He’s her willing prisoner, but it’s her heart that needs guarding… puts her on guard duty protecting a Cerulean prisoner, she’s beyond resentful of the big blue warrior she has to babysit.
Rex Tylarr happily left behind his brutal days in the Cerulean army, and has spent years loyally protecting the staff and guests as Head of Security on the Stargazer II. When he has to turn on his own people to protect a VIP guest from a Cerulean uprising onboard, he winds up jailed with the rest of the Ceruleans. For his own safety, the captain of the ship decides to put him under house arrest instead, with a curvy little hydroponic farmer who seems to hate him with a white-hot passion. Rex can’t help wondering if he’d have been better off taking his lumps in the cell.
But when dangerous chemicals go missing and strange creatures are spotted prowling in the ship’s forest, Rex and Rose have to put their differences aside to save the ship and its passengers. The trouble is that each new twist of the unfolding mystery binds them closer together and makes it harder to ignore the sizzling attraction that irresistibly tempts these enemies to become lovers.
If you like strong women, hunky aliens, wild adventures, steamy sensual scenes, and happily-ever-afters, then you’ll love the world of Stargazer!

Rose is a Terran from a planet that is guard by Cerulean’s. The Cerulean’s torment the Terran’s and believe them to be a lesser species. The Terran’s believe all Cerulean’s are cruel and out to torment them. Rose left the Terran military and is on a space cruise running hydroponic farm on the spacecraft. There is Cerulean uprising and all Cerilean’s on the spacecraft are detained together. Rex was the security office for the spacecraft but he is also Ceruleans so he has been detained with the others. Rex stood between the other Ceruleans and the Terran they were trying to harm. The other Cerulean’s punish Rex every chance they get when the guards are not watching. The captain asks Rose to do her a favor, the favor is to guard and protect Rex. The sparks start to fly between them but there are a few misunderstandings. Love this book, there are so many twists and turns with danger, poaching, and theft. Wonderful characters and a great story. This is a must read.
All the books in this series are well written and are steamy love stories but Rose and Rex are my favorite. They are supposed to be enemies, human against Cerulean due to the history of their races. But Rose is surprised by how Rex is nothing like her past experiences with Ceruleans. Due to an issue with other Ceruleans aboard the cruiser, Rex is arrested and jailed but then is released to be under control of Rose in very close quarters. Their feelings for each other quickly intensify while working together to solve some problems aboard the cruiser. Fortunately they both overcome any past prejudices they each had of the other’s race and get their happily ever after.
A Terran and a Cerulean, working in a hydroponic farm and working in security on a space cruiser. Prejudices from life, now united by events and threats from within. Two people looking beneath the surfaces of each other and those around them. A standalone romance with mystery, page turner (as usual) but even better when read in the series. Bravo!

Can you hate somebody so bad YET your body betrays you? Wowzer what a phenomenal book this is!
Rex Tylarr is a Cerulean, he is in jail, labeled a traitor… The Cerulean are beating him… Anna asked Rose to help watch Rex until he can be cleared of all these charges against him… After all he did save the investor. Rose hates Ceruleans but she would never say no to her boss…
Rose Mendez is a Terran, before she left her planet many nights went by being cold and hungry, starving… Now her boss asks her for help taking care of a Cerulean… How can she have feelings for Rex… OMG his kisses are to die for!
This review is my own opinion, this author is one that I love to read her books
Heartfelt & very intense space adventure. I felt sorry for Rex, he’s really been misjudged yet his experience builds his strength without animosity. He is stubborn though. I like Rose too, she is strong, independent, just a tad cocky, a little insecure and just as stubborn. Surprisingly they work very well together, most times. I think this is the most suspenseful in the series which adds more adrenaline to their story and suits the characters well considering their former lives. Love is in the air but who conquered who? Love it!!! I was provided a free copy without obligation which I am voluntarily reviewing.
Heartwarming, romantic, and spellbinding! A terrific, sci-fi romance MUST-READ!
She’s done it again! Author Tasha Black has woven the most wonderful web of words into a sensuous and spellbinding love story. Once again, the Stargazer II is the setting where unexpected mates meet and work together to keep the ship and its cruise passengers safe and enjoying their time traveling through the stars. On this cruise, Rose – head of the Agro Department, and Rex – the former head of security, find themselves linked by a tenuous situation which not only forces them to work together, but something which opens their eyes to the true nature of the one who is inarguably his/her one true mate. Author Tasha Black’s descriptive and compelling prose brings to life the most amazing world of star travel cruising and opens a window into the lives of those individuals who make up its crew. Each novella in the series is both a standalone and an episode in Ms. Black’s series. Each is also a fascinating insight into an intergalactic future where prejudice, herd poisoning, and the thoughtless acts of the rich are not just human traits. I have loved every minute of this Stargazer Alien Space Cruise Brides Series, which has earned all 5 of its 5+STAR rating, and STRONGLY recommend it to every romance reader as your next MUST-READ romance! Happy pages!
Rose & Rex
Rex had been head of security for the cruise ship until an attempt on the life of an ambassador by others from his planet. Even though he had saved the ambassador, according to the laws, since he was from the same race, he was held prisoner with the others. He would be held until a hearing could be held even though it was life-threatening to be held with the other prisoners.
Rose was a botanist extraordinaire. She not only made sure she produced enough food for the ship but surplus for charity. What she wasn’t was a Miltary guard. If it hadn’t been for the huge raise she could use for those in need she would have refused to accept the position of the personal guard to the prisoner to protect him from the others captured by him.
Putting Rose in charge meant keeping close contact–very close contact. She may hate him but he is hot and affects her in ways she’s unwilling to admit. The same for him. He feels protective of her especially when there may be danger she’s not prepared to handle.
Learning to accept those who were enemies in a new light, even more, is one lesson learned by the characters of the book and the readers as well. Strong characters, steam, and more in this third book. I’m ready for more.
Love hate relationship. That is what Rose has with Rex thanks to her life growing up under Cerulean rule. Rex is Cerulean and was the head of security until an attempt on a senator’s life which he thwarted. Rose is given the task a babysitting Rex under house arrest and she is not thrilled. Rex is just happy to be out of the cell and the constant beatings of being called a traitor. As they begin to get to know each other there is an attraction, but circumstances only allow them to take it so far. While this is going on in her personal life, the ship is experiencing some unexpected mysteries that by working together they solve.
Even though they are different. They couldn’t fight the mating pull. Rex and Rose make a great team. They solve a couple mysteries together. Also learn from each other difference. I love all the characters. Can’t wait to read more from this author.
“CONQUERED MATE” is the 3rd in the latest, new spin-off from the fantastic Stargazer world! I was hooked from the start with this fresh new romantic-suspense plot, and the relatable characters, like the H/h, Rex & Rose! Present is the always witty dialogue and detailed descriptions with some surprises that will pull readers right into the story and keep those pages turning… I honestly recommend this to Adult, 18+ fans of fiction and now I can’t wait for more, but of course I will 😉
