The alien who hand-picked me to wed and bed is the most domineering warlord of the bunch. Lucky me.

As the first humans allowed in Suevan space, there’s a lot riding on my all-woman team. Earth desperately needs their tech, and I’m determined to prove we can negotiate the price. Without their planetary defense systems, Earth is a sitting duck, ripe for invasion.

Except the Suevan culture is nothing like ours.

When I take part in what I think is a welcoming ceremony, I leave with more than I bargained for: a husband. A mate. Apparently, we’re there to marry them as payment—something the top brass on Earth doesn’t bother denying. Fantastic.

And the Suevan who hand-picked me to wed and bed? He’s the most domineering warlord of the bunch. Lucky me. I’ll get the Suevan tech we need, but there’s no way I’m giving in to his demands…no matter how, ahem, persuasive he might be.

While Ms. Jackson and Mr. Lloyd’s narrations do sometimes give me Ice Planet Barbarian vibes, I easily forgave that because they are perfect for campy alien romances starring hunky but respectful aliens and feisty Earth gals. This opening book takes a little more time to set the stage for the series arc, where Earth traded a ship of unknowing women in exchange for the defense technology Earth desperately needs.
So, there’s a little less camp compared to the next book, which upped the humor and hit my Goldilocks zone for alien romance, mixing sexy, funny, and action packed in equal measure. But, I love that the gals are both fierce and feminine, and this book introduces several of the gals who will get later HEAs, so starting here makes sense.

I was at first a bit worried about this having aliens in loin cloths and primitive living conditions (the cover art being a bit misleading). Luckily, this is more like a Wakanda vibe, where the Suevans are technologically advanced and also live close to nature, allowing for Romancing the Stone type of adventure in the nearby jungle and medicine, clean clothes and pampering back in civilization.

This book features human captain Nikki and Warlord Draz, poison snails and a welcome trope reversal having Nikki be the savior instead of the damsel. She’s a bit bloodthirsty (comic book levels of violence), very stubborn, and not adverse to dropping an F bomb when the situation calls for it.
Yep, Nikki was the perfect salt, tequila, lime heroine and Draz the perfect honorable Warlord with
extra parts for her pleasure.

I recommend this series for those who also liked:
-Ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon (this is if you want less fight scenes and more fated mates focus)
-Drixonians by Ella Maven (same scaled aliens in dire need of women, but gals aren’t quite as fierce)
-Galactic Gladiators by Anna Hacket (if the warrior thing is a must - books 1-3 are in a collection)

Dynamic duo of alien rom coms strikes again!

The concept/plot for this series is interesting. The world Bell’s created is interesting and the characters are well-written! I can’t wait to see how the other books will turn out!

This book was so sweet and fun. I’ve already bought the next one and I can’t wait to continue in the series and I love the fact that all the alien romance makes our government look like the shitheads they are lol I hope you enjoy this as much as I did, it is really fun.

Sweet and fun

If you are a fan of alien romance, you will enjoy this story and likely the series. There is some overlap with other aliens from other authors (the Drixonian Warriors comes to mind first), but that's about it. This is a future where humanity is already spacefaring, but not as advanced as they need to be so enter Aliens who want to trade tech for wives.

Love that the women are all competent and seem to have been developed characters so that's bodes well for the series. I'm really looking forward to Becs story since she is all about xeno/human relations - hope she stays as high libido as she is portrayed in this story.

My only real complaints are that Holli Jackson didn't do a similar accent for the male and I'm not sure this story even needed dual narration since his chapters were very short. Might have been better as single or duet narration. Also, the ending was rushed and it seemed like there were a lot more human women in the crew than were introduced at the start. I think 10 in total but Nikki acted like she didn't know some of her own crew at the end.

I loved alien romance books like this. I always look forward to reading anything with g HEA at the end because sometimes we just need a break from all the drama. This was a first book of January Bell’s I’ve read, looking forward to more!

woman meets alien, fall in love Yassss

Great story, great narration, typical alien story. I was not disappointed in the story at all, but I also wasn't blown away either.

It was nice

This quirky romance is engaging and fun. Although the themes may not be unique, the presentation and character dialogue is highly entertaining. I have read enough romances to know this is not one to pass up. The intimate scenes pretty steamy, and not over done. I read this in a day! Can’t wait to hear about the other characters POV.

Great read!

I love this narrator pair. I really liked this book and I think it smart up the series really well.

Great series starter

Nikki and her team were sold by their Earth government to the Aliens as brides without being notified or given a choice.
Seems to me the aliens did a poor job planning their ceremony with almost no security, but with native resident couples as guests?!
Seems to me there was an unnecessary trek through the jungle but humorous situations. That poor planning again.
Seems to me that the aliens wouldn’t just place the Earth women in a group home. Where’s the assigned interpreter? Where’s the Linguist to teach the local dialect? And it just ends after Nikki and Draz reach the city with nothing resolved. Italian would be great if Bell could be edited for a more complete individualized story and less like a chopped off section of a serial.
Lloyd & Jackson do a decent job of narrating. Just wish they could read together instead of alternating chapters.

not bad
