Take a Human female as a mate on the off chance of saving his race? Absurd.

At least that's what Prince Elorshin Do'ana thinks. It's true, the Alvan race is dying. There have been no new births in years and if they don't do something, their entire race is doomed. However, Elorshin doesn't want to bind himself to a mate that can't fully share in the fated bond that all Alvan crave. Forced into a marriage by a House more powerful than his own, Prince Elorshin doesn't think he will ever know happiness, that is until he meets his bright, luscious bride.

Margot Whelan wants two things, one of which she will never have. Love and a baby. The second can't happen, not as long as she's on Earth. Population control is too strict. When she sees an advertisement for the Celestial Mates Dating Agency she decides to take the chance. After all, what future does she have on an overpopulated Earth? She agrees to marry the hot, seven foot tall, indigo alien with sparkling emerald eyes and oddly sexy fangs.

He struggles with the war between what his body craves and what his heart needs. Somehow, Margot must get past the language barrier and forge the connection Elorshin so desperately desires. A love that Houses will go to war for.

A Baby for the Alien Prince is a stand alone novel in the Celestial Mates Shared Universe. It is a science fiction romance story with a stubborn alien and an equally stubborn human female, plenty of action-packed adventure, and hot, steamy alien romance!

Review

"Very good. At last a story with an alien which doesn't have a girl obsessed with her weight and an alien addicted to BDSM. Well written. And the story is engaging." - B. Idou

"Would read this again and will look for more books by this author.. Read this in one setting as couldn't put it down till finished it." - Daniell M.

"There is drama, suspense, and ultimately romance. The author painted a vivid picture of a very alien world and culture. I recommend this book and will be getting more in this series. Enjoy!" - Chris. S

A fantastic, extraterrestrial romance. While Elorshin Do'ana is a prince of Alva, his fealty resides in the hands of a greater noble who forces him to take an off-world bride. Margot Whelan, a human tired of cramped and uncaring societies, wants love and a child. So, she willingly subscribes to Celestial Mates. With different languages and cultures, she finds her reception cold and unappealing. Elorshin finds his attraction daunting. There are a few harrowing experiences as their relationship blossoms. But, in the end, love prevails.

I received a review copy of this book from a third party. This is my honest review.

Elorshin and Margot Whelan

This is a book, set in the loosely confederated Celestial Mates Universe, but this is the first in “The Alva” series by Miranda Martin.
In it, we meet Margot Whelan, a maid from an overpopulated Earth, and Elorshin, an Alva and Prince of a Minor House on his planet.
Elorshin is ordered to acquiesce to the celestial mates match, even though the Alva have soul-mates, or pari, and there is only one chance at that- something Elorshin fears he will be giving up by mating with a human.
Margot just wants a family of her own, and this is her only opportunity. She’s not exactly happy that her mate doesn’t seem to be on board with their pairing.

This is a fairly quick read, as you may have come to expect from the Celestial Mates reads. There’s plenty of action, adventure, and of course a little romance which doesn’t always go smoothly, partly due to linguistic issues, cultural issues, and just sheer stubbornness.
Margot is a pretty tough cookie, she comes from the rougher parts of Earth, and it’s made her very resilient. That doesn’t make her perfect of course, she does make a few stupid choices, but ultimately it’s a personality trait that proves to be a good thing.
Elorshin is honourable, and definitely bound by his duties… though it’s the duties as he sees them rather than as defined by anyone else. He too makes some silly choices, but does admit to his own error once he recognizes it.

It’s a fast paced tale, with an interesting setting- the world and culture of the Alva are definitely something I found myself wanting to know more about. There’s a lot of places this series can go, and it made for an entertaining read.
The characters were interesting, and the story fun, though the book didn’t really get to delve too deeply into any of it, due to the shorter length. Hopefully, future books in the series will answers some of those burning questions I have about the Alva world!
An enjoyable read for Celestial Mates fans, and for sci-fi romance lovers.

This is the first book I read with the Celestial mates and also Alvan race.. I really found the book to be adventurous funny and loving all at the same time... Those are things that I enjoy in a book.. Margot was trying to understand the Alvan language so she could better communicate with her new planet and it was becoming very difficult because she couldn't communicate with Elorshin.. Then also the same was happening to them, so when she was in Danger by going into the tunnels she didn't know... The underground tunnel system on the planet that connects the house that connects two houses together along with the lighting system is very unique... But see Margot didn't know about the monsters and deadly creatures in the tunnel systems in the dark areas.. but you see this is just a few of the problems they ran into trying to figure out if they would be good mates... So I really recommend that you buy the book and read it because it is adventurous it is romantic and it is definitely worth your time to read it...

3.0 out of 5 stars Spoiler Alert - Cover Doesn't Match Story

I mean, I liked the story. I liked the hero and the world building was unique. But, the cover shows a pregnant woman on it, and the book has zero pregnancy in it. I just thought that was weird. The rescue chapter ends, and then the next chapter starts with a child already born. Anyway, weirdness aside, I did like it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Baby for the Alien Prince: Celestial Mates
Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2017

I enjoyed this book. It followed the incorrect premise that in order to perpetuate their species, they would have to mate with humans. Although I feel that there is no way that an alien species that can successfully mate with a human due to the massive differences between them, this is the Celestial Mates premise and the author needs to run with it. I mean really, if man cannot mate with a close genetic match like chimps and apes, how can you expect a off planet alien (with totally different DNA) to do so? 👽.

But back to the story. If you enjoy alien lovers, a dystopian earth society, gratuitous and explicit sex and a primitive alien society in a different planet this book is for you.

The book title is misleading. No baby was mentioned until the last 2 page chapter.

The other glaring problem is that the aliens (the Alva) are basically a fairly primitive species. That their society was underground due to their sun exploding, that the stories that they were once were in a galactic war, that generations had lived underground now just says that they were once a space going race. Now, they couldn't have sustained a galactic presence or communications without technology since they just had 'stories' that said they had once travelled in space. The Celestial Mates representative had 'given' them a teleporter. (I have to assume some type of communication device was also given to the Alva) There is just so many 'convenient' incidents one can be expected to swallow. What about the mass panic at the occurrence of aliens (Galactic Mates) among the Alvans and xenophobia? Let alone a human being. The reasonable objections about another Prince who couldn't breed children on a human? I took off one star for these types of inconsistent assumptions.

Was eine originelle und tolle SF-Romance hätte werden können, entpuppte sich leider als triviale, wenig fantasievolle Liebesgeschichte.

Die Firma Celestial Mates vermittelt heiratswillige Kandidaten von Planet zu Planet. Margot lebt auf der Erde, das heisst eigentlich unter der Erde, da es auf der Erdoberfläche zu wenig Platz für die vielen Leute hat. So entschliesst sie sich, es mit einem Alien zu versuchen, um den engen Platzverhältnissen zu entfliehen. Womit sie nicht gerechnet hat, ist die Unwilligkeit ihres Alien-Mannes.

Zu viele Ungereimheiten, zu unlogisch, kaum Spannung. Dafür schöne erotische Szenen. Ein toller Mann, zwar ein Alien, aber eigentlich wie ein Erdenmann, nur mit blauer Haut genau wie bei Avatar. Zum Schmelzen. Der Weltenaufbau ist quasi nicht-existent. Die Braut wird innerhalb von Stunden auf die Empfänger-Adresse gebeamt, es erfolgt keine Instruktion der fremden Sitten. Das kann sie alleine lernen. Sie wird alleine gelassen und kommt doch mit einfach Allem klar. Sex alleine und ein schöner Mann ist zu wenig, keine Empfehlung.

Thoroughly enjoyed the book! The story centres around a minor prince who is told to look off world for a mate. Against his wish, one is found on earth.
They find true love, happiness and a baby. His world females do not appear able to procreate. This makes the birth one of joy. It has action and drama throughout the book.
Read and enjoy.

I'm not quite sure why this book was called "A Baby for the Alien Prince"... It should be called "A Mate for the Alien Prince". There was no pregnancy and the baby was a few paragraphs in the final chapter. Although the story was well written and the characters were great, I'm disappointed because I really wanted to read a book about an alien making a baby....
This really was an excellent book, once you ignore the lack of pregnancy and babies, and I'd love to read more of the series.
