About this listen

A grumpy-sexy alien and his (mostly) human mate are just trying to get married for goodness sake! But the road to matrimony is riddled with obstacles that could prove deadly...

RIVER

Being engaged to my adorable alien boo is a dream come true. Too bad there’s a target painted on my back. Come on universe, quit messing with true love! For reals. Kai and I need to plan our wedding—which is going to be hella quirky and fun, because I say so.

Cue Shilgar the Deadly, who’s screwing up everything—what with trying to kill me and all. My life is becoming even more unbelievable than my fictional characters, Lord Vardox and Captain Starblade.

There’s no way I’m not walking down the aisle with Kai, so help me! I fully intend to ‘get me to the church’—I mean Vegas wedding chapel—on time. This fool of an assassin thinks he can mess with my dreams of wedded bliss? I don’t think so. He’s about to learn he’s met his match in River Sullivan!

KAI

My relationship with River is solid and wedding bells are in the air. Unfortunately, other parts of my life are…less stable. Between juggling a highly inconvenient Mating Fever that can strike at any time, and dealing with an investigator from Intergalactic Alliance Headquarters, I’m finding it hard to hold onto my usual equilibrium.

When Shilgar the Deadly finally shows up on Earth, gunning for River, the control I cling to is stretched razor thin. I’m desperate to do whatever I can to keep my mate safe—but I’m not sure if I can.

Yet things aren’t all that they seem. New secrets come to light and we’re all left reeling. Apparently, that famous Earthling playwright was correct when he wrote, “the course of true love never did run smooth….”

When a Man Loves an Alien (Tentacular Tales #3) is a (100k words) M/M sci-fi rom com and the third book in the series. It should be listened to in chronological order. This installment features an assassin who just won’t quit, little old ladies at slot machines who should NOT be messed with, a zipline action-hero moment, shocking secrets and revelations, a death-defying climax, and just maybe…a zany Vegas wedding? This book has an HFN ending and no cheating. Never fear—there is a guaranteed HEA by the end of the series!

This series just keeps getting better and better!

While falling for Kai Genaro, his tentacled fiancée, and getting a job with the Alliance of Neutral Alien Lifeforms have really improved the life of sci-fi nerd, River Sullivan, it’s not all roses. Kai has to deal with tentacular califaction, a condition which sends him into heat. It’s an arduous task but River is always willing to help soothe him! There’s also that pesky death warrant out on River’s head, a criminal mastermind intent on undermining the Alliance, and a secret mole who is feeding the mastermind Alliance information. With the arrival of a deadly assassin, it’s time for another ridiculous acronym as River launches Operation ‘Down to Incapacitate, Capture or Kill B*tch-a*s Assassin Goons’.

This series is so zany, entertaining, and warm-hearted that you can forget how effortlessly good the world-building is - it’s a present-day Earth with a fascinating hidden sci-fi underlay! While there are multiple gripping attempts on River’s life in this instalment, I never get anxious because the series radiates so much good-natured fun - there are lots of surprises and happy moments here. Greg Boudreaux gives another superb audio performance, he makes an excellent book even better!
