Claiming His Virgin

This book was previously released, as a short story, in a box set named Alien alphas. This version is quite a bit longer and has more details but is still the same story. I've read both versions and I really enjoyed reading the story again; the add on are great and make it a more complete story, however some people might not like it since the story stays the same. Overall i found It's a good book with lots of steamy D/s scenes, it' well written and the characters are well developped. In the story Elena gets to explore her submissive side, but also has to learn to use her sexy side and strengthe to get her happily ever after. Both characters will have to overcome their insecurities, take chances and learn to trust. This book is part of the interstellar brides series. Each books can be read as stand-alone, however I would recommend reading the others Everis books ( His virgin mate , His virgin Bride) to get the full pictures since the characters are somewhat connected. I was given an arc copy for an honest review, but also decided to purchased the book to support the author

THE EYES WERE THE GATEWAY TO THE SOUL I enjoyed this fourth book in the Interstellar Brides: The Virgins series but can attest that it will read well as a stand-alone and the reader will not feel lost or unable to follow the story. While a group of women came from Earth to become brides in the Interstellar Brides Program, not all will meet their Marked Mate, a rare occurrence that only happens every now and then. But for Helen of Earth, and Everian Hunter Zee, they are Marked Mates. “I’d been told only Marked Mates would dream share. Only Marked Mates would have the marks on the palms awaken. That it was a true gift because only a small number found their other half. I had. A woman from Earth who somehow was an Everian descendent. The mark on my palm proved it.” Helen is a beautiful woman and so excited to meet and be claimed by her Marked Mate, but he has an odd request for her, that she must be blindfolded, and remain that way. She will accept his terms, but with the help of some of the other Earth women, she will come up with a plan to see her mate, the one who refuses to give her his name and insist she calls him Master. “To you, and you alone, my name is Master. Your Master.” “The only thing I wanted was a man strong enough to rule me. As instructed, I folded my hands together demurely and sat with my spine straight and my head bent, waiting for my master to come claim me. He was my Marked Mate, my perfect match, a one in a hundred chance.” Hunter Zee is a scarred warrior from his battles and has seen how his appearance repulses women; they only see what is on the surface. Then for his mark to come alive indicating he had a Marked Mate coming to him has him both excited but dreading the encounter. Then upon seeing her, he decides she must be blindfolded, he doesn’t know what he will do if she rejects him. “Everything about her was perfect. Passionate. Obedient. Submissive. Beautiful. I was scary looking. Dangerous in appearance. Ruthless. It mattered not how I’d come by the injuries. It matters not that, among other fighters, the scars were proof of bravery, of service. But with the females, with my mate? It wasn’t a badge of honor but a mottling of skin that caused revulsion and disgust.” The plot will have Helen and Zee meeting, but his orders always required her to have a blindfold. She will finally be able to see him and what she sees is a man who valiantly fought, received battle wounds, but she craves him completely, heart, body, and soul. How far is Helen willing to go to have Zee make a stand for her? Is a bit of trickery worth the cost? “I needed to know what he was hiding. No—why he was hiding from me. Disobeying? Definitely, but I considered it more bending his request to fit my needs, too.” “My mark aches for you. Claim me, Master. Make me yours forever.” The story appeared in the Alien Alphas-- Twenty-Three Naughty Sci-Fi Romance Novellas from last year and is no longer available. The story has been altered, expanded, and is now a longer story than from the box set.

Excellent story, though it was sad seeing a male not trust his fated mate. Great sex scenes, nice and descriptive.
