Olivia never expected the intergalactic wedding of the century to be so bloody… or that a scarred alien prince would rescue her from near-death.
Olivia Harper has always hated weddings—a fact made worse when terrorists attack the royal alien wedding she’s attending. She’s injured in the fight, only to be rescued by a seven-foot tall, horned alien who makes her heart flutter. To make him even more attractive, he’s not only a bad-boy medic but a real-life prince.
Prince Eryx Yio’hyra has spent the last three years in exile, serving as a healer on war-torn planets. When he returns for his brother’s wedding, the worst he expects to happen is terrible dancing and cheesy speeches. But a surprise attack turns his homecoming into a war zone and leaves him stranded on a space station with an injured human guest—a beautiful female who ignites a desire in him like nothing else.
With Olivia’s injury worsening as the terrorists close in on their location, she and Eryx are forced to work together to survive. If they succeed, will Olivia take a chance on the alien prince whose kisses leave her longing for more? Or will surviving the space station mean the destruction of their bond… and their lives?
Eryx is the second book in the Bride to an Alien Prince series. This full-length story has on-the-page heat, a guaranteed happily-ever-after, and no cheating. While each book has a standalone romance, the series includes an overarching action plot and should be read in order for maximum enjoyment.

Life of the party
What an absolutely amazing first experience with this author! I know it’s not the first book in the series, and I can’t wait to go back and start from the beginning, but this book is full of the best characters, plenty of action, and an ending that brought tears to my eyes. I fell in love with these two sweethearts that found love when they least expected it, and against all odds became heroes along the way to their HEA. This book is the perfect weekend read and I can’t wait to see what the author comes up with next!

Eryx and Olivia
This is turning into a great series. Didn't take Olivia long to melt just looking at Eryx. Loved the way the story progressed not only with the love story but the way the action panned out along with the HEA. Don't want to spoil it for you, but safe to say 5 stars from me.

Worthiness
As allies gather to attend the wedding of Lexi and Anax, sabotage is happening by the evil ex-king.
Olivia is the maid of honor and Eryx is the best man. They are pulled to each other but neither one wants a relationship or even feels worthy of one. But when things fall apart these two are drawn together. Their thoughts may change for the better when life and death situations keep happening.

Wow. Eryx has had a rough history having been sold to slavers by his own father for refusing to abuse and kill others. He escaped by fighting his way out of horrible situations and helped others as he could along the way. Now he is back with his family since his father, the king, was removed from power. He is trying to figure out what his future will be when they are attacked by soldiers his father paid to kill them all. So starts the story of Eryx meeting his life mate which he never thought would happen and does not believe that he deserves. Very interesting plot with many twists and turns. I loved Eryx and Olivia. Their characters were realistic, protective of others, and willing to fight for what is right. The world building was fascinating with the technology, the different planets, spaceships, alien types, and cultures required to make the story work. Very nice story that was well written.

I loved this and it is one that I know I will read again. Eryx has a past that he would love to forget but whether he chooses to see it or not, it has made him a far better male than the would otherwise have been coseted, pampered and dare I say it naive? He has some dark things to come to terms with which make him reluctant to truly accept Olivia as the gift she is. Having said that Olivia is her own person and is not about to become someone else's possesion. She is determined, capable and has the strength to stand up for herself when she needs to. You really do see the vulnerabilities in both of which make them such a great pair. Lots of action and plotting which keeps it all alive not to mention the odd bit of steam! Really wonderful read.

A great read. Loved Olivia and Eryx's story. What a start, wedding, bloodshed, terrorists of sorts. Olivia fancied Eryx from the start, feeling a draw, as did Eryx, unsure why. Olivia ends up shot but taken by Eryx to the med center. Anax and his mate flee as do most of the guests. There is much going on in the background as they grow together. Threats against lives and dear old nasty Dad reappears! Anax arrives in time to save the day and allow for Eryx and Olivia to be together finally. I had hoped that the damage she suffered would not be so severe but loved that they added to their family and future. Now for Prax. :)

This was so good. Eryx had endured so much at the hand of his rotten Father King Xenobaccus. (Too bad they didn't throw him out the airlock). He has gone back to Herkleian and now is headed to The Queen Avra space station for his brother Anaxs wedding to Lexi a human. Olivia Lexi's best friend is there an when she sees Eryx her world turns upside down. Eryx knows that he can't touch Olivia as he's scared that he will never want to let her go. There is so much action, drama, death, violence, betrayal, and love. Eryx finds that after saving Olivia's life twice they both have the marks of the matebond granted from the Goddess Hyra. I highly recommend this story. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Olivia is aboard a space station for the wedding of her best friend Lexi and her alien fiance Anax. When his brother Eryx arrives they both feel intense desire and when they touch the mate bond mark shows. Unfortunately the wedding is a disaster as they are attacked. Olivia is shot in the stomach and Eryx has to save her there instead of sending her with the wedding party. The station is held hostage and Olivia is hurt again, Eryx has to save her life. While waiting for reinforcements, Eryx's dad arrives and gives him an ultimatum, betrays his brother or lose his mate.
This has lots of action, steamy scenes and a happily ever after ending.

Get ready for quite a ride on this roller coaster. So much action and finding a mate besides it all. People are assembling on a station for a royal wedding. Eryx is there for his brother and Olivia is there for her best friend. Suddenly a group of terrorists, hired by the ousted king, attacks as they were hired to kill everyone at the wedding. Eryx finds Olivia hurt and protects her, as they both start to have feelings for each other but fight it because of their pasts. The romance builds as the marks of mate get stronger. Loved the storyline and characters. I could not put down this book. Will be reading more by this author soon.

Eryx has been through a lot.. betrayed by his father banished to a place that he had to toughen up to survive. He doesn’t think he is worthy of a female especially Olivia. She is sweet and independent,loyal and loving. Eryx is a big teddy bear, alpha hole when needed. They meet at his brothers and her best friends wedding. (Read the first book!) the wedding is interrupted and Eryx saves his mate.. I won’t go into too much detail because you should read the book yourself! It’s a great second book for this series! HEA! I can’t wait to read book 3!!

Enjoyable story which is about Prince Eryx Yio’hyra who attends his brother's wedding (The Groom) and Olivia Harper who is attending her best friend Lexi's wedding (The Bride). When hanging with her friend Lexi getting ready for the wedding, she sees Eryx who she finds very attractive hanging around and asks "Who is he?". Then they get introduced to each other, they discover the attraction goes both ways. When the commotion occurs at the wedding and Olivia gets hurt, Eryx saves her. What occurs afterward in this enjoyable sci-fi romance was a engaging story I volunteer to read and review via Booksprout.

This is Olivia and Eryx's story. This pair butt heads right from the start, rubbing each other the wrong way. Mostly because they feel such attraction to each other, but fighting it.
It takes a deadly attack at the wedding of her friend to the new King, for realisation to hit Eryx.
All his energies go on keeping her alive, willing her to want him.
The treacherous deposed King, his father, won't give up his greed for power, putting everyone at risk - so Eryx and Olivia take up the fight to stop him or die trying.
A sad but good read.

While neither were interested or looking for a relationship, there’s an undeniable instant attraction between the hero and heroine who are both emotionally scarred, and that pain just increases as the plot progresses. Then disaster and chaos occurs causing new heartache and despair. The tension becomes pulse pounding as things go from bad to worse, and the action skyrockets.

Scarred
Eryx has been used, abused, abandoned and rejected. When he attends his brother’s wedding he meets a woman whose very presence picks at the emotional scars she has buried away. Olivia has also dealt with the pains of rejection and wants nothing to do with love and marriage. But fate had other plans for this couple and I enjoyed reading about their coming together. So much action with great characters and world building,I look forward to the next book.

Olivia is attending Lexi’s wedding when tragedy strikes. Eryx saves her but it becomes a cat and mouse game of survival. This book was about what you would sacrifice for the greater good and the love of the one meant for you conquers anything. I’m sure there is more to come with all the plans within plans.

This was a good 2nd book in this series. My only complaint is the grammatical errors, it made it distracting to have to reread a sentence just to make sure u read it right then having to replace a word( he was meant to b the. he instead of she) will definitely read Prax and Scarlets story can’t wait.

Denial leads to realization. I was actually laughing at Eryx, he was literally running away from Olive but soon when he realized that she is fated, he is running to her and protecting her. But his father is something, thankfully, he got his mind back before he hurt her.

I I really liked this book! I was hooked from the first chapter. Two people who were damaged find each other while fighting for their lives. I do think book one should be read before Eryx to truly enjoy this story. Download and enjoy❤️❤️

... "here actions speak louder than words,”
Olivia is just going to be her best friends maid of honor, a nice, normal little trip... into space... where the groom is an Alien Prince.
Eryx used to know his place in the order of things, then he discovered his father had epic plans Eryx couldn't support and overnight his life went to he'll in a handbasket. Now he's trying to put his life back together.
This done in one story builds on events in the previous stories, while reading as a solid stand alone. Both Olivia and Eryx are struggling to accept themselves, having disappointed their families and felt rejected by them they are convinced they are prepared to face life alone, right up until the Universe gives them someone to face it with.
