Destiny Jones is a princess with a bad attitude. She doesn’t play nice with others, she doesn’t dress up in pretty clothes, and she has absolutely zero interest in behaving like a lady. Especially when she’s so close to catching the people who tried to have her killed. Oh, and kidnapped her mother, queen of the planet Alera. Destiny’s sex-starved body, and it’s annoying Aleran Ardor, might kill … kill her if her enemies don’t find her first. But she’s not afraid to suffer, or risk her life to protect those she loves, but she’s terrified of risking her heart.
Vennix was trained to hunt and to kill from the shadows. After years of serving in the Hive wars as an elite member of the Coalition’s Shadow Unit, he returned home to fight for the one thing he believes in, honor. Dedicating his life to the queen’s guard was an easy decision—but watching the most beautiful woman he’s ever met repeatedly risk her life is about to drive him mad.
Because Destiny is his. His body awakened for her. And if his new mate thinks Nix will stand idly by as she suffers without his skillful lover’s touch, she is very, very mistaken…

I was granted an ARC of Grace Goodwin’s “Ascension Saga: 7 (Interstellar Brides®: Ascension Saga)” via Booksprout; I recommend this book to others based upon its own merits. All opinions expressed within this review are uniquely my own & freely given!
Until next time… Happy Reading!
This part of the story is about Destiney and Nix coming together.. Both Nix and Destiny have very alpha personalities and they clash allot. Destiney is very self assured, independent, and a little scared of getting hurt, also a little guarded.. I don’t know why cause it don’t say in the book, but I think Destiney has seen to many bad things in her life in the past that has made her the way she is…. Despite it being a short book Ms. Goodwin writes her book’s really well to draw in her readers and leaves you wanting more.
**I volunteerly decided to review this amazing arc book I received from the author**
A captivating read from beginning to end! An exciting storyline that leaves you breathless wanting more! Sexy steam filled chemistry! Emotionally heartfelt, enjoyable and fun! One heck of a twisted, intense rollercoaster ride! An amazing must read!

I found this story to be a very enjoyable read. An amazingly attention grabber with great characters, details and depth kept your interest and totally engaged throughout really well
I am thoroughly enjoying this new serial from GG. Destiny is a hoot and Nix is hawt! Can’t wait for the next installment.
Fun fast easy read. Destiny and Nix are wonderful together and are both so determined to have their way. Destiny is NOT a stay at home little princess, in fact she’ll kill anyone who gets in the way of finding and saving her mother. Nix just needs to protect his mate. How dare she put herself at risk. The first six books cover the stories of her two sisters. This works as a stand-alone but it’s so much fun you’ll want to go back and catch up on the others if you haven’t already read them. (I voluntarily reviewed an ARC).
Another solid story by Ms. Goodwin. Excellent storybuilding and characters. I love the Ascension saga.

In Ascension Saga 7 we get the beginning of Destiny and Nix’s story. Love how protective Nix is for Princess Destiny. They are still looking for the kidnapped Queen. Love that we are finally getting closer to the end of the Saga and hopefully we find out who kidnapped the Queen and why. Hate that it’s going to take nine short novella’s to get there.
Destiny is the last of the sisters trying to figure out their lives on planet Alera, how to find their kidnapped mother, how to fix the worse case of Ardor, and satisfy their new mates. At least they’re not bored with life. The Ascension Saga is a series of stories tied to Queen Celene (Mom), Trinity – the oldest and Queen-in-Waiting, Faith – the first twin (princess-in-waiting) to fall in love, and last but not least Destiny, the last twin (princess-in-waiting) to fall for a mate, Nix. Nix has been waiting a while for the “One” to wake his dormant manhood and why does it have to be to a damsel that refuses to stay in distress. This one thinks she can take of herself, her two sisters, AND him – with one hand tied behind her back ?? But he can tell it’s going to be quite an exciting ride. It will be one for us too. Ascension 7 is the first book for Destiny and Nix, so hold on tight and get ready for #8.
3.5 stars
Enjoyed the story but wish it didn’t end in a cliffhanger. Not my preferred format. Otherwise plenty to enjoy.
We get Destiny’s story last and to say Destiny is the easy-going sister is a lie. If you have read the other books, we have gotten tidbits of Destiny and her attitude. When Destiny is in trouble, we find Nix going to her to try to save her. Nix nor Destiny have the time for emotions. They want to discover who is trying to kill Destiny, her sisters, and mother and get on with their lives. But when the mating call is too much to handle what is a girl to do?
Ascension Saga: 7 (Interstellar rides: Ascension Saga) x Grace Goodwin
This is the 7th book in this amazing series and as the mystery of the abduction of the Alaren Queen continues, her daughters take on the fight to reclaim the crown and take on the roles of the royalty they’ve been born into (readers must start with the first book and go in order but it’s so worth it).
This is the third princess’s story, Destiny. Destiny Jones has traveled from earth to Alara with her sisters to find her mother Queen Celine who has been kidnapped. She is not your everyday princess who dreams of beautiful clothes and a handsome prince. Destiny has been raised and trained her whole life to be a tough warrior who is not afraid to risk her life for her family but is terrified to risk her heart. She goes undercover as a cleric to delve further into their part in her mother’s abduction.
Nix is a no nonsense seasoned warrior who has spent years as a top fighter for the coalition fighting in the Hive war. He is now assigned to the Queen’s Guard and becomes embroiled in the Princesses mission to reclaim the Alaren throne. He is perfectly matched to Destiny in every way. Nix can. Or stand by and watch Destiny continues to endanger her life as a spy with the clerics. When he finally gets to her he finds Destiny is deep in the “ardor” and she has “awakened” his manhood. She is his mate and although her body can not refuse him, her mind rejects the idea of having a mate.
As the series advances the twists and turns, adventure , hot and steamy matings, mystery, treachery, excitement adds to the overall plots complexity and excitement. The Alaren world building is mesmerizing and expands with each installment.
The authors special type of paranormal erotic romance space sagas grabs onto readers imaginations and takes us on a wild exciting ride.
There is a free prequel that starts the series and read the novellas in order.
This is the seventh book in the Ascension Saga series and picks up where book six left off but now is focusing on Destiny and Nix. While the Queen is still missing we watch as her daughters take things into their own hands in order to try to find their mother. I love how Nix expected to have a submissive mate but got way more than he expected. The mystery, drama, romance and laughs are still strong in this book and kept me reading till the last page.

Whoa. Hello Destiny and Nix. Wasn’t expecting that—at all!
In Ascension Saga 7, Destiny is desperate to discover where her mother has been taken and hidden. She’s bound and determined to take every risk in order to learn as much as she can to help rescue Celene and return her to her rightful place as Queen of Alera.
But someone doesn’t necessarily want Destiny to be successful in her search—and when Destiny’s at risk, Nix comes to the rescue. Err . . . even when Destiny doesn’t need it.
The connection between Nix and Destiny is undeniable—but they’ve got some work to do, along with trying to figure out where the Queen’s hidden. Can’t wait for more of Nix and Destiny’s story!
This book begins the third segment of this series which focuses on Princess Destiny and Nix’s story (Vol 3: Books 7-9).
Queen Celene was being kept in an Aleran Dungeon, guarded by clerics. Lord Wyse had not returned for several days, so she figured he was not the only one involved in her kidnapping. Someone else wanted her held prisoner. The man she called Scarface entered the cell, followed by a cleric, to tell her there was a death in her family. She panicked, horrified that one of her daughters had been murdered… but Scarface said “HE was no use”. Who was it? When he said “Lord Wyse”, she burst out laughing derisively. As Scarface started to explain, the sound of ion fire rang out and he fell dead on the floor, the cleric aiming an ion pistol at him. With Lord Wyse, Scarface, and Lord & Lady Jax dead, it was obvious that someone was clearing up loose ends. Would Celene be next?
Divinity climbed the vines of the fortress to get to the elder cleric’s office three levels up. If she were caught, she would be executed, but she knew the clerics were holding her mother somewhere. Outside, she heard the vines rustle as someone else climbed up. There was no escape from the locked room, so she had to hide quickly. She watched from the dark corner as he soundlessly came into the room in a crouch and whispered her name. He was a predator, hunter, protector. He was a soldier. Her Ardor had started and she struggled with her desire for him. He said he was taking her back to the palace to keep her safe, but she refused to leave. In the silence, she heard his heartbeat and breathing increase. Finally she asked who he was. He identified himself as Vennix Blyndar, Captain of the Interstellar Fleet, Captain of the Queen’s Guard, an elite member of the Coalition’s Shadow Unit in the Hive Wars. Being near her was driving him crazy – he never acted this way! He actually sensed her in the dark room! Then his body Awakened – she was his mate!
As Divinity tried to push Nix away, he felt her need for him. She was literally dying of the Aleran Ardor, her body starved for bonding energy, and he felt a surge of his strength move into her. He touched her and their life forces mixed. As they claimed each other, Divinity’s super-hearing heard Elder Cleric Amandine and one of her aides talking quietly as they made their way to this office! Divinity heard her ask Crayden to investigate the rumors of Lord & Lady Jax and Lord Wyse’s deaths. She told him that an unauthorized prisoner was being held on Optimus Cell Level C and she needed to know who it is and who authorized it. The clerics could not protect the royal family without answers to these rumors, and she needed answers in one day – the Triad was coming. Powerful Elder Clerics Marna, Forge and Severil wanted updates about the queen in person. Things were heating up quickly! What would Divinity and Nix do with this information? Who was to be trusted? Who was holding the Queen prisoner?
This saga is so amazing and exciting! Nix, a powerful and fierce warrior is ready to protect Destiny when he discovers a shocking fact – Destiny is his mate, a fierce warrior herself, stubborn and a perfect match for Nix! Grab your copy and hang on for the adventure of your life!
