for his own reasons. Now she has to resist the blaze that ignites every time he touches her, especially since she’s now meant to become his Emperor’s Bride.
Find a Bride for the Emperor or face permanent exile from his home. The choice is clear for the Celestion warrior Aldris, and as luck would have it, he’s found the perfect woman- until the mating bond locks into place and he realizes he’s found his fated mate. Now he must make a terrible defy the laws of his beloved home planet Vassa IX and lose everything that makes him a Celestion, or ignore the bond entwining him with the one woman destined for him.
Either one could spell his end.

Oh my word! This book needs more readers and reviews. I enjoyed it immensely.
The world building in this was freaking top notch!!!! Im a sucker for that and it was DELIVERED. Hell even the side characters were great. [Riva is a freaking badass, easily my fav in the team] This is a big world with a map of planets, species, politics, a goddess, warriors, beastmen, possible impending doom... its AWESOME.
A book that hands you romance plus world building that doesn't only revolve around the couple, is my drug. Lol, Im sorry i cannot stop gushing about the lore.
The romance was sweet with a flare of sexy. I liked the main couple. They were good starters to kinda pull you into their universe. But i admit, i was more captivated by the Emperor and Aldris brother - Davon. ( ͡°з ͡°)
Im so excited to get to the emperors book. I sense Its gonna be a wild ride, and probably introduce us further into the world of celestions, their politics and their history.
Seriously, give this new series a chance.
The type of smut in this, i personally would rank as 2.5☆ out of 5☆. But i implore you to read it, since everyone has a different level of what they find erotic/steamy.
—>>> Soon due to star in a virgin auction, Melora’s next hurdle to further scratching out a life on her home planet is to get sold for a higher price than the last virgin. Her hopes of getting off-planet and away from the brass pole just went from super-ridiculously slim to nonexistent.
Traveling the outer planets on an Emperors’ Conquest to find a suitable bride, elite Celestion warrior Aldris has to land his ship to refuel on Ionope, an off-grid mining planet in the barbaric New Earth Sovereign Territory. The search for the woman who would rule Vassa IX at Emperor Elden’s side was determined to be the “The Rose of Ionope,” the next virgin up for bid at Red’s Cherry Bar, a seedy strip club full of savage human miners. A bargain is struck, for Melora refuses to leave her friend at the mercy of her relentless boss. Taking Melora, however, does not go as planned, and Aldris had to leave with only one woman in tow.
Unfortunately, for Alris’ quest, Melora was the one woman who raised this blue-skinned alien’s bloodlust, but he already has agreed to risk his crew and go against Vassa rules to rescue Melora’s friend. Torn between duty and honor, he is flooded with bloodlust when she is in danger, filled with a drive to protect and claim her.
Amazing sci-fi world and action/adventure romance, with hopefully many stories to come from this same series.
Tasked with finding his Emperor a bride, Celestion Aldris of the starship Nova sees Melora's picture in a Virginity for Sale Auction ad broadcasted over the galaxy airwaves. Intrigued, he heads to Ionope and abducts her willingly away from her awful boss Red Jim. Melora consents to being a candidate for the Emperor's Bride, although there is a strong connection to Aldris right from the start, a mating bond pull. A thwarted kidnapping by Red Jim's mercenaries leads to Melora being stolen off the Nova, right under his nose. Aldris vows to get his mate back. No more Emperor's Bride. A thrilling adventure with an alpha warrior and his all too human mate made this book a joy to read. I loved it!

She is working on an alien mining planet and her boss decides she should be auctioned off because she is a virgin. But a hot alpha alien thinks she will be the perfect bride for his emperor. But the mating bond kicks in for him and now he has to decide. Be exiled for keeping her or give her to the emperor. Great story and highly recommended.

This reads as a stand-alone but I think this would make a great launching pad for a series Nicely written story with moments of heat
There are some pretty detailed reviews on Amazon.com and Goodreads so if you want spoilers then take a peek at those while I am looking out for the next book by this author

Will Alderis choose between loyalty or the mating bond? Alderis and Mel are two unique backgrounds. This is an action packed story with not only great main characters, but with supporting characters that enhance the story.

I can't wait for the next book and I certainly can't believe this was the first book by this author! Melora and Aldris had their own mindsets but that didn't mean it set them apart. Riva was a great secondary character!!!
