Until next time… Happy Reading!
This book this book was good but not the complete story good for a quick read but it feels incomplete which in a way it is because there is 2 more parts that you must buy.
fun read, cliff hanger
This is my first book by this author and I loved it! The author has created a captivating world full of interesting characters and a story that is engaging. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
Book one in the Interstellar Brides Ascension Saga series and I want to read the next book and any others in this series once I started I was not putting it down. This was a well-written fast book to read. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
So we are getting the queens 3 daughters story now. We start with Trinity. The queen has hidden herself and her children on earth. But that has all now come to an end when the queen is taken and now the daughters have to go back to her planet and find her.
Trinity meets Leo who is in charge of keeping her and her sisters safe. When they meet sparks fly and things turn deadly.
I will say that I find it unusual that Grace turned these shorter stories into individual books. Usually, she just does one novel size book. But I enjoyed this story either way.
Trinity is a princess trying to find her way home, fix an Ardor issue, and find her kidnapped mother – the Queen. Not much of a checklist, right? If you know Ms. Grace, like some of us regulars do, you know she’s gonna give you a run for her money. haha – Saga, Book 1, really is the best place to start if you plan on reading, and finishing the Ascension Saga. And let me say so far so good. To fix her Ardor, Trinity meats Leo (wink,wink) who is only so glad to scratch her itch because when he stares into her eyes, HIS meat truly awakens for the first time and then HE has an itch to scratch too. Book 1 is the lead in this exciting race to gain back her mother’s throne and keep her light shining. One heck of a way to start anyone’s day !!
This is another great read by this talented author. If you like the Interstellar Brides then you will love this book. This book is not a standalone and I can’t wait to read the next book.

The Interstellar Brides series is one of my all time favorites! I had no idea what to expect as, Grace Goodwin introduced us to a new planet! Yes, another planet, Alera which is part of the Coalition but the culture has distinct differences and one is enamored with this new planet! Another, page turner from the start!
Trinity and her sisters, Faith and Destiny, have a lovely life on Earth but their mother is the Queen of Alera and she has schooled them to return to their home planet and take their rightful places. Trinity is suffering from a very unique and embarrassing problem. And only a male can help her. Their mother is abducted from Earth, the three women need the help of the Interstellar Bride program to get to Alera and the help of the Coalition to stay alive to find their mother. After their arrival, they are attacked and the seriousness of their mission becomes clear. They are quickly taken away into hiding by Leoron of Alera, a loyal Aleran. Leo is the ONE who can help Trinity with her problem and protect them and help them find their mother. Trinity and Leo are scorching hot!
The story is well written and the characters are well developed. It is fast paced, filled with adventure, romance, and sexy, HOT aliens! The sisters know how to fight, so there are steamy action scenes! It is a cliffhanger and I enjoyed the story and can’t wait to read the next one! There is a prequel and I recommend reading that book to get the full essence of the story. Again, this isn’t a stand alone and you will probably need to read the Ascension Saga to get the full story and it’s a GREAT story! Thank you, Grace Goodwin!
This is the first part of a new serial series set in Grace Goodwin’s interstellar bride’s world.
This first instalment introduces sisters Trinity, Destiny and Faith: three sisters who are Alera royalty.
The sisters after the abduction of there mother are setting forth on a new direction in there lives one that will put them in the crosshairs of some very dangerous adversaries.
But if you don’t know who the enemy or in this case enemies are it’s difficult to stay safe: this is where Leoron comes in.
Leo a soldier commandeered by the prime Nial himself in the task of keeping the girls safe finds he himself has a vested interest in one Trinity Jones.
But not having the complete picture himself the task ahead of him is far from an easy one.
So this was a smorgasbord of delights filled with action, humour and super red-hot shenanigans throughout.
It had some great characters and really was a great read: managing no issue whatsoever to grab and retain my attention.
A fab start to a new series: but please do be aware that this is somewhat short in nature: of novella size.
I voluntary reviewed an Arc copy of Ascension: 1.

Like last time Ms. Goodwin is always good at drawing us in and giving us just what we wanted or needed,lol..
** I received this advanced copy of the book from the author and volunteerly decided to review this wonderful book**
A very exciting start to this new series. A sci-fi romance that offers plenty of heat, drama and deep emotions. Does end on a cliffhanger in preparation of book two. I liked the chemistry between Leo and Trinity and watching them deal with their attraction was quite entertaining. Can not wait to see what happens in book 2!
Grace Goodwin’s Ascension Saga is a serialized story in the Interstellar Brides’ Program and I’m having a great time with the stories. Story 1 drops right into the action as we meet Trinity, Faith and Destiny. Earth-raised girls using the IBP to get to Alera to save their mother, the queen. Story 2 picks up fairly close to where story 1 ends and things are progressing quickly. The sisters have a plan in place and Faith and Destiny are actively searching for information on their mother while Trinity steps into her new role.
Likes: I’m a huge fun of sci fi romances and Ms. Goodwin did a great job building the sisters’ universe. We have fated-mates, which is typical for this genre, and I really enjoyed the differentiations between the species and each with their own feisty human mate (yes, earth girls are bad a$$es). One word: the Ardor. There’s a suspense element (Who is after them and why) that is an undercurrent in both stories 1 & 2 (and beyond) that ties the stories together as the sisters must figure out what’s going on to save the planet and prevent further war. And I’m going to point out there, Leo is amazing and may well become your new book boyfriend. If you are a regular reader of the Interstellar Brides’ Program, then you’ll be acquainted with Jessica and her mates (book 4), and I loved seeing them in this story. Dislikes: I will readily admit that the story lines need to be engaging for me to accept cliffhangers and this story has held my attention.
There is a new series in the Interstellar Brides world. The new Ascension Saga. There are no brides, but we do have a heir to the Throne and a planet full of virgin men. The saga contains several books, but it is one story being told. So you do need to read them in order and there is a bit of a cliffy ending at each book.
Trinity was a wonderful character. Smart, strong, fiercely loyal, but she also had her doubt and struggles. Which made her feel real.
Leoron was one hot warrior, who was very skeptical in the beginning. it was fun to see his reactions to everything that was happening.
This is a fast paced, action packed, hot series
Sci-fi ROMANCE at its BEST! A superbly sensuous and erotic romance, and a certain MUST-BUY!
The way that Grace Goodwin writes her superbly descriptive and sensuous prose had this reader/reviewer on the hook within the first paragraph. If you have not already done so, PURCHASE THIS BOOK! Then clear the calendar for the next couple of hours with a glass of wine (or water if you prefer it) and dive in. There is also a free Prequel that provides some backstory on the three sisters, but it is not essential to read the Prequel first. “ASCENSION” (PART 1) is exactly what the title suggests . . . a story about a royal ascending to the throne. However, what neither the title nor the blurb tells prospective readers is how easily Goodwin’s smooth pose will capture a reader’s imagination, how rapidly the alternating voice between the heroine and hero of “ASCENSION” will endear the characters to a reader’s heart and have that reader rooting for their happiness, and how the intensely complex, action-packed, and compelling plotline will pull readers out of their world and take them to the matriarchal world of Aleran! For those who are already fans of Goodwin’s INTERSTELLAR BRIDES Series, some of her fan’s favorites make appearances and give a glimpse of life beyond the epilogue. I voluntarily read “ASCENSION” and this is my honest review and 5+STAR recommendation! As a practice, I do not give more than 4½ stars to a novella, but “ASCENSION” is just too good to limit and there are two more parts to read! Happy pages!
Outstanding beginning for a long venture!
I really enjoyed this book.
it’s well written and the characters are well developed.
I recommend you read the prequel prior reading the book to get the full picture. Part one introduce you to all three sisters and give you a good idea of the family dynamic.
it’s a great story, but it’s in multiple parts and you will need to read the other books, so if your looking for a standalone this is not it as I’m pretty sure you will have to read the full Ascension Saga series to get the whole Alera’s story.
couldn’t put this down it grips you from page one and is full of action ,feelings and a whole lot more as the three sisters leave earth and travel to the planet Alera to claim and save their mother with so many dangers and obstacles and virgin men. I loved how the woman take control and are fierce and will do what ever its going to take to get the job done. Trinity and Leo are learning a whole lot of things and oh boy they are seriously hot and so sensual it will melt your heart.
