Dr. Ellie Wright worked hard to be one of the first exo-geologists in space. It's too bad her employer cuts corners and has constant problems. When she's given the wrong data for a planet assessment, she ends up on the wrong planet and in the middle of a man...er...alien-hunt for Aladrina, a Sibian crime lord. Zyan, the tracker hunting the fugitive, is a gorgeous hunk, sweeping Ellie off her feet and into an intergalactic adventure. With someone at the Celestial Mates Agency watching over them, their HEA is guaranteed, even if the route there is a bit bumpy.
Wrong Place, Right Mate (Celestial Mates) Reviews

While many may find this erotica great I thought it was a piece of drivel. First of all, if you crash and launch a locator beacon, why would you leave your ship to roam around on an uncharted planet? It would make much more sense to go if the ship was damaged beyond compare (it had self-repair systems that she thought might have been enough to repair it) and the beacon was damaged or wouldn't launch--all of this easily written into the story. Next, she is the first human to ever meet an alien yet she feels no fear or trepidation at all. Then we get to him. He is in desperate pursuit of a fugitive who is a mass murderer and a dangerous chameleon. Why in the world would he take on the dead weight of a alien he has no obligation to? She will just slow him down and endanger him by knowing nothing of stealth. Again, this could have been written in a more convincing manner. Then we get to the first time they have time alone. This is when the not-so-hot erotica comes out, and it's badly written too. Here is one of the over-the-top and completely laughable passages:
"You can't take me yet. You need to be prepared."
She arched a brow. "How do you do that?"
"We need to ensure that your p@ssy is soft and has maximum elasticity." The words were oddly arousing despite their scientific sound, which was a bit jarring under the circumstances.
She bit her lip. "How long does that take?"
"No more than several minutes and several orgasms."
This is after they have had five pages of foreplay. So, yeah, the plot is just a framework for them to bang each other. If it had been better written maybe I would have stayed with it but, with a lot of other things waiting in my queue to read, I turned it in KU and moved on. -
1.5 stars.
I'm glad this was on KU and I didn't actually pay for it because this book just wasn't for me. I was bored the majority of the time, constantly questioning everyone's choices, actions and reactions and I honestly feel like I should have skipped this one. -
Nuestra protagonista es una de las primeras científicas en explorar realmente el espacio de la especie humana, ya no solo teorizar como pueden ser otros planetas y mundos si no que ahora pueden viajar a esos planetas con sus lanzadoras. Lo que menos espera ella es encontrarse con una serie de problemas en su primera misión.
¿Que posibilidad hay de que los datos se mezclen y la manden al planeta incorrecto? Al parecer mucha en un planeta al que no estaba asignada y mucho menos preparada esta ahora con el problema mayor que su nave esta rota y quien sabe cuanto tiempo le tomara al sistema repararla. Ella no se desanima y empieza a explorar el planeta.
El caza recompensas no espera encontrarse a una humana del planeta Tierra en su misión de encontrar a una peligrosa fugitiva de la galaxia. El destino los pone juntos y el sabe que ella es mas que una atracción física que siente por ella sabe que es su única y no le importa nada la opinión que la matriarca de su familia a la que nunca a llevado la contra no la apruebe es suya y se la quedara.
El primer contacto que los humanos tienen con los Alienes no es lo que esta Doctora tenia en mente. -
Decent not amazing nor bad. I wished their were more couples moments like rather than a time jump and from anothers pov while that was cute it wouldve been nicer to see them do the bond mate ceremony and her meet his family we know nothing of her life on earth or if she ever plans on going back for at the very least a visit o if she even can due to the alliance laws or whatever im amssuming has largely prevented aliens who clearly know what humans are but largely steer clear and havent all run over their to sell them as slaves idk i wish their as a first book in a large series wouldve been a bit more establishment of the universe to get a sense of the environment and rules like are the alliance protecting primitive earth they know so much about as to be able to translate their languages? Or what? Idk there were some things that irked me but there were also quite a few cute moments. Yeah shame we didnt get to see their pregnancy and if their baby looked like her or him or whatever all the cool stuff of his world more of his culture etc. It does mention a princess jory which is apparently eluding to a human a few centuries back who ended up on his planet married to a prince which is how he knew they could breed but like i shouldnt have to read a another book thats set in time before this one to get a decent amount of info about the alien dude. I mean other than the eating food we learned nothing and even that was pretty slim on anything of merit like i get their situation probably didnt have a lot of time for teach the human but yeah its a book if they have time for other things like walking all over the place instead of staying inside a safe ship where the mass killing sociopath cant get them and will likely investigate anyway then they have time to talk basic stuff. Including their personal backgrounds the only reason we know alien dude has any family is his own thoughts which he didnt share with her. Yeah just need more couple and more culture sharing.

Sweet romance story set in a galaxy far way.
Ellie is an exo-geologist on a mission to a do survey on a recently discovered planet.
Zyan is a bounty hunter after a criminal that escaped en route to her execution.
These two collide when Ellie's ship crashes down on the wrong planet. The same planet that Zyan is currently on attempting to capture a criminal who escaped en route to her execution.
While I found both characters likeable and fun travel companions. I was never truly sold on their attraction to each other. For some reason the sparks didn't translate for me.
The action part of the story was an enjoyable read and I definitely cheered the MCs on.
I voluntarily and honestly reviewed this Author's Copy and was not compensated in any way. -
Just to short to give this story the depth and justice it could have used.
Good if simple plot but a few hiccups that were missed.
Likeable characters but I was left feeling like I didn’t know them. More background and a nice epilogue of their baby and what they decide to do in the future would have been nice.
I mean, did he give up bounty hunting or did she travel with him whilst pregnant?
Read through KU. -
hmm so many things wrong with this book.
no chemistry whatsoever between the two mcs.
out of the blue this 'being' appears on board the ship giving instructions to zyan on where ellie is. utterly ridiculous.
the pace is wrong for the book and it has no soul, its all very superficial. the characters are just not believable and it just jarred the whole way through.
do not like this writing style at all
disappointing -
Far better than the first read/listen from thus author. I found Ellie to be smart and non typical Earthling. She was curious by nature and open minded. Zyan was interesting. Golden scaly skin, pale hair, and those eyes. He was a tracker. She was a scientist. This was a beginning for me.
Narration was good but not gooooooood. This audio was of much better quality. -
This is the first book for me by Aurelia Skye and what an enjoyable listen it was. I read and listen to a great deal of books so it was nice to listen to one that was a little different from all the others. I did like the way the dating agency worked, a nice twist.
Of course Meghan did an awesome job with the narration she has a great voice to listen to. -
THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE AUDIOBOOK VERSION
Short but interesting, good action and a bit steamy, characters easy to follow. Narration was good but I think the use of multiple narrators would have added to the performance. I recommend this story. I received this through audiofreebies, no review was required I am voluntarily leaving this review. -
I'm giving this 3 stars because I did enjoy it. But it was a quick and dirty (not that kind of dirty) story, with little development. Not a bad way to kill some time, but nothing I'm going to remember either.
-
Good book.
That Commander is such an asshole and I don't know why enough staff make a complaint against him since it's obvious he's crooked & care more about lining his pockets than the reason everyone is out there in the 1st place. -
I kind of liked this one. Not too unbelievable, and I liked the characters. I'd read more from this author.
-
Loved this story...
-
Very enjoyable!!!!
This is the second Celestial Mates book that I've read and I really enjoyed it. Ellie and Zayn were great characters! This book has a lot of action and steam! -
Such a great, short read! I loved Princess by Mistake, and this one was even better. I hope there are more. The epilogue hints there will be.
-
This is a short spicy read/listen. With interesting characters and a good storyline I enjoyed it. Meghan gives a great performance bringing these characters alive.
-
Loved it!!!

This is a good, short, sexy science fiction romance. Kellie and Zyan are fated mates, but actually they have been set up by the Celestial Mating Agency. I would have liked more back story, but this is a short read. Too short in my opinion, it could have been better. It is still definitely worth reading, I would recommend it to anyone who likes short sci-fi romance.

Loved it. :)
I quick fun read for me and a great little story that leads to more I hope to enjoy with this series for Celestrial mates. We meet Dr. Ellie Wright, a exo-geologists traveling in space towards a set destination, only to find that with her superiors cutting corners, she's somewhere else. Making the most of her time she sets about to look around.
She meets Zyan, a tracker/bounty hunter looking for an escaped alien crime lord/lady - Aladrina. Both are curious about the other and end up on their journey together. Ellie has a nasty meeting with the alien woman and is soon being well protected by Zyan. It was fun reading their thoughts, as they get to know each other and a relationship forms between the two.
There are a few more adventures/hiccups along the way to their eventual happiness and you will enjoy if you have a liking of the SciFi paranormal romance. This will not disappoint. :) I now look forward to more in this series. Thank you for the gifted copy that I am always happy to give my open and honest review for. :) -
Ellie is an exo geologist sent to survey a newly found planet. When she arrives in orbit she finds out that somehow the wrong data is in her computer or she is on the wrong planet. Her ship is programmed to land on the planned planet and ends up crashing since the landing data is incorrect. While Ellie takes stock of the situation, she meets Zyan. He at first thought she was his bounty hunting target. He is happily surprised by Ellie.
Zyan is the best bounty hunter and is on an important mission to re-capture an alien who has kill thousands of beings. After meeting Ellie, he is tempted to give up the hunt to spend time with Ellie. Instead he takes her with him on his hunt.
This was a good story with lots of action and surprises. Ellie adjusts very well to the fact of aliens around her and is enthusiastic on being with Zyan. -
Dr. ellie wright is an exo-geologist and worked hard to get this position to explore. She is on a mission to a planet but when she gets there she finds out someone goofed and the info on the planet is not for the planet she was sent to.
Zyan is on a mission to recapture Aladrina and take her to her execution.
Ellie and Zyan meet on the planet and it didn't go all that smoothly but after she finds out there is a mass murderer on the planet she sticks with him.
Every time he leaves her something bad happens. The last time she was kiddanaped. As luck would have it a member of the celestial mate agency steps in to help!
This was really alot of fun to read. Story idea is great. I loved the characters and first contact was funny. Lol syfy fans should really have fun with this one.
Voluntary reviewed and I honestly loved it -
Part of the Celestial Mates and I am enjoying them very much, different Authors have written this series, and I have not been reading in order. Dr. Ellie Wright worked hard to get where she is and she has to work even harder when he boss isn’t nice.She has been sent out to map one planet but the coordinates send her to a different one where she crash-lands and at this time humans do not realize they are not alone in the universe. What happens when she meets Zyan a bounty hunter tracking a very dangerous criminal called Aladrina who is a Sibian crime lord . What happens ? Who is the Celestial being watching over these two? I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
