I really enjoyed this one! It pulled me in from beginning to end and I loved the bit of a twist that we got with this one as well. We have met Miranda in an early book and she followed her friend to Trion and recently has been with Brax on Trion and things have been getting deeper but it started out with no strings and while he was in town and not out on missions. Miranda would love to take things deeper and be Brax's mate but he has made comments that he isn't ready to do that and after their last time together Brax does want Miranda but the comments he made while they were together, led it to be like she is meant for someone else and not him. Then she finds out he was in town and never came to see her so she decides to sign up for the bride testing and is matched to Trist, a Prillon warrior. I really loved Trist and Miranda together. Trist had a second but then he was asked to be a part of a different one and took it so he currently doesn't have one. I did appreciate how Trist wasn't rushing finding a second and was taking a little bit of time to get to know Miranda and figure out exactly what she needed and was open to having her be a part of that decision as well. Then Brax shows up and puts himself forward as wanting to be the second since Miranda was connected and felt secure with Trist. I loved watching them build their connection and really enjoyed the way this one went down. It definitely had some action as well and some twists with the new cloaking the hive is using. I'm excited for what is coming next for sure!

An alien romance with plenty of heat. Her body may be satiated but she needs more than that. She wants a mate that puts her first. But when the one male she yearns for doesn’t want a mate can she accept what will happen if she allows the program to chose her mate for her? The story has plenty of hotness and it will also bring the romance as one human female finds out what it is like to have her body and heart dominated by an alien male.

This was quite entertaining. Definitely more erotic romance territory with a dom/sub element. Really enjoyed the mating practices for each of the species of alien she is mated to. Only criticism is the FMC’s anger at MMC 1 not opening up to her when she did the very same. Neither told the other what they wanted or how they felt before she makes the decision to seek out a mate in the bride program. That part of the story is weak but it’s otherwise a fun read.

While the emotional heartstrings the misunderstanding of Miranda and Brax was actually quite well written, the lack of overall plot really didn’t deliver. Brax and Trist trashing the room and arguing loudly was amusing, but that’s about all this book had going for it.

I liked the unorthodox way that this trio came together. It felt original in the context of the entire series. The Prillon books up to this point have all been Prillons with their seconds already selected, so the idea of there only being one Prillon searching for his second was pretty unique.
I really loved how Tris healed Miranda's heart, both from Brax's indecision and her ex-husband's disgust. Brax, who comes in all brash and rude at first, actually turns into a great guy once he realizes how his words and actions have affected Miranda. He realizes that he's made mistakes and takes action to make her believe the depth of his feelings for her. Tris is seriously the best. He never lets Miranda doubt the depth of his affections for her. And even though he is calling the shots, he ALWAYS lets her feelings and desires be at the forefront of his choices.
