How far will Rhea go to escape Earth? Mate a big, bad (in the best ways), and occasionally green alien.Rhea is leaving Earth and nothing will stop her. Not her controlling governor father, her asshole ex-fiancé, or the Department of Population who want to impregnate her. Which is why she contacts the one organization out of their reach—Celestial Mates. A questionnaire and blood sample later and … sample later and Rhea is matched to a hunky, deliciously tempting, and alluring alien.
Erudan—once known as Teon, brother to the High Warlord of Vialea—did not register with Celestial Mates. Or rather, he’d never submitted his application. Yet a curvaceous, dark haired, green eyed human stands before him and demands they mate. Immediately. He lost his honor long ago and doesn’t deserve a female like the seductive Rhea, but that does not stop the wanting.
Unfortunately, others from Earth want her returned and Erudan is happy to show them the error of their ways. No one challenges a Vian warrior… and lives.

Going Green is book two in Vialea and book twenty-nine in the Celestial Mates series by Erin Tate aka Celia Kyle.
Each book in the Celestial Mates series can be read as a stand-alone. I picked this one up; because the blurb sounded nice and I’ve read and enjoyed other books by this author.
We jump right in and their is no true introduction to the series or characters. From what I picked up we continue the story that started in book one of the Vialea series and move onto the Prince who is the twin to brother to the King. Something happened in book one and now he doesn’t feel worthy of love nor does he feel he deserves a mate. As for the mate, Rhea, she’s on the run from her controlling governor father and her ex-finance which is why she signed up for the Celestial Mates. With a mate she won’t be forced to be in a loveless marriage and can find love, even if it’s not right off the bat.
This story is an easy and light read. There is no real depth to any of the characters. The mating is quick. The conflict is quickly and neatly resolved. And, the world building it’s minimal. Their just wasn’t much in this story to fall for.
Going Green was an acceptable read, but didn’t offer much. Not my favorite by this author.
Rated: 3 Stars
This book is a little different from most of this authors books. I’ll have to give it a second read. Not as humorous as most of her books.
I Love, Love, Love everything from Celia Kyle/Erin Tate!
Finally the brother’s story. I act like I wait forever for it but I really didn’t since I read them back-to-back. They were published over a year of each other but that’s the great part of always being behind, you often don’t have to wait for the next book coming out.
After how Erudan acted towards his brother’s mate you aren’t sure what you think of him. The funny part is that in his own book he’s very different. I really liked him. He had a black cloud over his head that he carried around for all the wrong reasons.
Poor Rhea start of a new life doesn’t start out that great. She loses her belonging and is almost attacked. The worse part is that the mate she couldn’t wait to meet wasn’t there to meet her. Thankfully for her, he does show up but nothing goes as planned.
You’ll enjoy these two together. He’s there to stand against her father for her and she’s there to help him get back with his family. They work perfectly. I liked that he went and made up with his brother and was forgiven. Such a fun read that I really enjoy.
Another great addition to the Celestial Mates series. I was happy to see that Eridan finally got his HEA. Can we talked about how fierce and determine Rhea was. Even with everything that she was going through her tenacity was remarkable. Overall enjoyable and entertaining read looking forward to reading more books in the Celestial Mates series. I voluntarily read and review this ARC no monetary compensation was received the opinions I have expressed are my own.
Rhea Lux is on her way to to the planet Vialea. She contacted Celestial Mates, and they found a mate for her. That gives her a way to make sure she could leave Earth and all her troubles behind. Hopefully.
Erudan is a Vian warrior and peacekeeper. He will not allow himself to resume his rightful place until he restores his honour.
Our heroine is going to cause our hero all sorts of problems and stress.
An amusing and sexy sci-fi romance with fabulous characters. It is the second book in the series but easily read on it’s own. It will tempt you to get the first one. It has me.
fun read
