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?

This is a really cute story. I am loving this series. Jav is such a great character and Leah is a sweetie. As a couple, they are perfect for each other. The twists are completely surprising and unexpected. They really make the story interesting.
So very good! Sue Mercury has nailed it with this series! Full of vivid descriptions that bring her alien world to life, I hope this isn’t the last book in this series! These “Martians”, while depicted as savage to humans, are intense, protective, and loving. And I love that they come is a variety of colors! The human females in this series all have at least one thing in common, a willingness to face an uncertain future what a Martian mate. That takes courage. Leah is sweet and strong and hiding secrets. She’s full of remorse over her past, but fearful of her new mate’s reaction. Jav has pinned all his hopes for the future on his mate. Upon meeting Leah, Jav knows that he was right to, immediately become smitten, and determined to be the best mate. Intense passion, marital bonding, political intrigue, and more make this a very fun read!

This is a great addition to the Savage Martians series. The parole board gives Leah the chance for release if she travels to Mars to be mated with a Marttiaxoxalian warrior. Jav is a genetically enhanced warrior who is waiting for his human mate to arrive from Earth and when he sees Leah he knows she is the one. The mating between Jav and Leah is fast and furious, nonstop for three days before they finally come out of their apartment. There is danger lurking and Leah is named as the suspected rebel. There are dome tense moments but everything works out. I loved their story along with the two previous books. I would highly recommend this series as a great read.
I absolutely loved this book and was honored to have been able to read and review. It was such a phenomenal read and had amazing characters as well as an amazing story line. I just could not get enough of it and once I started reading it I could not put it down. I recommend that you read it.

I enjoyed this immensely, it was a beautiful romance right from the start.. I loved Jav for Leah because he made her safe and was kind and considerate for her.
Leah has been imprisoned in jail for twenty five years and has so far only done ten, when she is sent up before the parole board and given a choice. To be a mail order bride to a Martian or stay behind the bars for the reminder of her years. For her it was a no brainer, go and marry a Martain they cant be that bad. But when Leah mets Jav he treats her with kindness and makes her safe. But after a time a secret comes to light that she hasnt yet told Jav and that is where she was from before she was a mail order bride.
Couldnt put this down once i started, its definatley worth 5 wonderful stars.
This novel was written and edited cleanly, with no typos that I caught in the ARC version of this manuscript. I enjoyed this third novel in the series FAR more than I did the second novel in this series. I was quite relieved that this novel did not contain the problematic elements that the previous novel in this series did! The world building of Mars and the Martian society was interesting. The characterization was good, with both hero and heroine being sympathetic individuals. The development of the romantic relationship was organic considering the length of this romance. The plot and pacing was exciting, meaning I was turning pages quickly to find out what was going to happen next. There was medium angst in this novel and high stakes. I was able to enjoy the angst in this novel because it was set up by essential plot elements and was well justified on the part of the heroine. I tend to prefer high stakes in all my romance novels, so I enjoyed that aspect of this novel. This novel used the Mars Needs Women trope, the Partner in Trouble trope, and the Mail Order Bride trope. The world building, plot, and pacing all rated four stars. The characterization and development of the romantic relationship also rated four stars. The combined score of this novel is therefore four stars. This novel ends on a Happy Ever After ending instead of a cliffhanger, so that is a big plus to this whole series. I recommend this sci-fi romance to readers who enjoy the intergalactic Mail Order Bride trope found in so many sci-fi romances. I do not plan to buy myself a keeper copy of this novel, though I did enjoy it quite a bit.

This book sucked me in from the start. It’s the first of the series I have read and I didn’t feel at all lost. I like the world and the characters in it. And the steam! So much steam, lol. The steam was a part of the story and not just shoehorned in for effect, which is great. I really felt for the characters and could happily have spent more time with them.
This is my favorite book so far in this highly enjoyable series. I really liked this story. It offered an enticing blend of powerful emotion, sweetness, drama, heart and steam. I adored Jav and Leah. My heart ached for Leah and I found Jav quite swoon worthy. I was fully invested in these two characters getting that HEA they needed and deserved. A definite heart tugging, all the feels read that also leaves you in need of a cool drink to cool off. I am electing to post a candid review.
I really enjoyed reading this book, the characters drew you into the story and it was a really great story. There was the sexual tension between the new mates and the anxiety of Leah not wanting to be discovered as an ex criminal. But as the story develops, you see the love growing between the two main characters of Jav and Leah. You won’t be disappointed with reading this book.
Leah was a gullible young woman at eighteen who Was on her own in the world and her boyfriend talked her into being a lookout for a robbery against the Martian’s who had invaded her world on earth. But she was caught by the Martian enforcers and sentenced to forty five years in jail. She is now twenty eight years old and has been given a chance to be free again but she has to be a mate to a Martian. She chooses to be free and marries her Martian Jav, but she can’t tell him of her background and her criminal record.
Jav has always longed to have a family of his own after growing up in an orphanage from a very young age. He was chosen to be an elite warrior in the Martian forces. When he learns his new mates name, he is eager to meet her. When he sees Leah amongst all the women on the ship, he knows she is the mate he has been waiting for. He loves Leah and wants to protect her from all harm and give her all that she has missed out on in her life.
When Jav finds out that Leah has a criminal record after he learns of a threat to his king, he can’t believe that she would betray him in this way. When he learns that a weapon has been planted in her possession, he is determined that she will not be taken away from him. But when he is fighting for her, the real culprit comes out in the open to confess, Leah is exonerated and they live happily ever after.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. The book is about a woman that had done something in her past that she was trying to leave in the past. Leah was in prison for her crime and now she was giving a chance to get out but she needs to become a Martian’s bride. Leah meets a guard that is nice to her as he takes her to the ship that will take her to Mars. Jav has wanted for years for a bride but keep putting it off until the King made him take time off to do it now. Now would be the time to get the book. I will be getting more from this author.
I have read numerous books by Sue Lyndon that I have enjoyed. Ravenous Alien Mate is the first book I have read by Sue Mercury. The book is non BDSM. It is basically a love story alien style. Jav and Leah’s story was really good. Lots of sweet alien talk with some super alien sexiness thrown in. I will definitely go back and read Royal Alien Mate and Possessive Alien Mate.
