He's awkward. He's adorable. He's alien as hell.

Zylar of Kith B'alak is a four-time loser in the annual Choosing. If he fails to find a nest guardian this time, he'll lose his chance to have a mate for all time. Desperation drives him to try a matching service, but due to a freak solar flare and a severely malfunctioning ship AI, things go way off course. This "human being" is not the Tiralan match he was seeking.

She's frazzled. She's fierce. She's from St. Louis.

Beryl Bowman's mother always said she'd never get married. She should have added a rider about the husband being human. Who would have ever thought that working at the Sunshine Angel daycare center would offer such interstellar prestige? She doesn't know what the hell's going on, but a new life awaits on Barath Colony, where she can have any alien bachelor she wants.

They agree to join the Choosing together, but love is about to get seriously strange.

Contains mature themes.

I’ve read my fair share of alien romance novels and the dog being able to communicate was hands down my favorite part of this book. Granted I loved the characters and the plot and trails they had to go through but the dog was my favorite. Definitely would recommend.

Very odd story. Interesting but also hard to figure out what the aliens actually looked like. I have to say that Max was the most entertaining character in my opinion.

I really enjoyed this love story. Even though they are different creatures with different cultures we can watch them grow and learn about each other and their cultures. The dog is definitely a plus and he had his own personality which was nice.

Cute little alien love story. Plus a talking dog…

So before starting this review I just wanna say I am a huge Teratophilia person or monster lover. My favorite type of book is the one with non-human male lovers and a female human rather then the Pathatic excuse for a "monster" or "Alien" who is basically a human with diffrent colored skin and an asshole persona more times then not of the "HMPH I AM ALPHA!!" Stereotype and they really don't respect the woman undermine her and have her apologize for something thats not her fault. This story is not one of those. It is sweet. Captivating and all together a truely amazing and unique experience of which I think all Alien X Human stories can learn from and definitely worth a credit if you are a teratophilia like me or someone whos looking for something a little different from the mainstream. With an adorable Insect Alien and a Human girl with a cute dog!

That being said I was a huge fan of the sex scenes and I absolutely loved them!!! I actually prefer the creative aspect the Writer took with the sex scenes I know alot of people were a bit weirded out by them but I actually like that she took the insect aspect and ran with it and I love them learning new things that suited just THEM rather then the normal hum and bum of everyday sex but rather they found something that worked for them and you dont see that very often. Most of these stories about Aliens or creatures have simillar genitala to a human male and shy away from this kind of sex thats different and new but I enjoyed it quite a bit! I can only think of one book similar to it and romance wasn't even the main plot point (which made it fall a bit flat in that area) but this was absolutely amazing and I hope the Author writes more books of this nature!

I would recommend this book to any and all Monster lovers who strive for a difference species romance that is built on love, respect, kindness and a whole bunch of misunderstandings. 10/10 Will 100% read again and reccomend to other monster lovers because this book NEEDS more attention and if this review reaches even one person like me and makes them decided on this book I will have considered it a win!

So Teratophilia here and 10/10 would recommend!

The story and relationship development is good but there are some weird bits and the book description isn’t all that great compared to the actual story.

*Do be aware, the male character is an insectoid, not a humanoid, if that is too weird for you. I can appreciate the non-discriminative love and the gender neutral friend character, but the interspecies sex is a bit odd. Although I do have to give respect for the creative mind of the author.

Weird but enjoyable / Insectoid + Human?

this story was a refreshing take on an alien romance as the ML was not a super a-hole or a warrior or a moody charming misunderstood perfect and sexy in every way alien. Instead he was uncertain, pure in a way that didn't make you roll your eyes and honestly just a nice guy trying to get through life while feeling inadequate to others who seemed to have so much more together but he finds the right person and starts to flourish. the only thing I would complain about is how the FL seemed... valley girlish at times but other than that it was an enjoyable read.

wonderful
