Mates of the Mylos #1
Braevan
Chitose
When our parents died, I thought for sure my university days were over. I had a younger brother to look after, and he needed me. I couldn't turn him over to someone else just so I could work more hours in order to attend classes at least part-time. The Mylos scholarship program's expansion to include gay males sounded just the ticket! I currently didn't have a boyfriend, so there was no one to object to them checking if I was a one in a gazillion chance match to one of their warriors. The scholarship money would pay for my schooling, housing, and provide a stipend for food and other expenses for us both. It was too good to pass up. It was the solution to most of our current problems, I was sure of it.
Braevan
When the Bride Treaty's program was expanded to include males such myself, my hearts and mind became filled with hope. Was my mate one of the males below, thirsting for knowledge and open to finding their forever love? Matches were rare, and I knew that the odds of it happening were only one out of so many billions. One chance in however large a number was still one, though, not zero, and so every single day, I gaze out the windows as I walk down the corridors to my duty station. Please, let him be there. I am ready, my arms and hearts open.

Nice story, but totally spoiled by the absolute lack of any proofreading what so ever. Even a basic spell check would of cleared up at least half of the almost 200 mistakes I flagged while reading.
Honestly I HATE giving bad reviews, but this level of sloppiness is completely inexcusable.

This is the first of Leona's books I've read and I'm hooked.
Young Chitose has the responsibility of looking after his young brother Haru after the untimely death of their parents. Chitose goes without while working long hours in two jobs and trying to study as well, but slowly the pressure is taking its toll on him. He is terrified to learn that his aunt wants Haru to go live with her and has had a neighbor making false accusations to the landlord that result in the two boys being evicted from their apartment. In desperation Chitose applies to the Mylos for assistance and his and Haru's life changes forever. But what of the aunt and uncle. Are the two boys's problems over or are they just beginning. And what power does Braevan have to help these two young men who very quickly become very precious to him.
I was absolutely addicted to this book within the first two pages. My interest such that I couldn't put the book down and will now go looking for more by Leona.
Thoroughly recommend.

Spelling grammer
The book needs to be proofed read. Spacing in words ie "t he" is profound all through the book. The flow of the story is slow.

I thought this was a good start to a new series. Chitose and Haru were at the end of their rope and Chitose chose to seek out a Mylos mate by giving his DNA. The story was short, setting up their world and giving a glimpse of what that entailed. I will be interested in seeing how the next to books in the works answer all the questions that were left.

Good short read
This was a good short story that had everything you could want from a villain to a hero. Chitose was a great older brother trying to do right by his little brother. When he is backed into a corner he chooses to apply for a scholarship that may find him a mate. This mate will actually be an alien but he will do anything for his brother and to keep him away from their aunt. In walks our hero, Brae. Being fated mates in his world is the same as the paranormal world. Once you find your mate, they are the only one for you. The only complaint I have about this book is the editing! There are incomplete words, sentences that words were left in that should have been removed, incorrect spelling, incorrect punctuation etc. Otherwise it is a good short read.

Life was just really taking a dump on these brothers...
...until you find out it wasn't life after all.
Spoiler? I hope not seeing as it's never really *a mystery* who the perpetrator(s) to the boys' hard times are. But moving on.
First I have to start off by saying that when I first saw this book I was over the moon when I read the blur. Why? Well, because I was a fan of the Brides of the Kindred series by Evangeline Anderson and this is a very similar idea (aliens looking for mates who make a treaty to get them from Earth) except that this is M/M, so this was something I was already into with a twist. In other words without reading anything else ***I was in*** VERY in, because for about the 13 to 16 books of that other series I really dug the general premise so the same concept but make it MM was just a big YES from me.
Okay that out of the way, admitting my previous fan status isn't just random trivia I'm bringing it up to point out that I went into this with a certain bias and that'll matter in a bit but for now let me list some pros about this book.
Firstly, the plot that has to do with the nosy neighbor and the insufferable aunt were something I hadn't seen in this type of book so I have to tip my hat to it. That the conflict was resolved offscreen is a tad off putting because it feels like the potential was wasted, in general, but that the mind that could come up with a technological advance called a kunnarskyn (tell me that isn't a banging name?) and an Easter Elf (from another book by this author but still creative) couldn't do more with the plot? I'm disappointed. But we're talking pros so back to those, which incidentally I've already sort of mentioned one in that I really liked some story elements like the tech (this *is* a sci-fi book so it's somewhat to be expected) however cool names aside I also tip my hat to what some of the tech just does (dishwashers but the scraps are like recycled on a molecular level, say what??) and the Star Trek references just tickled me. Storywise I also liked the mentality: “It’s part of being Mylos. If there is a need, it is met.”
Another huge pro are the characters, overall they were well written.
Haru's characterization was very realistic with his worries over not wanting to be a nuisance to his new brother “in case he decided I was really annoying or something.” I'm of the opinion that sort of thinking was right on with the sensitive kind of kid he came off as. I also loved that Haru and Chitose were really there for each other, from Haru being supportive of the new alien romantic partner to Chitose putting Haru first to the point that the elder got anemia while the younger didn't (not that not taking care of yourself is cool but sacrificing to benefit your little bro is sweet). And speaking of him, Chitose is my fave of the three mains, I really liked how he was relatably like a tired singe parent just trying his best and also how he knew what he was signing up for and took getting matched like someone mature who made a choice. He reasoned that the benefits far outweighed the 'hey you're married and you'll be living in space' aspect of it. Which ties nicely into yet another pro that unlike the Kindred series this was low (debatably nonexistent) angst.
And with that I'm out of pros... Sort of.
Now I have to point out that this has insta-love. I've never been much of a fan of insta-love however it's just largely part of this genre so I'm not counting it as a con in and of itself but it's also not completely a pro... My point is that the insta-love aspect is a personal con but how this book handled it nudges it almost into pro territory. Let my explain. Chitose makes “an argument” for his mate's instant attachment that I rather liked: “Dragons were notorious for feeling possessive of what was theirs. It explained so much, to me, anyway. I knew that he wasn’t a real dragon, because those didn’t exist. But, the similarities to this mythical creature helped me fully accept his sudden deep attachment to me and Haru, his urge to claim me as his mate, and my own ever deepening feelings of him being mine.” However that also shows a bit of my problem, later Chitose again talks about it and here his own “excuse” was a little more flimsy:“Sometime during these turbulent few days, he’d become my anchor, my lover, and my…oh, God, my everything. He and Haru were my everything and if I had to give him up now, I didn’t know what I would do.” It's not the worst and I appreciate that it's presented as a realization that snuck up on him. I simply reserve the right to want more for him than 'OMG I love him when did that happen?' and not all that much to back it up expect “romance” (he took you bowling= he's a keeper?) Anyway, I hope those quotes illustrate why this book's “insta-love” makes a somewhat reasonable argument to have those quotation marks and also why my point about it is a murky con not quite pro.
Now it's real con time.
One of the things I didn't like about the Kindred series is that its giant warrior men are like LOVERS of women, as in sometimes in a stupidly worshipful way. Not that women aren't deserving of some reasonable adoration but let me emphasize **reasonable**; kissing the ground someone walks on simply because of their sex is... well, it's a choice? Yeah. So here's where my confessed bias starts to play a part. That the starring pair of this book isn't straight gets an A++ just off the bat. That the mylos of this series are seemingly a race whose greatest aspiration is to have a mate/young is just personally, meh. Like I'm overjoyed you're straight and not straight in this universe but live full and balanced lives guys! And if you haven't caught on this is why I mentioned my particular bias right from the start: I probably liked this a lot more than I would've if I wasn't constantly comparing. It's also because of my bias that I can imagine but can't be completely sure of that so... you were warned.
My next con is something I already touched on and that is that I think this could've had some more plot. Sure the 'oh no what could've caused their terrible situation' bit *was* somewhat out of the box but that the conflict was resolved off to the side instead of somehow playing a more direct part was like I said, disappointing. So much so I considered having the title of this review be “Life was just really taking a dump on these brothers... then things got better and that's it” because it is sort of *that's it.* Sure this genre doesn't typically lend itself to deep philosophical plots but for all that the Kindred series has its faults something I have to give it is that it often had bits of interesting plot elements that kept hooking me in (I didn't just *accidentally* read more than a dozen of them after all) while reading the next one of this series is something I'm much more disinclined to do (if it fell into my lap, sure, but otherwise it's probably a pass).
Another con is that this could've used a touch more beta reading, copy editing and just editing in general as it had sentences like “reported the report” and “I must have been way tireder than I thought”(tireder isn't formally correct in written English but I suppose you can get away with it in spoken English however I'd argue using the word gives an impression you have to *really* contemplate is the one you're after and I'm not so sure it's the right fit for this book but I'm not the author). In that vein there's also plenty of instances of missing letters or off spacing that for example make 'they' into 'thy' or 'he' into 'h e' or just 'e' which speaks to either something happening with the editing and/or the formatting but either way doesn't put the book in the most flattering of lights.
Speaking of things that might happened, the errant aunt/uncle plot point aside there are other story points in this book that as a beta I would've pointed out so I have to question what happened because the author obviously cared enough to have a cover that looks like it was paid for made so I'm really left puzzled why the same effort didn't seem to be extended towards to other areas.
However as much as I started this last point as a con, don't misunderstand me, this wasn't a bad read. For the genre it was quite acceptable, I simply think that with some extra polishing it could've been just that little bit better that would've left me ravenous for the next book in the series instead of relatively indifferent.
Cons and all, I still appreciated the spirit of the story and overall I enjoyed it, perhaps more than I would've without my bias but I'd like to think the sweetness would've won the day regardless.
To finish off this review I would recommend this if what you're after is a light fated mates HEA but otherwise it's unlikely to sate as it's cute but nothing extraordinary (hence why I rate it a middle-of-the-road 3 stars).

Mark Twain once wrote that "a tale shall accomplish something and arrive somewhere." This novella does not do that. There is a poor orphan who struggles to provide for his much-younger brother, so he applies to be mated to an alien in exchange for a stipend and scholarship. He is immediately matched, mated the same day, and that easily and instantly solves all his problems. Such as there is a plot, that is it in its entirety.
There are many underdeveloped scenes that are not necessary to the tale, accomplish nothing, go nowhere, and don't even contribute to character development (of which none exists). There are several characters that, to allude again to Mark Twain's rules of fiction-writing, fail to exhibit a sufficient excuse for being in the story. These assorted characters simply play no particular role in the story but are just there, apparently wondering what they're supposed to be doing.
The spelling, grammar, and proofreading are atrocious. I have read worse novellas, but not by much.

Cute and fast
Starts off NOTHING like a sci-fi book normally would. Some fantastic character set up showing just how hard the older brother is working to make sure his little brother is doing okay.
The title of this book is the name of the alien whom becomes our heroe's mate, but he doesn't have much to do with most of the story.
Anyway four stars instead of five for not explaining there was an alien race until the older brother was in possible trouble; as well as graphic sex scenes that didn't need to be included. Apparently sex with your mate is how to permanently cement the bond, but it doesn't work until the Jumps is fully transformed. And he never fully transfor.s in the book nor do they have the necessary sex, so the two blatant sex scenes did not add to the overall story.
Have fun!!

2.5 stars
While I liked the story, the abysmal lack of proofreading before publishing this book was unforgivable. I can understand the occasional misspelling, or sentence fragment, but this book is rife with errors that a simple proofreading would have caught. Up, spelled ‘u[‘; new and now spelled ‘nw’; and ‘the [insert noun]’ mistyped as ‘th e[noun]’.
I was also a bit disappointed that the aunt and uncle were so despicable, and yet ended up being such an insignificant part of the story.
This had so much potential, from the blurb, and it just didn’t live up to what it could have been.

💕A very pleasant surprise.
Student Chitose came home from work late, paying attention to the slightest noise, not wanting to alert her gossipy old neighbor, always on the lookout for the slightest problem...
His little brother Haru was already asleep.
Chitose had been the only one taking care of him since his parents disappeared...
----
A surprising science fiction romance recounting the misadventures of a courageous young man.
A pleasant read, I was surprised by the quality of the story.
(Unlike other readers, I didn't see any mistakes. They surely have been corrected since 2021).
I highly recommend it.

Could have been better
The premise for the story was interesting, but must agree with other reviewers that the extensive grammatical errors resulted in difficulty reading this story. The errors took away focus from the story. I would like to read the next story in the series but the story must be edited properly before release.

Good Story
I was seen enjoying the strip storyline in IM until I came to what was considered the ending. No epilog and the story just flat out stopped. Pretty crappy way to end a decent storyline. Your left hanging as to what they do next.

The premise sounded interesting, however the execution was just meh.
Basically no world building to speek of.
Insta love.
Problems get solved in seconds, because the aliens are just great like that.
And don't get me started on all the typos/missing words/wrong words.

This book suffered from being a bit too short and lack of good editing. I always hate when an author puts out a book with so many typos that could have been fixed by just having someone proof read the story before publishing. It also left a few dangling plot threads that based on the blurb for the next book, I don’t think are going to be resolved. Seeing how this book is not part of KU, I’m not sure I will buying more books in the future.

There is no world building. All of a sudden there are aliens who offer a chance for a better life but it comes out of left field. The story was nice so I’m giving it a 3 but I would have like to know more about why and how the Mylos came to be there.

I really liked this. It had really interesting world building and fun characters. The problem was that there wasn’t much story. Plus it ends on a bit of a cliffhanger, but it doesn’t appear that the next book is about the same characters. Great premise, but a bit disappointing.

Not usually into the alien romances…but the Mylos are cool! I hope to find out more about the aunts secrets and see the other males find their mates as well! Brae, chi, and haru are so cute!!

Hate giving bad reviews. But even as a non English speaker my eyes were bleeding from the clear lack of proofreading.

This didn’t interest me at all.

The story focuses more on day to day stuff like eating breakfast and going bowling. Would have loved a bit more developed romance or characterization.

Felt like a Cenderfella story, rags to riches with his new alien mate, and the family’s evil aunt. I did like how finding their mate was done via DNA matches. Overal, an OK read.

I have always loved science fiction and this was a really good and interesting story.

An enjoyable way to pass an afternoon, but is a relatively lackluster interpretation of the genre and tropes. So, if you really like the archetype, its enjoyable, but otherwise ho-hum.
