Interstellar Brides: The Virgins #3
His Virgin Princess
Danielle arrives on Everis excited to meet her new mate. She watches as her friends find happiness while haunted by dreams of an Everian Hunter who will not come for her—a mate who refuses to claim her. But something isn't right. The dreams turn dark. Tortured. Her mate is suffering, and nothing will stop her from finding him—especially not his stern orders to choose another, to protect herself above all others, and cherish her life above his own.
Gage of Everis is heir to a seat on the Seven, the ruling council of families that have held power on Everis for thousands of years. He's the last prince of his line, the last surviving heir, and someone doesn't want him to rise to his place on the ruling council. Betrayed, tortured and alone, Gage has found solace in knowing he's protected his Marked Mate from sharing his fate. But his stubborn bride refuses to listen to reason.
When she finds him, there will be a reckoning. Not only is Gage determined to find those who betrayed him, but to conquer the wild huntress who came for him in the dark and stole his heart.

Certainly, better than the last- Dani is WAY better than Katie and we’re back to the resilient h saving the day, but I’m really G.G. overdosed. I liked the mc’s, but can’t say this series is my favorite. They feel plot hole-y and underdeveloped. For example, early on we’re told that Gage (most un-alien name ever) was betrothed to his step-sis Rayla before his mark activated. They were not in love; it was a match for duty. Raya turns out to be super nice and in love with her bodyguard, so no OW drama…BUT… after reuniting he morphs into this older brother role that’s brotherly protective, and eeked out anytime anything sexual is brought up with her and her partner. Which is great and all, but I still remembered he’d planned to marry, sex, baby up this woman that were showed in a bro/sis relationship… and that kind of eeked me out.
It just all feels rushed and lazy; we still have no clue whoever hired the assassin to kill the council member last book. Basically, you really need to just accept everything as it comes, because things are popped in, popped out when convenient to the plot. And the sexytime felt SO repetitive…and all the clenching and squirming… 🙄 And the audio is dreadful. The male voice has a haughty mature English accent that I cringed every time he went on about her pussy. The h’s voice sounded constipated, so I don’t recommend listening to it.
Bottom Line- If you like these books; you’ll probably like this one too, but maybe not as much as the IB original and colony series. They are easy, quick reads with a little action and smut, but nothing heavy. My only complaint is that I’m assuming this will finish out the friend’s stories, and I felt it was left a little open. We get an update, but pushing it out a couple more months/years would’ve worked better.

No way in Hades her matched mate is not going to give her her HEA with oodles and oodles of orgasms. Danielle will do whatever it takes to make that happen. Luckily she has the skills and know how to track and free Gage. Then, he can show his appreciation by doing his part.
Gage of Everis has given up all hope. Having been captured, tortured, and now left to die for an unknown reasons by enemies whose goal is to kill off the last of his family's line and therefore end his family's seat on the Seven ruling council. His only solace is that he's been able to protect his matched mate.
Danielle and Gage knows that freeing Gage is only the first step in moving forward but first things first. Let the orgasms begin.
* * *
I have mixed feelings about this story. It started out with a bang when I one clicked the "sample" option for this book. Loved the potential and writing style in Danielle as a female version of Rambo. Yup. Grab a comfortable chair, popcorn, and beverage of choice as I then followed through with finalizing one click purchase to read .... the rest of the story.
In the end I struggled to continue reading this story to the end. It had it's moments and the adult content romance was smoking but in the end it was a cookie cutter political intrigue - behind the scene evil entity and family dynamics angst.

Another hot and wonderful read by Grace! I love her Interstellar Bride Virgin Series. The women are strong, and the men are so alpha and crazy in love.
And of course, we get to see the other brides and their mates. Not sure where we will go next, but I'm along for the ride.
Such a great series🎆🎉

Ok, so I have a confession to make....there's just something about Alien books that typically turns me off. I don't know if I just think about the stereotypical little green aliens from movies or what, but I usually avoid these types of books.
But I've also had my eye on this author's books for a while. I was intrigued by them. But I never knew where to start or which ones would really appeal to me. I've even taken her quiz about who your mate would be and where they'd be from...but I hadn't read any of her stuff. So when I got the opportunity to to review this, I jumped at the opportunity to take a chance on a new-to-me author.
I'm happy to report that I freaking loved this book. I loved seeing the instant connection between Gage and Danielle. I loved that she ignored his edict of staying away to go find him and save her mate. I just loved that. She was a strong woman that wasn't willing to give up on her mate after traveling so far, and from another world just lose the person meant for her. I loved that about her.
I completely expected Gage to be an alpha. The simple fact that they were "Mates" told me he was going to be alpha. And he was, in the best ways. Even when he'd been torture and left for dead, his first concern was for Danielle and her injured ankle. Let's be real...his injuries were far more severe than an old ankle injury, but all he cared about was seeing that his mate was properly taken care of and healed. And that extended to later in the book too, when her ankle injury reared it's ugly head again. And I loved that he put her well-being above his own. It was just very sweet. I mean, this is a woman that he's never met before, and while she is his mate, it's not like they have a long past together.
After looking at this book on Goodreads, I now realize that it's book 3 in a series. Going in, I had no idea. So, yes, this can be read as a stand alone. I didn't feel lost in the story. However, with that said, the book picks up with Danielle on the trail of Gage, set to rescue him. I haven't gone back to read the other books in the series (but I plan to), so I don't know if there's anything about Danielle and Gage in those books, or if you see the first time they connect in their dreams of when they first feel their mating marks...but I kind of wish that I'd been able to see that in this book. I would love to see how they found out about their mates, how they reacted, see them interact for the first time in their dreams, see them excited to meet and then finally see Gage tell her not to come after him and her decided to ignore that order and go after him. Like I said, I don't know if any of that happens in the previous books, but I can't wait to find out.
Overall, I had a lot of fun reading this book. It was super steamy, fast moving and had a good little suspense story. I'll definitely be checking out more books by the author in the future!

I love reading Grace Goodwin's world. Her Interstellar Brides books are some of my favorite scifi romance books to read. Strong and feisty human women with awesome alpha alien hunks is pretty much an equation for hot, sexy, romantic reads. Not only that, but Grace Goodwin always makes sure to put in a good story along with all the steamy, steamy stuff. I know that I'm going to fall in love with the characters and enjoy the story.
Dani has watched her friends Lexi and Katie find their Everin Matched Mates. She knows that hers is out there somewhere, but he won't come to the Touchstone and when they dreamshare, he tells her to go and find someone else. She's so not down with that. He's hers, and she's going to prove it to him. So she leaves the Touchstone to go find her man.
Gage is Dani's Matched Mate. He has been kidnapped and locked away. He doesn't want Dani in danger, so he tells her to go find a different mate. What he doesn't know is that Earth women are stubborn, and she's coming for him.
Dani is my favorite Everin bride, I think. She's stubborn and knows what she wants. She can also back it up. I mean, that's exactly what she did. She was smart and used her skills and her learning to do what she needed. When push came to shove, she showed her true grit and determination. Poor Gage, he doesn't know what he's in for when it comes to Dani. I hope he's ready.
I always look forward to Grace's world, and I'm going to be so sad when she doesn't write in this world anymore. It's a great mix of love, action, light, dark, sweet, and somewhat scary.

I really love Grace's Interstellar Bride series and all of its spin-offs. While my absolute favorite aliens are the Atlans (a pre-order for April's Atlan/Colony book was posted today), all the books in this series are winners and I have purchased them all.
Dani is fairly unique among the Interstellar brides at the Touchstone, whereas most are just Everian descendants with few Everian traits, Dani has some strong Hunter abilities which she puts to good use. This story plays out as a royal intrigue - someone if after the prince, but who is it and who can he trust? Good thing Dani has mated friends, who will help her out - thus giving us an extra dose of Everian Hunters with Bryn (His Virgin Bride) and Von (His Virgin Mate) playing a decent part of the story. There are some hot and steamy scenes as Gage claims Dani's 3 virginities, but the story is strong and engrossing enough without them.
Read the entire Interstellar series and enjoy but be prepared to have your heartstrings yanked when reading about the contaminated veterans headed for (or already on) The Colony.

I fall in love with the characters in every book. Just when I think I can't get a new favourite, another book comes out and i am in love again. Gage and Dani are fated mates. He is being held captive and is waiting to due. Being protective and alpha he does his best to reject her so she won't get hurt. Being a strong sassy Earth heroine she isn't going to accept that! Great action, story, romance and hot sex!

This is the fated mate romance between Danielle and Gage.
Basically someone is out to kill Gage and they are trying to figure out who it is.
This was just okay for me, not my fave in the series :/

MY MATE—MY LOVE—MY HEART
Each story in the Interstellar Brides: The Virgins series will read well as a stand-alone, and also will have people from previous stories that will allow them to interconnect. The Everis are hunters and have an amazing ability of speed and sense. In the previous stories, it will involve two Everis hunters finding their human marked mates, Von and Lexi and Katie and Bryn. This story will be Gage and Danielle.
In dream sharing Gage will tell Danielle to stay away, to stay safe, but she is determined to find him. Coming from Earth where she was a wildness guide, she is very adept at being outdoors, hiking, and she is determined to find him, even evading the hunters at the compound to carry out her mission. Gage is beaten, bruised, burned, and chained, but that isn’t stopping Dani from getting to him and freeing him. She is a smart woman who will come prepared, impressing and frightening Gage at the same time.
“Overly protective, bossy and definitely dominant. They kept their mates safe and protected and very, very naked, so their beautiful, small Earth females did not go a single day without experiencing wild, carnal pleasure at their master’s hands. That is what will happen to you, Danielle, once we escape this place and you are healed. I will claim you in the sacred order of three, learn every single secret your body would try to keep from me. I will make you beg for release and scream with pleasure. I will kiss every inch of you, mate. Claim you. Make you mine.”
The story is full of angst, anger, bitterness, deceit, secrets, treason, danger and suspense. How far will someone go to destroy the lineage of Gage, as the last bloodline Prince? His stepmother had plans for his mating to be with his stepsister, even knowing that he has a Marked Mate. Gage will agree that Von and Bryn along with hunters they select will need to be over his security detail, not trusting that someone within their royal household hasn’t betrayed a trust. It was one thing when they kidnapped and chained him up to die, but now he must keep his Princess, Dani, safe at all cost.
The mating will start before he and his new security detail arrive back at his home, and continue after they arrive. But once he learns that Dani is still having trouble and pain with her ankle from a break and surgery on earth, he will put everything on hold until she can be healed, much to her dismay.
The plan for the ascension ceremony is in place, including the ball afterward. Just when you think that maybe things are going to be ok, since only select people have been included, that is when trouble happens. Nothing will stop two people who truly belong to each other and are in love. Love is universal, and for some, it is worth traveling the galaxy to find their perfect prince charming—and sometimes it turns out that he really is a prince. The story is full of explicit and erotic sex scenes.
“I have shown you my love with every action, every word, every thought, everything I do, is for you. My princess, my love, the wild ride began the second we began to dream share.”

Danielle “Dani” Gunderson was on Planet Everis, trying to keep from freezing to death on the cold ground as she wrapped in thin thermal sleeping bag and blankets. She could survive anywhere, but she was not sure of her mate’s condition. He had not shown up at the Touchstone to claim her. Prince Gage, an Everian Hunter, was blocking her from sharing his dreams, trying to keep her away and safe. But that wasn’t going to happen. She herself was descended from Everian Hunters and could track anything, including a missing mate.
Dani was close now. She could feel Gage and she pulled him into her dream. They held each other and he felt her love for the mountains surrounding them. She was perfect for him. But when she moved in her sleep, she cried out in pain from her injured ankle and woke from the dream. Gage, tortured and left for dead to prevent him from ascending to his place of power on the ruling council, woke as well, only to find himself still chained in the dark cave and dying.
Following the pull to her mate, Dani rescues Gage. They are going to join forces and make things right. The enemy has never dealt with a determined, angry Earth woman like Dani! They have no idea what’s coming for them!
This author is a very good writer that captures the interest of the reader right from the start of each of her books. The story line is suspenseful, intriguing, and carries the reader along at a rapid pace. The characters are strong and passionate about doing what is right, regardless of the effort required. Dani and Gage define the word “hero”, and you’ll see what that means throughout the book. Don’t miss this one! It’s a thrill ride you won’t soon forget!

Review copy kindly provided by the author in exchange for a honest review
I have been waiting for this book eagerly as the other two books in this series, have hinted that Danielle, was sharing dreams with her mate who refused to come and get her. With the others, happily mated, Danielle has decided to take things into her own hand and it gets very interesting from the get go. Whilst the other books was entertaining as well, in its own way, the latest book ends things on a bang , perfectly. .
This was kicked up a notch and felt like, the style that Goodwin has been writing lately for Interstellar Bride world. It was an action , mystery adventure that explains why Danielle has been waiting for her guy Gage.
Gage got a big back story and he is worth waiting for . He everything Danielle imagined to be and knows how to make an appearance and cause a sea of problems. He wants to do the whole caveman thing and make her wait at home. But this girl isn’t going to let him do so and it fun watching them banter and fight their way to a HEA. It’s definitely worth the weight as we learn even more about this world and see how the rulers work. The mystery and action worked hand in hand with everything else and it was another enjoyable instalment from Goodiwn. Fans won’t be disappointed and I personally will never get sick of her books

His Virgin Princess is finally Dani’s story of the three virgin earth brides that traveled to Everis together, hoping to find their Marked Mate. Dani has been dream sharing with Gage, and knows he’s in trouble. Having the Hunter blood, she tracks Gage, saves him, and soon know that they are absolutely perfect for each other. But with a previous engagement, a cold step-mother, a royal ball, and enemies at every corner, will Dani be welcomed and feel love from Gage?
There was a line in this book that described The Virgin Princess perfectly - it’s a sci-fi Disney romance! I loved the dynamic that Gage being Everis Royalty added to the storyline. It adds a dimension of power to Gage that responds well to his people and to Dani. There’s definite pros and cons, especially to Dani, who is down to earth, loves to be outside, and isn’t afraid to save the Prince in Distress! I loved the little twists and turns that Ms. Goodwin created, and I was constantly surprised. I liked being back on Everis and finding more out about their culture and relationships. While this could be read as a stand-alone, I would suggest reading the first two books first, simply so you can understand the other couples and their dynamics better.

Dani has been matched by Warden Egara to Evarian Hunter, Prince Gage. Only problem is, when she arrives on Everis, her mate is gone and she is connected to him in dream sharing. He wants her to forget about him and find a different mate to keep her safe. Someone wants Gage dead and has
abducted, chained and caged him. Gage had no idea that Dani was a skilled hunter too and their marks have a strong connection to each other that helps Dani to track Gage so she can free him and the marked mates can be together. Dani's friends and their mates help Gage and Dani to stay together and safe until they can find out who wants Gage dead and so that Gage and Dani can complete the three virginities. There is danger, a conspiracy, close family that might be involved and jealousy that is always a problem in any relationship. Are Gage's step mother or sister involved? Were any of his Hunter Warriors a threat? Through it all, the deep connection as marked mates and the drive to
complete the three virginities keep us turning the pages and fanning ourselves as the couple have steaming hot sex and complete each step of The Three.
Don't worry, as with all other Grace Goodwin books, we are gifted with a great
HEA.

Gage had no idea that Dani was a skilled hunter too and their marks have a strong connection to each other that helps Dani to track Gage so she can free him and the marked mates can be together. Dani's friends and their mates help Gage and Dani to stay together and safe until they can find out who wants Gage dead and so that Gage and Dani can complete the three virginities. There is danger, a conspiracy, close family that might be involved and jealousy that is always a problem in any relationship. Are Gage's step mother or sister involved? Were any of his Hunter Warriors a threat? Through it all, the deep connection as marked mates and the drive to
complete the three virginities keep us turning the pages and fanning ourselves as the couple have steaming hot sex and complete each step of The Three.
Don't worry, as with all other Grace Goodwin books, we are gifted with a great
HEA.

Another winner!!! Love the Interstellar Bride series. Have read all of the books in this amazing SciFi series, filled with HOT, Alpha, Dominant men who adore and care about their strong earth women mates. These are stand alone, yet characters from the earlier books are mentioned and have integral parts in this story. Dani arrives on Everis expecting to meet her fated mate BUT he doesn’t show up! She is not deterred, she feels that he is in danger and against everyone’s advice, she sneaks out of the safety of Touchstone to find him. On earth, her father taught her to hunt and track. Yet, here so far from home, she is seen as small and weak - that being said, Grace Goodwin shows us how weak and frail NOT earth women are - You GO, Grace! The point is, from that moment when Dani rushes to find her fated mate - Prince Gage, one can’t put the book down! It Is filled with suspense, romance, aspects of BDSM and lots of HOT, sexy scenes. The characters are well developed and the chemistry between Gage and Dani is electric! All the stories are well written, no typos or misspellings, Thank You Grace Goodwin for taking care of your readers!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book Grace Goodwin and as usual I was spell bound and it took me to another time and place where I wish it was all true. Danielle is another interstellar bride from earth in search of her mate on Everis they are elite hunters on this planet and she came with two friends Katie and Lexi and they both found there marked mates and where very happy but Dani’s mate never showed up and every night she would dream share with him and he would tell her to forget him and pick someone else but she couldn’t she wanted her true mate and she was going to find him hopefully before he dies from being tortured, her father had taught her well and she is a great tracker so much so it was like she was born to it. Does Dani find Gage her marked mate in time, do they catch the traitor and is there a HEA read this amazing book to get the answers I would recommend this book to everyone and the whole series. I voluntarily reviewed an arc copy of this book.

This is the first book I have read in this spinoff series but I’m going to go back and read them all. I have read Ms. Goodwin before and she creates a world straight out your fantasies. Dani is not like the other Brides, she has strong Hunter abilities. She put them to good use when her matched mate rejects her and hunts him down, but she gets more than she bargained for once she discovers him. Gage, Dani’s Matched Mate, is a prince among his people but is kidnapped and being tortured when Dani finds him. He should have known she would show grit, defy him and come after him because that is what stubborn Earth women do. Dani rescues Gage and they set out to right the wrongs Gage has faced.
This book is suspenseful and it had me sitting on the edge of my seat. I highly recommend this book.

His Virgin Princess by Grace Goodwin is part of her Interstellar Brides Series. The book can easily be read as a stand alone, yes there are a few cross overs to book one and two where you could read snippets about Dani.
Danielle Gunderson, a fierce woman is already on Everis to mate with her mate. But he rejects her and wants her to chose another hunter. But Dani doesn´t give up. She hunts him down and what she finds is nothing what she expected. Instinct leads her to him and she discovers he was kidnapped and tormented. Gage is prince among his brethren, he can´t not claim Dani and together they´re looking for his enemies.
His Virgin Princess is another scorching hot, NSFW read by Grace Goodwin. The writing is great and I love the characters and their story.

Gage is a prince who's been kidnapped, tortured, and left to die, with no chance of anyone finding him. But what he doesn't realize is that Danielle is his matched mate and she's out to find him, even if he doesn't want her to. But WHO took him in the first place ?? That's the new question that needs an answer FAST !! Both of their lives depends on it. These two are the prime definition of deserving each other. She a kick ass virgin and he's the mate looking to tame her - bottoms up ... haha. This is another great read by Ms. Grace Goodwin and I look forward to reading her any chance I get. "His Virgin Princess" also includes a quick glance at previous characters too. Quite a bonus you'll enjoy.

I just love this series!
This book is my favorite of the Everis serie, it's well written and with a lot of steamy scenes. It nice to have a strong heroine willing to risk everything for her strong alpha mate. I really enjoyed how the relationship evolve , it is also nice to see some if the previous characters ( don't worries you don't have to read the previous book to understand).
Overall I found this book entertaining, fun, sexy with just the right amount of action.

This is the most fascinating series. It has strong main characters with a great romance plot line, great drama and suspense, as well as really hot scenes. This is part of a series, but can be read alone. Beware though, you'll want to go back and read the rest of the books in the series. Gage and Dani are easy to love and they make you want to learn more about them. On top of that, the ending leaves you happy and wishing there were more. This is a definite read for anyone who likes romance and suspense.

A very good book one I started and was not putting down.Danielle is one very strong-willed human woman she knows her Mate is in trouble even though she has not met him yet. The dreams they share have told her so, she goes to find him, with the help of her human girlfriends and their mates after she finds him she is able to rescue Gage of Everis a prince and her mate. There is suspense, drama, a villlian who will do anything to hurt Gage. I would recommend this book. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Hot and sexy. This one grabs your attention from the start. Dani is part of the Interstellar Brides program from Earth and is set to find her mate. Once she finds Gage holy wow is it hot and heavy. Gage may be her mate but he is also a prince. I love the chemistry between Gage and Dani. Once he returns home be prepared for a little twist that will keep you glued to the page. I couldn't put this one down. Like other Grace Goodwin books this one brings in the sexy factor to go along with the alien worlds.

I totally wasn't expecting this story after the snippets we were given of Dani in books 1 & 2 of The Virgins trio!
In her book Dani is quite the go-getter and no shrinking violet - which I had felt that she came across as in the earlier scenes we saw of her in the first 2 books. I was pleasantly surprised and quite intrigued as to the direction her mating took her AND the other 2 couples from the earlier books.
Enjoyable story and lots of heat (of course) plus action and royalty! Lots to enjoy and a interesting wrap up to the sub-series.

I loved this! His Virgin Princess is the third book in the series but could be read as a standalone. I haven't read the previous books in the "virgins" series but I will be going back and reading them. I loved Gage and Dani. They were great together with their chemistry, connection and hot hot sexy scenes!

I decided to DNF at 20%. This is the 4th book I've tried by this author and they're just not doing it for me. So, I think this was my last attempt. I was hoping for some good alien romance. This book was short and their love story seemed rushed. I wanted more of a slow burn.

Hot ...fun .... Alien(just from another planet but thankfully they spoke English!) Lots of Alpha men on that planet ... yum!

Written in first person, His Virgin Princess is book 3 (although Kindle marks it as book 5, so I am thoroughly confused af🤷♀️) and FINAL in this spinoff series (from the Interstellar Bride Series) and follows the human bride Danielle (aka Dani) Gunderson and her alien mate Royal Hunter Prince Gage from the planet Everis. Everis processes their brides differently from the rest. Instead of being processed and teleported immediately to their matched mate, they are transported in groups to the Touchstone. The Touchstone is the fortress where unclaimed mates were transported and housed, waiting to be matched and claimed by their mates. Gage is a member of the seven, who was kidnapped on his way to the touchstone to claim his marked mate after his mark awakened at her arrival. He was beaten, locked in a cave and left for death. After waiting days to be collected, Dani took matters into her own hands and left the Touchstone to seek out Gage. She found him and saved him, then called on the mates of her friends to help keep him safe from an inside threat. Who I initially thought to be his stepmother, but turned out to be a brother that Gage never knew he had. After claiming her three virginities, Dani wound up pregnant with Gage’s heir. And after finding and killing the traitors, presumably lived happily ever after. I’m glad that Grace decided not to write more books in this virgin series.
I had so many issues with this book, I don’t even know where to begin. For starters, Gage knew where he was being held hostage. So he could’ve easily told Dani where he was at through the dream shares, but instead, chose to tell Danny to forget about him, leave him to die, and find a new mate to live happily ever after with. 🙄 After she tracked and saved him, he insisted on leaving her behind while he returned to the palace and ascended his position on the council of the seven. Of course, she argued and won that argument, but I would have handled it much differently. Instead of coming across clingy and desperate, I would have been like “look, you have two choices, either take me with you and keep me by your side where I belong and you can protect me, or I will return to the touchstone and choose someone who will.” Plain and simple. She made her claim, but had to keep making it. He didn’t fight to keep her not once. Gage did finally hunt and track her down after she had been taken, but that was the first time he went out of his way for her. And she was already pregnant by that point. Gage was originally slated to marry his own step sister before his mark awakened. Which was kinda disturbing, especially considering how close the two were. He was way too protective of his sister for my liking. If I were Dani, that would’ve been enough for me to be like “ew, gross. You know what? Maybe you should marry your sister and leave me out of this family drama.” But no, Dani clawed her way to keeping what was hers. Instead of walking away like a smart woman. But whatever. 🤷♀️
Everians are humanoid, similar in size to humans. What sets them apart from everyone else is their enhanced speed and strength, unfailing instinct for the hunt, strong minds and iron wills, and they are born with a birthmark - their matched mate bearing the exact same mark, their one true mate, and the mark comes alive when they are near, burning like fire when their marked mate is near by. Most Everians can’t conceive unless it is with their one true matched mate. Only one in a hundred are lucky enough to find their marked mate. In order to fully claim a mate, they have to have three types of sex with their mate: oral, anal and vaginal (in that order). Of course, this sacred order seems to only be followed by Everians ON Everis, and not any other time throughout the Interstellar Bride Series.
As I’ve read through this series and all its spin offs, I can attest that the plot is incredibly addictive. I am way too invested in each book, in all its adventure and romance. This book in particular is very confusing when it comes to the chronological order. This book is either 3 or 5, depending on where you look. Either way, just make sure to read this book AFTER all the other Virgin books because this book references a lot of people and events that already took place in those books.
