Rebel Mate (Interstellar Brides Program Book 20) by Grace Goodwin

4 Stars

The writing and editing of the ARC version of the manuscript was fairly clean, with only occasional typos. The world building was quite vivid, which was a pleasure to read. The characterization was well done, with both hero and heroine being sympathetic individuals with strengths and weaknesses. The development of the romantic relationship was hot and paced well. The plot and pacing were quick and exciting, meaning I read this novel in one sitting. There was low angst and very high stakes in this romance novel, which I typically prefer in a romance novel. This novel used the Prodigal Son and Partner in Trouble tropes. The world building, plot and pacing were all four stars. The characterization and development of the romantic relationship were also four stars. I therefore gave this novel a combined rating of four stars. This novel had a Happy Ever After ending instead of a cliffhanger, so that was a big plus. I recommend this novel to readers who enjoy sci-fi romances with BDSM elements. I look forward to reading the next novel in this series when it releases, and I will be buying myself a keeper copy of this novel.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
