Contains characters introduced in Bridal Pact and Bridal Bonds. Can be read as a standalone although reading the series gives more understanding of the characters. Warrior Dathrow has been waiting for a human bride for eons. When his first match falls for one of his warrior brothers, Dathrow’s anxious to find her replacement. Discovering he not only has a match, but one almost identical to his … original bride, Dathrow counts himself lucky. Pixie has the perfect life on Earth–until everything falls apart. And her sister Poppy is living in marital bliss with her space husband in a galaxy far far away. Why not join up? In the bridal program and matched with Dathrow, Pixie can’t believe her luck. Tall, gorgeous, and the way he fills out his leathers? Wow. But discovering Dathrow’s original match was Poppy, and worse, finding evidence he’s still in love with her threatens everything. Reader Advisory: This story has graphic sexual language and scenes–no closed bedroom doors (or other rooms) here! An adult science fiction romance from Ellora’s Cave

I enjoyed this book enough to buy two more of the Warriors of Phaeton. The characters were well-rounded and the plot was good. I enjoyed the relationship between the sisters, Pixie and Poppy. They were able to drive the men crazy with their sibling play fighting.
Pixie gets an alien too! I love this series! This story reads well, there are returning characters and the series arc is continued here but not really as a predominant factor in this episode. I do like the characters and the relationship building, but the interaction between Pixie and Poppy borders on tedious with a smidge of aggravation. Dathrow and Pixie are cute together but some of their interactions and conversations get a little repetitive. I’m not a fan of killing off good guy characters, it’s the second book in a row where it happens, and I’m not sure if I’m ready for that kind of heartbreak in a romance series. I am obviously continuing with the next book in the series, I enjoyed this one, just not as much as the ones before it.
Painful prose.
This was a cute twist on other alien bride books I’ve ready. I enjoyed the humor between the main character and her sister. Enjoyed it!
I thinkmy versionwas missing a whole section at the end. the epilogue came about and I had no idea how the courtroom scene resolved at all. No mention of it.
The book and its premise are interesting, however, the language…mostly the swearing was over the top. I found it very distracting from the story. Also how the two sisters spoke to one another was uncomfortable…why would sisters who love each other talk to each other that way.

Not long enough
Caroline, I’m surprised at how high your ratings was. You forgot to review the fact that in the LAST CHAPTER Dathrow has been imprisioned and starved for four days, is charged with treason — and– wait for it– THERE IS NO RESOLUTION. The Epilogue is the set up for the next book in the series and NO mention is even made about the Dathrow character. What is this, a write your on ending. Sheesh!
