About this ebook

Iva’s family forced her to join the Colony, to keep her apart from the man she’d fallen in love with. What they didn’t know was that he was going to the Colony, too…

But when Iva wakes up from stasis, there’s no sign of him. With the help of the Intergalactic Dating Agency, she hopes to find him…only to be kidnapped by an alien.

An alien who wants her to pretend to be his wife, or he’ll get kicked out of the Colony.

Iva doesn’t mind a bit of role play, but when the chemistry in their fake relationship reaches boiling point…might she have found her perfect match?

Ratings and reviews

This short story is dual POV, well written, and a fast-paced, sci fi romance. I was amused by Iva’s self-centredness - she wasn’t malicious, just self focused and determined to get what she wanted. I enjoyed Shade’s similar self focus. Neither of these characters is particularly nice but they suited each other perfectly. I enjoyed their steamy intimate interludes and I enjoyed how the story furthered the background plot running through this series. I also appreciated the setup for the next story

Shade is an alien enforcer from the planet Tito lives on the Colony now and he needs to find a way to come to terms with his past but he has not been able to move on, he gets an ultimatum. Linnaea wants to return to Star Farms but Maia informs her that she cannot at the time she offers her a place to stay and a job. Linnaea finds her boss threatening her job. Romantic, and entertaining heartwarming alien love story. I read a copy without obligation. I volunteered an honest review.

Shade is an incubus who works as one of Hera’s Enforcers. He can’t get over being betrayed by his wife. Iva is living at Star Farms, sent there to get her away from a man her mother felt was unsuitable. She is not the woman he wants; he is not the man she wants. Once they are more or less forced together, will things change? This is a short, steaming hot romance with kink. What looks like a mismatch, just might be true love. I received an ARC of this book and voluntarily reviewed it.
