Blurb/Summary:

I never wanted to sell my blood for money. But that’s what I end up doing after an alien merchant abducts me and dumps me on O’nagga Nine. When I run into Baron Vik’tor and he takes a liking to me, it seems like my luck has turned. But the Baron is a powerful man and there are people in his life that want me dead. Will I survive being The Baron’s Bride?


Natalie Hale hates her life. You would too if an alien merchant abducted you and then dumped you on a distant planet where it’s so cold even the buildings and infrastructure are made of ice. To survive, Natalie has to sell her blood, which is the only commodity she has. Because the inhabitants of O’nagga Nine, where she’s living, need blood to survive, she manages to make a meager living. But she’s barely scraping by until she literally runs into the Baron.

Baron Vik’tor is the richest, most influential man on the planet. He’s also a half-breed—a Naggian/Braxian mix which means he has curling horns, blue tattoos, and a wicked temper whenever he thinks the woman he cares for is threatened. And it just so happens, he cares for Natalie.

But Natalie’s personal Pretty Woman scenario can’t last long. The Baron is a powerful man and there are people in his life that don’t like her having influence on him. Some will even stop at nothing to kill her. Can Natalie survive being The Baron’s Bride? You’ll have to read to find out.

Author's Note--This is book 6 in the Alien Mate Index series but it can be read as a stand alone book, though you might enjoy it more if you read books 1-5 first.


Review:

Readers first met Natalie in The Overlord’s Pet, and now we get to find out what happened to her after she is dumped on O’nagga Nine. This story is a great addition to the series.

Vik’tor is the richest businessman on O’nagga Nine and he takes an instant liking to Natalie. Natalie is wary but grateful to not be freezing and starving. Their attraction and chemistry together are like a runaway train, and their journey is fraught with dangerous obstacles. Natalie and Vik’tor’s relationship grew stronger with each obstacle they circumvented.

The Baron’s Bride brings in some past characters from other Alien Mate Index books. This story sews up most of the loose ends, character’s futures and of course Evangeline Anderson leaves us with a happily-for-now ending. Evangeline Anderson left a way to come back and play in this series.

I received an ARC for an honest review.
