May Featured Author: Grace Goodwin

May. 18, 2020

This month I thought I would highlight the amazing Grace Goodwin. I love her Interstellar Bride Program series. Each book is different and we get to meet some of the best aliens. The basis for the series is that each woman volunteers for the program, they get tested, and then are sent to their mate or mates. The testing is rather interesting and some of the books the mates come together a little different. Meaning they don’t go through the testing. I have listed three of my favorite below.

Mated-to-the-Beast

This was the first book that had an Atlan Warlord in it and I just fell in love. The Atlans are my favorite race in this series. They have an inner best who is fairly vocal about what he wants and doesn’t want. They are also much bigger than most of the other aliens. Their beast is even bigger than that. Think Incredible Hulk but hotter. Any of the books that have an Atlan in it is awesome but this is my favorite because it was the first.

MATED TO THE BEAST ON AMAZON

Say hello to The Colony where there is a mix of warriors from all planets and walks of life. Here they are veterans. Those who have been contaminated by the Hive and either can’t or won’t return to their home worlds. I like when we visit the the Colony because there is such a mix. These warriors always touch my heart. In Surrender to the Cyborgs we meet some Prillon warriors who always have a second male so if the primary mate is killed there is someone to love and protect their mate and children.

SURRENDER TO THE CYBORGS ON AMAZON

sURRENDER-TO-THE-cYBORGS
the commanders mate

We have more Prillons her but they are station on a battleship. Also, I just fell in love with Commander Karter from the first moment he was introduced in previous books. This one shows us just how much in command he is. There is just something about this book that is so good.

Get Bride Tested

You can get tested for the Interstellar Bride Program yourself! I already have and of course got Atlan. They are my favorites after all. Get tested here. If you do test let us know what you get.

Holly Lorena Cain, formerly known as Georgina Lorena Cain, was well acquainted with rock bottom. Sheโ€™s coasted along its rocky shores for years. It all started when her mother left her when she was barely old enough to understand. For years, her and her dad struggled to make ends meet. A dying cattle farm canโ€™t run itself, and with her dad having cancer, it got harder and harder to hang on to land thatโ€™s been in her family for generations.

Just as she thinks that sheโ€™s finally made it, her father passes away and leaves every single thing he owns to their neighbor. The man thatโ€™d been worming his way into her fatherโ€™s good graces while sheโ€™d been away pursuing higher education.

But she canโ€™t be mad.

Being mad would mean that she has a soul left, but she sold that a long time ago to pay for college.

Once she comes to terms with her father and the land being gone, she moves back to Bear Pass and with one thing on her mindโ€”avoid Denver at all costs. He can never know just how much it hurt that he stole her life away from her.

Only, he makes it impossibly hard to stay away.

Heโ€™s there around every corner. He offers her a place to stay. Makes sure she has a place to work. Fixes her car. Saves her from a kidnapper. Oh, and gives her everything her heart desires.

She stays away as best as she can, but she doesnโ€™t stand a chance against Denverโ€™s determination and charm. Heโ€™s there when no one else is, peeling her off the floor and propping her back up again each time she falls.

The gruff motorcycle club president with his scary glares and harsh work ethic has decided to make her his, and he wonโ€™t stand for her refusal.

Heโ€™s been protecting her for her entire life, and she doesnโ€™t even know it.

He wonโ€™t stop now, even if sheโ€™s bound and determined to stay away.
