About this listen
I HAVE THREE DAYS...
Tei
A year ago, I reluctantly erased my true other half’s memories of our time together. She said that if we were truly meant to be married, our souls would find each other again. Now, I’ve illegally traveled to Earth and have found her alone in a secluded cabin. I only have a few days to convince her of who I am to her. But the odds are against me. She didn’t recognize me on sight, no longer has a translator, and sees me as an alien. But I refuse to give up. There is no one else for me in the galaxy.
WILL I BE ABLE TO CONVINCE TOVE OF OUR LOVE IN TIME?

The Alliance Holiday Series is set in the present day. However, aliens, especially the Alliance fleet, play an important role in humanity’s interactions in the galaxy (even if most humans are unaware). Enter this alien world and follow these human women to the Alliance Empire, a matriarchal society where women have always ruled, but Alliance men have always dominated their hearts. There are few heroes or women being rescued. Instead, listeners are led through complex traditions of an alien culture: mazes of alien courting rituals, obedience to strict religious codes, and often uncomfortable compromises, all while chasing romance and marriage. Every door is open in the Holiday Alliance Series. Each book is standalone but can be traced back to something the women in House Human discovered about the Alliance’s relationship with Earth 600 years later in the Renascence Alliance Series. An overarching story is intertwined throughout the series, but it is not necessary to listen to the books chronologically to enjoy the romance of each individual book.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Annie has always had high hopes for her future. But the reality of her life just isn’t measuring up. She loves her fiancé, Greg–doesn’t she? She’s going to get her degree and open her own business–won’t she? Then, a strange old woman shows up outside her house, and she seems to know a lot about Annie. An awful lot. Annie could tell the old woman to get lost. Yet there’s something about her Annie just can’t shake. And what she learns could change her life forever–but is it the life she envisioned?

Another lovely story in the holiday themed series!
I previously reviewed the E-Book version of this story and have eagerly grabbed an audio version when offered for review as I can listen to while traveling or puttering around the house.
As with other audio versions of this series I have enjoyed the narration’s of the artists Jill Smith and Jack Calihan very much as their sensuous, captivating voice characterizations bring the author’s writing style to life.
Married to the Yuletide Alien was a wonderful affirmation of love set during the Christmas season and taking place in the universes of Earth and the Alliance.
Human Tove and Tei of House Rega have a history that unfolds with excellent writing and wonderful world building with their story coming to life within the pages of a heartwarming sometimes nail biting narrative that is an ultimately emotionally satisfying read.
I enjoyed this story enormously as I’m sure other readers of Sci-Fi Romance and this series of holiday tales will too.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Married to the Yuletide Alien!
This is a new author for me and I was pleasantly surprised in the story. It is an alien romance about Tei and Tove. The author created an interesting and intriguing science fiction story with an interesting spin. Tove, a human, found herself in a foreign lace with no memory of where she has been. Two years have been lost to her. She feels lost and has a man who will not take no for an answer. He friend talks her in to going to her cabin. There a stranger, an alien, comes to her door. The bizarre starts to happen, revelations are made and truths revealed. This is a creative story with likable characters. The wedding ritual spin was, let's just say, "different". I thought the narration was really good and brought the characters and their story to life. I look forward to reading/listening to more by this author.

heartwarming
Married to the Yuletide Alien by Alma Nilsson is a delightful blend of sci-fi and Christmas romance, perfect for those who enjoy a festive love story with an otherworldly twist. Tei, the alien protagonist, is on a time-sensitive mission to rekindle a forgotten love with Tove, his human soulmate, during the holiday season in a remote Swedish cabin. The tension of trying to convince her of their past connection while facing cultural and linguistic barriers makes for an engaging, emotional ride.
The narration by Jill Smith and Jack Calihan enhances the audiobook experience, with Smith capturing Tove’s confusion and Calihan bringing depth to Tei's determination. Their voices complement the story’s atmosphere, adding warmth and a touch of holiday magic.
If you enjoy a mix of romance, sci-fi, and a cozy Christmas setting, this audiobook is a fun and heartwarming choice.

Tove and Tei
The first book in the Alliance Holiday series. This is Human Tove and Tei of House Rega's story. A year ago Tove was found where she was not suppose to be, she had been missing for two years. I enjoyed listening to their story and seeing them get a happy ending. Alma Nilsson's narration brings this story to life. I want to listen to the next book.

Sci-Fi Romance with an original world building
This is the first book in the Alliance Holiday Series, a Sci-Fi Romance. The characters are complex, and intriguing. The world building is original. Jill Smith and Jack Calihan did an excellent job bringing this story to life. I enjoyed it. Looking forward to listening to Married to My Alien Valentine, the next book in the series. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Married to the Yuletide Alien
Book 1 of Alliance Holiday story for Tei and Tove. I have to say I loved the way these two get a second chance at love and all the wild things that happened before and after. I loved how Tove gets to surprise Tei a lot in this book and how these two show their love for each other.

💖 When Your Alien Comes Back for You
📖 Summary:
Tei has only three days to convince Tove that they’re soulmates… after erasing her memory and returning to Earth illegally. No pressure.
📚 Bookish Moments:
“Furry folds” will live rent-free in my brain forever 🤣
This one felt heavier than others in the series — especially when we learn what happened before Tei came back. No spoilers but 😭😭.
Again, I would have died during the marriage ceremony properly. Especially with no heads up! These Alien husbands are truly clueless!
🌌 Worldbuilding:
Tei’s devotion to his religion and societal expectations is deep — to the point of emotional self-sacrifice.
It added complexity to his character, but I’d offer caution to readers sensitive to themes of religious control or trauma.
💭 Final Thoughts:
This wasn’t my favorite of the series, but I still enjoyed the ride. I personally would’ve had a hard time forgiving Tei, but I liked where things landed.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
⸻
🎧 Narration Style: Dual
⭐️ Audio Score: 4 stars
🔁 Re-listen Worthy: Yes — but only after mentally prepping for emotional whiplash and alien religious angst.

Tei and Tove
Story: Tove (h), a nurse, tries to get on with life after a mysterious event left her with an extended gap in her memory. She goes to a remote mountain cabin in Sweden and is awoken in the night when an injured figure knocks at her door. Tei (H) is an alien who’s come to Earth illegally in hopes of reawakening Tove’s feelings and memories of their time together. He has a limited amount of time before he runs out of time convincing her of their love once the authorities become aware of his presence. A slow burn alien romance that takes a while for the heat to build (@85% mark). Alien-human Christmastime romance, exploring love, connections, cultural differences, resilience, and healing.
Audio: Narrator Jill Smith does a great job with female voices, and a good job with male voices. I personally prefer duet style narration where a female narrator is used to voice female voices, and a male narrator for male voices - but I've come to appreciate Smith who's voice works well, even for male voices. Audio quality is good and there were no issues.

Enjoyable
At first I struggled with the pov. The back and forth. Until I "got it". Then it was a good read. He really wants to prove himself to her and prove they are meant to be together. Romance and heat. I listened while getting some chores done and it made that time go fast ;)
