This is the first book I’ve read by this author and the first book I’ve read of the series. Earth has been completely destroyed, it’s almost uninhabitable. The women are second class citizens and are just trying to survive. Aliens that are compatible with the human females come and interview them to whisk them away to their planet for a better future. This is Melody‘s chance since she has no family. She has been on this foreign planet for a while now, and the princess, who is human herself, has been holding events trying to get all the other human females to meet the eligible men. Hunter has not been at any of the events, but he is one of the royal family‘s most trusted spy. Hunter and Melody meet and it’s an instant attraction. They feel the infinity pulse, that’s their highest form of connection. What does that mean for a spy for the royal family and a woman from earth?

Loved this book!

[Joyffree]

Earth sucks for women and our heroine Melody is just barely surviving on the planet when an opportunity arises for a chance at happiness
Sure, it is light-years away on another planet
And yeah, they are another species, but they are compatible
A girl's gotta grab that brass ring when the chance arises
Make her own happy ever after

Hunter doesn't want a mate. He has a dangerous job that would put a partner at risk. He firmly does not believe in the "affinity pulse". The idea that there is a woman crafted by fate just for him is ridiculous
That is, until Melody
Oh, how the mighty have bent the knee

This was a high heat - they can't keep their appendages off each other kind of heat - scifi romance.
Easy-on-the-emotions, candy-sweet, make-you-smile wrapped up in a happily ever after
Perfect for a beach read, when you need to lighten up, or as a palate cleanser after a high-angst read

This was my first read in this series, and it was easy to follow, but I suggest starting at the beginning of the series if you can.

Mate for the Space Cowboy de Phoebe Belle Serie Match Made in Space libro 3

Argumento:

Un vaquero extraterrestre gruñón necesitado de pareja. Una mujer desesperada por empezar de cero. Un servicio de emparejamiento intergaláctico con una reputación descabellada. ¡Abróchense los cinturones, este romance de vaqueros espaciales está a punto de despegar!

¿La vida en mi planeta? Triste. ¿Supervivencia? A duras penas. Así que cuando tengo la oportunidad de inscribirme en un programa de emparejamiento intergaláctico, no lo dudo. ¿Un planeta donde los hombres adoran a las mujeres? Suena demasiado bueno para ser verdad.

Entonces conocí a Hunter. Un vaquero extraterrestre melancólico y sobreprotector que lleva el mal humor a un nivel completamente nuevo. Es todo músculos, gruñidos y ceños fruncidos, pero yo nunca he sido de los que se echan atrás ante un desafío.
¿Domar a este vaquero espacial? Podría ser la aventura de su vida!



Mi humilde opinión:

Romance de ciencia ficción, parejas destinadas, atracción instantánea, programa de novias para aliens.

De a poco los vaqueros espaciales están encontrando su pareja destinada en el grupo de mujeres que aceptaron viajar a Aphroditea con la princesa Jane para el programa de emparejamiento. Esta vez es Melody la que siente el “pulso infinito” cuando conoce a Hunter que trabaja para el príncipe como espía.

La historia como todas hasta ahora se disfruta, es rápida, con mucho spicy y algo de peligro.

Life on Earth for women is miserable, and they are treated as second class citizens. Melody suffered beatings at the hands of her father and now suffers at the hands of her brother. Melody jumps at the chance to sign up for an intergalactic matchmaking program. Finding a mate on a planet that worships women sounds too good to be true to Melody. Hunter is an alien cowboy who is a spy for the Royal family. When Hunter sees Melody at a party introducing Earth women to eligible alien men, they are attracted to each other and experience the infinity pulse. Melody and Hunter's relationship moves quickly with them getting to know each other and getting married one week later. Will a week alone together in their new home after the wedding end in a pregnancy? How will Melody react when Hunter will have to leave on assignment when their week together is up? What happens when a ship shows up from Earth? I enjoyed Mate for the Space Cowboy by Phoebe Belle. Hunter and Melody are a great couple with scorching hot chemistry. i look forward to reading the other books in the Match Made in Space series by Phoebe Belle. I received an ARC copy of this book, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

[Sassy Southern Book Blog]

Mate for the Space cowboy was definitely an interesting, fast read. Melody comes from Earth where women are not treated the best and it's a struggle to even survive. When she is chosen to move to a different planet on the chance she could become the mate to one of men from there she takes it right away. This is where she meets Hunter and realizes that all of the stories she has heard about the the Infinity pulse between two people is real. This book was definitely an easy read and there was a little drama and suspense about what was going to happen. I do enjoy a good alien love story but I'm not a huge fan of insta love, your mine and I must claim you the first second we meet books so that was the reason for my rating. I didn't realize this was in the middle of a series so this is definitely a book that you want to grab the first ones so that you get a full picture of all the characters that you get to meet. Overall an interesting storyline and smooth writing to make this a book many people will enjoy.- By Alisa

Melody has lost all his family on earth. Even before that, she just tries to stay away from her abusive father and brother. The opportunity to move to another plant to start a new life sounds like a good idea. She never expects to feel the “infinity pulse” with Hunter. Hunter is a spy for the royal family. Since he travels a lot for work, he has not thought about having a relationship. He doesn’t believe in “infinity pulse” either. Until he sees Melody. They both instantly feel the connection, physically and mentally. They soon got married and have an ideal life Melody could only dream of. This is a sci-fi story about the earth after it’s better days. People live a miserable life with destroyed environment and lack of resources. Earth depends on the handouts from other plants. Women move to other plants with abondance of resources where they enjoy meaningful relationship and friendship. I think those are logical reasons to take a trip. I enjoy the story!

[Sara]

I love this series of novellas - short and entertaining stories about women who leave Earth for a chance at a better life on a distant alien planet.

The romance is more insta-lust as the couples have an infinity pulse that draws them together like fated mates. The alien men are all super protective and extremely focused on their mate’s happiness and satisfaction.

There is a fabulous girl group that is growing as more women arrive from Earth and wait to find their infinity pulse/mate. I love seeing Princess Jane and Nadine taking the new Earth women under their wings and giving them encouragement for all the many ways life on this new planet is incredible.

I enjoyed this one! This was an easy one to read. It is a lighthearted, fast paced instalove story with low angst. It was easily read in one sitting and I enjoyed the characters. Melody went for the interview and the chance of finding a partner that wouldn't abuse her and went to a new planet. She wasn't expecting the infinity pulse to happen with Hunter but once they see each other, it is obvious that it's what they are both experiencing and so they set up the wedding for a week out. I enjoyed watching them get to know each other in that time and preparing for both the wedding but what it means afterwards with Hunter being a spy for the Royal family. Things happen quickly and there are definitely some spicy times between them as well. I enjoyed it and had fun and am excited for the next one in the series.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

[Raecharmed]

Melody hasn't had a good life because of her father and brother and their abuse. When she sees the ad for being a mate for someone on another planet she takes a chance. Once she is there its not long before she meets Hunter, and they have the affinity pulse. Hunter didn't think he cared who he was mated with until he saw Melody. He knew the moment he saw her that she was it for him. Will they get a chance at their happy ending?

This is an amazing story that will draw you in from beginning to end. This is a well written and very entertaining story. Its a book that any book lover would enjoy.

I voluntarily read and reviewed this book for Bad Boy Update.

[Trish]

Very enjoyable story.

Wonderful feel good story. Almost a Cinderella feel to it. Poor girl living in a future Decimated Earth. Women are treated poorly, and men, even family members are abusive. She reads a notice about leaving earth and having jobs, and decent food, and being treated well. Meets a Spy, soldier for this planets Prince. His wife who is from Earth has been bringing willing women to come to her new home, knowing firsthand how it is on earth for women. They instantly feel a pulse that connects them. They marry have babies, happily ever after. I really recommend this when you want to feel happy about a story.

[Anakalia]

Hunter and Melody's story is a whirlwind romance that had me hooked from the start. The chemistry between them is off the charts strong, as is their attraction. I love this sweet couple to pieces and wish their story was a little longer because I find it hard to let them go. Thankfully, there is a great chance to read more about them in the next book in this series. I can't wait to read more about these sexy space cowboys and their significant others.

[Jeannette]

Melody and Hunter

This is a very good, well written, short, Alien/Human romance. Melody thought she would be better off when her abusive father died but then her brother started to abuse her. Three days after he is killed she interviews to leave Earth. Hunter is a guard and spy for the royal family. He meets Melody at one of the Meetings set up by Princess Jane and feels the pull of the infinity pulse. Read and enjoy.

[Joan Ortiz]

good.

Read these in order (books 1 & 2) but accidentally read book 4 (Romi & Thorne) before this one..

Some information is inconsistent. Also this pregnancy seems extremely fast unlike some of the other ladies. Hard to tell since time isn't mentioned outright.

Still liked the story but that did throw me off. Melody and Hunter had a rocky beginning but the pulse kept them strong.

[Connie]

If you like science fiction this is a cute little book. Earth is desolate and Melody gets a chance to go to another planet where everything is good and women are worshipped and she will have a chance to find a good mate and good life. Since she has no family she signs up to go and her whole life changes for the good.

[Victoria]

I liked the characters in this, I liked that the infinity pulse enabled Melody and Hunter to connect instantly and have no doubts about each other. I enjoyed the different relationships on display and seeing what it's like for the woman to live in a place where they are valued, respected and loved. I am voluntarily leaving this review after receiving an ARC.

[Nita]

Loved

I love a good alien Romance. And in the fact that the male is a cowboy alien yes please. The way the men on this planet love on their women top tier. If Only Human men could get that with that the program I love on women like these alien cowboy men do life will be so much better.

[Tanya]

Two very different people will meet through a dating website. He is an alien who needs a mate while she wants a new life. They will have you laughing as they go along their new journey of love and discovery

[Lisa H]

Sometimes, you need the fantasy…

Another quick, space cowboy with an infinity pulse.
Melody leaves earth (it’s a terrible place) to be an alien’s mate.
Hunter is that alien, though he did not believe in the infinity pulse until it happened to him. With Melody.
Recommend.

[Dani Marlowe]

I enjoyed this story, Phoebe Belle did a good job on it, the plot and characters were good, Melody and Hunter, their path had a few bumps along the way but they were good for each other, well matched, strong bond and chemistry. They were good together.
Thanks, Phoebe Belle. Good work :)

[Mary Roya]

Space Cowboy.

Not to sure these guys are Cowboys, the story is slow moving. There isn't much action, or drama. Utopia situation, all rainbows and flying horses, this story wasn't what I was expecting.

[Aisha]

it’s ok

I like the premise of the book, but I will say that it didn’t flow super well for me. The story is short and cute, but I didn’t really feel pulled into the world that the author was trying to create.

[Carmen]

Sexy Cowboys

Omg! These alien space cowboys are so frigging sexual! Hunter was a little freaky too. He turned poor Melody out.I loved their closeness and how vigilant he was about her safety. An enjoyable quick, sexy read.

[Stacy]

Melody

These are definately short and sweet stories. There are hot scenes , the violence and conflict is minimal to none.

[Jennifer]

I love this series! This is Melody and Hunter's story. Hunter is a spy for the Royal family and assumes he will never feel the "infinity pulse" of a true mate, until he lays eyes on Melody. As many women from New Earth, Melody is looking to escape to a better life and when the opportunity presents itself she flees as fast as she can. This is insta-lust and insta-love and a wild ride of a story! Grab it now!

4 1/2 stars
A fast paced story which introduced the newest characters in this series. A bit of drama enhanced the romance aspects of the story. I found these characters likable and interesting. I look forward to reading more books from this series.
