The world building was fantastic the H&h had chemistry that was off the charts and the storyline had my heart racing from late one to the final word on the very last page.

This was an up and down roller coaster with my emotions. A big brother willing to die to protect his little brother. Even when his mate finally came and settled his mating fever he was still willing to die. Very touching. I wanted more at the ending. (Spoiler alert!) At the end now he was considered dead along with his brother and could never return home. An epilogue explaining what happened in the future would have been nice. Good but kind of happy/sad read.

Warlord Maxus’ stepdaughter Adrian recognizes Kovo as her mate while visiting an Atlan prison. Kovo is on death row and with just over 10 hours until his execution.Adrian pulls the twin card and has her sister Stephanie help her get inside Kovo’s cell. This determined Earth woman isn’t taking no for an answer from her mate.Dr. Helion, Prillion commander of IC special operations had made a deal with Kovo to save his younger brother’s life. Broken deals have Adrian ready to go on the warpath when her mate is captured and taken to be executed.This fast-paced read is intense and contains significant intrigue to go along with the Indra-lust/love of mating fever.

I absolutely love this author in her storyline. I look forward to every single book she writes and I do mean every single one of them. Bargain with the beast with the beast was amazing period of work. Taking a woman who didn't even know who she really was but finding her soul mate and being able to recognize him just through the sound he was making in her head.. Then being brave stepping outside their comfort zone to bring him back from the point. Standing up for him when she knew in her heart that he was that he was not the villain that everyone made him out to be. And in the end staying with him after they have to make a decision that most people could never do but could never do. What an amazing story

How many aliens are among us, hiding in plain sight? In another twist by the author, we find that Aliens have been amongst us for at least a few generations. Even when we are part Alien, we may not know it. This is Science Fiction Romance at it's finest! Another gem by Grace Goodwin. And yes! She gives all of us who are not tall, swevlt, and super modal slender hope for that devoted hunk of a perfect mate in life, hope and dreams.

There were quite a few grammar and punctuation issues in this book. The errors pull me out of the story. It seemed rushed… too many unanswered questions. Feels like the quality of work has gone downhill for this series.I did like the main characters, but as this story was very short, I felt like I barely got to know them. :-(

*****Rating; 4 starsSteam: 3 flamesGenre/Tropes: Alien/Sci-Fi Romance, Fated Mates*****We have yet another fantastic story from Grace Goodwin. While touring an Atlan prison with her mom, Adrian overhears a beast's scream. She knows he is hers the moment she sees him. One issue is that he is a murderer who has been sentenced to death.Oh, the beast/Kovo have resigned themselves to their fate and abandoned all hope. However, everything changes when the fiery and resolute Adrian decides to save the beast/Kovo.They are fated mates, so of course their love was instant. I have no objections whatsoever. The steam is spicy, the characters are endearing, and the plot will warm your heart. It was a great read.I have enjoyed all the beasts, and this book was no different. I definitely recommend and yes I will keep reading.

Adrian and KovoIn this addition to the Interstellar Brides Program series, we meet Maxus’ (the hero in Big Bad Beast) stepdaughter Adrian. One of a set of twins, she is on Atlan to spend time with her mother and new stepfather, when she comes across her mate in an Atlan prison.Kovo was jailed for reasons other than mating fever, and it’s part of something he can’t tell anyone about. He never expected his mate to find *him*…This quick read is a tearjerker (no matter what you know) so grab some tissues. It’s a quick, lightly spicy read, set on Atlan, and with an Atlan beast hero; actually, I think Kovo’s beast is the best part of him!Fans of the series will enjoy this one… and if we are all rooting for Helion to get his mate/comeuppance, it won’t be the first time!A fun, and quick read for sci-fi romance fans.

I am hooked on Grace’s stories in this larger series, but … it begins with Melissa touring the Condemned Atlantan prison where they are awaiting execution. Since I pre-ordered the book, I didn’t get her backstory of being a premed student, etc. which helps set up the story better (in the sales blurb “back of book” on the sales/order page). Also, if you had not been a long time reader of the main series, the hidden Everian gene connection was not well explained at all. Perhaps a longer delay of publication would have helped to get this story right.

Adrian is a very determined young lady. Atlan Kovo does not know what hits him. Their chemistry is off the charts. I enjoyed both of them and the lengths both of them will go to be together. I loved this story and read it in one sitting. I highly recommend it.

Pat of the interstellar Beasts series this story follows Adrian’s and Kovo’s story…Set to be executed with mating fever but also under the charge of treason and murder Atlan Kovo has just hours to live until a feisty human who takes on his beast and sets him free..I have enjoyed this series of hot smoking aliens and their human mates who defy everything to be together..

Yes again this is a winner .I love reading your books and look forward to reading the next in the series
