How Interstellar Brides Began
Grace Goodwin, a USA Today bestselling author, crafted Interstellar Brides from her love of sci-fi classics like Star Wars and her belief that every woman deserves to be treated like a princess. Launched with *Assigned a Mate* in 2016, the series was born from Goodwin’s desire to merge spicy romance with epic sci-fi settings. Her vision: a universe where Earth women, often fleeing danger, join the Interstellar Bride Program to find their perfect alien match, exploring themes of trust, surrender, and cosmic connection.
The Heart of Interstellar Brides
The series spans multiple sub-series, including the main Interstellar Brides Program, The Colony, The Virgins, and The Beasts, with 24 books by 2023. *Assigned a Mate* introduces Eva Daily, who flees Earth and is matched with Trion’s High Councilor Tark. Their fiery dynamic sets the tone: dominance, submission, and unexpected love. *Mated to the Warriors* follows Hannah Johnson, paired with two Prillon warriors, Zane and Dare, in a steamy ménage that tests her heart and courage.
*Claimed by Her Mates* takes readers to Viken, where Leah is matched with triplet warriors Drogan, Tor, and Lev, uniting to save their planet. Meanwhile, *Mastered by Her Mates*, a prequel, dives into Amanda’s mission as a spy matched with two Prillon warriors, blending espionage with romance. Themes of submission, empowerment, and cultural clashes shine, set against vivid planets like Prillon Prime, where warriors are as skilled in love as in battle. Goodwin’s style—fast-paced, character-driven, and unapologetically steamy—makes each book a standalone adventure with interconnected characters.
The series’ allure lies in its balance of erotic tension and emotional depth. Heroines are strong, not damsels, navigating alien worlds with grit. The Interstellar Bride Program’s matchmaking adds intrigue, often pairing women with multiple mates, exploring polyamory and BDSM dynamics with consent and care, appealing to readers seeking bold, inclusive romance.
