The Celestial Mates agency always knows what – or who – you need. Tarrik would do anything to avoid breaking his mother’s heart, so he begrudgingly signs up for Celestial Mates and agrees to come home and settle down once the agency finds his match. There’s just one catch: he’s not ready to give up his free and easy life traveling the galaxy. And he’s doing exactly as his mother asked, so what … asked, so what will it hurt if he makes himself as unappealing as possible on his mate application?
Juliette is a woman on the run. Her attitude, and more importantly her hacking skills, have pissed off all the wrong people. Now the target of a contract hit, she’s decided the solution to her problems is to leave the planet as fast as she can. The Celestial Mates program is exactly what she needs. By the time her “mate” realizes she’s impossible to live with, hopefully it will be safe for her to return to earth. She wasn’t counting on a seriously hot alien who looked like the devil and could do the most sinful things with his tail…
The sparks fly at first meeting when their chemistry ignites. But they can barely stand to be in the same room with each other.
They shouldn’t work at all.
But Celestial Mates always knows best.

When running away is the best thing to happen to you!
Jules is a hacker on earth. She has been taking from rich people or organizations and giving it to poor people or hospitals in need. But she pressed her luck too far when she stole from a wealthy group who hired someone to take her out. She decides to sign up to Celestial Mates in order to get off Earth.
Tarrik’s mother wants grandchildren. But Tarrik wants to remain flying in space not grounded to the planet. So he makes a deal that when the dating agency finds his mate he would stay home. He thought it would take at least a year not a couple months.
Needless to say neither one of them wanted the other. That made for some cute arguments and funny circumstances to happen.
I love the new world that Golden Angel created! Her imagination knows no limits! I hope there are more interactions coming with the beings that make up Tarrik’s crew on the ship.

This is my first book to ever by Golden Angel and I must say she has a very well written imagination and her characters jump right out of space at you. So if you enjoy a really amazing sci-fi contempary romance then Mated to hades is right up your celestial path and happy reading
The Hades planet is not exactly what one would think of when you think of the word Hades as hell, Hades planet is the home of the Hadesian people and is full of colors and yes a little warm but out of all the people on this planet there is one who really doesn’t want to settle down and that is Tarrik the Ship’s captain of one of his father’s trade ship. But upon his mother and father instant to settle down finally and to find a mate so that they can do all the things they want to finally do he agrees to fill out the application for Celestial mate only hoping that won’t be able so quick about it. Well boy was his horns wrong.
Jules an earthling who is your modern day robin hood who takes from the rich and loathsome and give to the poor and charities who can really use it by her way to awesome hacker skills, but her only best friend in the cyber world get coded message to her that Jules is now being hunted by the Ruthless evil assassins called the Representative, she now knows that she must go dark for a while or forever and fast. So its Celestial mates to the rescue. Little does she know her mate is literally out of this world?
Tarrik is not too thrilled to be stuck with an earthling as a mate but can’t seem to keep his tail to himself it seems it has a mind of its own, but will his mind and heart follow his tail? Jules feels hurt by his rejection but she can’t help by the way her body betrays her, her feelings are the same as his tail.
Tarrik and Jules must overcome many obstacles they put in their own paths and get out of their own ways to truly be happy, is there any way for two different species from two different planets to find the love and happiness they are both seeking?
“He tasted like smoke and sin and she wanted more.” -Jules
Tarrik loves his mother, and as such would do anything for her, even signing up with Celestial Mates, a dating agency. And, as if that isn’t enough, he’s such a good son, once he’s matched, he’ll return home and settle in with his mate. *cue happiest Mother ever* Well, he might have a trick up his sleeve though. This can’t happen until his match is found, so he tells some fibs on the application, intentionally making himself sound awful, and that way he can continue traveling the galaxy. It’s a win-win, right? His mom believes he’s trying, and technically he is…though his version is trying to sabotage his chances.
Juliette is running. Uh no, not for fun. Who would do that? LOL For her life. See, she’s very good at, well, she’s a hacker. And those skills have upset some people, as has her attitude, and now there’s a hit out on her. Yes, those are real, she knows from actual experience. She’s come up with the best solution to save her life though. They can’t kill her if she leaves the planet. The easiest way to do that is join a dating agency. Once she’s matched, and her mate realizes he really can live without her because she’s going to ensure she’s a lot to deal with, she should be safe returning to earth. It’s a win-win, right?
Both Tarrik and Jules believe they’re scamming the system, making it work for them, until they meet. The chemistry is instant and intense when they first meet. However, that doesn’t make it any easier to be in the same room. They’d rather be anywhere else. They shouldn’t work. But the Celestial Mates disagrees and knows they couldn’t be more right for each other.
What happens when Tarrik is paired with a human? Will Jules prove she isn’t the gold digger he assumes she is? How will Tarrik feel as she shows her usefulness and wins over his crew? Can Jules cope with all the changes, and Tarrik’s obvious dislike of her humanity, in order to save her life? Will this alien and human find a common ground? Or will their feelings for one another not be enough? Is Jules truly safe? Will Tarrik protect her if not? Is a HEA possible?
One-click now and follow along as two people with their own agendas still discover the love meant to be theirs, even if they don’t want to accept it. I like the uniqueness of this plot. No, it’s not the first alien/human pairing, but it does have a new twist to it. I enjoyed reading as Tarrik began to see Jules for the woman she was, not as a human, so to speak. Watching them fall for each other was believable and keeps you intrigued so you can’t wait to see what happens next.- By Elizabeth
I love Golden Angel’s big, bad bunnies, so I grabbed the opportunity to read this ARC. I was not disappointed! Mated On Hades is a kinda short, very sweet love story with some pretty steamy sex. And a tail…oh, that tail…
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Fun and steamy inter-species romance with a wee bit of kink and a whole lotta love.
Tarrik, devoted Hadesian son of a grandbaby-mad mom and a dad who is ready to retire and roam the galaxy, doesn’t want to let the parental units down – but he also doesn’t want to be the planet-bound businessman and daddy they want him to be. So, he signs up for a dating agency and goes off on another space mission, confident they’ll never find anyone to match the trumped-up tacky profile he’s given them. Juliette, a digital-age Robin Hood, has hacked into one too many corporate financial systems and “donated” too much of the profits to hospitals and charities. She’s been made, and now she’s hunted. Best ticket off Earth? Sign up for some stupid space dating agency and let them match her to an alien. That should keep her under the radar until the heat dies down, or until her match finally rejects her (because that’s how her dates always go). Juliette and Tarrik make the same colossal mistake: they sign up with Celestial Mates, the mating agency that ALWAYS finds the perfect match. Crazy sexy (the tail is just TOO…) and unexpected compatibility are the result. Enjoy it!
This my friends gives a new meaning to a threesome. Who needs 2 guys when you can have an Alien with a wicked tail? It’s a fast paced storie but it still has those great caracthers that make you think: i know someone like that!
This is the story of Jules, forced to flee from Earth because of her propensity for surreptitiously funneling funds from a greedy government into needy hospitals and other charitable organizations. With her life in danger, she manages to furtively sneak away by signing up for a cosmic mating service. Meanwhile, Tarrik, a male from Hades, possessing red skin, two wings, two curled horns and one tentacle tail, agrees to sign up for the same service in order to placate his mother, who feels it is time to have a grandchild. The agency pairs them, although neither is really interested in mating.
I LOVED this story. It was emotional, yet logical and filled with just enough angst to keep me interested and unable to put it down. And, OMG! It had some of the most erotic sex scenes I have ever read. I did not know there were so many sexy, wonderful, mind-blowing ways to describe the act between a human female and an other-world male who has a body that physically heats up and an overactive tail. Golden Angel’s own words, “erotically thrilling”, was used to describe one scene. For me, those two words describe the entire book!
In desperation, Jules, an expert computer hack finds herself in big trouble. She thought of herself as a modern day Robin Hood who stole from large corporations and anonymously deposited the funds into the accounts of the needy. She’s been found out and The Representative, a man known for being a lethal, terrifying, deadly and always successfully doing his job for his clients, is sent to neutralize Jules. She goes to Celestial Mates in the hopes that being off Earth would protect her. Jules is matched to a mate named Tarrik, a Hadesian, he’s red, has wings and horns and a tail that is multi-talented. Neither Jules or Tarrik really want a mate but both have their reasons for applying for a Celestial Mate. Tarrik and Jules both hope their mate will reject them, but fate has a different end in mind. Tarrik’s tail sure likes Jules. As Jules is welcomed by Tarrik’s parents and befriended by his crew, Tarrik is slowly learning that Jules is more than he thought at the start. Jules is learning that the hot red alien and his very interesting tail just might be an interesting diversion from her escape from earth and her match by Celestial Mates. The unlikely pair keep finding more and more things to admire about each other, there is definitely an added bonus for Jules with Tarrik’s tail! I totally enjoyed Ms. Angel’s new foray into the sci-fi genre and her imagination when describing the different type aliens Jules meets along the way. I was especially interested in how the confrontation would be handled when The Representative would finally show up. I was happy with every word I read and hope to see more of this type of writing from Golden Angel, it’s a winner as far as I’m concerned.
I thoroughly enjoy Golden Angel’s Big Bad Bunnies and alien mate agencies, so I thought I would give this story whirl. Take a girl with a Robin Hood complex (who PO’d the wrong people), alien that is enjoying his life traveling the galaxy (with no plans to settle down), a fixer (that NEVER fails), a determined set of parents (wanting to retire and have grandbabies), and let’s not forget a prehensile tail with a mind of its own and you have a very freakin’ entertaining story.
The interactions between our two stubborn main characters that refuse to admit any kind of feelings to the other, keep the story flowing. Tarrik is hot (and I don’t just mean his body temperature) and I loved his tail. The author really spent some time giving us so many different aliens and giving them such different traits and exciting worlds to inhabit.
Wowie! I totally enjoyed this book. I like alien romances and this one did not disappoint. I love the character and the physical attributes, especially the tail! Tarrik and Juliette are so good together although their story is not without its difficult spots. Writing flows and is easy to read. I would recommend this book to any reader who is looking for a spicy (hot) alien romance!!
A book that takes part in the Celestial Mates world.
Tarrik doesn’t want to be mated, let alone to a human and Juliette needs a place to hide. Not a great start to a relationship.
I loved the description of all the different worlds and inhabitants. Juliette, has a wonderful characters. I loved her zest for life, her wanted to help people and her smarts. She made me laugh.
Tarrik is a good guy under rough exterior and he was very protective of Juliette. And then that tail. OMG. It was hot but also very sweet.
This book was a fun quick read and you can tell the author had a blast writing it.
I love this book, from the character descriptions to the interaction with other species. Tarrik doesn’t like Jules on principle- she’s human and he doesn’t want to give up space traveling and settle on a mate. Jules is a hacker and a computer genius on the run from the Administrator. She fills out her Celestial Mates application with having no intentions of following through once she gets paired with a mate. Tarrik and Jules are drawn to each other despite their being complete opposites. Will they find love or will Jules past wreck their future?
