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.

The celestial mates always know what you need
This is such an enjoyable book! The way these two are brought together when they weren’t really looking for a real connection brings truth to the thought that you find what you aren’t looking for. I love the way this broken soul finds her people, not just ones who care for her and have her back, but who she cares for as well. I would love to see more stories about the rest of the crew.
Desperation and true love. That is what I received from reading, Mated on Hades by Golden Angel.
Jules was on the run from The Representative and needed a place to hide. Tarrik’s parents wanted him to have a Mate. When Jules places an ad as a Celestial Mate and Tarrik’s parents respond with a “yes”, sizzling sparks and harsh words fly.
Anger turns to passion and the heat ignites a white-hot flame. Jules and Tarrik can’t keep their hands, and his tail, from one another.
Tarrick didn’t want a mate. He wanted to keep exploring different planets with his crew. When his mom and dad pushed him into it, he agreed that when Celestial Mates found a mate for him he would settle down and run the buisness. Juliette was a human on earth that didn’t believe in love anymore and she had learned not to trust anyone. When a contract was put out on her she did the only thing that she could think of, she applied to Celestial Mates. What better place to hide than on another planet. I absolutely loved this book. It has great characters, an intriguing storyline and sexy scenes hot enough to melt the pages. I would definitely recommend it.

I LOVE the Celestial Mates books!
She’s a Hacker through & through… A robber of the Rich to finance the Charities of the Poor… but when the HEAT’s getting to intense, it looks like it’s time to pack up her Motherboard & get OFF Planet…
Which finds her singing up for Celestial Mates & getting assigned to a MATE…
Now, she’s risking it ALL, going to a Planet far away, meeting a whole new Species of people, & taking a CHANCE on a Mate in order to find safety & maybe some LOVE & hopefully HAPPINESS too!! Talk about Bravery…
Unfortunately Her MATE’s NOT interested, especially NOT in a Human…
He’s being maneuvered into a Mating… D@mn it, he’s got things to do, & he doesn’t want it… At least NOT RIGHT NOW!
What the H€LL; travel to another Planet, just to be Rejected… Seriously! Who Does That?!! D@mn, if she wanted that kinda treatment, she coulda stayed on Earth…
Well, Hang on to your Alien Seats CAPTAIN, because this Earth Hacking girl’s gonna teach his Bad Boy Alien Butt ALL about DETERMINATION…
Yep, looks like her Hacking skills are going to be put to the ultimate TEST, hacking his HEART… She’s definitely In It To WIN IT!!
Ain’t No Stopping Her Now… She’s On The Loose!! Better Watch Out, Alien Mate, she’s comin’ for YOU!

What’s not to like here; Mated on Hades was a fun interesting read that kept me entertained throughout.
This was not especially long; which for me can sometimes be a bit of a deterrent to my overall enjoyment I found it didn’t really affect my experience that much here.
I loved the idea of Celestial Mates of different species being paired up, finding it such a fascinating concept to read about.
This one had such great imaginative world building and was one I was especially looking forward to delving into and it certainly didn’t disappoint, pulling me in and capturing my attention right from the onset.
I also adored the physical appearance of Tarrik with his horns, wings and all that smouldering heat finding it strangely hot and extremely sexy.
And man; that tentacle/Tail was super smokin it had a bloody mind all of its own; loved it, it was like it had its own separate individual personality.
Tarrik was also such a big man-child with his prickly personality; totally spitting his dummy out in regards to his little human Juliette and her perceived usefulness.
Totally loving the single life and captaining his ship with his rag-tag crew through space on his family’s trading vessel he thinks he’s living the dream and there’s no room in it for a useless pesky human.
Juliette herself was a very practical girl; a genius when it comes to technology and used to relying soling on herself due to lack of family entanglements it has also left her with a serious case of baggage.
with abandonment and trust issues she has closed off her heart with a brick wall.
On the run from some self-created trouble back on her home planet, Juliette plans to lie low till the dust settles.
Tarriks parents, mainly his mother want him to settle down with a mate so this is how these two very different individuals end up being paired together by Celestial and rubbing each other up in all the right and wrong ways.
And get ready to watch the sparks fly as these two sure turn up that heat in more ways than one.
So this one was a mega fun read and though short packed a real punch.
It was very easy to get lost in and had just the right mix of ingredients to hold my attention.
It had some great characters along with such incredibly fun world building a super enjoyable experience overall.
A big thumbs up from me folks.

Tarrik is a bit of numpty if I’m honest. he doesn’t want to upset his parents goal of travelling once they retire, but they won’t retire till he’s mated and he doesn’t think he’s ready yet. Luckily his family decide to do him a “favour” and sign him up to Celestial Mates. All he has to do now is make himself so unappealing no one will want him as a mate.
Pity Juliette is just desperate enough that she doesn’t care who her mate is, she just wants to be gome from Earth. Trying to prove herself to tarrik was hilarious, he just could not get past her profile – but if he lied in his why couldn’t he see that she might do the same, LOL.
Not usually a lover of Hentai type stories but this was a great read.
*WARNING* contains explicit sexual content
Jules is a genius hacker. Jules doesn’t have many friends, because she’s a thief and can’t afford to trust anyone. When Jule’s one friends tells her to run, she decides to sign up for a mate just to get of Earth for a few months, hopefully long enough for the Representative to forget about her.
Tarrik lives space travel and doing the deliveries for his parents business. When Tarrik returns home for a load and his mom demands him to find a mate, Tarrik remembers a dating site he once heard about. Tarrik does NOT want a mate, so he lied on the application to make it so no one would want him for a mate, or so he thought.
Excellent story. The best part for me was the alien MC was described as looking a lot like what us earthlings picture as the devil. The planet is called Hades. Everything about this says Hell, but this is the only place the female MC has been able to find true home and happiness. Love the duality.
Great characters. I like to hear more about Shonik. The story gave me all the feels of a SFR without dragging on forever. RECOMMENDED
Tarrik, a Hadesian, was the only child to his parents. His mother had finally had her fill and was demanding he take a mate. She wanted grandbabies. After much thought, Tarrik has agreed to sign up with the Celestial Mates Agency and once they found him a mate, he would come home to settle down. Until then he wanted to run the transport for his father’s company rather than actually running the business. Jules was a hacker. She liked to think of herself as a modern day Robin Hood, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. That’s exactly what she’s done. Hacking her way into the government and billion dollar industries and transferring funds to local charities and hospitals where it was needed. Of course, no one knew who she was so far, but she just received word her time was up. They were coming for her. As she was packing to leave and hide, she saw the ad for Celestial Mates. They guaranteed to find a mate and send you to him regardless of galaxy. Now all she had to do was stay alive long enough to find one and get there. Golden Angel has created an erotic alien storyline with a plot that will keep your interest peaked and characters with so much personality and flaws they become truly relatable. This book just flowed so well and the interactions kept me smiling almost the entire time. Oh, by the way, it did make me a little envious of the tail 😉
I love it. One of my favorites.
I absolutely love a good Golden Angel read,,,,,
This is a great story about Tarrik who is a captain of an alien ship,,,, he is very good looking,,, downright HOT one would say,,,, and he meets up with Juliette, an amazing hacker who likes to take from the rich,,,, sound like anybody you know,,,??? Maybe, oh, I don’t know, Robin Hood, but like in space, ya know,,,,??? But, then someone, like a bounty hunter, is out for Juliette ,,,,,
Tarrik admits he cares for Juliette and this story takes off very fast, maybe not faster than an alien ship,,, but right up there,,,, This story made me laugh and can we say HAWT,,,, you have got to know Golden Angel’s books, and if you don’t,,,, you really must,,,, I would totally recommend this book to anyone,,,, !!!

4.5 stars
A really fun, fast paced and wonderfully written story
I’ve not read any Celestial Mates books but I have read and enjoyed a couple of Golden Angel stories before. Knowing I like this author’s work AND that this is sci-fi (my all time favourite genre) I just couldn’t resist giving this book a try.
We have Tarrik, who agrees to sign up with the Celestial Mates dating agency just to stop his parents pestering him. He deliberately makes himself sound as unappealing as possible, so it comes as an awful shock when a few months later up pops a match for him. That match is Jules, a modern day version of Robin Hood who is in need of a safe place to hide from the Sheriff of Nottingham (otherwise called the Representative). Neither really wants to find a life partner, so you just know that the sparks will fly with this pair.
Despite being quite a short read, which I completed in one evening, this is still packed full of story. I loved Jules from the off, with her self-imposed loneliness and heart of gold. Tarrik takes a little warming to, even for a species who have quite a naturally high body temperature! However once he likes you then nothing and no-one will prevent him from keeping you safe.
This pair had wonderful chemistry and the book sizzles with their attraction. Even better this actually had a decent story line that really engaged my interest and some pretty decent world building too. My only wish is that I would have loved more of this book, some of the scenes could have been extended (I’m thinking of when they are on other worlds etc) and perhaps a longer epilogue/ them as a couple back on Tarrik’s home planet. However that is just a ‘me’ preference and in no way is meant to be negative.
I really enjoyed this book and would definitely read more if Golden Angel ever decides to continue with the sci-fi theme. It is one of those ‘uplifting’ reads, that leaves you with a smile and a warm, fuzzy glow. This is one little gem of a book that I am more than happy to recommend to friends and family.
A great addition to the Celestial Mates series. The two main characters have so many issues and are each just trouble. She’s running from her whole rob from the rich and give to the poor. He doesn’t want to settle down and not fly his ship. And boy do they not like each other and that just makes the sparks fly. Adventurous and hot, especially when a tail is added.
Loved Juliette, smart,tech savvy, a bit quirky but trouble seems to follow, even to other planets. Tarrick is arrogant but a good son that loves his parents, he has promised to marry even though he feels forced but he has a plan. Both are sign to the Celestial Dating Agency to solve there problems the major one they face is the attraction they feel for each other. An amazing kinky tail and a sexy adventure add up to a fast fun read. 4 1/2 Other World Stars
Another book in the Celestial Mates series and this was my favorite book in the series so far. A well-written story that once I started I was not putting it down until I had finished the book. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
One of my favorites! This book is everything I expect when I pick up something by Golden Angel. Her stories are super sexy with this humor that keeps me giggling throughout. I don’t know how she does it, but I hope she never changes.
The characters in this one are fantastic! Tarrik and Jules are joining the Celestial Mates Dating Service because they want to. Tarrik is guilt-ed into it from his parents, mostly his mom, and Jules thinks it will be the perfect place to hide. There first meeting doesn’t go smoothly and hilarity ensues. There is also a lot of steam and adventure that keep you glued to the pages. Side note: that tail!
I can’t recommend this one enough. It is pure joy from beginning to end and I loved it!
Juliette/Jules is a hacker on earth. She pictures herself as a female robin hood.She takes from the rich via hacking and gives what she hacks to charities that need it. Then one day she gets a message from another hacker she considers a friend. The Representative is someone the rich hire to send out after those they consider criminals. Jules has made his list. She starts packing trying to figure out where to go when she sees a vid ad for Celestial Mates. She fills out the application making it as bad as she can just hoping to be matched to someone who will eventually decide to send her back, hopefully in several months when the heat dies down. Meanwhile on Hades, Tarrik;s parents decide to find him a mate so make him fill out the application. He makes it the worse he can do so he won;t be matched. Surprise is one word to use when his mother calls him on his ship to let him know his match is on her way. Two people who are trying not to be matched much less mated but who find it hard to keep it platonic. Then near disaster strikes.
Oh my gosh!! Celestial Mates stories are the best and twine comedy with sensual allure.
Fantastic story!!

I am pretty sure I haven’t read any of the other Celestial Mates series but I have to say I loved this story. Golden did a fantastic job of dumping you right into Tarrik and Juliette world.
Juliette is running from bounty hunters that are after her. So she signs up for the Mating program to run and hide. When she is matched with Tarrik she finds out that he wants nothing to do with her.
Tarrik is pretty much made to sign up by his parents. So he exaggerates and lies on a few key questions. He is extremely surprised that they find him a mate so fast. When Juliette shows up he wants to fight the sparks that flow between them, but he can’t seem to.
I loved these characters, and the story is really really enjoyable.! This is a must-read.
This is an awesome must read. It has excitement, fun, hot and steamy, lots of emotions and so much more. His parents talk him into finding a mate and coming home to settle. He doesn’t want one and thinks the more unappealing he is that she won’t want him. She has ideas of her own on this. It is so much fun to read. And he has certain parts of his anatomy that is hot. I highly recommend it. I was given a review copy by booksprout and voluntarily review it.
This book was hot as hades!
For two people who didn’t want to have mates truly found their better halves.
Great read.
I received an advanced copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an unbiased , honest review.
Celestial Mates does it again! Even though Tarrik lies on his application, they find the perfect mate for him. And even though Jules just wants to escape Earth, they find her perfect mate in Tarrik. The descriptions of the shipmates and life on ship are good.
The only thing I would have liked was a little bit more description of the worlds they visited and how Jules reacted. There was a little bit, but more would be nice.
I look forward to more aliens from G.A.
