Alien Warrior Brides #7

Alien Rebel's Bride

His telepathy is the most powerful weapon on the planet…

Ella knows that she’s a pawn in the power-hungry Temple’s hands. She’s been held prisoner inside of their walls for most of her life. So when she’s stolen by the rebel forces, she embraces her new life…and finally breaking free and becoming the powerful woman she needs to be.

Marco knew that he was stealing the Temple’s most powerful healer, but instead he met his fated mate. When he realizes that depth of his feelings for her, he knows that his plan to wage war on the Temple and heal his comatose father just got more complicated.

Ella is confused by the war brewing around her, and she knows that she has a major role to play.

Can they defeat the Temple, or will the Temple kill them all with their secret weapon?

This is the 7th book in the Alien Warrior Brides Series. Ella is the heroine in this Sci-Fi romance and she constantly tries to help and heal others. After being kept captive in the temple for years she is stolen by the rebel forces and is able to use her gift for good. There are a lot of species characters in this book and it was a little hard trying to keep up with all of them. Sci -Fi is not my favorite genre but I thought this was a well written book with an interesting story line. I read a free copy via Ba Boy Updates and voluntarily chose to review it.

Ella has been held at the Temple and forced to heal those the Temple deem worthy. She would love to escape, but sees no way to do that. Marco has assumed the role of the leader of the rebels, even though he is from another planet. He spends his time trying to lead the people, and care for his comatose father. When he learns that there is someone from his planet being held at the Temple he is determined to rescue her. One look at her and he know she is his mate. Now he has to protect her and the people from the forces coming to eliminate them. Good story with plenty of action and twists. I received this ARC from Bad Boy Updates.

Satisfying Storyline
I enjoyed this Alien based book. I was drawn into and cared about the rebels. The healers and other rebels were well drawn out and came to life on the pages. Even the kitten had a unique personality and brought humor whenever it appeared.
The romance between Ella and Marco was fun to watch it unfold then grow to a HEA.
I’m recommending this book for your reading enjoyment and pleasure.
PEACE.

This is an Alien story with a twist. Ella is kept a prisoner in the temple as the fathers discovered her ability to heal. Marco is with the rebels he has fortified the hill and protects the Zua. His father has been in a coma for a lot of years. When Marco hears about Ella’s healing ability he realises he has to get her away from the fathers. Then he realised that she is his fated mate and doesn’t want to chance her healing his father and dying like him mother did. I enjoyed reading this book. I received an ARC for an honest review which I have given

OMG! Horrible

I started to read this and thought it might get better. NO! I finished it so I could write a scathing report! I've read crap before, but this had no direction and moved like stuff was being added as they went! I'm so glad I didn't pay money for this book! I'm angry I gave it my time!

Anticlimactic

This story has a good plot, unfortunately it was anticlimactic. There was very little chemistry between the mates. This seemed like a first attempt at a book. Maybe this writer will get better with practice but this story dragged and didn't hold my interest. Meh read.

Not what I expected

This is the seventh book in a series I’ve never seen. The world building and scene setting clearly occurred in earlier books. There is a lot of assumed knowledge that I didn’t have. It would have been better to know how we got to the present state before the action begins.

Alien Rebel’s Bride is a fantastically mesmerizing and wonderfully touching story of how love doesn’t care about timing, circumstances, or anything else beyond your heart. The wondrous love we find within the pages of this exquisite book is one that overcomes every obstacle thrown at it. It has one mission in mind and nothing will sway it from its target. When hope steps into the mix, nothing will stop this love from overtaking and bringing together that which was always destined to happen. There is no point in fighting a love so pure, determined, and fierce.

Marco has found himself in a position that he just doesn’t feel that he is ready for or even fully willing to take on. However, no matter how he feels, he has taken it on and done his absolute best to do what is necessary for those who look up to him. He longs for the warmth and love of the family that has been taken from him, but moves always forward regardless of his feelings. Just when he has resigned himself to always being lone, Fate steps in and shows him that it has other plans. Ella is a powerful healer who isn’t even aware of her full potential. She is an orphan who knows of nothing except the Temple that she is kept in. No matter how bad her life gets, her heart refuses to allow her to believe that this is all that her life will ever be. Leaning on that hope, Ella finds herself given a rare and precious opportunity to change her life. Now, she just needs to decide if what she is being given is what she really wants, or if her life in the Temple would be better spent. Can Marco convince Ella to stay and help his people, or will he be the reason she decides to go back to her old life?

Marco and Ella couldn’t be more perfect for each other. They have both lost so much and yet their determination has never wavered. They feel that there is so much more for them just waiting in the wings. Will their patience win out, or will they try to speed up the fickle hands of Fate? That is a question that I had in my head the entire time I read this story. What I found delighted and won my heart over in so many ways. There was so much more going on than a love story at play which made it even better for my own personal enjoyment. The characters were so interesting and amazing in their own right. These stories are just so much fun to read and I truly savor each of them.

Taylor Neptune is a truly gifted author who knows just how to touch my heart and engage all of my senses. Her stories are amazing and extremely enjoyable! They are an unforgettable experience that I everyone should try at least once. I always look forward to the next story in this fun series, and this time was no exception. She met my expectations and then exceeded them.

What can I say? Taylor Neptune sure knows how to write an AWESOME Alien Romance. I love her Sci-Fi/Alien Romance novels. Once I start one I cannot put it down till I finish it. I wasn’t really sure how I would like Alien Romance but I decided to give it try since I gave Paranormal Romance a shot and I love that. I started with Harmony Raine’s Karal books, then went to Scarlett Grove’s Zarconian books, and when I was asked to read my first Alien book by Taylor Neptune I jumped on it. I have been reading her books ever since. I love the time that she puts forth in the names of alien’s and the planets they come from. Most times I cannot pronounce them, but hell, who can pronounce most alien names and places. Her story line’s and characters work perfectly together. A recommend read for mature reader 18 years of age or older.

Two people of the same culture, yet different are brought together by fate and at the worst possible time….

Ella is a beautiful healer on the planet of Kador and kept captive by the Alhamanic priest in the Temple. The Alhamanic had taken over the planet and made the people pay for the healing of the healers. Ella was special because unlike most healers she can heal anything and was guarded more than the others. Ella doesn’t want to be held captive anymore, she wants to be free and to make her own decisions. Little did she know that she was about to get her wish, and in the form of a REBEL LEADER!!!

Marco and his second in command are the protectors of the Zara people. The live in caverns in the mountains with barriers set up by Marco. Marco’s father is in the state of coma for decades because he tried to save Marco’s mother and failed. He has been alone for a very long time and is surrounded by the Zua people that he protects. His initial plan had been to help Illary and her younger sister Suyana to escape the temple and heal his father, but they somehow escaped and never heard from again. He has sense heard of another healer that has powers greater than that of Illary and Suyana. Once the plan to rescue Ella was devised she was taken from the Temple. Marco knows that time is running out and the Temple is ready to take back Ella and they are using everything in their power. Will Marco be able to protect Ella and his father, along with the Zua people? Will Marco be able to have a happily ever after with Ella?

No Spoilers. ARC free book in exchange for an honest review.

Destiny brings two fated mates together at the worst possible time.

A beautiful captive…
Ella is a healer, a precious secret kept in seclusion by the Temple. She’s been raised to be a moneymaker for them, since she can heal anything.

But she doesn’t want to live inside a cage. She wants to make her own decisions. Her life changes when she’s abducted by the alien rebel leader.

A lonely alpha…
Marco is a man of secrets. He wants to convince Ella to be his mate. He’s been alone on Kador for a very long time, surrounded by the Zua he protects but never one of them.

And the clock is ticking for them…
But the Temple is ready to strike the rebel forces to recover their precious secret, and they’ll use everything that they have to get Ella back.

***Guaranteed HEA, no cheating***



I received this book as a ARC in exchange for my honest review. I don't know exactly where to start with this... I wanted to love this book because it sounded like my cup of tea. But there were somethings I didn't like. I just felt completely confused with the story line almost like I was missing part of the story. Like what happened to their home planet? Or how did the others die and there's only 3 left? There was also another big question I had but I can't write about it without spoiling it for you. It wasn't so bad where I couldn't figure it out but it was enough where sometimes I had to re-read the sentence. So that was the main thing I didn't like about it. Now the second part. I get they're supposed to be fated mates and in fated mates stories you get this insta-love BUT one neither one of them seem to know about fated mates until the end of the book! And they were both saying they were falling in love when they weren't even around each other much. Now that was just a little bitty thing that bothered me.

Things I liked about it. The book is in duel POV with the two main characters! I really love that about books. The characters were great! No whining or not feeling the same thing as the other so it made it a cute sci-fi romance novel. I loved Kel but she also had me questioning things as well but I wasn't the only one since characters were questioning her too! Overall it's a cute book and I would recommend it to someone who likes sci-fi romance.

Marco is apart of the Rebels and wants to steal the most valuable asset the Temple Fathers have and that is Ella, Ella is a healer but not just any healer she literally can heal anyone of anything. Marco doesnt know that she is just like him and his father, different from all other kinds in their world. Ella is not able to just cure anyone that needs her help, only those who are Elite and have plenty of funds to pay for it. What happens when Marco first see's Ella and she stirs something in him that no other woman has done? The feelings are mutual for Ella when she wakes up and see's Marco for the first time.

What I enjoyed most about Alien Rebel's Bride is watching a Man who will do anything to get his father out of his many years being in a Coma, even if that includes stealing the most powerful healer out there. But then after Marco see's Ella things change and he doesnt want Ella to help his father or even attempt it yet till he knows that she will be ok as he realizes he doesnt want to loose her. Ella is a kind soul if she someone is sick she will help them no matter what even if it will almost kill her, she cant stand by and just watch them when she is capable of doing something to cure them.

This book is great, not my normal read but I feel in love with the story. This story has a Temple with those that run it and rule what is done, Ella a prisoner that is only aloud out of her room to help the paying that are sick, Marco a Rebel that will do whatever it takes to get his father out of a Coma, a start of a Romance at the worst time as far as all that is going on, a War that will happen with the most powerful weapon around, lots of Allies will be made in order to help with the war, A love story. If you like stories like this, then Alien Rebels Bride is a must!!

A beautiful captive and a lonely alpha. Our H is Marco, the Alosian that leads the Zua. Our h is Ella, an Alosian healer.

Ella has been held captive in the Temple. She is used by the Fathers to heal those that can pay. While healing, she pulls the illness into herself and is sick for a while afterwards. At the beginning of this book, Ella is sick from healing Mother Kelly. Father Vander is so angry with her for healing someone from the lower class that he has Mother Kelly killed after Ella had healed her.

Marco is an Alosian that can communicate with the essence of the stars and planets. He is the leader of the Zua and the Rebel forces. His father tried to heal his mother and while she died, he entered a coma. Marco is not ready to let his father die but he believe himself and his father are the only 2 Alosians on the planet. Imagine his surprise when he hears about a 3rd, a woman that can heal.

Marco plots to steal and bring Ella back to heals his father. When he meets her though, he can't take a chance of sacrificing her to save his father. While MArco struggles with how to keep Ella and keep her safe, Ella struggles with wanting to help. At the same time, the temple is hunting for Ella with a weapon that no one knew about.

This was a great addition to this series. I was able to read and get lost in it in one sitting. I am hoping we will get a book for Sahl.

Star Wars meets fire starter

Marco, the leader of the Zua rebels has his hand full... The evil Alhmanics have taken the planet and have destroyed its resources. Ella is kept prisoner as a healer in the temple, for profit by the evil fathers. When Marco finds out about Ella, he realises there's another, just like him, and makes plans to rescue her. With both Marco and Ella's power, they strive to defeat the corrupt invaders, finding love and family along the way. A fast paced, rip roaring adventure that will leave you lusting for more. Another fantastic instalment of the warrior brides series.

This book isn't broken down into chapters but parts. Each part is several chapters in his/her PoV. Part I was good, but slow. A whole lot of detail that I thought was nice. It wasn't rushed like many Sci-fi romance. The other parts? Parts II and III? Horribly rushed with added characters that were just out there and didn't fit in with the story. Not really.

Taylor's take on this has potential, so I'm not going to be crushing. It needs a lot of refining, more to the plot, and a more satisfying end. As it stands, I would not recommend it.

***I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review***

I thought that the book was well written, and the descriptions for this world were well done. The notion that Ella was sheltered away from everyone and everything and controlled for her powers of healing, which were also controlled to whom she could use her powers for. Marco also an alien on this world used his powers to protect the Rebel faction. Their stories and their relationship was well told.

This book started out a little slow for me and I think it was due to Marco's resistance to doing anything about anything. The alien aspect was not really that apparent and I really just had a hard time getting through this one. I adore sci-fi romance so I was a little disappointed by this book -- just wasn't my thing.

I received an ARC of this book from the publisher through Hidden Gems in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts and words contained here are entirely my own.

I received this ARC in exchange for my honest review. I loved it and couldn't put it down once I started reading it. Taylor used strong characters and a good story line. I can't wait to go back and read the other 6 books to this series. You will enjoy reading about Marco and Ella. Ella can heal everything and everyone but herself. Marco is a lonely Alpha who is looking for a mate. I can't wait to read more.

It is a really good romance. You have a woman who can heal everyone but herself. She is a slave to those who want to use her talents to increase their wealth. He is a man on a mission to save another and will do anything to achieve his goal. He doesn't expect to want her for his own. I enjoyed the story and the characters.

Good Story

This was a good story. The beginning was a little stiff, and I didn't know if I would truly get into this book. But boy was I wrong! The story picked up speed. I just wished that there were more descriptions on what the different people's looked like. Also, the why on how Marco and Ella's ship crashed.
