Loved this story about Prince Yusef of Draig and Olena Leyton, captain of a pirate ship that’s crashed while on the run. Olena disguises herself as a Galaxy Bride on the Bride ship to Qurilixen to escape the bounty hunters and the law enforcers that are after her. Olena is waiting in the luxury of the Bride ship until her crew comes to pick her up. Olena doesn’t count on Prince Yusef to ruin her plans. Prince Yusef at the Breeding ceremony on Qurilixen spies Olena and knows, she’s his mate and will do everything to claim her. This enjoyable story with sizzling chemistry between our couple and the engaging twist and turns storyline is another great addition to this continuing series. I look forward to the next book in this series. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and I am voluntarily leaving a review.
This is the third book in the series and is Yusuf and Olena’s story. While I didn’t really care for Olena’s character, I will say that Yusef is probably my favorite prince so far. As with the other books, the bride came to Querilixen by way of the ship from a company called Galaxy Brides. She is a space pirate and was on the run from the law. She had no intention of becoming a bride. She resisted all through the story until just about the end. Funny moments throughout this book and had me giggling. Poor Yusef gets his bride but couldn’t get Olena’s name from her.
I am looking forward to the other books and spin off series. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This is the 2nd book in the series by Michelle Pillow. Brides are bought to a planet where the women only deliver male babies. Females are in demand. Our bride is a pirate who is looking to get off the planet she crashed on and reunite with her pirate team. She boards the vessel for the Brides in her escape. During the transit time, her wounds are healed and she is ready to meet her new husband.
This tale is about Olena (pirate) and Jusef (prince) and how they overcome backgrounds and learn to interact/share with someone. Olena is a child slave who was rescued and raised by a pirate. She inherits his crew and ship. She’s had a hard life and taught to never trust anyone except her crew. Jusef knows what his background is, what’s expected of him and he has his ideas of a “prefect” wife Unfortunately, no one explains to the incoming brides what to expect and what the “wedding” rituals are and what is expected of them. The men know the rituals and when the women don’t behave in the correct way, the men are confused and upset.
I enjoyed the story line and the interaction between the couples but then I didn’t. What I didn’t like is how no one explains to the women what to expect so they are able to respond. Olena has her don’t trust anyone; background and reacts to the wedding night in the only way she knows and Josef is upset that she isn’t conforming to what he expects. He takes no time to talk with her about her background, why she responds the way she does and how life is on his planet. Sex is the answer and the pleasure they both have is good and leads to love. They really don’t spend a lot of time learning about the other.

enjoyable read!
Beautiful Detailed Story
Olena is a pirate who ends up a Qurilixen Bride. Yusef is the dragon shifter who first attracts her attention – and he ends up being a prince. This expanded anniversary edition leads you to fall in love with this couple all over again, through their miscommunications and vulnerabilities, their passion and their chemistry. I loved how the other princes’ brides’ stories are interwoven; it makes me more excited to read the rest of this series!
I am so hooked in this series!
I had the chance to listen to the audiobook and read the book and i can tell you that i absolutely loved it!!!
Mason Lloyd the narrator is awesome and no matter the book he always manages to captivate me along with the amazing story of Michelle M Pillow this book is a hit!
This is the story of Olek and Elena and these two are a hoot.
Really loved the chemistry between them and the action packed scenes.
Both author and narrator have done a great work and given us a book to enjoy!
A must read series!!!!
Although it isn’t my favorite in the series, I liked this story. Olena is a space pirate who doesn’t want to get married but becomes a Galaxy Bride due to circumstances. Yusef mistakenly thinks she is there because she wants to be a bride. There is less humor (which I am a fan of) in this book, but even so, it is worth reading because the characters are strong and the author does such a good job writing their story and mixing it with the other stories in this series.

Thief of Hearts
Michelle M. Pillow’s third book in her ‘Dragon Lords’ series is stealing the charts. Yusef and Olena, the main characters, have instant love and attraction. Their trials and troubles were pretty adventurous. I loved reading this book so much I couldn’t put it down. Highly recommended and definitely a MUST read!
What can I say? I loved Olena and Yusef’s story. It has action, twists, a whole lot of Olena denying her feeling, some steamy scenes, attempted murders but in the end, a happily ever after ending.
Olena is a space pirate on the run, she boards a Galaxy Brides shit hoping for a safe place to lay low. Yusef is a dragon prince whose crystal lights up for Olena. Together they go through hell and back, but the nightmares finally go and they end up with an amazing bond.

I love this book, Yusef and Olena are two of my favorite characters to come out of the Qurilixen world. Michelle Pillow is a masterful storyteller, her imagination knows no boundary. I love escaping into the worlds that she creates for us. I was sad when this book ended but happy to move on to the next one. Great read!

This story is great, it’s entertaining and filled with action, adventure, and intrigue. The interaction and chemistry between the characters of Olena and Yusef is wonderful. I can’t wait for more from this author. I received this book as a FREE ARC copy to read and I voluntarily leave this review.
This is the POV of Yusef & Olena. Olena is my favorite stubborn wife so far. She is a space pirate with a horrific backstory. Poor Yusef has to work double time to win this one over & Tal, the doctor, has his hands full with Olena. This is a must read!
This series is set in the same time frame but with different POVs & is very refreshing. I love it being done this way. Michelle M Pillow is an expert at writing interesting, intriguing, emotional & romantic books.
Feisty, calculating Captain Olena Leyton and her adventures on the planet Qurilixen, world of the Dragon Lords is another at moment’s hilarious and definitely steamy grand story in this series. Hiding amongst the Galaxy brides headed for the planet her confidence in her ability to mesmerize males to get her own way will soon be given a rude awakening!
Prince Yusef, dragon Lord Shifter upon seeing Olena knows she is his mate and the games begin! Thoroughly enjoyable series entry, not to be missed!

Another great read by Michelle M. Pillow. Couldn’t put it down. Love how Olena was such a strong female character but Yusef was protective of her. When she went out of her way to protect Nadja. Love how she called her crew demons and they looked for her.

This story, the third in the Qurilixen Dragon Lords series, centers around Olena and Yusef. Olena is a space pirate on the run. She’s lost her ship and crew and takes the first opportunity she can to escape vengeful followers. The opportunity that presents itself is to take a place on a Galaxy Brides space ship headed for a barbarian planet where Olena can lie low for a while. Her plan, if she’s chosen, is to put up with a husband for a bit, hopefully convince him to leave her alone, then find a way off the planet to search for her crew. She doesn’t account for the effect that Yusef will have on her senses and her heart. Can Olena escape her handsome husband and get back to the life she loves? Or will her attraction to Yusef overcome her wanderlust and convince her to stay? If you like fast paced, steamy fantasy, with favorite characters who’s stories unfold more in each installment of this series, you’ll enjoy this book!
Wow, this entertaining dragon shifter romance was an absolutely fascinating book that I thoroughly enjoyed reading. There are some character crossovers but this book can easily stand on its own although I would suggest reading the series in sequence to fully understand the underlying storyline. The plot has good world building & there are some highly intriguing situations that are well-described. The characters are interesting, strong-willed individuals with opposing personalities but they actually complement each other perfectly although at times they are inclined to be quite confrontational towards each other.
It is about: a feisty female space pirate (Olena Leyton) on the run from the law seeks refuge on a galaxy bride ship & finds herself on a barbarian planet (Qurilixian) where she is chosen by a dragon shifter (Prince Yusef) but Olena is quite determined to resist Yuself attentions.
There is: adventure, action, intrigue, suspense, twists & turns, drama, law enforcement, bounty hunters, Draigs (dragon shifters), Vars (cat shifters), fated mates, secrets, mystery, rivalry, threats, danger, attacks, conflict, violence, abduction, deceit, manipulations, attractions, irritation, distrust, challenges, anticipation, vulnerability, disagreements, defiance, devastating memories, hardheadedness, mischievousness, confusion, misunderstandings, complications, vengeful feelings, contentment, some steamy scenes & a hard-earned satisfying conclusion. I enjoyed reading this book & would recommend it.
This is a super steamy sci-fi romance.. I liked it! It has loads of addictive drama and adventure, with wonderful characters!

This book is one in a series I would recomend you read them in order to get the best out of them. If you have picked this up and havent read the others you will still have a fantastic book to read. This book took me into the story and kept my attention. Michelle M Pillow gets you so invested in the charactors that you share their feelings and pain throughout the story. This book leaves you wishing for more at the end. Luckily there are more!
