Destiny Jones is a princess with a bad attitude. She doesn’t play nice with others, she doesn’t dress up in pretty clothes, and she has absolutely zero interest in behaving like a lady. Especially when she’s so close to catching the people who tried to have her killed. Oh, and kidnapped her mother, queen of the planet Alera. Destiny’s sex-starved body, and it’s annoying Aleran Ardor, might kill … kill her if her enemies don’t find her first.
Vennix was trained to hunt and to kill from the shadows. After years of serving in the Hive wars as an elite member of the Coalition’s Shadow Unit, he returned home to fight for the one thing he believes in, honor. Dedicating his life to the queen’s guard was an easy decision—but watching the most beautiful woman he’s ever met repeatedly risk her life is about to drive him mad.
Because Destiny is his. His body awakened for her. And if his new mate thinks Nix will stand idly by as she suffers without his skillful lover’s touch, she is very, very mistaken…
Ardor or not, she’s hunting a killer. Nix is going all protective, alpha male, claiming she’s his mate just because she had a few mind-blowing moments in his bed. And she’s trapped deep undercover in the most dangerous place on the planet. If anyone discovers the truth, she’ll be dead. But if she gives up now, her mother will be lost forever.
Every time they get close, their enemy slips through their fingers like a thousand grains of sand. The hunt is on. The end is near. And if Nix dies protecting her, she’ll never forgive herself.

I was granted an ARC of Grace Goodwin’s “Destiny: Ascension Saga: Books 7, 8 & 9 (Volume 3) (Interstellar Brides®: Ascension Saga Book 12)” via Booksprout; I recommend this book to others based upon its own merits. All opinions expressed within this review are uniquely my own & freely given!
Until next time… Happy Reading!
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 hooked this reader/reviewer within the first paragraph of the Prequel to this AMAZING “ASCENSION SAGA!” “DESTINY” is the third Volume of the “ASCENSION SAGA,” and tells the story of Destiny’s romance with stunningly handsome and lethal Coalition Special Forces officer, Nix. However, there is so much more in this third volume of the “ASCENSION SAGA” than their STEAMY mating to read about and swoon over! Might I also suggest that readers clear the calendar for the next several hours with a glass of wine (or water if you prefer) and dive in? Beyond the reading prep, what prospective readers need to know is how easily Goodwin’s smooth pose will capture a reader’s imagination. Add to this how rapidly the dual narration or alternating voice between the heroine and hero of “DESTINY” will endear the characters to a reader’s heart, it is no surprise that readers begin rooting for their future happiness early on. Prospective readers should also know that the intensely complex, action-packed, and compelling plotline will pull them out of our world and take them inside the matriarchal world of Aleran! Aleran, a planet where men stay virgins until “awakened” by their true mate! Additionally, readers should be aware that Destiny is No Disney Princess, nor are her sisters, Trinity and Faith, Disney-like; except that they are all three strong, intelligent women who know what they want, what they need to do, and are determined to make their plan succeed. Their mother’s life depends upon their success. This is the third and final Volume of the “ASCENSION SAGA,” and the twists and turns found within its pages will knock your socks off! It is my sincere hope that you will fall in love with these sister Princesses of Aleran as I have! I voluntarily read an ARC copy of “DESTINY: Ascension Saga (Volume 3)” and this is my honest review and 5+STAR recommendation! “DESTINY” is now live and for sale on Amazon. I STRONGLY suggest you purchase and then read this wonderful second part of the “ASCENSION SAGA” today, then, settle back, and enjoy the emotional ride through the life of a real Sci-fi princess! Happy Pages!
