Enjoyable, pretty fast paced alien romance. It was kind of odd that they were on Earth though, lol. Their planet seems so peaceful when described drawing the desire to visit. I think this couple does a good job trying to figure things out, I also think they make the best decision especially considering his kiss & morals. I look forward to reading more about them and the future adventures of the aliens and their mail order mates. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Ready to give up, Beth signs up for Alien mail order brides on impulse. What she isn’t ready for is the alien to show up on her doorstep the next morning. What neither of them expect is to fall in love. As a novella length book, there isn’t really a whole lot of character development but both Beth and Slate are very likeable. This is a sweet little story to spend and hour reading. I received a free copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

Beth Spirit enjoyed the smell of fresh brewed coffee as she stepped into the packed café on Sunset Boulevard and the customers all went silent. Then the camera phones started clicking away! Unfortunately, they only knew her name because she’d once been engaged to well-known action movie star Bradley Fennik and their failed relationship had been dragged through the gossip columns repeatedly. She sat down with her agent who flatly told her that Bradley had blacklisted her with all the producers and casting directors. It didn’t look good for her career. Her agent recommended apologizing to him – although he was the one caught cheating and who called off their wedding when she confronted him! She should also praise him to the reporters if she is interviewed, and say how much she misses him!!! Gag…. But Tracy said if she wouldn’t cooperate, the agency was dropping her. She didn’t belong here anymore. She was returning home. With the TV on while she packed, a news story about Vaxxlian Alien Mail Order Brides came on and she paused to watch. One of the brides stated that Vaxxlians are handsome, smart, and they mate for life and never cheat on their females. She checked the website on her computer where a testimonial talked about a fresh start – that was just what she needed! Slate looked at the tall building where his soon-to-be mate lived, and a pang of guilt over his first mate, Chellsi, came over him. She had died on their world when the Irrcons attacked and destroyed Vaxxlia. His heart would never heal from her loss. He would treat his new mate well, have children with her, but he would never love her. He knocked on her door and she was stunned – she had signed up for the program only the day before! He suggested they talk and get each other’s desires about a marriage. If they don’t feel compatible, he will release her from her obligation. She appreciated his direct approach, and they finally agreed to a marriage of convenience which would help each of them, a simple business transaction. But relationships don’t stay simple. Both of them feel the attraction. His kisses rock their world! And then she gets a call that could make her career dreams rocket into stardom with a leading role! And Bradley wants her back! What choice will she make? Has she come to realize Slate is the very best choice for her life, even if he doesn’t want to fall in love with her? Or will she want to take that offer and show everyone in the acting world that she is a star? This was a very enjoyable story, putting Beth in a horrible situation, giving her hope for a new life and new start, then presenting the most difficult choice she will probably ever have to make! The reader is drawn into the story, can easily like both characters, and then has to watch as Beth makes her life-changing decision. Don’t miss this one!
