Intergalactic Dating Agency
When the Intergalactic Dating Agency mistakes a prison ship for their new clients looking for mates, cyborg Kolvin jumps at the opportunity. A new life, with the bonus of a ready-made wife? How can this go badly?
But when Kolvin meets his mate, she winds up not being what he expects.
She drives him crazy. She's not even from his dimension. His Craving, however, wants what it wants, and he finds himself at the mercy of it.
Tina Craige, an astronomer from Earth, is pretty sure she's dead. After all, one does not walk through an excavated arch and wind up in another dimension. Especially not in one where a giant cyborg humanoid wants her as a mate.
When she discovers that he's traumatized from being held prisoner of war, she can't bring herself to abandon him. Not yet.
She has thirty days to accept this giant cyborg as her mate, PTSD and all, or return to her dimension and Earth, as if she'd never left. And never see, or remember, him again.
Will she be able to give up everything for her cyborg mate?

Even when the Intergalactic Dating Agency makes a mistake, the IDA doesn't make a mistake!
When the IDA mistakes a prison ship carrying cyborg POWs for a group of miners and two Earth girls accidentally step through a portal mistakenly placed underwater in a cave, well, it all works out in the end!
A quick, steamy read. Engaging characters. I especially enjoyed meeting the other characters who will be the MCs in the other books of the Most Wanted Alien Brides series.

I was so excited to see this spin off series and am thrilled to say it was a read that had everything in it that I love. Suspense, sweet hot romance and a gamut of emotions to have me inhaling this book in one sitting. That it was an unexpecting mating match with a released POW gave the story some fun depth and also great healing. With the visits of characters from the Galactic Storm series, it is enhanced by reading those books first but it isn't necessary. I'm definitely looking forward to the next book in this series :)

An out of this world must read that’s fantastic. Wonderful characters with great entertainment. ❤️📚👍

This felt incredibly rushed past the editors. So many bad word choices, homonyms that made no sense (water was "waste high..."), and the number of them increased as the story progressed. Then we had odd sentence fragments, as though commas didn't exist. Given the fact that we were supposedly dealing with advanced beings and a damned scientist, the ignorance of basic English and grammar was a harsh contrast. 🙁

Loved the galaxy storm series and was sorry to see that one end. So I'm more than happy that we continue with the intergalactic dating agency with the same alien species( Rhimodians). Especially now it's about the guys that were captured and tested on by the terran's when they were captured during the was between them. You can read this series if you don't have read the previous series, but the story makes way more sense if you do. Some of the characters from the galaxy storm series appear in this series and theres more understanding about how they where captured.
The first book is all about a slight misunderstanding. The dating agency thinks the 3 guys are miners that come to find their mates. Actually these guys are former prisoners. On earth 2 girls walk through a portal and end up at the space station to be mated to huge aliens. They have to live together for 30 days before they can reject their match. And then the story continues. You learn more about Tina the human curvy girl and Kolvin the huge Rhimodian.
I can't tell to much because of spoiling the story to much. But it has everything in it. Suspense, romance, caring for a troubled person, sweet gestures, steamy scenes, a bit of heartbreak and some shocking moments.(the scene with her grandparents was heartbreaking).
Can't wait to read about Gianna and Marcin and looking most forward to the story about Solkan with Vinka.

A bunch of cyborgs were held in a POW camp for some time and they were treated badly to the point where some of them are suffering from PTSD. When they are released and think they are on their way home, the ship ends up being mistaken for clients for the Intergalactic Dating Agency, Kolvin decides to just go for it until he meets his mate and she's not what he expected her to be.
Tina finds a strange arch in a cave and after walking though it she finds herself on an alien planet where they think she's a client looking for an alien mate. When they tell her she has to stay for 30 days and they hope she gives her potential mate a chance, she thinks it's all crazy but she decides to give it a chance.
These two seem like complete opposites but they find a way to get to know one another and even find they have feelings for each other after a while. The only thing really keeping Tina from giving it a real chance was the thought of leaving her parents alone.
I liked the world building and the beginning of the book explaining how the portal gets lost so Tina is able to find it when she does. Though you would think they would have had a better way of finding and retrieving a portal they lost. I really liked the secondary characters and am looking forward to reading more of this series now.

Kolvin has just been released from being a prisoner of war by the Terran Empire. On the way back his ship is mistaken for a miners crew, looking for mates through the Intergalactic Dating Agency. Tina has unintentionally walked through a portal to his world, and she has been selected as his mate. Will they make this work? Or will after the thirty days required by the agency, will Tina go back home?
I love Kolvin. He's had a traumatic incident with the Terran Enpire, and he's lost a lot of time because of them. When he gets mat he'd with Tina, I was hoping it would work, because he seemed liked he was the one who really needed someone. Tina was a little whiny at times for me, but once she gave in with Kolvin, her character changed for the better.
I cant wait to see where the next installment takes us with this agency!

I absolutely love the Rhimodian cyborg stories and was really excited to read about the missing cyborgs who had been held captive by the Terran Emperor. Through a series of mishaps, Kolvin the Rhimodian and Tina from Earth are matched by the Intergalactic Dating Agency. Suffering from PTSD and unable to connect to Master System, the connecting system for all his people, Kolvin feels confused and unsure about why he would be given a mate. Tina is a scientist, and once she gets over her shock is fascinated by everything, especially Kolvin. She has responsibilities back home and has thirty days to make her choice whether to stay or go. I received an advance copy of this book and voluntarily left a review.

IDA: Three for Three!
The Intergalactic Dating Agency continues to widen the options for aliens to find their fated mate through the Agency. This time the space station Disguised Serenity takes care of finding the right couples. But one of the technicians is not careful enough and a portal is realized on Earth several hundred years ago. And the two ladies who come through the portal have no idea what is happening to them. Neither are the three Rhimodian cyborgs, who are supposed to be going back to their home country. Follows a funny story where Kolvin tries to convince Tina that they are meant to be together. Fast paced, likeable characters, realistic emotional reasoning, a wonderful read. Recommended.

The Intergalactic Dating Agency has mistaken a prison ship for their new clients and so two cyborgs jump at the chance to find their mates. One of those is Kolvin but when he meets his mate she is not what he expected. She is not from his dimension but his Craving wants her. Tina Craige is an astronomer from Earth and is finding it hard to accept that it is real. She now has 30 days to accept him as her mate. Can she accept him or will she leave him and go home?
A strange story. Her insistence that she had to go home was very tiresome and detracted from the story between her and him. It was a pleasant enough quick read but not much substance. Contains mature content.

When the Intergalactic Dating Agency mistakes the prison ship for their clients was the best thing to happen to Kolvin(a Rhimodian). Tina (a human) goes for a walk to her favorite place. She finds something different there. When Tina and Kolvin meets neither are sure about each other. Love this book. Couldn't put it down.

I love it. I don't have a lot of time. It kept me turning pages to see where it would go. I had fun reading about how Tina & her friend are trying to figure out what happened & what they are going to do. She is uncertain with family back home she wants to know are taken care of. The Guys are alien prisoners finally being sent home & not too sure what is going on themselves. It's a fun story that I know I will reread many times.
March 25, 2024
This is the first book of the series, so I really wanted something to grab me and make me want to read more. I really liked Kolvin. He was a complete sweetheart. Tina wore my patience thin with the constant reminder that she had to get back home to her grandparents, and that turned out to be a big disappointment. There is lots of potential for this book, with more world-building and a more refined plot development.

Water and Stars
A cute romance between an alien cyborg POW and a human female who accidentally steps in a portal. The world building is interesting,the characters are interesting and the romance was sort of a slow build with the intimacy before the feelings. But I enjoyed it and look forward to Book 2.

Enjoyable Read
I enjoyed this story. It was fun world building and I liked that the heroine was a scientist. I wanted more background on the aliens, the war, etc. Why are they cyborgs? And, as always, a chapter or two to enjoy their happiness, which is rare in romance. I recommend the read!

Great book
I really enjoyed reading this book. A page turner. I was upset with Tina when she chose to go back, but happily she made the right choice in the nick of time.
I can wait for Solkan's book. He sounded like an interesting character, being all grouchy.

Slammer: Most Wanted Alien Brides #1
Interesting book, after reading the book that's about another kind of Alien, I was a little disappointed. There wasn't any of the usual conflict that happens between the couples who are trying to get together. A little bland.

The Master System
Slammer is my first book by Candice Gilmer. It was an enjoyable read, original, with many twists and turns. Wish there were less incomplete sentences and grammatical errors.

DNF at 41%. Very confusing & boring. Weird premise. Using dna to find your perfect mate and teleport them across time and space or dimensions or something. I just didn’t care about any of the characters.

Touching
This story is touching. The characters who suffer from PTSD, have dysfunctional families and learn the one/ones who should’ve protected them and didn’t resonated within me.

This is my first book from this author and it wasn't a bad story. It just didn't have enough substance and I think it could have been edited better. The love between the two main characters felt rushed, I mean from beginning to almost the end was 11 days. Overall, I don't think it was bad and it has a lot of potential.

Entertaining
I liked the characters and the plot. The setting takes place on a space ship where the Earthlings are paired with Cyborgs in an attempt to help them find their true mates. I liked it.

Intergalactic Dating Agency at their best! Tina goes through a portal accidently and then is matched with Kolvin by mistake. Kolvin was returning from a horrible experience with the Terrans. Tina was supposed to be matched with a miner but was matched with Kolvin which, in the end, was her match.
June 16, 2025
This was such a short, sweet alien romance. i wanted more of the MFC caring for her mate when he had flashbacks, as well as wanting more of him learning he was worthy of love. i would happily read 400 pages of this couple.
