Zane is a royal in hiding. He spends his days staying out of the public eye, performing manual labor in the amazing forest at the center of a luxury space cruiser. Until he spots the newest passenger, Princess Juno, who stirs something in him he’s never felt before. He does everything in his power to be by her side, even posing as her personal valet. And when he learns that her people need help, he knows just what to do. But to help her, he will have to reclaim his forsaken lineage and take his rightful place on the throne, even if it means losing her forever. Will he reveal his secret to save her people, or will he confess his love to win her heart?

Featuring a cruise ship in space, a secret prince and a Cinderella-like heroine, this story was so much fun!
Juno is from a poor plant with honest hard working people who just want to feed their families. Juno wins the princess package space cruise aboard the Stargazer. Juno is assigned Zane as her valet, there is an instant spark but Juno needs to find royalty to save her people. The king Juno interacts with seems to be the answer to save her people. Everything is not what it appears, the king is not what he seems, Juno is not really a princess even though that is how she is presented on the cruise and her valet is so much more than a valet. I love this book, amazing story with wonderful characters.
This was a slow burn love story but well worth reading. Juno won a special princess package on a exclusive cruise ship. All it took was one look for Zane to know how special Juno is. They are from two different worlds but had the same goals – each to better their people although it took Zane getting to know Juno for him to realize what he needed to do. He needed to return to his people and take the throne then he could help Juno’s people at the same time. Things almost went astray when an evil king came into the picture but Zane had already won Juno’s heart. A lovey happily ever after!!
A winner of a princess cruise, given a crown, and a valet/forest worker who is in disguise. Politics within the space cruiser. True mates found and true selves emerge. This is book 1 of a trilogy. Each book is a standalone romance and so much more but are so much better when read as a set. Bravo!!

WOW I absolutely enjoyed reading Tasha Black and of course she has another magnificent story to add to her amazing collection of books. Her characters are as always captivating, emotional and unforgettable. As always I read through the night because I couldn’t put my kindle down. I talked to the characters, I laughed out loud at them and they also brought tears to my eyes, but through it all I had a thrilling experience while reading this story. If you need another marvelous book to read and add to your collection then you definitely want to read this book because as always this a thrilling experience that I have enjoyed and I can’t hardly wait for the next book in this series.

Talk about an absolutely fantastic book. The characters are phenomenal. Can’t wait to read book #2. Ohh I definitely recommend this book.
Juno Adair wins the Princess Package space cruise. Being from Terra-4 is a planet of poverty. Juno was used to going to bed hungry.
This trip introduces her to royalty, lavish gowns, food galore and Juno never bathed as she is now.
Zane is a royal in hiding, not many knew he was a up and coming king. He picked this life on the Stargazer II, making pathways in the forest only change when he see’s this beauty in white. MINE! His everything!
This review is my own opinion, this author is one that I love to read her books.
Love the humble heart of these two. Love that the one and only thing they both needed was right their for the taking, if they are brave and bold enough to snatch it. Love the mate concept and how it fuels determination without being arrogant. Can’t wait to read what’s or who’s cruising next. I was provided a free copy without obligation and am voluntarily reviewing.
Juno & Zane
Juno is impoverished with friends providing the best birthday present ever. She’s going on a starship trip–the princess package! Her a princess? She doesn’t know how to act being treated like royalty. She’s meeting other royals and being taken care of by the most amazing man. Wouldn’t ya know she’d like the servant and well, the royal, he isn’t growing on her.
Life is amazing although she feels bad for her friends back on earth 4–how can she help them?
She doesn’t know some deep secrets about the men she is around. Some good some bad — really bad. Life-threatening bad.
Juno is an amazing woman despite her circumstances, she shows her true heart in wanting to help others. An example to a man who has given up on his place rather than fight to make it better. Is her influence enough to motivate him? Before she ends up…well better read for more.
Emotional, steamy, surprises–a good beginning to a series. I want more.
Juno is sassy. She’s an understated beauty that comes from a planet that is in turmoil. Zane is hiding from his destiny due to fear. When circumstances throw them together, it has all the makings of a fairytale especially with a villain thrown in. Cassius thinks highly of only himself. He uses any means necessary to obtain what he wants including lies and subterfuge. Luckily, Zane sees what is going on and is there to step in. Zane has many surprises for Juno and they’re all good. You get to meet some old friends and make new ones in this story. It’s well written and worth the read.
I really enjoyed reading this book , it is filled with adventure, intrigue, and is action packed. The chemistry and interaction between the characters of Juno and Zane is wonderful. I can’t wait for more from this author. I received this book as a FREE copy to read and I voluntarily leave this review.
What a sweet and romantic story. Juno won a trip to become a princess on a cruise ship. She is will do anything for her people. Zane is hiding from his responsibilities. But as he meets Juno, he knows what he needs to do. She might of pretended to be a princess but at the end she landed a King. I can’t wait to read more.
Ms. Black does it again! … I want to win a luxury cruise on this starship and be treated like a Princess, and maybe, just maybe, find a hunky alien of my own 😉 “CROWNED MATE” is the 1st in a new spin-off from the fantastic Stargazer world! I loved this different plot, and the H/h, Juno & Zane’s chemistry is off the charts! The always clever dialogue & detailed descriptions breathe life into the relatable characters and the whole story comes to life in vivid color! So hold onto your seat for this wild ride! … I honestly recommend this to Adult, 18+ fans of fiction!
