Her Rogue Mates

Interstellar Brides Program #13

by Grace Goodwin

No rules. No laws. No mercy. She belongs to them now.

An Earth member of the medical recovery team on Transport Station Zenith, Harper meets two mysterious strangers from an unknown world. With intense eyes and even more intense desires, it's easy for the two sexy-as-sin aliens to prove how good it can be with them.

Styx, a leader from Rogue 5, knows Harper is destined to belong to him and his most trusted enforcer, Blade. But when Styx is betrayed by one of his own kind, she's caught in the deadly crossfire. Her mates must tread carefully, for even if they win the battle on the lawless outer moon, they might lose the most important battle of all, the one for Harper's heart.

Meh!



The following ratings are out of 5:
Narration: 🎙🎙🎙
Romance: 💋💋💋
Heat/Steam: 🥵🥵🥵🥵
Story/Plot: 📕📗📘
World building: 🌎🌍🌏
Character development: 👱🏻‍♀️🧔🏻‍👩🏼‍🦰

The heroine: Harper - a nurse from Earth who works in space. There is an intergalactic war with The Hive and she works for the coalition and is stationed out of Transport Station Zenith. Her and the team she works with get transported to battle situations to in a combat medic type capacity. A friend of hers was killed and she goes to the bar to unwind.

The Hero(es): Styx and Blade - they belong to a race that is not in the coalition, Styx is the leader of his clan and Blade is his number two. They are at Station Zenith for a business meeting and they see Harper in the bar. Styx knows from the beginning that she is their mate.

The Story: When Harper and her team are ambushed on a mission by a force that is the same race as the two men she just met and had an encounter with, she barely makes it out alive. Styx and Blade know that she is not safe and take her to their home planet.

The story is good at first but it eventually devolves into just sex and talking about having sex. The two guys have fangs and claim their mate by biting them during sex and excreting a mating venom. Though they promise Harper not to bite her till she is ready. When she is finally ready, there is a bunch of talk and inner commentary going over and over it that I just said cmon already. It was boring me and she already had decided.

The narration male narrators Tor Thom and Liam DiCosimo, were terrific, but the female narrator Tess Irondale sounded to mature and it was like my mom was reading all these dirty sexy ménage scenes. That was just my personal opinion, she does narration for quite a few audiobooks, but it just didn’t work for me.

The cover art is inaccurate. This is listed as a stand alone but lacks sufficient world building to explain the coalition or hive, the reason for war or the political environment. The story was lacking on action/conflict & isn’t one I’d read again.

On a positive note the MCs are a departure from the usual h/H in this series. The h wasn’t an interstellar bride & the H(s) aren’t a part of the coalition. I enjoyed learning about an alien race/world outside the coalition. I also liked the fact the h had a career that included her going out on the battlefield. 2 stars

Like I Always Say… Double the Pleasure Double the Fun!

Holy hot Hyperion alien beasts… the heart palpitations haven’t stopped since reading “Her Rogue Mates” the latest installment in the “Interstellar Brides Rogues Series”! I read this episode in one sitting and never moved… OK, I lied… I squirmed a little… OK, maybe I squirmed a lot but this is one totally hot book! Professionally written, the narrative is incredibly fast paced and flowed seamlessly from the first page to the very last. The characterizations are totally engaging including two for the price of one, Rogue 5 alien beasts and a strong, intelligent coalition medic (lucky girl!). Trust me, Styx and Blaze dole out all of the action Harper can handle (yeah, that kind of action!) on every horizontal as well as vertical surface available! As with prior installments, the world building is fantastic incorporating plenty of action (no, not that kind) intrigue, revenge, betrayal and all of the raw, filthy alien sex you could ask for… did I already mention that?! “Her Rogue Mates” is a heat seeking ménage missile directly targeting the reader’s heart with plenty of sweet romance and everlasting love. All of the Interstellar Bride Books (or spinoffs) including “Her Rogue Mates” are standalone novels and reading of any previous work is not required for total enjoyment.

So… If you’re looking to double your pleasure and double your fun, just “one-click” “Her Rogue Mates” right now… you know you want to! Remember sharing is caring!

[Aly · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was exactly what I thought it would be, an alien romance with a bit of plot and a lot of sexytimes. It was entertaining and I liked how the men cherished their mate but didn't stop her from living her life. They made a good trio, with plenty of playful moments and love. I liked that the audiobook was narrated by three people so the guys were easy to tell apart. I'll probably look into some other books in this series.

[Jac K · Rating 2 out of 5]

Grace Goodwin is hit or miss for me. I usually stick to her MF stuff because I don’t feel like she does a great job with the MFM dynamic (it always feels a bit disconnected), but I did find Styx and Blade interesting in His Virgin Bride and was interested in how the “loose ends” would shake out…. it was on sale for .99, and the audiobook is free to listen if you have an audible membership.

For those that didn’t read that book, Bryn and Katie traveled to Rogue 5 to hunt a bad guy. While there he was shot/held captive by Astra the leader of that sector and held because she wanted a name (male) from Styx. Well unless I missed something, this was dropped. The only mention of Astra hating anyone is Cerberus but that happened 20 years earlier. 🤷🏻

This one didn’t have much of a plot. Styx and Blade meet Harper, realize she’s their mate, then sweeps her back to their sector after her team is attacked. That’s pretty much it until the end when they quickly and very uneventfully take down the bad guys and drop everything else. It also didn’t flow. I felt like I was missing pieces and that the plot was made up of random events/ideas just thrown together with nothing cohesive tying them together. For example, during the attack Harper’s leader takes off around a corner then disappears. Later were told someone from her team had to have double crossed them, so I was assuming it was Rovo, but he’s never mentioned again… or any of her team that I remember.

I also didn’t love Harper, who wasn’t quite as annoying as Katie but similar. I found it super annoying that she was so outspoken about protecting the bad guy who had just attacked a room full of people and attacked her squad.

“Now? You can’t. He’ll die.”
“He would have killed you or taken you with your MedRec team from the Latiri battlefield. And now he’s tossed an ion cannon at you, at us. We must know the reason why.”
“Even if it kills him?” I asked.
Blade nodded. “His life was over the moment he tried to hurt you.”

My soft- hearted mate argued to spare his life, tried to convince me he deserved to live. But he’d killed countless members of her team on Latiri, taken more hostage, and tried to kill the one person in the galaxy whose life I placed above all others.

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Bottom Line- I was disappointed. The outlaw badasses were lovesick mushes, the kickass Coalition member wasn’t tough, and there was hardly any action. Even the smut was lackluster… and the ending was silly. She did nothing to warrant their people’s dedication. Meh.

[Samm Lynn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Freakin' Hell! I knew Styx and Blade were going to be awesome as soon as they were introduced in His Virgin Bride and the author did not disappoint. Even though this book can be read as a standalone, I would suggest reading His Virgin Bride first as it is the introduction to the Rogue 5 Legions and Styx and Blade play a large part of that story.

From the very beginning, this book sucked me in and did not release me until I finished it. While it is in the Interstellar Bride Universe, Harper is not a matched Bride but a discovered mate.

Styx and Blade are a fantastic mashup of good guy/bad guy and are absolutely perfect. They are violent (when it comes to protecting their own), caring, protective, dominant, and let's not forget downright dirty. Harper has such a capacity for compassion that it is almost detrimental at times but outstandingly awesome at other times.

The plot has a little of everything - a heist, an assassination attempt, battles, celebrations, raging hot sex(though I tend to skip over these), spies, A NEW ATLAN THAT NEEDS A MATE (if you can't tell - I am particularly fond of the Atlans), and so much more.

Don't wait! Grab a copy, enjoy and then let the author know that we need Warlord Wulf's story!

Once again I received a copy from the author and voluntarily reviewed this book but I have purchased EVERY SINGLE book that the author has written for this universe and I have enjoyed them all.

[Cheryl Whitty · Rating 4 out of 5]

Reviewed on Behalf of Book Addict live,
This is an Erotic Sci-Fi Romance, whats not to like? Harper is a medic from earth stationed on Zenith Transport Station waiting to be called in by the Coalition of planets fighting the Hive. When the battle is finished the medics come in afterwards to look after the wounded.
While waiting for the call Harper bumps into a 7fth muscled walking Organism machine called Styx. Harper is looking to hook up quick before being called back to duty. Styx is looking at his mate.
Before Styx gets stuck in they are joined by Blade, we quickly discovers Harper has two mates. So Styx and Blade have to protect Harper from harm and pleasure her until she realises they are her mates.
This has plenty of action in and out bedroom, I enjoyed the quick sexy read, that has left steam coming of my kindle.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review

I remember meeting these two males in another book in this series, and I've been meaning to find their book and read it ever since. Finally got around to it since I was in an alien romance mood. I still love this series. It just really hits the spot.

[Kathy Heare Watts · Rating 5 out of 5]

TRUST US HARPER; WE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU.

I enjoyed this addition to the Interstellar Brides series but can attest that it will read well as a stand-alone and the reader will not feel lost or unable to follow the story. Styx and Blade were key players in His Virgin Bride, and I am so happy to see their story. Trust me, if you didn’t read His Virgin Bride, you still can read Her Rogue Mates and not be lost.

Nurse Harper Barrett, from Earth, works with MedRec Transport Station and is nearing the end of her two-year contract. She is back from the battlefield, and resting before the next attack will call them into action. While in the station bar, she will be approached by an alien, but not one in the Coalition, no, this one is different, dark, intense, and she desires him. Leaving the bar together, while they are making out in the hallway, they are encountered by another alien, but this one is light and just as sinfully sexy.

Styx, the leader from Rogue 5, knows when he sees Harper that she is the one, the mate he has been waiting for, and along with his second, Blade, they will claim her and be pair-bonded. “Harper was mine. Blade was mine. Their pleasure was mine as well. The need to control them both was pure animal instinct.” She was looking for a quickie and finds herself not one, but two dominant aliens that are determined to own, control, and possess her, forever.

How far will they go to keep her safe? When her team is attacked, her life hangs in peril; there is an enemy who seeks to destroy her, Styx and Blade take action to get her to safety. If that means taking a chance with the coalition, with other fractions, whatever, her safety is all that matters. “May the gods witness and protect you.”

Styx and Blade will present her to their council but make it known; she is their chosen mate. While they claim her, the will wait to mark her, giving her free will to chose them for life. “She is mine. I honor her claim and accept her mark.”

When they are all attacked at a gathering of leaders, the battle begins to take down her enemies, and enlisting outside help will keep things in check. Harper will be placed in the protection on Rogue 5 while her men and his enforcers join with outsiders to rescue captives and destroy the enemy. Harper has fallen in love with her men and is ready to be claimed by them. “I wanted them. I wanted what they were offering me. I wanted forever.” “It was time for them to bite me, claim me, make me theirs.”

The story has the good, the bad, and the ugly of the galaxy. It has plenty of angst, anger, betrayal, but it has passion, determination, desire, and raw hunger with dirty erotica sex between human and aliens. There are scenes of violence while seeking and enacting revenge. And there are many sizzling, steamy ménage sex scenes between Styx, Blade, and Harper. The chemistry between this triad has so much love and passion that you can’t help love them together. There are some surprises near the end that makes your heart flutter with happiness.

[Latrina J. · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you are a syfy, fantasy, erotic, action romance reader, this book has them all. Please don’t be fooled with the cover of the book. The sexy Alpha males in this story are above and beyond the pictorial expectations. They are described as being muscular built, tattooed, and drop dead gorgeous opposites.

Classic of Ms. Goodwin’s previous books in the bride series; the characters are set in the future, in a distant galaxy, in Coalition space. This book can be a standalone, but I’d advise you to read the previous “Interstellar Bride” novels so you can understand the extending plot, the introduction of the races, the characters, and the “mate” mentality, which, is equivalent to a wife. The theme throughout the series of books that crosses from planet to planet and affects different races, is the fight of good and evil against the Hive, part machines, part aliens who are attempting to assimilate other alien races and humans alike in their quest to rule or take over the galaxies.

Harper Barrett was an Earth ER nurse from Los Angles. She enlisted in the Coalitions war against the Hive and now she’s a triage nurse fighting in outer space. She’s described as blond, blue eyed, and 5’10, intelligent, she’s tough, tough, beautiful, with a good head on her shoulders, with a good heart.

Blade and Styx are two alpha males that were introduced in “His Virgin Bride” are from a planet called Hyperion, the Styx region. They are equivalent to a MC group. Where Blade is light, the enforcer, his presence wasn’t as paramount as Styx’s, but he’s still a force in his own right. Styx is dark, the leader of the Styx region, outlaws. Both are big, sexy, badass, dominate, protective, hardcore killers and gorgeous. They are both “Mates” to Harper, but they are alpha males in their own right. Both are intense, but soft and loving toward their mate. I found myself wanting to read more on their prospective, because they were hard core, wanted to get more in depth into their histories. By the middle of the book I couldn’t wait for them both to bite her.

I won’t get into the history of the planet and the race. You would have to read this book and the previous books to get a better understanding of what drives these men to risk their lives for their “Mate”, uncover a plot to kill Harper by one of their own, prevent destruction of their world by a rogue legion, and at the same time deal with the annulations of the Hive.

I can somewhat appreciate the balance of the main characters presence; I also appreciate a males point – a – view. The introduction and forming chemistry in new characters and a visit of the old characters for future series is tasteful. This makes for a fresh continuation into the next chapter of the series. Intertwined in the plot and chaos there is the coming together of all the different races in the Coalition to help fight one common enemy, the Hive, and mixed in is a little humor, while in anticipation at the same time wondering which character will be next in the series.

Phew, wow, do I just love these Interstellar Brides books by Grace Goodwin. I love dispelling reality and allowing myself to just enjoy the ride. In Her Rogue Mates we meet Harper, Styx and Blade.

Styx, as a leader of Rogue 5, is used to getting his way. As does Blade. And how convenient that they will claim a mate together. Harper. Now they just need to get her on board with their intentions.

Harper has lived a very independent life. Coming to the end of her service on the MedRec team, Harper's been on the front lines in the clean-up after battles with the Hive, but she's never met anyone from Rogue 5 until now.

And now it's time for Styx and Blade to convince Harper that she's theirs. Their mate. Theirs to love, to protect. But can they protect her from the enemies within the Rogue 5 legions? Will they save her, Rogue 5 and win her heart?

Her Rogue Mates was a bit different than the other Interstellar Brides books, but I really enjoyed the change up. I loved Harper and her strength and her willingness to stand up for herself and what she wanted. I also loved both Styx and Blade. Both strong, sexy AF, alpha males but they showed their soft underbellies to Harper and it was so fun to watch them squirm. Such fun and I can't wait for more! ~ Missy, 4 stars

I first fell in love with Styx and Blade in Ms. Grace's "His Virgin Bride". But now these two hot potatoes have found a new spud .. I mean mate .. to love. Harper is an EMT for the Coalition but these two very sexy Hyperions have decided to claim her in every possible way. But before they can sink there .. teeth .. into her someone else wants her dead instead of becoming the heart of Rogue 5. Just like every title I've read by Ms. Grace, this too will burn your panties to cinders !! Yes ladies (or gents even) it's that dern HOT !! It's a good read on it's own but it might help you to read the others too ... wink wink.

This was a very exhilarating read. I enjoyed it immensely. I loved the connection between Styx, Blade, and Harper. It was so hot and exciting. The anticipation of the battle and the suspense in the mystery was very well written. I would recommend it to anyone.

1.5 estrellas

Que redondeo a dos estrellas porque, por lo menos, he podido terminarlo. Aunque en los tres últimos capítulos hubo un momento en el que casi lo dejo.

Me he echado unas risas con los diálogos durante las escenas de sexo (divertido pero mala señal si te ríes durante esos momentos 🤣🤣)
Al principio parecía que iba a tener un poco más de trama. Luego se desinfla…

No ha estado mal como distracción entre lecturas pesadas. Este mes he elegido lecturas con temáticas demasiado oscuras, suspense, policiacas y, encima, demasiado crimen real (culpa mía por elegirlas, sí).

A busy book, filled with action and adventure that keeps you holding your breath even as your blood heats. Heights of joy to low despair are felt while reading, as are the thrill of battle and the pleasures given to a mate from her two Rogue Warrior alphas. Plan to get comfortable because once you start reading you will not be stopping until the surprise announcement to the three at the end.


My rating of "Her Rogue Mates - Interstellar Brides - Rogue 5 Volume 1" is 4.75 out of 5 stars.

Grace Goodwin- Her Rogue Mates Interstellar Brides:Rogue 5)(Volume1)

Welcome to Rogue 5, the newest addition to the. Interstellar Brides Series, although because this is a Rogue planet they are not officially part of the mating program. This does not stop two amazing alpha leaders of the Rogue group Styx to claim an earthen female as their own. This is such a welcome addition to the series and the fact that these males come in twos is a double plus.

Rogue 5 is know for their outlaws who have an uneasy but working secret arrangement with the Coalition that ends up benefitting both sides. Rogue 5 is made up of several Legions who have an uneasy peace which is often broken leading to violent sparring for domination. . Styx Legion is lead of course by Styx. Blade is his right hand and together they form an unbeatable force. Styx is a leader, excellent at strategizing and an unbeatable warrior. Blade counterbalances him, he is all about protection and all out beserker when it comes to fighting. Together they will claim a mate.

Harper is a Coalition Nurse who is dedicated to her team and plays by all the rules. She and her team made up of earthers and other aliens ,are at the ready to get in and rescue any coalition soldiers in their never ending battles with The Hive. Harper is no nonsense, brave, beautiful woman not looking for any serious relationships.

One night while chilling at her in station bar after a horrible day of violence, she is stunned to be approached by a dark rogue warrior, not one of the Coalition. He is accompanied by a blond, light eyed male. They don’t take no for an answer and truthfully she didn’t want to turn down the opportunities to have a wild night with these two too hot to handle aliens.

Styx sees Harper at the bar and instinctually knows she is his mate, the one he and Blade must claim in a manage that involves biting. The bite she is told will be the most intense pleasure she will ever receive, so, he’s, this book is ten 🔥of hot and worth every scene.

This is not only a full length sci-fi erotic romance it is also a full sized lengthy book that is an action packed can’t stop reading roller coaster ride. An incredible story with filled with intrigue, spies, battles, suspense,danger, loyalties that are tested, negotiations between worlds and legions, and the 🔥erotic romance/love that will keep readers fully engaged.
The author has wonderfully developed the
world of Rogue 5 and it’s inhabitants. Thrilled that this full length book is the first in what promises to be a phenomenal spinoff series to Interstellar Brides.

Harper Barrett watched a tall, dark-haired alien approach her from the other side of the bar. As a paramedic on the medical team on Transport Station Zenith, she could recognize every race in the Coalition Fleet, having dragged them off the battlefield many times to treat their wounds. But this one was not like anyone else, and apparently the other warriors recognized that as well, judging by their reactions.

Harper had lost a good friend this day. His body was under a pile of Hive Scouts. She ordered a shot of whiskey to help numb her a little. The sexy alien stood close to her and sniffed the air. Smelling blood, he took her hand and unwrapped the bandage she had put on the wound. He took out a healing tool and sealed the wound. He pulled her closer and talked to her in a low voice that had her nearly melting on the floor. He said his name was Styx, a Hyperion leader from Rogue 5 moon base.

As Styx kissed her a voice interrupted. Styx continued kissing her without pause and said, “This is Blade.” Apparently the two gorgeous men “shared” women and their “bite” was how they claimed a mate. Mate? Bite?? And Blade grinned at her, showing his fangs! When her wrist unit buzzed, she had to leave them. Both men struggled to hold back their protective urges. Neither wanted her to return to duty, to danger. But for now, there was nothing they could do about it.

As Harper and her team helped the wounded on the planet, they too were under attack. Mercenaries, dressed similarly to Styx and Blade, were stealing weapons and anything else they could gather. And they were killing anyone they could. Styx and Blade, on Transport Station Zenith, heard what was happening on Latiri 4 where Harper was. They knew the mercenaries were slave traders and Harper was in danger! But with the transport pads restricted to the military teams heading for battle, would they be able to get to her? To save her?

As with all of this author’s books, this one was incredible! The action never stops, the suspense never fades! We meet some of the previous characters again, along with some new ones that soon find a place in the reader’s heart. This book will leave you wrung out and breathless! Seriously, you will not want to miss it! I was given a copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it. My comments reflect my honest opinion.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. I really enjoyed this book as I have all of Grace Goodwins books she never disappoints and I find myself staying up late to finish any book she has written anyway, Harper is a nurse and works for the coalition as a medic /nurse, drowning she sorrows Harper sees a man dress in all black and he is watching her everyone around her seems to notice him but do nothing as he comes over to her Harper is not sure what he wants but if a good time is what he is looking for she is up for it to take her mind of life, Harper asks his name and he tells Styx and leads her out into the hallway where he kisses the daylights out of her but she hears someone coming and looks and finds another man standing there watching them he is dressed the same and just as hot, the man comes closer and touches her and she likes it and just then Styx says this is Blaze and we are your mates and we will pleasure you and keep you safe no matter what but Harper doesn’t want any of it she only wants to feel good and that’s what they give her, then it’s time for her to go back in the field and they must let her go. And when all hell breaks loose and her life is threatened they whisk her away to rogue5 to keep her safe. Will this work, will they try again to take her life, will they get there HEA read this book to find out I loved it. Thanks Karen N

This story is about a human named Harper. She's a nurse and when the Coalition makes earth a part of their alliance people have to choose a way to help. Harper can become a bride or a soldier so she decides to become a medic. One day at a bar she gains the attention of an alien man. He's not like the others, she doesn't recognize him. He's Styx of Styx Legion and he's interested in her. He believes he and his friend Blade are her mates. After a short tryst in a hallway Harper is called away to a battle to heal the injured. Unfortunately the medical team is attacked. Harper manages to escape, barely. So Styx and Blade claim her as their mate and take her home with them. Their plan is to find the person responsible for the attack. Can Harper survive long enough to enjoy her new mates?

This book was a lot of fun. I liked all the different kinds of aliens and that Styx and Blade are kind of like vampires in the sense that they have the urge to bite Harper and give her ultimate pleasure. The story was interesting I liked all the different groups. I love how Styx's and Blade tattoo Harper's name on their bodies to show that she's theirs. I love that Harper is fierce and willing to help others even when her life is in danger. The sex was hot and the action fast paced. A great story.

What can I say about this book...except that I absolutely LOVE the stories this author writes and this book has been added to a long list of fantastic reads. I thought the original Interstellar Brides could not be beaten but Grace introduced the Colony and proved me wrong. Now she has brought us The Rogues and I am completely enthralled with this new group of aliens.

Harper is a member of the Medical Recovery Team and is having a break in the canteen on Zenith when she encounters the Hyperions, Styx, leader of Rogue 5 and his Commander, Blade. They recognise her immediately as their mate and set about convincing the sceptical medic of this fact. When Harper is placed in danger, they are determined to protect her and can only do this by taking her back to Rogue 5. Can Styx and Blade get Harper to return with them and can they keep their mate safe?

Ms Goodwin is a master of writing super, strong female leads and alpha alien males who want nothing more than to worship, pleasure and protect the women they love. The characters were well written and engaging and the secondary characters added interest. As always, I was gripped from beginning to end and devastated when I finished.
A pleasure to read and thank you Ms Goodwin, for allowing me to read and review this great book.

Grace Goodwin has brought use back to her Interstellar Brides universe of the Coalition and the Hive. Her Rogue Mates is another series within that larger universe. We first met Styx and Blade in His Virgin Bride, and now we get to know them better.

Harper is an ER nurse that is helping out the Coalition's fight in her own way, instead of signing up to be a Bride or joining Earth's fighting force, she is using her medical knowledge and help up the medical teams. She goes out and triages people for help.

Styx and Blade are members of the Styx Legion on Rogue 5. Styx is the leader and Blade is his trusted right hand. They've always known that they were going to share a mate. When they are on Zenith 5, Styx meets Harper in a bar and knows that she's the one. Blade agrees.

This is a hot MMF menage story. On top of some mind melting sex, there is also an excellent story, which drug me in and made me want more. I know that there will probably be more info dropped in other stories that's linked with the stuff in this book, so I'm eager for the next books to come out. Grace always writes a good story, which both satisfies and leaves you wanting more.

I got an ARC, you got my honest and voluntary review.

This is the fifth installment of Grace Goodwin’s Interstellar Brides series. I have to say, that while I’m a fan of all of the “Brides” books, this one might just be my very favorite one that I’ve read to date.
They all usually have the same theme of a woman going through a matching program to become a bride to one of the alien species that is fighting the very evil Hive. This time however, we have nurse turned space medic, Harper Barrett. She has decided she doesn’t want to be a bride, but wants to do her part by helping to save the human fighters who have taken up the cause. She works on Transport Station Zenith, and when she’s not saving lives, she relaxes at their bar. That’s where she meets Styx. He’s tall, dark, and dangerous. He’s also not part of the coalition, but a black market merc who wants her as his mate, as does his friend, Blade.

When Harper survives a rescue and sees something she shouldn’t have, she’s whisked away with Styx and Blade for safety. But can they keep her safe while keeping her satisfied? Honestly, I really liked reading about these good/bad guys and really hope that we see more stories about the rest of them. While I wasn’t thrilled with the outcome at the very end because of the cliche of it, I still Loved this book!

Her Rogue Mates by Grace Goodwin is the first book in the Interstellar Brides Rogues.
Meet Harper Barrett.
She´s a nurse from earth and fights the Hive in a Coalition Fleet medical team.
She meets striking alien warriors. The Rogue leader Styx; leader of Styx Legion on Rogue 5 moon and his second in command Blade. It takes one look from the men and they recognize their mate. Harper isn´t amused. She wants no string sex, yes. But no mate. She has a duty to the Coalition to fulfill.
Butr enemies threaten to kill Harper and she has to trust the men.
Her Rogue Mates is one of my favorite reads in the Interstellar Brides Series. Yes, they´re all kinky and uberhot. But somehow the characters and I " Click".
I love the story, the writing is excellent and I could feel the characters emotions in the words.
I read this book in one sitting, I couldn´t put it down.
I recommend Her Rogue Mates and give 5 stars. Thank you, Grace Goodwin!

Wonderful Read!!
Hurrah! We are in the depths of Rogue 5 Legions! Grace Goodwin introduced Styx Legion which lives on Rogue 5 in “His Virgin Bride” Interstellar Brides series and we anxiously, waited for this story. Bad, Bad and more Bad Alphas, gorgeous males and strong women invade our world, now. You don't need to read book one but the stories intertwine and it is just great to read them in order. The sensuous. passionate feelings between Styx, Blade and Harper has us on edge throughout the story. They have obstacles towards finding the path to be together but their love, intensity and attraction grows and grows. Grace Goodwin never fails her readers! This is another wonderful, well written story, full of suspense, mystery, intrigue, gorgeous Bad Alphas, romance and sensual HOT scenes. The characters are well developed – we adore them, care about them and worry about them. Thank you Grace Goodwin for providing us with another GREAT read!

This book is set in the same alien world as Grace Goodwin's Interstellar Bride series but it is a stand-alone romance. Unlike the other series, Harper has not agreed to be an interstellar bride. Instead she is a nurse and helping soldiers injured on the battlefield. That is until she meets Styx and Blade in a bar after a difficult mission. Styx and Blade immediately realize she is their mate but Harper thinks their attention is basically a one-time event. Aside from being a menage romance, this book features some significant world-building completer with political intrigue and danger. Everything that you need in a sci-fi romance!

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this novel.

I loved almost everything about this book! From the initial meeting of Styx and Harper to the very end.

I liked that regardless of what Harper was feeling or experiencing, she was able to stay true to herself as a healer, and I know that wasn't easy for her in a place where brutality and lawlessness prevailed.

Styx and Blade ultimately made me jealous that I wasn't Harper. I liked that they were able to let her be herself in spite of their worry for her and their innate need to protect her. I also enjoyed their savagery, immensely.

The one thing I felt that wasn't resolved was when Harper's teammate disappeared around the rocks-was he in on it all, did he die, was he taken? This book is labeled Volume 1, so hopefully the next volume is released soon. I'm looking forward to more of the legion.

Out of This World

Out of this world good! I thoroughly enjoyed discovering a new race of alpha alien hotties, not part of the Coalition. They operate on the opposite side of the law, making their own rules but with honor. They were not expecting to find their mate on their trip to the space station but boy, once they scented her, all bets were off. Harper is a spitfire, a RN, attached to a med unit that follows around human soldiers fighting the scourge of the universe, the Hive. She loves her job and saving lives as a healer is her life's calling. But add two handsome Rogue warriors who demand her submission and offer her orgasms infinitum, and what's an earth woman to do? Add some intrigue, assassination attempts and a successful rescue mission and you have a recipe for a great alien romance. Loved it!

**4.5 stars**

Was very happy to see the release of this book and new series! So excited that we didn't have to wait to get Styx and Blade's story after being introduced to them in the last Virgin Brides book!! I thought it might be a while before we got this one but Grace Goodwin knows what her readers want obviously!!

If you were intrigued by these two during her last book then this one will satisfy your curiosity and if you are totally new to it you will STILL enjoy it - I'm confident! Great new world that this story takes us into - different than the other Interstellar Brides as they are a Rogue nation and have fewer rules but still interesting customs.

Cannot wait for more from this series - whole new cast of characters to get their HEA.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
