The would-be heroine...
Aeron wants nothing more than to live out her very long, solitary life in a small metal room listening to communications for the Federation Military. It's not glamorous. It's not even charming. But it's safe and there's no chance of getting hurt.
When she intercepts a communication about an impending attack on the Qurilixian people, she has no choice but to act. No one at the Federation seems inclined to do anything and it's up to her to save them. Desperate, she enlists the help of her degenerate sister, whose only solution is to trick Aeron into signing up as a prospective bride to the primitive aliens she's trying to rescue.
The man who did not need saved...
Dragon-shifter nobleman Lord Bron, is not looking forward to his seventh failed attempt at a marriage ceremony. But when he sees the lovely Aeron he knows his years of waiting have finally paid off. Fate has blessed him with a life mate...
Or have they?
His new bride is insistent she's not there for marriage, but for a mission. Dragon shifters mate for life and it's up to Bron to convince her they are fated to be, or he'll risk spending the rest of his days alone.

Fun romp.
5By MyOhMyMyOhMyWhen Aeron discovers a plot she is determined to save the Draig but her only option to deliver the warning is to join the Galaxy Bride transport. She’s determined to stay on mission but Bron, who recognizes her as his mate, it determined to change her mind. Fun romp loaded with misunderstandings and a great romance.Aeron and Bron
4By lsc81163Aeron works in the communications analysis for the Federation. She received some information about possible genocide attack on the planet Qurilixen. The Federation is not interested in her information. So she does want she needs to do to protect the planet. She has her sister book her transportation to Qurilixen. But, it is on the Galaxy Brides transport. She doesn’t want to be a bride. She is going there to relay important information. Bron is a Draig Duke. He is the king’s nephew. He and several members of the royal family is participating in the Breeding Festival. He had not found his bride in the other nine festivals. He was being optimistic. He wasn’t playing attention to who had caused his crystal stone necklace to glow. Aeron almost managed to escape being picked as a bride. She was getting ready to head to the transport ship when a almost naked masked man approached her. She was tricked into removing his mask and being married. She has to get the information about the possible attack to the king. Now they both have secrets that affects their marriage. Also, Bron’s dismissive attitude about Aeron is hurtful to her. They have lots of obstacles to overcome. Has a HEA. This is part of the series of the Galaxy brides and Qurilixian royal male shifters. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.Good Story
4By Topmom52This book takes place in the same time frame as the other 4 in this series. The four princes’ stories have been told and now it is time for the cousins. Aeron is an interesting character. She is determined but also afraid. Bron desperately wants to please her, but just can’t seem to figure her out. Enjoyable story. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.Best one so far
5By AngeljoeiI wasn’t sure how another book in this series was going to work. But they author did amazing at keeping us in the same world and small patch of time! Being a lord and cousin instead of a prince we get outside the castle and have a new story line that doesn’t revolve around the Var! This one also has a lot more heat then the others and takes a different approach to their conflict. Well written, fun characters and a good story line though we don’t see resolution about the non Var threat like we did with Var in the previous books. Doesn’t bother me all that much as it seems to be setting up another book!. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.More of the Qurilixen world!
4By RowenaB10I love that we get more of the Qurilixen world! Baron is cousins to the prince and is required to attend the bridal festival. Aaron just wanted to warn the Qurilixen people of the possible danger that she intercepted while working as a Federation analyst when she finds herself signed up to be a bride. When fate puts them together it made for a wild ride to forever. Their journey was entertaining and loads of heat level with twist that will leave you wanting more. I can’t wait to see where this world goes through.This bossy shifter will steal your heart
5By ContessajjAngst rules in this story where Aeron finds herself promised to be a bride when her sister finds them a ride to Qurilixen. Bron has been hoping for a bride for a long time and has pretty much given up hope when his mate stone begins to glow. The Draig are adorable with their old world mannerisms yet also protective alphas. This tale has it all a sweet sexy romance, realistic sci-fi settings, and twists you don’t see coming. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.Great spin off series
