Matchmaker Brenna Zachary is busy connecting Jekh’s loneliest hearts yet has no romance of her own. That is, until a practical friend makes her an offer of marriage she can’t resist. The industrious and hardworking Herris Deshtan is offering her both marriage and independence. In exchange, he gets to have the family he’s been craving since losing his during the planet’s recent conflicts.Now … conflicts.
Now Brenna’s former suitor is at loose ends. Although he’s a traditional male of the Bouk sect and less interested in securing a bride, Rajan Sunamane can concede that he should have secured Brenna’s hand sooner. However, he’d always assumed that Brenna would be there whenever he was ready. And now, not only has Herris interfered, but he’s already secured his claim with a baby. If Rajan doesn’t wheedle his way back into Brenna’s good graces, his mother—who’s had her heart set on having Brenna as a daughter for a decade—will disown him. There’s no worse fate for a Bouk.
While Rajan might be able to convince Brenna to accept him back into her good graces, and into a traditional Jekhan trio, Herris doesn’t intend to be in another one. Brenna is enough for him…or so he claims. There’s a hidden darkness in Herris that Brenna doesn’t know about and Rajan believes he’s the only man who can temper it.

Love this series. Match was well worth the wait. Could be read as a stand alone, but would highly recommend reading the series in order.
Loved Herris, Brenna, and Rajan’s story. After the McGerry revolution, Herris and Brenna both end up on the Beshni farm. They become good friends. Both losing their families, him to the occupation and her to betrayal, by her own father and brother.
Herris has spent the last 2 year looking for his young daughter, Dania. Brenna has been running a marriage brokerage, recruiting women from Earth for Jekh males ready to start a family. Herris had done all he can to find his daughter, now he just has to wait and hope. He is ready to settle down, rebuild his life and is ready to start a new family and he wants Brenna to be the mother of his children.
Rajan was Brenna’s childhood friend until her father banished him from the house. His mother Restaden, Brenna’s father’s house keeper, loved her like a daughter. When she found Brenna on the farm. She brought Rajan with her in hopes of making a match.
A fast paced and a little steamy sifi romantic suspense with MM, and MFM. Brenna is big-hearted. Herris is an alpha, a bit of a snob, truly cares for his family and friends. Rajan is a man child. Herris no BS stance and Brenna’s easy going nature, help him grow up. Loved Donna, Brenna’s mom. A great set of for Eileen and Edger. I already want to knock Eileen upside the head. She is in need of some home truths from Courtney and Precious. Can’t wait for their story.
Brenna, Rajan and Herris
Until this book came out I had no idea of how starved I was for a new Jenkh book.
The series is probably one of the best I have been reading. The characters are so well developed and the story line flows smoothly in each book with no repetition.
The author manages to catch the reader up on the previous characters without overwhelming the reader with useless information. It is like reading a living history but still keeping true to the main characters of the actual story.
If you want to read about an off world that the people of earth tried to suppress after they a had already been genetically created by other aliens you cannot go wrong with this collection.
Straight fan of this series.
great read
This was a enjoyable and entertaining read. Even though I enjoyed this book there were a couple of things that bug me. First I have always like Brenna but I didn’t remember her being so compliant. I also had mixed feelings about Herris I didn’t feeling like his intentions towards Brenna was sincere. He was just using her and she was going to be okay with being used. I had a problem with that!!! I know that sometimes being lonely makes you make bad decisions. I’m just glad in the end she found her backbone. Overall a good read and I can’t wait to see what else is in store for this series. I voluntarily read and review this ARC no monetary compensation was received the opinions I have expressed are my own.
