The Mate Index #2
The Edokas' Destiny
**please note that this book has a temporary cover I created. I am still waiting on the professional cover credited in my book, so I decided to use a temporary cover for the time being**
Destiny Delaine has had enough. As daughter of a former high ranking general who now served as the Ambassador of Earth, and a socialite mother, she has been reared to be the proper young woman and helpmate. Her parents had her life all planned out, right down to her arranged marriage with one of the planetary representatives under her father. No one asked her what she wanted.
Determined as too fat and too old at a curvy plus size age of thirty-four for the Mate Index, she decided to take her own destiny into her hands. She never expected that stowing away on a trade vessel would put her face to face with her mate. She is not impressed that it is the pervert she saw fucking a woman in an alley while making her big escape, but he is determined to show her the kind of mate he can be. Not only him, but two other brothers who would form a mated family unit, called a clannid, with her. They are sexy, sweet and viciously protective each in their own unique way. And she has never wanted anything more.
A’Jular is a trader known to be an aggressive male, one who doesn’t tip-toe around a problem, or feminine sensibilities, but goes for whatever he wants--whether that be a good quick fuck or a steady profit. What he and his brothers want more than anything, however, is a mate. When he is frozen out of the family accounts for trying to purchase mate-hunting rights from the Earth authorities, he thinks that his plans have been thwarted. Thankfully, the gods of love and pleasure are with him. He finds himself in possession of a stowaway. And not just any stowaway, but his mate which instantly triggers the maturation of his body from possessing juvenile to breeding sexual organs. To make matters complicated, their mate is feisty, independent, and thinks he is a pervert. He is determined for her to see that even a male such as he can be so, so good.
Sha’melor is the eldest hatch-mate between himself and his two brothers. This meant he was landed with all the responsibility and pressure. As a member of the Council of Clans, and ambassador on behalf of the Clans for the Intergalactic Union, he has more responsibility than one male could want. Enough to attract every power-hungry unmated female of the upper-clans. With a mother desperate for him to find a good match and sire hatchlings, he is relieved when A’Jular reports that he has found their mate and successfully matured for. He is instantly relieved of one huge burden, and looks forward to the embrace of a offworlder mate who won’t care who is among the clans, but will just love him for who he is. When he meets her, he is determined to do anything, fight anyone, to keep her.
E’budar is the laid back, friendly part of their clannid, and as it happens--the family trouble-maker. He doesn’t do it intentionally, his history amorous pursuits just seem to follow him like a bad smell, usually accompanied with very angry females due to one misunderstanding or another. It seems like his brothers are always having to bail him out of trouble. What he needs and wants more than anything in the world is a mate. The one female not threatening his cock, or life. Not that he distinguishes much between the two. He wants a female to dote on, to love, who won’t sneer at his affectionate gestures or silly jokes. And he dreams of having hatchlings running through the nest. What more could a male want? When he sees his mate, it is love at first sight. He would give up any object, any dream, just to have her at his side and make their clannid whole.

My favourite so far from this series. We were previously introduced to A’Jular in the first book and he did fascinate me especially when it was explained how the Edokora are born in egg clutches and each of the males from a clutch then forms a clannid sharing one female mate between them. They recognise this mate by scent and It also takes the whole of the Clannid for them then to conceive.
So all of the setup and expectations here made this feel much more polyamory than reverse harem also the mate circle is always formed of a clutch of brothers who share a nest so there is that initial sense of family that heavily saturates this.
Destiny who is the daughter of Earth's Ambassador wants to escape her reality on earth. Initially rejected for the mate's index she decides her only other option is to escape into space by stowing away on a trading vessel. What she didn’t expect was the vessel she chose to belong to the perverted alien she witnessed engaging in certain sexy acts on the docks.
A’jular returning from a routine trade run didn’t expect to find a human female to be hitching a ride into space amongst his cargo. Feeling out of sorts like he’s coming down with something and unusually drawn in by her scent which smells divine he doesn’t catch on right away. He grumpily agrees to provide passage for pay and it’s only later when certain pieces of his anatomy are affected that he realises that Destiny is in fact their mate. Now he’ll have to backpedal as his first impression was definitely atrocious.
Sha’melor and E’budar his clutch mates are equally excited to meet and interact with their future mate and I did love how different each male here was. They were all very distinct with such separate characteristics but also so close they were a tight-knit unit and I adored their whole family dynamic brotherly squabbling and all.
I also really liked destiny I especially liked that she wasn’t a cliche of the perfect female. I liked that she was unique a plus size and that she had insecurities. It was wonderful to see her open up and be appreciated for who she was and the change in her self esteem as this progresses was obvious The fact that she was so cherished and adored by her mates was beautiful.
This turned out to be such an imaginative read it was well written and so very emotive. I especially appreciated the two provided epilogues they really were the icing on this and I definitely recommend reading this series if you like sci-fi romance. Finally, even though this is a stand-alone read there is stuff that crops up here that may not be fully understood if you haven’t read the previous book in the series so personally, I’d suggest reading that first.

This is technically Book 2 (whereas Hearts of Indesh is a long novella, having been relegated the dubious distinction of being #1.5) of SJ Sanders' Mate Index series. I was highly intrigued and satisfied by this new universe the author has painted for us readers, thinking of critters I haven't thought of. And me, being one of two biologists in the family, really could sink my claws into this new biosphere of lovely species, especially considering the time and effort to conceive a means of a human female to give birth to eggs. Though I need to remind Ms. Sanders that the egg sac is literally a gigantic, all-inclusive placenta developed strictly from what I could imagine comes strictly from multi potential cells within the spermatozoa of all three of these interesting Edoka mates now bonded to Destiny, our feisty, full-figured female. (Not umbilical cords connecting directly into the uterine wall. The human placenta is all-baby, not mother. That’s why human mothers DO NOT reabsorb fetūs! That’s the other twin’s job!) After all, we humans have our maternal mitochondrial contribution by which we can trace genealogical lines more accurately with, so I can get into this–
Excuse me. This is what happens when the scientific part of my brain is hooked.
I really liked this story. In fact, in the time that it's taken for me to finally do this review, I've read it three times! The first time just to continue on my accelerated read-through of all three books because I just couldn't stop. The second time to read what I might have haphazardly missed in the first read. The third to get even more persnickety as if I was a copyeditor with an ugly red pen, looking for grammar problems and continuity issues, etc.
All right. So Earth, as the new kid on the block, isn't playing nice. Somehow, I figured that this would be the case as described by the writer, especially in the previous two books. Leave it to a male-dominated world to sell their females with hopes of getting a bigger, badder gun. (Which is essentially what would have led to eventually.) No wonder women would be rushing to go off-planet like rats jumping off ship even though it would be strictly illegal. I know SJ Sanders isn't trying to be a flaming feminist. Far from it. In the best means to determine which way a plot is to go, she followed the path of least resistance just like the flow of water. Earth would treat their females like money to be made, especially if Earth women could be genetically compatible with so many races. What makes me wonder is why would races that are far more accelerated than ours find themselves with less and less females being born to perpetuate the species? Because, from what is minimally mentioned, there are more than one race having this issue. (Not that SJ would have to explain it. It’s just how my brain works when the electricity goes out temporarily because I have nothing else better to do.)
Yes, we do meet A'Jular as well as both his brothers who are equally enchanting. I do appreciate that Ms. Sanders avoids my list of pet peeves when it comes to reverse harems. (We need a better word than this one!!) Unlike human males who are NOT genetically geared to tolerate polyandry, the Edoka males from the same hatching bond with one, specific, genetically compatible female. Now I may not have read absolutely every book about alien mates so far offered by Amazon, at least I can say I haven't run across this concept yet. (Give me time, I'm sure.) It was a pleasant surprise as it allowed me to really suspend my disbelief which, as previously mentioned, is difficult to do with this subject. But I was hooked on these three Edoka brothers, especially on how different they were within their clannid, especially how Ms. Sanders presented them. I greatly appreciated Destiny's character in that she didn't quite fall into the usual cliché-ish template I've seen many writers trip over. (If I had, I'd probably would have stopped reading this book rather than reread it three times!)
I appreciate the continued, strained relationship between Earth and the Intergalactic Union, and yes, it IS a soap opera. I am not surprised that its first ambassador would be one of military background, especially the US. Worse, Destiny is this ambassador's only child. And this is the ambassador that made an ass of himself in Volume #1 who equated mateship with an extraterrestrial (from Earth's point of view) to that of bestiality. Yeah. Great way to introduce us to the neighborhood, guy! (Read the author's notes at the very end of this book! She reveals that the new ambassador replacing... Oops! No spoilers, folks. You better read it for yourself...)
Anyway, I'm still a little bruised by the flagrant use of Earth colloquialisms by offworlders. Come on, SJ!! I doubt that Edoka "dial" the communications code of the individual they wish to talk to. That's an Alexander Graham Bell thing! I still wish she had taken a little more time with her extraterrestrial linguistics. Not that she has to go JRR Tolkien on us, but even the cursory curses could be a little original. But I can understand having two hells – one of fire and the other of ice. Even Dante made such a delineation.
This was an excellent read, and it is definitely worth the purchase. I just might read it all over again – along with 1.0 and 1.5 – when the next in the series comes out. But I do warn that though the stories center around new characters, the background still necessitates reading the previous two books just to understand what is going on in this book.

DNF at 54mins into the 6hr45min audiobook.
The heroine, Destiny, sees one of the three H's (A’Jular) fucking a random woman in an alleyway while on her way to hitch a ride on a spaceship to get off the planet. I would not have minded so much if it was just alluded to or if A’Jular relayed it to his brothers but for the heroine herself to see him in the act... very distasteful to me when I wasn't prepared for a dark element to this sci-fi romance. I was expecting it to be 'fluffier' I suppose. I know some people won't care as it's not like Destiny and A’Jular had even met at this point or interacted at all so it's not like he was cheating or anything.
Thing is, I just finished one of S.J. Sanders' newer books (Classified Planet: Turongal) and enjoyed it a lot, especially with how devoted and faithful the H was so this wasn't what I was expecting from her! It threw me off a little.

The Edokas Destiny by S.J. Sanders was such an enjoyable read! I really loved the world-building—it felt unique, vivid, and easy to slip into without ever being overwhelming. The characters were engaging and kept me invested throughout, and the writing style struck that perfect balance of being easy to follow while still feeling immersive and to the point.
If you’re looking for an alien romance with a well-developed setting and characters you actually care about, this one is worth picking up. It kept me turning the pages, and I’m definitely curious to see where the series goes .

Not anything particularly worth reading. I've read a lot of Sanders' books and while the ideas are often unique and interesting, the execution is usually lacking. That was the case here. The ideas had potential but the shallow characters and boring romance and mediocre writing left me feeling blah about the whole story.
💫 The love interests had their moments of being charming. Their easy banter and playful dynamics were fun to read. I would have liked to see more of that rather than... everything else.
💫 The romance was straightforward and cute enough if you like insta lust and insta love and can tolerate a lot of... mediocrity.
💫 Interesting world building. There was potential here for something really unique.
⛔️ Destiny was the worst. This girl does not have a single brain cell in her head. I get that she is written as a stereotypical protagonist with low self-esteem because of past trauma, so she will have issues and act like an idiot sometimes. That is fine. She can do that if she wants. I don't have to like her though and I didn't.
⛔️ Destiny was the worst point number two. The rampant slut shaming and the "inner s-x kitten" sh-t can go f--k off. That was annoying to read.
⛔️ The writing is so bad. Reading the awful technical writing was almost like a brain exercise. I was fixing sentences while I was readinglike that wasn't majorly distracting. As one of Sanders' earlier books, the writing quality was abysmal and in serious need of an editor.
⛔️ Destiny went immediately from hating to wanting to f--k him in a few pages. It was like romance whiplash. This is bad writing.
⛔️ The s-x writing was unintentionally hilarious and so bad. Never use words like "orbs" and "weeping slit" while writing about the horizontal tango 😭 Just no. No no no.
The nature and farm analogies using words like "frond" and "plowing" to describe the mechanics of what was happening... Like why? Also please stop. I couldn't stop laughing. This was like the most uns-xiest writing I've ever read for a s-x scene 😂
⛔️ Destinywas the worst point number three physically abuses one of the love interests and it is entirely excused.
⛔️ The romance was so dull and lacking in any chemistry. I had zero interest in the romance and that is a major failure for a f--king romance book.
I like Sanders' books. There is so much potential. When it is good, it is really good. BUT when it is bad, it is truly horrendous unlike anything I could ever imagine. This was one of Sanders' not-so-great books. I'll keep reading and just hope the next is better.

This was another intriguing alien paranormal romance and SJ Sanders gets better as she writes (but obviously I enjoyed the first book of hers I picked up or else I wouldn't now be vested in a series). The book numbering is confusing because Goodreads and Sanders' listings don't match, but that's just semantics. Each Mate Index is generally stand alone with small exceptions. I definitely give SJ kudos for having a vivid imagination on what the many aliens could look like out there (and how they may be compatible with humans!). I also enjoy how many times women's rights are subjugated by imbecile males, but then the heroine ends up being strong and sassy. Onto the next!

This was a good read. I love how it was different from other sci-fi books I’ve read. All the males were so loving and sexy. I will have to read other books by this author! Give her a try if you haven’t yet.

3.5 stars
Much better than the previous books in the series that I’ve read so far. I had a bad moment at the beginning when the heroine first sees the hero while he’s screwing another woman in a back alley 🤦♀️ but it did improve significantly 😅

4.5 Stars
This is my favorite of the three books in the series so far. All of the characters have distinct and varied personalities. We have met one of the main Edoka males in the first book. Along with one of the brothers. The third brother, female mate, & rest of the characters are new to this book.There is mention & some slight interaction with previous characters from book one. It is not necessary to have read the other books to understand & love/like this one. Though for having some continuity it might be preferable to most readers.
This one was a joy to read. I loved the story & characters. I will definitely check out more books in this series. My reasons for not giving it a full 5 stars are there are some mixed up wordings in a few places. You can tell it was probably an autocorrect issue. There are few of them. Also this book is written from different perspectives. It's always one of the four main characters, but it can get a little confusing. At times I would have to read part of a paragraph again after I figured out which one was speaking. It would be better if that transition was noted somehow or the perspective shifted at the beginning of each chapter. Like the four main characters traded off repeatedly telling the story. These are the only issues I had with the book, but it's just my opinion. Others may have no issues with these. I definitely recommend this one though.
As noted this is told in multiple perspectives & is part of a series. Though can be read as a stand alone. It is first and foremost a love/romance story. There is some adventure, tension, upsetting moments, really happy moments, a slight mystery, & lots of sexy times. The author is very descriptive in her writing. You get a vivid image of the characters, places, & scenes in your mind. She does a good job during the sex scenes as well. Since there are three males & one female it could have been hard to figure out what was going on in those scenes. There are some words that are spoken in the Edoka language. There is a glossary of terms at the end of the book describing those. Though the characters usually explain what the words mean at some point in the story. So it's easy to understand & follow along.
I did really like this book & definitely recommend it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

As noted this is told in multiple perspectives & is part of a series. Though can be read as a stand alone. It is first and foremost a love/romance story. There is some adventure, tension, upsetting moments, really happy moments, a slight mystery, & lots of sexy times. The author is very descriptive in her writing. You get a vivid image of the characters, places, & scenes in your mind. She does a good job during the sex scenes as well. Since there are three males & one female it could have been hard to figure out what was going on in those scenes. There are some words that are spoken in the Edoka language. There is a glossary of terms at the end of the book describing those. Though the characters usually explain what the words mean at some point in the story. So it's easy to understand & follow along.
I did really like this book & definitely recommend it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Another great entry to a fun,sexy series💖
This is a book I've been looking forward to reading since A’Jular character was introduced in the first book. A’Jular is the Edoka trader from the first book. He and his brothers form a clandid and when the time comes will share a mate. The Edokas brothers have been looking for a mate for a long time A'Jular is making a trade run to Earth while there a woman sneaks aboard his ship and his life and the life of his brothers E’budar and Sha’melor will never be the same again. Destiny is the daughter of the general of the Earth delegation. She grew up in a cold house with a socialite mother and thoughtless domineering father. She finally can't take anymore her parents are pushing her to marry the man her father chose for her so one night she hears down to the space rocks and shows away on a ship. She has no idea just how much her life is going to change. When A'Jular finds her he realizes that by some sort of accident or divine intervention he has found the mate for him and his brothers. It's a bit of a rough start with a few misunderstandings, and some dangerous adventures until they settle in as a whole family on Edoka. I want sure how much I as going to like reading about 3 brothers and their mate but it truly worked each person brought something special to the relationship and it was sexy, passionate and a wonderful read. There were twists and turns as all of them settle into their mating as well as unexpected appearances from some people from Destiny 's past. Well worth the read. Looking forward to reading more⭐💖💖💖💖

I liked the story, but the pile of misfortune falling on the main characters was a bit much ;)
Destiny was a daughter of the Earth Ambassador, yep, the asshole who said in the first book that the women who mated VaDorok are committing bestiality. No wonder Destiny was trying to move out of Daddy's reach of influence and escape a marriage with his assistant. She went with her best friend Reggie to the space docks, saw a huge, scaly alien fuck a woman in an alley, and hid in one of the spaceships to hitch a ride off the planet. When an hour later the huge, scaly fucker found her in his cargo hold and grabbed her, she maced the pervert in the face ;)
A'Jular seemed like such a smart, brave and dangerous guy in the VaDorok, yet here he was an ass and almost as big of an idiot as his younger brother. He was lucky that his pheromones were working on Destiny, because I don't think she would be amenable to mate with a guy like that without it. E'budar was cute and fun, but holly hell, he was the biggest idiot in the universe. Destiny shouldn't throw things at him after the whole sexting fiasco, but I would probably storm off too. Sha'melor was amazing and I was sorry for him whenever his crazy brothers did some stupid shit. He was such a smart, nice and caring guy. He didn't deserve all the shit his brothers brought on him ;)
I liked the story, but it felt a bit heavy when after dealing with some shady shit from Earth they were attacked, Destiny's father demanded her back and then the whole infertility scare. I was thinking: S.J. give them a fucking break, they had enough worries already!

Hum
This was a very short read, and had lots of potential... buuuut... the MC was very? Insecure? Not in a cute, let's bring your confidence up way.
Also, I really dislike when the infertility problem is brought up, just so it could be dismissed by the end. She was infertile, but the 1st time they tried to have babies they were able to get pregnant? Like, this is a sensitive very real topic, and I'm not asking for every book that touches on it to treat it as if it was the main message of the story, but if the mc is infertile and you really want them to have kids, either bring up adoption, or have a time skip at the end where she gets pregnant and its the biggest most unexpected thing that has ever happened because they weren't even trying at that point.
It not something I feel really strongly about, but I do feel strong enough to be bothered by it.
And I repeat again, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN SO FLUFFY BUT IT WASSSNNNT
And someone tell the mc that her mates having had sex with other women before they even knew of her existence is not cheating and should not leave a sour taste in her mouth. She didn't say it was cheating. But you could totally tell that to her that was a huge deal. Like bitch chill. They haven't even spoken a word to anybody else since they've met you. The only reason she dismissed their previous partners is because they are biologically unable to get hard for anyone else. That screams insecurity, lack of trust and honestly some possessiveness that I can't say I appreciate.

I still like this series
Ok, I’m three books in, the editing still needs another run through. I very much suggest a fresh pair of eyes, but it’s getting less bad. I still like the stories and the men. I like the world building, and I’m hopeful Earth is taking some steps toward being a better galactic neighbor.
So, I’ve covered the basics, I just want to say one more thing. This series has given me some laugh out loud moments, and some cringey ones.

A fast read and Interesting hookup of a human female Destiny Delaine the daughter of a high ranking soldier who is an Earth Ambassador and 3 males A’Jular, Sha’melor, and E’budar from the Edoka-a species of reptilian humanoids who are natives of Edokora. When Destiny stows away on A’Jular’s vessel after she sees him in a risqué situation she triggers their mating. They use their tails for purpose of mating, moving in their environment and for defense. They are physically adapted to living along the sheer cliffs of the isles that cover their watery expanse of their planet. Edoka society is organized into clans which are ran by a council. Each clan is made up of clannids, smaller family units consisting of all brothers born from a clutch with their female. Due to their genetic oddity, males must mate and breed cooperatively with their clutch brothers. and becomes their central object of desire. But as it is illegal for Earth women to leave Earth there may be two consequences. Lots of alien sex and a story line that celebrates their BBW mate.

it’s alright.
So I do like this book but I did not like Destiny’s character- she was just a giant baby in my opinion. Holding over her mates heads of they’re passed interactions with women. She is bitter from whatever previous hurt she endured from passed relationships and is taking it out on her mates. Which isn’t cool, she is insecure but is trying to come off as this strong independent women- which is not the case. This is not a women to look up to. She comes off as this toddler stomping her feet and doesn’t even apologize for stowing away on his ship. She has a sense of entitlement. Just a lot of unnecessary drama. Her mates just worship her and she’s a brat. This is not something to admire. Anyway the Edoka mates were just really well written characters. I liked that they each had their own personalities that didn’t become bland and disappear when they were finally all together with theyre mate destiny. Over all it was still a fun read even if I hated destiny.

2.5/5
Much better than the last but still not great.
Very high value on fertility and mating. She was kinda just a brood mare. Idk. It was fine. I liked the MMCs more in this one for sure. They were funny and has distinct personalities. The conflict was overly simplified and didn’t follow real logic (why would the general ever try to cause an environmental disaster to get back at Ekora (the planet) instead of just barring them from earth interactions? Why get the big feathered guys involved if you knew you lied? Why send a whole fleet to retrieve the daughter you barely want? None of it made sense). And it was so easily wrapped up. She was like “you lied” and then without any proof they got sent to an international jail? Okay. Sure.
Aliens. Lizard mates. Fated mates MFMM. DP anal. Brothers. Breeding. Pregnancy. Birth (of 5 eggs, 2 boys, 3 girls). Kinda OMD (she was engaged) and some OWD (the youngest brother had previously sent nudes and the middle brother met his mate while fucking some other human woman). No cheating. No breakup.

Felt incomplete
I love the world building and characters, the writing style is easy to follow and to the point, BUT...this doesn’t feel like a complete story. Like the end happened but it felt like there were pieces missing; for instance, the issue with the peoples of the plant Destiny and Adjular crashed into was foreshadowed but then magically disappeared until the final showdown. And somehow all those troubles magically resolved behind the scenes. Why not show the diplomacy Shamelor is so good at by outplotting the Earth Ambassador or at least how he manipulated his way on the planet and off without incident.
And the ‘antagonist’ wasn’t really well planned out - villain in namesake just for the sake of needing a villain, motivations unclear and really no benefit to the moves he was making.
I just felt this could have been more. More story, more climax, more depth, just more.

*WARNING* contains explicit sexual content
Destiny is the only child of the Ambassador of Earth. Destiny is 32, overweight and being told who to marry to help her father's political career. Destiny just wants travel the galaxies, paint, but she was told no. Well, Destiny isn't taking no for an answer this time.
Edokas' are not a pretty species. Edoka's can't use the mating index like others and they have a little catch even if they find a mate.
The editing needs a little work, but a really great story. There's enough would building to make the Edoka'a planet beautiful. Sander's is very descriptive and imaginative, the thing with male organ was equally gross and funny. In this story the aliens and the earthling were essentially struggling or wanting the same thing, acceptance. The Edokas' Destiny was a steamy SFR with all the feels.

Third in series. This is A’s story the Edoka trader (that we met in book one) and his best-mate (brothers story)
A, calling at earth to hopefully gain a bride and some wares. A finds himself with an unexpected passenger. Destiny is sick of earth, her father and her fiancé... looking to escape she sneaks aboard a spaceship.
I really enjoyed this story, the three brothers were a wonderful match for destiny, I liked that they were uniquely different characters and the need for all three to bond as part of their family was a great touch. It also led to some pretty fantastic Alien rumpus 🙌🏻💯.
As always this book has wet my appetite for more from this author and I’m off to read the next book!

Sha'melor, and E'buderIntriguing alien romance with a human called Destiny
Destiny a and to escaped her father and earth to become an artist. She meets A'Jular who is the pilot of the spaceship she stow away on. The crash landed on another planet trying to escape space pirates. She is not sure about A'Jular, but finding out that she is mate, and his two brothers. Is she ready to be mates to A'Jular, Sha'melor, and E'burar?
The characters are funny, feisty, intriguing, and delightful. The fast page d erotica drama has an unusual twist. The clannid is a reverse harem story but has a mystery and usually sexual organs for the Edoka's males. I like the author's imagination in the fascinating story. Highly recommended.

REALLY TRUELEY A GREAT STORY
Love this book because the author knows how to tell an engrossing story that holds your interest and endears the characters to you.
Destiny, Sha'melo, A'jular and E'bodar are on a journey together and the author managed to make every one of them unique and special. She masters the surrounding alien world as well. I LOVE A BOOK I CAN SEE IN MY MIND. Thank You for the ride. Only issue I've noticed with this series is that it could use some fine tuning in the editing department. It did not effect the telling of the story at all. On to#4 Woo Hoo. DanaLynn

The dynamic between A'jular and Destiny put me off at first but I understand that the author was trying to flesh out a specific type of back and forth relationship.
Honestly the whole "I fuck my mate with my clannid (brothers)" makes me wonder how THEIR kids will mate since it's a 2 boy, 3 girl situation. So do the women just fuck off and mate whoever and the 2 boys just mate whoever? These are the questions I need answered lol
Overall a good sci-fi, low angst smut. although I wish these had been edited more thoroughly since I picked up weird spelling errors or awkward phrasing. but let's be real we're not reading Tolkien's masterpiece, we're reading space smut heh

On Wow
This book left me totally speechless. I truly loved this story; it's the best one yet. Every book in this series keep getting better and better. The story flowed so well, the characters are so likeable and relatable, even the supporting characters are entertaining. This is definitely a series and a writer that I will be following in the future. The women in each book is strong and confident, and there mates are loving, possessive, protective, sexy aliens. You should definitely check out this series. You won't be disappointed.

The Edoka's Destiny
Oh my gosh did I enjoy this story. A’Jular's and his brothers story was everything I was hoping for. They were all very sweet and loving. They were also very distinctly their own person with a personality to match Destiny. I loved all the interaction between them. The world building was well constructed and fascinating. I can't wait to read the next in this series. I would highly recommend this book and this series.

Not so smooth
I have no idea where I want this review to go. On one hand I love this story it has so much adventure and romance. On the other hand the sentences drive me bonkers with the added words that do not need to be there. The mistakes take away from the conversation between the characters. I want to get lost in the story not get drawn out abruptly because there is a redundant sentence or a typo.

The Mating Stem
Great, Excellent, Awesome Book!!!!!!!!!!
There are so many positive things to say about “The Edokas’ Destiny I don’t know where to start. The way the Edokas gain their mating stem was laugh out loud, hilarious. This is the first 3 male, one female book that has sweet, hot loving versus a beat down for the heroine. Thank you, SJ Sanders. The plot is exciting and the characters well defined and likable. Loved it!

Cool Aliens!
Stumbled across this book and decided to give it a try. It didnt disappoint. It isnt as hard hitting and indepth as some books I have read but the characters are well developed and the aliens are different. Its not just space barbarians in koolaid colors. I love the various spines and frills and other biological diversity introduced. Cant wait for more!

This book was very enjoyable. There are some typos, but less than the first book. Death is a great character. She is a beautiful plus size woman who stows-away on a ship leaving Earth. Luckily, it is her future mates ship. There is some action, lots of steam, and some happy year jerking moments. Can't wait to read the next one.

Super good second installment to the Mate Index. I remember A'Jular from the first book and I found him very intriguing. He's a trader and his brothers Sha’melor and E'Budar hope he can find their mate by sniffing her out.
I adored these 3 guys and Destiny seems like a perfect match for them.
Can't wait to see the actual book cover!
