Her freedom comes with a price—her hand in marriage.After spending ten years behind bars, Leah is offered early release if she agrees to become an alien mail order bride. Though she’s nervous about the prospect of marrying a complete stranger—a huge Martian, no less—she’s also desperate for freedom. She reluctantly agrees with the parole board’s terms and soon finds herself traveling to Mars, … to Mars, where she meets Jav, the huge muscular alien who will become her husband. She soon realizes he’s not like other Martians—he’s a genetically enhanced warrior, and he cannot help his feral need to claim her over and over again. He seems to harbor a growing affection for her, yet she can’t help but worry—what will he do if he learns of her past?
Jav is beyond pleased with the little human called Leah. She’s everything he has ever hoped for in a mate—charming, kind, and passionate in the bedroom. He senses she’s not telling him the truth about her past, though he’s certain she’ll open up to him as they become better acquainted. As the days pass, his desire for her grows stronger and his heart aches with tenderness whenever he thinks of her. But his newfound happiness is shattered when Leah is accused of a terrible crime. Can he help clear her name and keep her safe, or will he be forced to say goodbye to his sweet human bride forever?

I want a ravenous alien mate! Jav was finally getting his human mate and since he is a “enhanced” warrior, he is ravenous for Leah. Leah signed up to be an alien mate because it was the only way she could get out of prison earlier than her 25 years. She is immediately attracted to Jav but is reluctant to tell him all her history. Eventually they both overcome their pasts to get their happily ever after. This is a well written and enjoyable read.
I like Leah and Jav. I think that Leah got the second chance she needed, and Jav got the family that he wanted. There was a minute when I thought that I was going to have to be really mad at someone, but it worked out.
Ravenous mate by Sue Mercury.
This is book 3 of Savage martians series.
I really enjoyed this book. I loved the story. Great cover. I hope there is more to come. Thanks to Booksprout and sue Lyndon. 5*. Would definitely recommend this book.
Leah is a prisoner granted early release in exchange for becoming a bride to a Martian warrior. Jav, a great warrior and friend to the king, is longing for a family of his own. Leah is ashamed of her criminal past. Will she be able to keep the details away from her new husband? Will he still want her? “Ravenous Alien Mate” is sweet yet extremely passionate. Jav is so enamored of his mate that he will do anything to keep her happy and safe. While no pushover, he is fair even when faced with her deception. This book kept me intrigued until the last page with it’s tension and emotion. Great plot with themes of moving forward, honesty and loyalty without judgement. There are 2 stories before this one with shared characters – I have to read those, too! This one starts off dark but ends with the reader feeling the love in this romantic sci-fi adventure! 5 stars.

Easy, fast paced read. This is part of a series but I believe it will stand alone just fine. Leah has had some problems in the past but she’s willing to marry an alien in order to gain her freedom. Jav is happy to have a human wife but hes more than just a huge alien “martian”. Fun characters with personality and a backstory that doesn’t overwhelm the relationship. Fun, fast read.
I liked that Leah joins the Martian Bride program so she can get out of jail and she is mated with Jav. I really enjoyed their story from start to finish.

Leah made a foolish mistake when she was 18. She was paid for it for the past 10 out of 25 years. Upon her good behavior she has the choice of going back to jail or pleading her case for early parole. She is given an offer she can’t refuse. Be a Marttiaxoxalian’s bride or go back to jail. Well with that no brainer, she becomes a mail order bride. Jav, one of the King’s elite Vash’arr warrior was given time to meet his bride. He is attracted to her and knows upon arrival that Leah is his mate. Jav being one of trusted warrior with secret missions can’t wait to meet his bride. Leah was given the suggestion to never look back and accept the second chance to a new life. She is worried that stretching the truth about being incarcerated will effect her Mate from accepting her and sending her back to jail. What’s a bride to do? No cliffhanger, just a lot of steaming interludes

When she gets to Mars her mate Jav isn’t what she expected. He is kind and caring. She develops strong feelings for him and is afraid if, he discovers the secret of her past, he’ll send her back to Earth. Will she be able to tell him the truth before it’s too late? Jav adores her and he’s an Alpha who would do anything for his mate. To keep things interesting, Sue Mercury has the secret come to life before Leah has the opportunity to tell Jav. Will Jav stand beside her? Will he still want her? Ummmm, guess it’s time you picked up the book and read and entertaining, emotional and well-written story. Oh, and discover the answer.
Does Leah deserve a happy future after the mistakes in her past?
by sewsummore
After spending the last ten years in prison, Leah was happy to accept the offer of freedom and a mate of her own. Jav had long dreamed of having a mate and family of his own. After meeting Leah, he knew his dreams would soon be a reality. Leah kept the truth of her life before Jay a secret, fearful that he would judge her harshly for the youthful mistakes she had made. The relationship between Jav and Leah progressed very quickly from strangers to mates but, the chemistry between them feed their yearning for a different life together. When the truth of her past is revealed, Leah thought her world had come to an end, but there were more shocks to come. I enjoyed this quick story of human/alien love. Both Leah and Jave had painful episodes in their lives and deserved a future filled with love and happiness. Does Jay forgive Leah the lies she told? You will have to read the book to find out.

This is an amazing story! I loved every second of it. I was so glad to see Jav finally get his story. He was one of my favorite characters from the other books in this series.
Jav has been alone since he was a child. He had a chance to become a Vash’arr warrior to help his race. He finally has a chance to get a mail order bride from Earth and get a family that he has longed for. Leah has been in prison for 10 years for a crime. She is offered a chance to get out of prison and go to Mars. She takes it and hopes that her new mate will be kind. Jav and Leah connect quickly but she decides to leave her past 10 years a secret. When her past is discovered what would happen to them?

This is the story of Leah and Jav. I fell in love with the characters early in the book. Sue Mercury describes the feelings so well that it’s easy to feel along with the characters. Knowing the story line that Leah, at some point in the story, is accused of a crime I almost wanted to skip over that part as I didn’t want to read about any discord between the pair. Sue writes with such descriptions that I could easily picture the story in my mind as I read. It’s a great easy read and is highly recommended.

I really enjoyed Jav and Leah’s story. Something about second chances and starting over just kind of resonates. However, when it starts on a lie and seems to snow ball out of control, it seems like Leah’s “Happily Ever After” was disappearing right before her eyes and the guilt gnaws at her because Jav is so wonderful to her, not the savage conquerors that they had been lead to believe when they took over Earth. Well written, great characters and some unexpected twists and turns. This was a great read.

Jav is quite the charmer. Heck, he had me falling for him after just a few words with Leah. He’s too perfect to be anything but fiction and I was swooning the entire time.
Leah is just as taken with Jav, but is haunted with guilt that she hides from him the fact that she came to Mars in exchange for a shortened prison sentence. She had gotten involved with a xenophobic crowd who took things farther than she expected, and was given a harsh sentence. She faces accusations planned assassinations from other humans, other Martians, and surprises from her past.
I have to keep the review short to avoid spoilers, but in short, I really loved it. There wasn’t that much that set the Martian culture apart from any of earth’s cultures, but the story was too enjoyable for me to care too much!

Such a great book and fantastic series. Leah gets offered a deal after 10 years in prison if she marries and becomes a Martian bride. She learns that Martians mate for life. When she meets Jav he’s nothing like what she expected. He is kind and caring and treats her with respect. Will she be able to tell he about herself before something happens to take away her happiness? A story that you won’t be able to put down until the end.

This book 2 in the Savage Martians Series is a very well-written story with well crafted characters. These wonderfully written characters, flaws and all, will make you feel their emotions and you will root for them to make the connection. They have wonderful chemistry. I cannot wait to read more.
She is promised parole if she becomes a Martian bride. They mate for life but cannot stand another day in jail. Her mate is not what she expected. He is kind and caring but will she be able to tell him the truth before it is too late?

I enjoyed reading this book , it has a good storyline. The interaction and chemistry between the characters of Leah and Jav is great, this book is entertaining and action packed, filled with adventure and intrigue. I 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.
This book could have been titled Lots of Sex with the Alien. That said, I did enjoy most of the book.
The pros: Lots of hot sex with a gorgeous alien.
Totally sweet gorgeous alien
The cons: Just tell him the truth, duh!
He’s almost too sweet.
There could have been a lot more to the story but there was enough character development to make both h/H likeable.

Insatiable Martian finds his mate
I enjoyed this book and its characters. The story was fast paced as was the love that developed between Jav and Leah. Both have suffered losses and are alone in the universe but together they are whole (and endearing). I recommend this continuation into the Martians that now live in the Milky Way and rule over earth. Jav is “ravenous” for Leah (which is shared in 18+ rated scenes); and Leah finds redemption in his arms. If only all single earth women could find such devoted, attractive and loving aliens of their own.

I hadn’t read the first two books in this series but I didn’t really feel like I had to follow along with the story so that was a plus. I really enjoyed this sweet read plenty of intrigue, sweetness, action, and of course steamy romance to keep you hook from beginning to end. Overall a enjoyable and entertaining read looking forward to seeing what else is in store for this series. I received a free copy via booksprout I voluntarily read and review this ARC no monetary compensation was received and the opinions I have expressed are my own.
Leah has spent 10 years of a 25 year prison sentence for being the lookout for a crime. She is called before the review board and learns that her sentence will be served if she will go to Mars and be a mate. She only has one minute to think about it and decides she will go. She is hopeful that it will be a new start for herself. She lies to her mate Jav about her life because she is afraid he will send her back to Earth. Jav is excited to have a mate. He was raised on an orphanage and wants a family of his own. He realizes that Leah is lying to him about things and tries to find out about her past and is unable to initially. When Leah is accused of a crime on Mars, all of her history comes up. She must now tell Jav everything if he is going to clear her name. Will there be happiness after her lies. Must read to find out. I am in love with this series.
