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!

So freaking fun! And cute! I love this series. These books always put a smile on my face. River is just such a little spitfire. And serious Kai just gets all smoopy for him regardless of what crazy thing River is doing. Greg Boudreaux's narration brings this series to life in such a perfect way. You can feel River's choatic energy in his voice! And his tone for Kai is just perfect too.

All the side characters are just as likable. I mean, I am DYING for Mal and Benji's story. And Zamir and Wilder. And of course Evan and Zion. And you know what I'm now even dying for Aiden and the sweet pink guy whose name starts with O. (His name is way too hard for me to spell right from memory.)

I hope this series continues for a long while because I'd seriously read it forever. It's like Xanax as a book. My mood is instantly lifted. And the tentacles are hot AF too ;)

Greg Boudreaux shines as River and Kai

They just keep getting better, and the narrator nails it again. Wonderfully written characters, ridiculous dialog, and I audibly gasped at a big reveal. Can't wait for the next installment, and crossing fingers that a particular couple finally get a clue and get together.

Tentacular!

I have been in love with Chloe Archer's Tentacular Tales since the very first book. I think this is the first book/series I've ever encountered where I loved the audiobook experience even more than reading it myself. And all of that is due to Greg Boudreaux's fantastic narration. He brings such energy to the story and life to the characters. I love his different voices for all the characters, and done so well it's easy to tell them apart, from Kai to River to Nirblob to Lord Vardox to Captain Starblade- the list goes on. River's energy and enthusiasm never ceases to make me laugh and the cast are all endearing. No one could be more perfect to narrated this series and I highly recommend listening to them all!

**Original Ebook Review 5/29/23 **

“That’ll teach you, a$h0le! Don’t mess with River Sullivan and the Lightsaber Dong of Doom.”

I almost can't formulate the words to describe my love for this book. This series has completely captivated me from the start. To say I was excited for this book is a massive understatement. Amazing world building and incredible characters. Everyone has their own unique and diverse personality. River lights up the page every time he appears. I love his sass and the way he thinks. It's impossible not to smile with him, and at times laugh out loud. Kai is just as yummy as always. Loveable, unique, and fun supporting characters. The threat of an assassin is dangerous, and exciting, and fun. The scene with the Lightsaber Dong was a surprise that nearly killed me- for so many reasons. I don't think I've ever cackled like that before! Add in the bonus that I've listened to the first book on audio and totally had those voices in my head. (I can't wait until books 2 and 3 are narrated!). And of course I love every scene I read of Lord Vardox and Captain Starblade. And the plot twist! Galactic Gods! Another fantastic book from this author! I'm already salivating for more! 5 billion stars.

Fantastic! Absolutely Loved It!

I’ve loved this series from the start and this next addition didn’t disappoint at all. I loved it to much! I laughed so many times and got some looks from people. Loved the little snippets at the start of each chapter it makes the world and characters feel more real. Kai and River are trying to get ready for their human wedding but there’s still the assassin to deal with. And of course figure out how people found out about River. I loved seeing it from both Kai and River’s PoVs but there were a few times I was anxious to get back to River because of what was going on. Also we get to meet some characters that I wanted to smack and hug. I also can’t wait to see the alien bonding with all the hints at this ceremony. I can’t wait for the next book! As always go team A.N.A.L and I can’t wait to see what else is going to happen with these series and what fun aliens we will meet. We also find out more about the evil and what their plans are.

Kai and River!

I enjoyed this 3rd installment in the Tentacular Tales, aka Adventures of River Sullivan. This was a funny entertaining story with many adorable characters, made amazing by talented narration. Greg did such a great job with this book as well as the previous two books. His talented portrayal of humans and alien creatures made this story a perfect listening experience.

Fun story, Perfect Narration

Omg I love these books just so much! This is #3 and does not disappoint. The characters are sassy and snarky and adorable, plus all the movie references make me LOL. Greg Tremblay does a fantastic job with all the voices, I honestly don't know how he keeps them all separate. Kudos to both Archer and Tremblay for a great series- I hope there will be many more!!❤️

A Tentacular Spectatular!!!!!
