Teague Bride Experiment #1
Ramliel
The Yatur sent a spaceship to Earth with a seemingly simple exchange. They would provide humans with advancements in technology for medical and scientific purposes, and the only thing humans had to give in return were women.
When Mia Brown is chosen to travel to Teague to mate with an alien, her normally mundane life is turned upside down and there’s no way out of it. Now, she has no choice but to pack her bags and spend the rest of her life on another planet, far from Earth. Too bad that once she arrives, the new and happy life she was promised is anything but.
Her mate doesn’t want anything to do with her.
Ramliel Takeria has always known his mate was traveling from a distant planet and he’s spent his entire life trying to forget the momentous occasion was fast approaching. The contracted bond wasn’t something he wanted. His father had contracted the union when he was born. Determined to live his life as his own and not shackled to a human, Ramliel vowed to set her up in his childhood home and never cross paths with her.
But a chance meeting between Mia and Ramliel leaves Mia furious that her mate doesn’t recognize her and Ramliel intrigued by the female he has distanced himself from.
Ramliel will do anything to earn his mate’s forgiveness and have her welcome him with open arms.
Their love is short lived when a lie breaks them apart. After heartbreak and pain, can Mia trust Ram with her heart again?

It could’ve been so good...
Let me phrase it like this. None of it made sense. Not the emotonality of the characters. Not even if it'd been an instalove book would it make sense. It follows: he breaks her heart/ignores her, he changes his mind and she stays angry. Then she has sex with him abruptly (no build up before hand. She just launches at him abruptly. It's not hate sex either), he breaks her heart again when he goes off with another woman. Then suddenly he loves her. The premise could’ve worked if it'd been fleshed out and maybe been worked on a bit more. As is, it's mind-boggling how the heroine behaves. It's like massive hunks of the story is missing.
Just no. Nope. Disappointing.

Ramliel de A.M. Griffin serie The Teague Bride Experience (Intergalactic Dating Agency) libro 1
Argumento:
El Yatur envió una nave espacial a la Tierra con un intercambio aparentemente simple. Proporcionarían a los humanos avances en tecnología con fines médicos y científicos, y lo único que los humanos tenían para dar a cambio eran las mujeres.
Cuando se elige a Mia Brown para viajar a Teague para aparearse con un extraterrestre, su vida normalmente mundana se pone patas arriba y no hay forma de salir de ella. Ahora, no tiene más remedio que hacer las maletas y pasar el resto de su vida en otro planeta, lejos de la Tierra. Lástima que una vez que llegue, la nueva y feliz vida que le prometieron sea todo lo contrario.
Su pareja no quiere tener nada que ver con ella.
Ramliel Takeria siempre ha sabido que su pareja viajaba desde un planeta lejano y ha pasado toda su vida tratando de olvidar que la ocasión trascendental se acercaba rápidamente.
El vínculo contraído no era algo que él quisiera. Su padre había contraído la unión cuando nació. Decidido a vivir su vida como si fuera suya y no encadenado a un humano, Ramliel prometió instalarla en la casa de su infancia y nunca cruzarse con ella.
Pero un encuentro casual entre Mia y Ramliel deja a Mia furiosa porque su pareja no la reconoce y Ramliel intrigado por la mujer de la que se ha distanciado.
Ramliel hará cualquier cosa para ganarse el perdón de su pareja y hacer que ella lo reciba con los brazos abiertos.
Su amor es de corta duración cuando una mentira los separa. Después de la angustia y el dolor, ¿podrá Mia volver a confiar en Ram con su corazón?
Mí humilde opinión:
Durante toda la lectura no hice más que apretar los dientes, sí! Por la bronca!
A ver, la historia empezó bien, o sea, me gustaba y pensé que sería interesante ver lo que hacía Mia en un planeta desconocido y con un marido alien que no la quiere pero... No fue para nada interesante, más bien me enfadó. Mia por ser débil y perdonar como si nada las metidas de pata de Rem, y a Rem por ser un completo idiota, esas lágrimas y oliendo la camiseta de Mia todo arrepentido? Debía emocionarme y perdonarlo? Pfff solo quería patearlo por bobo!
Todo el tema del embarazo falso de Verona y Rem creyéndole sin pruebas? Vamos, después de que ella faltó va tantas citas de control con el médico debió pensar un poco y darse cuenta que era todo un engaño desde el comienzo. Solo bastó un cabello de ella para hacer un análisis y descubrir la verdad, en serio?!
No me gustó que él tuviera una amante cuando ya tenía una pareja viajando a su mundo para conocerlo, tenía un contrato de matrimonio y él lo arruinó por la amante de la cuál ya estaba aburrido! Y luego descarta a Mia porque Verona estaba supuestamente embarazada de su hijo y tenía que formar una familia con ella!?
En fin, una historia molesta con protagonistas molestos y situaciones ridículas.

What he did wasn't really forgivable
There was a good amount of tension built into this, but it really pulled you in. I liked Mia but never really liked Ram. Well, I liked Mia until she gave in to Ram really easily. He didn't meet her when her ship came in and refused to see her at all. This was in the blurb. What wasn't in the blurb is that he was living with his girlfriend the entire time, sleeping with her while he was legally considered married to Mia. So her choices are limited because she is his wife, but he isn't limited at all. And he didn't hide the girlfriend either, so everyone knew he was cheating. Then he spots Mia, has no idea who she is, but is attracted to her and stupidly learns she's his wife and decides he wants her.
I get he didn't choose this, but that is no reason to blatantly and publicly humiliate a woman he doesn't know. Then he just expected her to welcome him with open arms, after cheating on her. He blocks her from leaving by threatening her friends and their mates. So he is manipulating her and her life to suit him. She fights it for a few days, but gives in. Then when she has truly drank the idiot kool aid, he leaves her again, but she immediately thinks she did something wrong and wants to fix it. She just had no back bone when she needed one and showed it when it wasn't necessary. This was a big turn off. I kept hoping she would make him earn her, but if he just looked miserable she wanted to make it all better. He cheated on her for the first months of their marriage! It was like that wasn't a deal breaker. Cheating isn't okay, and it wasn't really dealt with to make their relationship stronger.

Need more answers
Left with so many questions. Like how did the females deal with waking up knowing everyone they loved was dead. How did the aliens find earth when it was 200 years away? How did they keep in contact with their planet? How did they choose the females mates?
Ram wasn’t redeemable to me he threw fits and gave little thought to those he hurt in the process. Mia was better than me! Because there would be no way I would take him back so fast! So many things I wish this book was longer and had more details. I am going to keep reading the series I’m hoping the next stories explain more.

Attraction does not a relationship make or mess ups fix
I thought the world building for this was interesting and had potential. Mia was a normal woman with abandonment issues. But Ram? He sucked.
The redemption arc was nonsensical. I thought the initial redemption arc should have been the focus, since there was already enough for them to work through. I have a hard time buying their romance at all.

DNFd at 64%. I skimmed a lot as a significant amount was descriptive of everything. I stuck with it since it’s a rejected mate trope and I like those. “MAKE him grovel” her friend says. She caves within 2 pages. Nope. I’m done.

no. Just a bunch of no’s. Honestly it could have the potential to be good but I just can’t dig the main character.

OMG Not a chance with a MMC like this one
Take one human female forced into a two-hundred-year journey in stasis to an alien planet where she will meet and mate an alien male that won't even be born until a few decades before the end of her trip. Add an alien boy forced into a mating contract by his father, and the kid decides he has no interest in some alien female being shipped to his planet (that he is already legally bound to) and will be required to mate once she finally arrives in a few more years.
Stir vigorously with a series of vids the kid is required to make for her along the way, ending with one in which he rejects her sight-unseen and says hurtful things. By the time she arrives along with all the other Earth brides, Mia's unsure what her future holds--but her mate apparently isn't it.
The Ramliel who is NOT waiting for her is basically a billionaire pig. She watches every other human woman depart with their mates--and is finally collected by an assistant. Taken to the family home Ramliel no longer lives in, she's largely a prisoner in a nicely-appointed cage with no power over her own life.
Ramliel has a mistress from another planet, since none of the infertile ladies of his own planet will fool around with an unfaithful creep who has no qualms about ditching the unwanted human mate he is bound to. It is only many weeks later that they meet entirely by accident, and you'll never guess what happens.
Not only does he get one look at her and is ready to dump the bombshell mistress he brought to the event where he finally meets his mate, he's supposedly overcome with desire and warm feelings for Mia. He pursues Mia, manages to get her to sleep with him (just NO)--and is then told by his mistress that his affair with her has resulted in her pregnancy. He dumps Mia in order to protect and care for his unborn child and the mistress mother.
Is your head spinning yet? I won't bother telling you the rest--but if you like stories with an unfaithful idiot MMC who thinks only with his package and an insecure MFC who's willing to quickly abandon her principles in order to get another shot at the afore-mentioned package, then this is the story for you!!
BLECH. No way I'm reading more of this series, no way I'm applauding this couple. I already feel sorry for any fictional kids they'd ever pop out.

Cute. Predicatable but cute. The MMC was an oblivious ass but quick to correct when he realized it. This is a very quick and easy read.

At first I was going to give it 2 stars, but then I was like… why? The mmc was literally never likable. Had no redeeming qualities. Is literally a fuckboy who left his mail order bride at the airport. Ghosted her entirely I was barely sympathetic for him losing parents. And then you have the fmc who literally never has any backbone. There was so much that could have been salvaged a lot along the way:
There was a weird month buffer which doesn’t give enough time to build out other plots. She could have started seriously dating as well. Or made a new fulfilling life for herself after he ghosted her. They didn’t go into her job enough, or give her new friends, or have her going out.
They should have actually gotten separated. He should have dissolved it and then had to pursue her again. At least that would have put him in meaningful pursuit.
After the whole other woman drama, I wanted to scream. Literally zero repercussions for this asshole. I get that you wanted to go out and fuck around but you also KNEW you had someone’s life in your hands. You could have dissolved it. Wtf. I wanted months of grovel. She gave in after like five days. It was so stupid.
Oh and then there’s a fucking baby at the end. Because this is a happy healthy relationship. /s

4&1\2terrific 🌟s for book 1 of the Teague Bride Experiment💖💖
I really enjoy A.M Griffin I've read several of her books so picking up this one was a no brainer. Once again solid world building with great characters that really reveal who they are the story progresses. Mia is a trauma nurse whose life is about to totally change. When the Teague sent a space ship to earth and offer technology for possible brides the governments of Earth jump at the opportunity even if some of the women don't want to be apart of the exchange. Mia is one such woman she finds out quick that having a choice is not in the cards. She packed up and tossed aboard the alien craft a!omg with many others. They all find out together that it will take 200 years to reach their destination and they will be put in stasis for the journey. When she comes too she has her contracted mates videos d ok early childhood on to watch before she finally get to the planet. What she learns hurts her deeply and when she gets to the planet her mate Ram is no where to be found her once hope of making the best of her situation slowly dies. Ram resents having his whole life planned out for him he doesn't want an Earth mate and he does everything he can to forget he has one on the way. Even when she arrives he's not there to meet her. A chance encounter with Mia makes him do a 180 degree turn and he changes his mind about his mate. But is it too late ? There is more than one obstacle in his path can be overcome them and show Mia how wrong he was and how much he truly loves her! Read and find out! I will say there were times I wanted to punch Ram and then turn around and hug him. As things are revealed you can understand why he does things that make you want to hit him and you can't help but fall a bit in love with him. I'm looking forward to the next book. If your looking for something short with just enough angst , passion and a hea give this a shot!💖💖💖💖🔥🔥🔥🔥💖💖🔥🔥💖💖💖💖🔥💖🔥💖🔥💖🔥🔥💖🔥💖🔥💖💖🔥🔥💖🔥💖🔥💖🔥💖💖💖🔥💖🔥💖💖🔥🔥💖💖🔥🔥💖💖

This had potential but could have been better.
It was interesting that the women had to travel 200 years in stasis to reach their new home. If the Yatur are having population problems, this time scale is too long (400 year round trip). They pilot this with 4,000 Earth women but are other trips planned? Or was this a one-time thing?
I didn't really connect with Mia or Ramliel. He was a pretty big jerk and behaved so immaturely. I almost stopped reading right there.
Not sure yet if I will continue with next book

Heavenly
The Yatur sent a ship to Earth promising to give technical advancements for medical n scientific purposes in exchange for human brides. At first volunteers were asked to apply for the bride program but later it became mandatory for all unmarried females between the ages of 18-45 to register, the reasoning, entrants needed to be RH negative.
Mia worked in the hospital, she received her notice after her shift ended but never opened the letter until a few days later. It read: Thank you for
volunteering for the Teague Bride Program!! ( Yeah, right!! What a joke.)
Ram is just a child as he's told to record a daily video for his human mate to view as the ship returns to Teague. He rebels n makes a devastating nasty video., Mia watches these videos after she awakens from stasis on the last leg of journey to the planet.
What a total mess that gets even worse when he never shows to retrieve her at the assigned arrival site.

Unique and Creative Storyline
I'm just gonna say it: Ram was a dick for most of the book. YET, I read it in one sitting and had to keep reading to see what would happen - which goes to show the writing was in an engaging, well-placed manner for sure. There are some typos here and there throughout the whole read, but you just figure out what was meant. Even at 88% in the book, Ram continued to fail our heroine who was thrust into this life unwillingly but constantly continued to try and make the best of her situation. Just know you might be frustrated, angry, and sad for almost the entirety of the book experiencing the unfairness all right alongside our main character. The insights from Ram did give us some reprieve here and there. The story overall is very interesting and uniquely done, and though I was mad while reading it, with the way it summed up I'm not mad that I read it.

Relatable
Set in the future, on a planet far, far away, Mia from Earth arrives to meet her contracted mate, Ramliel.
Only to be ignored and essentially discarded, even if she has a beautiful home and anything she desires.
Ramliel did not want a mate that had been selected for him. So he stayed away.
But a chance encounter forced Ram to discover the human he thought was the bane of his existence was everything he desired, maybe more.
Finally coming together for one night of perfect harmony, their future is torn apart by a lie.
A.M. Griffin takes a situation that is not uncommon and spun it into a very good alien/human romantic entanglement. I enjoyed the read immensely.

I loved it
A great story. Full of laughs, and some sadness. Jealousy, and sneaky females. A bad situation, made a decision for the promise of children, turns a then, very young Ramiel, bitter, and resentful. Mia, who never wanted to be selected, decides to accept what she can't change, and make a new start. Only to find herself living a very comfortable, but lonely life. How she adapts, with her intelligence, and quick wit ,makes a really enjoyable read. How Ram has to work to undo his mistakes, is funny, and he really has made some lame mistakes, repeatedly. There are eventually some steamy things, but he really has to work for it. Lol.

Not the same
This novel was different, and was confused during some of it. The rime line for one. If it took 200 years to travel, why was Ram in his 30s? Then there was Lina who didn’t make sense and made him look like a wimp. I almost put the book down. Then she forgave him time and again with no repercussions on his behalf which was not realistic. There were editin errors but didn’t take away from the story. I really love this author, just not this story.

Then there was Lina who didn’t make sense and made him look like a wimp. I almost put the book down. Then she forgave him time and again with no repercussions on his behalf which was not realistic. There were editin errors but didn’t take away from the story. I really love this author, just not this story.

This premise was cool and intriguing
So it takes 200 years for an earth woman to get to Teague to be a mate for these fuzzy aliens, and her mate isn’t even chosen till 30 years before she gets there. So this little alien boy is locked into a mate that is floating around in space on her way there. The things going through both of their minds is enormous. Then it all blows up for Mia and Ramliel. This tale was far more emotional than I expected but a impressive roller coaster read.

Mia lost her parents, found a way by herself then gets chosen for the Teague Bride Experiment. Ramliel didn't like that his father chose the experiment to give him a mate, and when his father passes, his sorrow makes him ignore Mia when she arrives. 2 hurt, stubborn souls find they are truly meant for each other. I only wish there had been an epilogue showing them happy with a family a few years on.

Ram and Mia💞💞💞
I so loved this, this is the first book I've read by this author but not the last. Loved the friendship Mia has with Lina and Diana. Mia and Ramliel are matched as mates from the time he is born even though he on the planet Teague and Mia is on earth. Ram's bed warmer was ridiculous😜😜, even in outer space they try to scheme and steal your mate.😂😂😂. Kudos to the author👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. I've already purchased the second book in the series.

Fun read
I’m a big fan of A.M. Griffin. This was a fun read and I’ll be reading the next 2 in this series. She’s great at writing angst filled romance with out it going over board.

I Don’t Want You
Wow. This was one emotional alien romance! I thought Aran was a spoiled brat and felt so sorry for poor Mia. Words can leave a lasting wound but he redeemed himself in the end. I gave it 5 stars because my emotions were all over the place. Great job A. M. Griffin.

Gripped from the beginning
Normally there is a slow build up to a relationship - this one starts close to 200 years before the male is born. Fortunately there is not a lot of whining and woe is me, just 2people who have to work it out.

So many emotions!
This book dealt with so many emotions and I was tearing up near the end because they were so well written!
There were a few spelling mistakes but they were easy to ignore.
Looking forward to reading the next book now!

This was interesting but there were a lot of grammatical errors and The protagonist forgives him way too fast he f***** u* major and sends couple videos and all is forgiven. That's a mention there's not a lot of world building we're told it's an icy snowy planet but pretty much nothing else

Hairy Aliens
I really enjoyed this book!
Being sent into outer space to be an intergalactic bride isn't everyone's cup of tea, and Mia is no exception.
I look forward to the next book!
