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.

THE COMMANDERS’ MATE ON AMAZON

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.

Mia
 
An island fling was the last thing I expected when I agreed to spend a month on a tropical island with Graham and Soraya as nanny to their sweet little boy. I was planning to relax with the family, enjoy the sun, and get a break from law school...
 
Then a shirtless, tanned Adonis runs onto our beach and into my life.
 
JT is mysterious, rugged, and his gruff exterior should have sent me running in the opposite direction. But something about the man excites me, challenges me to push past my insecurities. And though I don't see myself as a "fling" kind of girl, maybe it's just what I need to move on from my painful past. The trouble is JT has quickly imprinted himself on my soul, and saying goodbye to him is going to break me.
 
JT
 
Going back to the island, the only place I felt like myself, was a no-brainer. Not just somewhere to seek refuge from business, family, and especially women. It's a place of serenity...to clear my head and get rid of the anger of betrayal and figure out what I want to do with my life.
 
Then Mia happens, forcing her way into my heart. Like a violent storm that rushes in, wreaking havoc but ultimately ushering in a new dawn. She sees things in me I never knew existed. But our worlds are spinning in different directions, and no matter how badly I want to hang on, the force pulling us apart might just be too strong for both of us.

Life isn’t fair.

If anyone on Earth should know that, it’s Milena Semyonov.

She’s suffered blow after blow, and the hits just keep on coming.

Just when she’s sworn off being happy, that maybe being numb is the better way to navigate life, she meets him.
Cutter Carson Clayborne.

The man that finally shows her how a real man is supposed to treat her.

Just when she didn’t think life could get any worse, the man that abused her as a young, impressionable teen is back, showing her that life can, in fact, get worse.

When she’s ready to quit, Cutter is there, making sure that she knows that he’ll be there, whether she wants him there or not.

He is her husband, after all. And the unlikely pair have an understanding that they’ll stay married for two years, make a baby, and join two crime syndicates in unholy matrimony.

Cutter has other plans, though. He only agrees to the original plan to make her his.

He won’t ever give her up. What’s his stays his. And there’s not a man on the earth that’ll ever touch Milena again. Not with Cutter alive and able to take out anyone that tries.

Broody. Hot. Intoxicating.
 
Nastya Semyonov first met Haze at a bar, but for Haze Hopkins, duty calls before either can act on their desires. He’s gone without a glance back, leaving her thinking that maybe all the hot looks were only one-sided.
 
Fast forward to the next day, Nastya hitches a ride to her car that she left behind the night before, only to run into the same man from last night.
 
Neither one truly thinks before they act, and they spend a hot fifteen minutes in a fast-food restaurant bathroom before parting ways again.
 
It’s as she’s walking back to her car that she realizes how badly she’s screwed up.
 
Because her car is surrounded in police tape, and there’s one very angry man wearing a badge standing in front of it with her name on an arrest warrant for killing a man.
 
Mistakes were made. Repeatedly.
 
But Detective Haze Hopkins isn’t complaining.
 
He was ready to quit, anyway.
 
Crime pays better.

There was right, there was wrong, and then there was the in-between.
 
The place where normal people reside, understanding that there are two sides to every coin. People that do bad things for good reasons. People that do bad things for bad reasons.
 
First, I knew that Shasha Semyonov was a bad man. One that did bad things for bad reasons. That didn’t mean that I was rational when it came to him.
 
He was toxic to my health, yet I wanted him anyway.
 
They say the first step to healing is admitting when you have a problem.
 
My problem happened to be six feet two inches tall, two hundred and twenty pounds, and bearded to perfection.
 
Oh, and he was also the scariest guy I knew.
 
Meanwhile, I was the laughingstock of the city.
 
The woman who was cheated on by her boyfriend with her best friend, and it was captured live while a band played in the background, perfectly accenting the humiliating video.
 
There was no way that Shasha Semyonov would notice me.
Right?
 
Wrong.
 
I’d definitely been noticed.
