It’s OK if you haven’t read much sci-fi romance
There’s nothing interesting here—not the story, the sex or the characters. It’s uninspiring. It’s like the author was on autopilot and trying to finish pages not tell a story.
Mila is so irritating. She’s boring, painfully predictable and quakes in fear too often. Worse, she’s TSTL (Too Stupid To Live), which creates a completely avoidable conflict spanning the last third of the book. Too much “I’m bored, so I’m going to endanger myself and others” and “I’ll ignore security because I know better” and not enough common sense.
The writing ventures into turgid, purple prose, mostly from Stax. It’s cringy. He’s this overly-understanding alien who is so chivalrous and polite that he isn’t appealing. I’m not saying he needs to be an Alpha-hole, but he’s too needy and saccharine.
Maybe my disappointment is partially due to mixing up the author’s pen names. Sue Mercury is lighter and less explicit. Sue Lyndon is edgier, darker and sexier. I think the author’s passion is in her Sue Lyndon books. They’re better written. Try them instead.
A sweet and sexy read from Sue Mercury. You don’t want to miss this one.
This is a spicy sweet story about love overcoming everything. Mila and Stax are sweet together, especially how Stax wants to protect Mila and Mila wants to protect Stax.
Mila is running away and trying to keep hiding, but she nearly dies, until she’s saved by Stax, who sees her and wants to make her his mate.
They don’t have an easy path of it. They both have their own things to work through, especially Mila, and it’s hard for her to trust, even when Stax says all the right things. But, when you’ve dealt with what she has, it isn’t easy to get past all that. But, they are totally cute together, and I love their interaction.
She is working in a dangerous environment so she stays away from her ex. She is then accused of a crime she did not commit and her sentence would be death. Next she wakes up with an alien looking at her. He tells her she is his mate. What will happen between them? Will they bond? See how they get on

This was just alright for me. Maybe I’m getting burned out on alien species who have had all their females killed/made infertile. For the most part, Stax is a sweet, protective mate. There was one sex scene that I felt bordered on abuse. This just wasn’t my favorite.
Love this story! Mila runs from her controlling fiancée. She ends up accused of murder and sentenced to death. Stax rescues her and wants her to be his forever.
I enjoyed this book very much. It has a tall, muscular alien who is also a Healer and a very good one due to his great intelligence. He is also tasked, as is all the men of his planet, to seek a human woman to mate with. He finds his woman as she is near death after having been wrongfully accused of murder on a planet with an uncivilized population. And as a healer, he does indeed make her well. She is quickly attracted to him, and is overwhelm by his sexuality as well as his devotion to her and his honor. But she is also hiding a big secret from him, and she is worried it will ruin their relationship. She is very happy making a new life with him on his planet, but constantly worried about her secret. When he discovers her secret will it ruin their seemingly perfect relationship or will his love for her overcome all obstacles. It is worth the read to discover the answers for yourself.

This is a wonderful story about a human who has gone through a lot, including being sentenced to death and so she has a lot of trauma and emotional scars to heal from. She then meets an alien who saves her and wants her to be his mate, he’s prepared to protect her from everything and everyone. The characters are very likeable, and the story moves along at a steady pace. It’s an enjoyable sci-fi romance to read.

Sweet and Sexy.
This is a sweet and sexy page turner. Stax and Mila are loveable characters that pull you in and keep your attention until the end. I would definitely recommend this sweet read.
She has a really rough life. Escapes from an ex to be a pilot and then is sentenced to death. An alien warrior wants her and is going to take her back to his planet as his mate. It is a good story. I was given a review copy and voluntarily review it.
What a beautiful story. The beginning is so intense and then Stax shows up. He is brave and determined. Mila has secrets she tries to keep to herself but Stax soon gets them out of her. He was so loving and caring that you could feel it while reading. A great well written story. Read thru the KU program.
Vaxxlian Mates Sci-Fi love story

What a delightful story of Mila and the alien Stax who rescued her from a certain death. I really enjoyed the Insta attraction between them, it didn’t seem to rushed for some reason.
But Mila is keeping a close secret from Stax that may cause a war.
Read to find out what happened once her secret is revealed.

Sue Mercury strikes again! I absolutely adore her alien romances. This one was no different. I adored the relationship between Mila and Stax. Mila is the kind of heroine I love; strong, willful and passionate. Stax is the kind of hero I love; protective, caring and oh so decadent. But those two together and you have the kind of passion and love we all dream of. I loved everything about the plot and what a great ending
This is the second story in the Vaxxlian Mates, a Sci-Fi Alien Romance and these books just keep on giving! In this amazing, SciFi series, each book tells its own story and can be read, as a stand alone but it is more enjoyable if, you read the series in order since characters from the earlier book are mentioned. Mila’s family and friends have perished, she is running and hiding from the man her father has chosen to be her husband. She is lonely, desperate and is sentenced to death on a distant planet. Enter Stax, a gorgeous, Alpha, Vaxxlian alien, seeking a human female, as a mate. Yes, he finds Mila, rescues her and heals her physical wounds. His planet Vaxx has been destroyed and the survivors, now live on New Vaxx. Stax has suffered the loss of family and friends, but his brothers are among the survivors and are rebuilding a life on New Vaxx.
When Stax sees Mila, he knows they are meant to be together and she is to be his mate. They are electric together but have their own things to work through and understand. Mila has problems with trust and deciding to accept Stax, who is protective, possessive and loving. They don’t have an easy path. They are adorable together and I love their interaction.
Sue Lyndon and Sue Mercury are very talented authors and continue to dazzle us with these stories. They delve into the depths of our emotions and complications of our relationships. The characters are well developed and has them facing their inner fears, learning about themselves, opening themselves to trusting and realizing that one can grow and gain understanding of the gift of love and all that it brings. The story has beautiful romance, suspense, mystery, HOT sexy scenes, danger and is fast paced. They show us that we can heal and be better than we ever imagined. Thank you, Sue Lyndon and Sue Mercury!
Mila is a solid character, who easily will pull you into her story. She literally dies for a crime she didn’t commit but that’s still not the thing she’s running from. Staxx is also a strong character that is easy to like. He is honest from the beginning and worships Mila from the moment he meets her. Their story has some violence, some intrigue and lots of steamy bonding times. I enjoyed reading this story, it was interesting, dynamic and full of characters that were relatable.
