Once a commander with the Intelligence Core for the Coalition Fleet, a mission gone wrong forced Chloe to return to Earth injured and dishonored. But she’s seen too much and is restless in civilian life. This drives her to do whatever it takes to return to space, to where she belongs, so she volunteers as an Interstellar Bride. She’s shocked to discover her mate is human, but he’s like no one … else she’s ever met…and he’s taken a second, a huge Prillon warrior equally determined to seduce her body and win her heart.
ReCon Captain Seth Mills lost both of his brothers to the Hive and vows to continue fighting. His bride is an unwelcome shock and he agrees to the Prillon custom of taking a second to protect the innocent woman destined to be his. No matter how determined he is to resist her allure, one touch, one kiss, and he knows he can never let her go.
Although she surrenders to their dominant touch, Chloe is no innocent. She’s a commander with secrets she can’t share. And when the entire Battlegroup is caught in a deadly Hive trap, she’s the only one who can save them all, no matter the cost. But Chloe’s mates won’t let her go into battle alone. No matter the risk, they’re willing to sacrifice everything…and fight for their mate.

I LOVED this book! The interstellar mates program books are the best, I love each
one more than the last.
For this, we have one human and one Prillian Warrior for our human mate, Chloe.
We get to see our favorite Warden Egara again too, I can’t wait for her to get her
story.
Captain Seth Mills is matched with Chloe through the Interstellar Brides program
but what she learns when she arrives is that Seth has a Second, a mate that will
share, love and protect Chloe should anything happen to her mate. Chloe’s other
mate is a big strong Prillion warrior named Dorian, both Seth and Dorian will be
Chloe’s mates and she has 30 days to accept or reject the match.
The Commander, Karter summons Chloe to him when he learns who Chloe is,
it turns out she was also a Commander before she was wounded and released
from duty. Chloe’s mates are ranked below Chloe!
There are many things the three mates learn about each other but first is the fact
that they all seem in sync with their desire for each other and the strong bond they
have through their collars that share the feelings all three experience.
There is outter space war and Chloe helps with her skills and experience as an
intellegence officer with the Coalition and her enhanced and secret implants.
I can’t explain further without revealing the full story but know it is a great book
that I highly recommend you read.
I can hardly wait for the next book about the Interstellar Brides Program!!!
I love the Interstellar Bride series, the spin offs The Colony and Rogue 5, I can say that this is one I have been looking forward to for ever, not just cuz of the bride, but because of the men, the blending of the Males from different worlds, I LOVE IT, can’t wait for more of it!! you will fall into these books and never want to leave!
One-Click No Brainer!
Another fantastic addition to the Interstellar Brides Series “Fighting For Their Mate” has plenty of action (yeah, that kind… and that kind too!) intrigue and sweet romance. With stellar characterizations, this latest edition features a truly capable heroine, two of the hottest heroes to date and awesome secondary characters. Extremely fast paced and professionally written “Fighting For Their Mate” is a standalone story-line and reading of prior installments is not necessary for total enjoyment. The Coalition’s fight against the evil Hive is the basis for the series but each book features an entirely new couple (or mates) with a completely different and unique narrative. Feel free to jump right in, pick and choose which to read or read them all, you will not be disappointed!

As with the other Interstellar Bride books by Ms. Grace Goodwin, they read great as a continuing saga, but each book will read well as a stand-alone. The story is full of secrets, danger, missions, adventure, angst, attitude, loyalty, passion, love, duty and yes, some karma, too. This is the story of Chloe Phan, Seth Mills, both of Earth and Dorian of Prillon, and a new beginning at Battlegroup Karter.
Chloe Phan at been Commander with IC but after another commander’s actions lead to the death of many team members and her injured, the blame went against her and not him, forcing her into medical retirement. She held a secretive codetalker position and is unable to talk about her service because of the level of security clearance. She will choose to enter the Interstellar bride program and go back into space because she doesn’t feel she belongs on Earth anymore.
Captain Seth Mills and Captain Dorian work in a dangerous area under Commander Karter. What a shock to learn that Seth has been matched with his mate and she is arriving soon. Dorian, as a Prillon, was to be second to his cousin in claiming a mate together, but the Hive had killed his cousin. Seth knowing the Prillon custom will ask Dorian if he will be his second, and together they will claim the bride that is on her way. His reasoning is the danger of their missions, and not wanting to leave a widow or children alone, once mated, they can’t return to Earth.
“Are you sure about this?” She asked me, but turning her attention back to Seth. “He’s Prillon. You’re human. If we do this, you can’t change your mind later and go, caveman, if I want to jump his bones. Or if I fall in love with him, too. Or if I have a Prillon baby instead of a human on.” She was listing off these possibilities as if they were sure, foregone conclusions. That she would love me. Desire me. Want my child in her womb.”
It is agreed upon by the three of them, and also to add the Prillon custom of mating bands wore around all three necks that would state to the world, they were claimed. The bands also shared feelings and emotions among the three.
The story will take on life and death, and because of Chloe’s expertise and experience, she will go back into active duty with Battlegroup Karter. While she will be fourth in command as a Commander, behind their quarter doors, she will be their submissive and surrender to them as their mate.
“Two men. Wanting me. Loving me. Protecting me. Touching me. “Yes. Dorian. I want you. I want both of you.” “It was wild and rough. Dark and dirty. Carnal and primitive. I loved it.” “They had much to prove, for a while I was a commander, I was their mate. Under their complete control.”
The entire Karter team will be battling with the Hive, and it will take Commander Phan and an Atlan Warlord to make a difference. Life and death aren’t just for this area; it was many planets and colonies, even Earth that needed their skills to defeat the enemy and survive.
“Nothing in my life had gone according to plan, and I’d never been so grateful.”
This is a great book!
Once again this book is part of a series but you don’t have to read the previous book to understand this one.
It is well written, sexy it has great characters. The story is captivating. It is nice to see a strong heroine and having ahuman and prillon mate is a nice twist.
I received an arc form the author but also bought the book on ama…ca to support this great author.
I am not going to lie, I am totally enamored with the Interstellar Brides series and all of its spin off series (The Colony and Rogue 5). I know I am a broken record but I have to say that the Atlan stories are my favorites and the author totally hit this one out of the park, as the fourth main character is an Atlan.
This book was so engrossing and the story so complete that I didn’t feel that anything was missing. Chloe is like the small town girl that goes out and sees the world and returns home to find that she no longer belongs there. Seth has been fighting on the front lines and sees the dangers that the Coalition face and can’t turn his back on those he is protecting. Dorian is a Prillon and he knows that a matched mate is a gift beyond compare.
This story takes place on the front lines and has plenty of action. There is plenty of steamy horizontal action, as well (but it is easily skipped over, if you are not into the detailed scenes). I can’t say much about the specifics of the story as it will give away too much but Chloe’s past in the I.C. puts her in a position to help the battlegroup in its darkest hour with the help of our latest and greatest Vet.
A fantastic epilogue, totally wraps up Chloe, Seth, and Dorian’s story.
I wholeheartedly recommend all of Grace’s Interstellar Brides books. I will admit that I am on Grace’s review team – but only so that I can get her books before they go on sale. Even though I have been given a copy by the author, I have purchased EVERY single Interstellar Bride book, as noted by my “Verified Purchase” stamp of approval on all my Interstellar Bride reviews on Amazon – you need to support your favorite authors so that they can keep on writing awesome stories.
Chloe has grown tired of her boring life on earth so she volunteers as an interstellar bride. She his paired to an earth man but during the matching process she sees two men. Seth wants to have wife and children but not while his still fighting the enemy. Dorian’s race always takes a mate in pairs he offers to be Seth’s second that way they both can have a mate. This was a great read Chloe, Seth and Dorian had amazing chemistry. Seth and Dorian were so protective of Chloe. This was an engaging fast paced read with suspense, mystery, one strong woman and 2 hot alpha males. I voluntarily received an advance arc copy through Booksprout for an honest review.
Grace Goodwin NEVER disappoints!! I am totally hooked on the Interstellar Brides series and all the spin off series: The Colony and Rogue 5. I could not stop reading “ Fighting for their Mate”, the newest addition to the Interstellar Brides series. Each book is a stand alone but they intertwine and it is wonderful to read all of them. The sensuous, passionate feelings between Chloe, Seth and Dorian has us on edge throughout the story. I am enamored at the way Grace Goodwin was able to connect two earth people and a Prillon warrior so successfully and lovingly. A well written, fast paced story, full of suspense, mystery, intrigue, gorgeous Alpha males, strong woman, romance and sensual HOT scenes. The characters are well developed – we adore them, care about them and worry about them. Another story to enchant, delight and enthrall us!! Thank you Grace Goodwin!
An erotic Sci-Fi masterpiece!
It had been too long since I read one of Grace Goodwin’s Interstellar Brides novels – and I cannot wait for the next one!
This series has so much to offer a reader – otherworldly humanoids (some even with alien technology in-bedded in them) who are all dominant, alpha, possessive males and loyal to a fault to their mates; constant intrigue and fast-paced action; searing BDSM overtones; feisty, strong female characters; and in the case of FIGHTING FOR THEIR MATE (Interstellar Brides #12) – a very sizzling menage a trois!
The story line is strong and lends itself well as a stand alone read, but please do not limit yourself to just this one book. The full series is incredible. The character development is on-point, with secondary characters begging for their own stories in the future. This is a book you will be so caught up in reading, that you’re left craving more of this series when it ends.
It’s no secret that I love this series, and my expectations were firmly met with this one. It’s a super spicy, sexy read, full of alpha males and a very strong female. I’m so glad that Seth got his story, and all I can say about Dorian is HOLY HOTNESS! The romance between them and Chloe is as sweet as it is sexy, and I couldn’t put it down once I started it. Keep up the amazing work, Grace! I can’t wait for the next one!
Grace Goodwin is one of those authors who is a guaranteed 1 click for me. I love her mix of scifi and romance. Her world-building is simply some of the best that I have ever seen. It’s a big world with some pretty defined edges, but not so defined that she can’t make changes or add new series or rules in. Really, just very well done books, altogether.
Fighting for Their Mate is an admirable addition to the Interstellar Brides series.
Chloe worked for the Coalition Intelligence department. When her stint was done, she was sent back to Earth, but it was like putting on a coat that no longer fit. She knew too much and had seen too much and Earth was just too small for her anymore. So she signed up for the IBP.
Seth is a human whose sister is happily mated to an Atlan. She gave him the gift of testing for a mate. It had been a year, and he was pretty happy with that. He didn’t want to have a mate and then end up leaving her alone if something happened.
Dorian is a Prillon warrior. They always mate in pairs, so that their mate is never left alone without someone to protect her and their children. When Seth gets matched, he gets really upset. When Dorian talks to him and finds out his worry, he volunteers to be Seth’s second, so that their mate and children would never be left alone.
I loved this story. I loved the fact that Seth chose to go the way that he did. Chloe may be my new favorite woman in this whole universe, and that’s saying something. She’s really strong, she’s really smart, and she fights really hard for the things that she knows are right. She’s also madly in love with her mates and is more than happy to be with them.
This book has some different aspects to most of the other IB books, but I think that it really enhances the book, and I’m looking forward to seeing how the next book plays out.
Fighting For Their Mate is Book 12 in the Interstellar Brides Series. Each of the books in this series can be read as a standalone. This is Chloe Phan (human bride), Seth Mills (a human warrior) & Dorian Kanakor’s (a Prillon warrior) story.
Chloe was a commander with the Intelligence Core for the Coalition Fleet but, she was hurt on a mission gone wrong. She is bored and ready to do whatever it takes to go back into space. She volunteers as an Interstellar bride and is mated to Seth a “human”.
I love Seth! He fights for what he believes is right. Even if it knocks him back a rank. Seth is matched with Chloe Phan and the only way he will marry her is if Dorian will be a second partner. Their job is dangerous and Seth doesn’t want to leave Chloe alone if something happens to him.
I enjoyed reading Fighting For Their Mate. It is a fairly quick book to read that is full of adventure, love & loving going on.
I think that Grace Goodwin is the Queen of sci-Fi/Fantasy ménage Romance and I feel that I need to read every one of her books. At least that is a goal of mine. I give Fighting For Their Mate 4 stars. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.
Chloe is a highly skilled former intelligence officer for the coalition. She doesn’t handle her life as a discharged civilian very well and volunteers for the interstellar bride program. She gets matched with Captain Seth Mills and Prillon warrior Dorian. While she is learning how to be their mate, they have to learn to live with the fact that she will be actively fighting against their enemy the Hive. There is quite a bit of action scenes and plenty of sexy times. Another great book!
This is a great book. Love the sexiness of it and the characters are well done.
Awesome. I love this whole series. Cant wait for the next book.
This book was funny sassy sexy exciting thrilling tantalizing read loved the characters two dom S and one very hot human that has her secrets but falls for both loves yea!
I enjoyed reading this book, it has a great storyline. 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.
I LOVE anything from Grace Goodwin. She is an amazing writer and a frequent reread for me. Finally got to read about Seth after hearing from him in a few books previous.
Very day read
I love love love the Interstellar Brides Series. This one sucked me in because at last we had a Earthlin (???) groom! Also, I love when a bride is bad a$$ and can not only hold her own in space but out rank her mates! You go Girl!
