How to date an Alien ( My Alien romance1) by Magan Vernon

Hello to all!

                   for this week review i'm back to the trend that i unconsciously started some weeks ago: the paranormal romance including alien(s).....i'm now free of it but i did read several that i wanted to share with you before changing again. I have been surprised to own so many alien romance (ranging from PG to erotic ones) and i have been enjoying reading several of them in a row to change a little from shifters who stay my favourite.

Today i'm sharing with you one of the softest alien romance i've read and enjoyed this summer, if you are lucky you could even grab the digital copy free on smashwords ( and perhaps on amazon but i can't guaranty it as it depends on where you live). The series is even complete so  if you want more you could indulge it this summer without delay.

Happy reading!

Short description from goodreads :

High school senior Alex Bianchi's estranged father gets her an internship at Circe Operations Center to pad her college applications. But Circe isn't your typical military base. It's an alien-run operation center and not all of the aliens are friendly, especially the one that tries to kill Alex on her first day. When Ace, a dark-eyed Caltian, enters and saves the day, she can't help but be drawn to him. Can these star-crossed lovers survive when they're on the brink of intergalactic war?

My opinion:

          Somehow i’m finding myself reading more paranormal roamnce with aliens than i imagined owning, this time i picked a YA one and Magan Vernon did a great job i think  to create a univers quite fun with a whole range of aliens of all colors and kind (  i’m still smilling at the idea of the orange “plush” one) and the story  while not fully original  still give you a great time as teh author  is making a comparaison between the aliens organisation and an high school social division

I wanted a light read  this summer and this one is just perfect in that sense... there are things that don’t make sense because really  what kind of father would bring his chil  to confront aliens without telling her about it a minimum, without ghiving her a list of what to do or not to do BEFORE she encounters the first one. Yes it’s a secret operation but still.... so yes that parts and some other don’t make sense but at the same time it didn’t bother me at all as i was fully enjoying the story. I would have loved to get a little more of the alien side about teh situation in Circe because for the majority of the book we have the main Hero Ace, the doctor and then some other that speak a little but it’s mostly from  Alex side and the interns ( bad Riley and malcom!)’ one so majoritary human.

Alex is an heroine to like as she is intelligent and still quite naive but also determined when it comes to her love and friends.. she is a normal human girl who prefer to study than to hang out and i could easily related with her and imagine her situation. Ace on the other side is still very mysterious we don learn part of his past, his identity but  that’s so little!

The story is quite fast paced but it’s a rythm that works wonderfully with this story so i would be curious to follow up this series as i’m sure there is still a lot to learn ( book 2 and 3 are already available) So if you want a fun and enjoyable reads  this is one that could be great to try especially if you can try it for free ^^

Score:  3,5/5

Fueled by lust : Drusus ( book1) by Celeste Prater

 Hello to all!!

        Are you deep into halloween preparations as well? On my side i'm trying a full new range of recipe and decorating a room for a special Cthullu party so i'm busy but not so much as not to continue my quest for october  paranormal creatures reading^^.

I hesitated between two books for today, so perhaps you will get a treat later or tomorrow, as it fits Brenda's event as well..... at the end i decided to opt for the series which has a new release this month ( so blog tour for those interested). I choose this one because you do have the opportunity to discover more about the author Celeste and win one book as well if you go participate in the GGMMMU ( see my post here or enter here).

For the little history, this series " Fueled by lust" by Celeste Prater must be read in order to be enjoyed fully so when Celeste learned i was behind she kindly gifted the missing book so i could read and review them in order....beware though that it's a addictive series so when started don't be surprised if you want the next book with delay.

As this book and series is super super steamy i would recommend it only to those above 18 so if you are too shy or under that age you can skip this post.


happy reading!

Description from goodreads :

 THIS IS BOOK 1 OF THE SERIES - SERIES BEST READ IN SEQUENCE
Drawn to Texas by a vortex link between Insedivertus and a plethora of potential mates, Prince Drusus Tarquinius focuses on ensuring the survival of his alien race. Avelina Roth is simply out on the town trying to forget her love troubles when their accidental meeting draws them both into a dangerous liaison that brings a hated enemy back into Drusus’ life and shatters Avelina’s belief that we are alone in this universe.

How does troubled in love Avelina Roth deal with the overwhelming Drusus Tarquinius, a force not of this Earth, when he engages her in his mating cycle the moment they meet? Will Drusus overlook the past and move forward with the final mating? Will Avelina survive to know the full depth of his love when the planetary war that pushed the aliens to seek mates knocks firmly on her door?


Packed with plenty of romance, hot, hunky men, humor, and scorching, knee-wobbling sex, this author recommends gloves when reading.

My opinion:

          OH my!! Let me tell you that the summary is putting lightly the level of steam of this book! This is really above the level of what I expected and was ready for but before explaining this point better to start by the beginning.

I greatly enjoyed this book so I’m more than happy that the Celeste offered me a copy. She built an alien world quite interesting and I really loved how she used roman history to mix with the alien one. It gave us a better grip on it, helped me to envision it better and it was also original and well though. To resume it:… Etruscan travellers found a vortex and arrived on a alien planet where the living being (of energy) decided to learn from the travellers and adapt themselves.. So language, architecture and I guess some custom from the Romans are still in use on Insidivertus world …. Yes for once we are the one exporting something^^;;

Then besides the setting, I also loved the whole idea for the main element of the plot. The aliens are of pure energy so they need it to survive….and how they found it while in our world? In the lust we give off… Why did they come here? Aside from the fact they knew our world existed, is simply because their world was attacked and all their female killed…..if you know some of your Roman history  you will think about immediately when you meet the villain ,coming from Protonecis planet.

Drusus was an interesting character, as the prince of their world he wants to protect those under his command and he acts. He is not a leader from afar, no; he is on the first rank with his men and dirtying his hands or so to say. He has been betrayed in the past but he manages to overcome that when meeting Avelina, he did try to see it as unimportant at first but instinct is stronger.

Avelina is a young woman with healthy curves, she is intelligent and strong willed but still she manages to get a boyfriend that was using her and trying to make lost weight… she hates that about him, wanting to be loved as she is but she still let him call her again etc… the fact she couldn’t just throw him away is what I disliked the most about her. I appreciate she was strong in her beliefs and appreciating herself… just I wanted her to b more alpha I guess. When she meets Drusus she is hesitant at first because she thinks it’s a joke or a night stand but still act on it …thankfully trust and honesty make their appearances quickly.

The suspense was there…but it wasn’t not the forte of the book either as you guess the traitor immediately and his reason as well but the story flow steadily so your attention doesn’t divert from it^^.

 Now the romance….. the romance itself is a good one well written… the sex parts… that’s what make me hesitate in my scoring of this book…. I was expecting some steam… not something that steamy. It’s not bad written, not vulgar (or I would have hated it) but Drusus was a little too domineering in my opinion and it could have been less described… I mean for example at the end I would have wanted more info about those coming on earth for example instead of 2 chapters of steamy.. I understand which result they wanted to reach but I think the author could have it done differently.

Don’t take me wrong I want to read the next one ( I mean when you learn about Severus in this one you have to see him shackled^^;;)  but I do hope that even if the steam level stay the same that the focus on the story will be more developed.( now i was told i could simply skip the steamy parts and enjoy the story fully so be ready for the rest of the series in review soon^^)

As I said raking this one is hard...for the story it could be a 4 stars even 4 and half as I loved it  … but the other side… I can’t give more than 3 as it written because I could read it but it was not to my taste so… a 3and half seems right…

If you want some terribly sexy aliens, if you love alpha domineering and if you are in need of a sexy, steamy story this is the perfect one for you if you are above 18! If you are not shy and want to discover the beginning of a series that can be quite promising this is also one for you. If you prefer sweet romance… then yes you should avoid Drusus or at least skip the steamy parts to focus on the story only .

Finding my Faith (Six Saviors 2) by Carly Fall

Hello to all,


               A new month has started and it started on a really positive note for me....i was asking to review a book i wanted to ( Thank you Carly!!) and i LOVED it!, i finished it in matter of hours so i had time for another one that i enjoyed as much, i also put some order on my shelves but on that side i'm only at the beginning ^^.

So i'm really happy and i didn't want to make you wait so today i'm sharing with you my opinion on "Finding My Faith" book 2 in the six saviors series by Carly Fall. If you rememeber i shared my opinion on the first book "The Light Within Me " earlier this year for the monthly topic " alien" in paranormal romance. I enjoyed it and wanted more and i got my wish granted....believe me i don't regret  at all!! I've become addicted to this series.

 Now let see what i thought of it in more details:

Short description from goodreads :

 Growing up in a small Northern Arizona town, Faith Cloudfoot’s life was spent playing in the forests surrounding her house under the protective eyes of her father, and learning about the legends of her Native American heritage. Yearning for more out of her life, she moves to Phoenix, Arizona at the age of twenty-three where she is kidnapped and almost killed.

Rayner has a special ability, one that weighs on him like a curse. He can see spirits trapped in between life and their final resting place. Because he can’t do much to help them, he studiously ignores them. He concentrates, instead, on working with his fellow warriors to right the wrongs caused by the evil criminals from his home planet.

When Rayner sees Faith in her spirit form while investigating a lead in Phoenix, his attraction to her is immediate, yet he follows his own personal code and ignores her cry for attention. When he realizes that she may be a stepping stone to getting him home to his own universe, he engages Faith and begins to use her as a means to an end: going home.


As the attraction grows stronger, Rayner finds himself breaking all sorts of self-set rules, as well as the code of ethics set by him and his fellow warriors. When Faith nears death, Rayner realizes that he must do everything in his power to save her, because if he doesn’t, he may just lose himself.

My opinion:

          LOVE it! It was finished in almost 2hours so that said how strongly I was immersed in the story and enjoying it… after reading book one “the light within me” I did have a soft spot for Rayner and learning more about was simply too good.

Rayner was quite a bitter character with only his job in mind… from all the warriors he is the one who wish to return to SR 44 the most and he does works for it even if he means flying somewhere else on mission (and he hate flying) In fact, he is one that suffer the most in my opinion, his power sound like a curse for him: being able to see and speak to spirits trapped but not being able to help them has taken his toll on him. In fact he only succeeded once and thus he tried to ignore them. It’s really the opposite as how he was before.. as a child he was carefree, living in the forest, respecting the nature and spirits  with his loving family. Rayner wanted some adventures so he left his forest for the city where he met Cohen and Hudson, fellow warriors, and decided to enrol in the military to see the world.

However he did promise his mother to come back and that what is keeping him strong and determined… he wants to go back and get once again the warm feeling to belong.

I could only smile at how similar it was to Faith growing up…she too lived in the nature with a loving family but took pleasure in exploring, taking risks and in the end by leaving for the city where her life took a drastic turn. The difference between them….Faith hasn’t lost herself yet, she still dreams, hopes and laughs while Rayner forgot it. Both understand the spiritual world and respect it despites some doubts sometimes, like Faith who doesn’t believe how special she is and the prophecy she is supposed to accomplish.

They are simply perfect for each other and I enjoyed how they had to discover it and then had to make it works, faith really needed her inner strength to makes Rayner understand and see what was under his eyes. I also loved her parents how insightful they were, how open while still protective. They are some really steamy scenes yes but deeper feelings and emotions are predominant in this one.

While the action and romance are there, some humour too,  in my opinion it was also more profound, the author make me think and feel things  in the character’s perspectives and I was completely hooked and they grew on me. It also means that I was even more angry at the villain.

The author closes the story on a happy note, the characters have their happy end, but this being a series we know it can be temporary, but the investigations isn’t complete, yes faith is saved but the culprit, even simply his motives are not sure for our heroes…and that the only reason this book don’t get the maximum score….i don’t like when the bad ones go off easily, the more evil they are the more I want them to suffer.. I think I’ve become really addicted to this series at this point and next book will not be in my hands soon enough.

If you want an excellent paranormal romance with a some deepen meanings fitting in the main storyline, a book that can work as a stand alone , but you wouldn’t want to miss book 1, then try  Finding my Faith and the Six saviors series… it’s a must read!

Score:  4,5/5

Alien Diplomacy (Katherine "kitty" Katt 5) by Gini Koch

Hello to all,

           While waiting for my results and thus for a solution to my medical troubles, i decided to read some authors i discovered last year and came to really love. One of those is Gini Koch, each of her book made me laugh, or at least smile, so far so i needed to continue the series and it was also perfect for the challenge of this month : " romance including aliens". I wasn't disappointed at all and i'm glad to have the next book ready when i need a little humour boost.

So here is my opinion on book 5 in the Katherine " Kitty Katt series called " Alien Diplomacy", not my favourite cover but the story is a good as before and book 7 has been released a few days ago so if you haven't started the series yet, you are really missing something.

 Happy Reading

Short description from goodreads :

 Being newlyweds and new parents is challenging enough. But Jeff and Kitty Martini are also giving up their roles as super-being exterminators and Commanders in Centaurion Division while mastering the political landscape as the new heads of Centaurion's Diplomatic Corps. Enter a shadowy assassination plot and a new set of anti-alien conspirators, and nothing will ever be the same..

My opinion:

          Gini Koch really knows how to catch my interest and not letting go. Alien Diplomacy was funny, inventive and it’s probably only because I’m starting to know her mind that I could guess several parts but not the main one so even with high suspicions I couldn’t stop reading… in fact reading this one just made me want to reread all the first one and it saying a lot since I don’t reread to closely because I remember too well but in this case even a reread doesn’t loose it’s savour.

Kitty has lost her sparks and singular mind  which is causing her some distress now that she must act with diplomacy and can’t rush in the action… or can’t she^^;; try to reign your nature and it comes back in gallop and we love our Kitty as she is after all^.^. I was glad to see that she wasn’t the only one having problem to adjust quite the opposite and that even if they picked the ones to be put at their ex posts. It takes some time to understand than you can make a difference at any place you are as long as you do your best.

To find Kyle and Len once again was too great, I really enjoyed those. As often, our team will have its hands full between threats, assassinations attempts and sadly political meetings ^^. It will be up to kitty to do what she does best: finding unlikely allies and enter the minds of the bad guys to guess who is who….even if Washington DC make that even more difficult. Thankfully she is not alone and Jeff and the poofs ( I really want one) as well as the whole team is backing her up like always.

 This is really one of my favourite series and I’m so glad I won’t need to wait too long before reading next one^^. If you want a fun reads, with action and romance but really a lot of humour despite the tension try this series but in order because you really can’t miss anything it’s too good!

Score:  4/5

Short description from goodread :

 Starting over sucks.

When we moved to West Virginia right before my senior year, I’d pretty much resigned myself to thick accents, dodgy internet access, and a whole lot of boring…. until I spotted my hot neighbor, with his looming height and eerie green eyes. Things were looking up.

And then he opened his mouth.

Daemon is infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy. We do not get along. At all. But when a stranger attacks me and Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand, well, something…unexpected happens.

The hot alien living next door marks me.

You heard me. Alien. Turns out Daemon and his sister have a galaxy of enemies wanting to steal their abilities, and Daemon’s touch has me lit up like the Vegas Strip. The only way I’m getting out of this alive is by sticking close to Daemon until my alien mojo fades.

If I don’t kill him first, that is.

My opinion:

          Jennifer L. Armentrout really knows how to attract the reader in her universe. Her writing style is really easy and captivating and which blogger couldn’t sympathize with Katy. I’m too new to this so I’m not as addicted as her yet. If I post a review later that what I expected I don’t feel bad but for the joy when a package with books arrive that I could see myself doing the same. It makes her so believable and thus we could hope to find our Daemon somewhere too.

I can really identify myself with this heroine, like her I’m a too good girl, I don’t go out, don’t drink, don’t smoke  and are more mature than I should have been and still be. And it’s also true that make us stand out from the mass. We are solitary not because we aren’t loyal it’s the complete opposite. We have some difficulties to open ourselves because when we do we do it completely. And a book is a better company than some so I understand why her mother think that she should go out more  for example, mine is trying to say the same but I don’t like that ( now if I had an handsome alien to take me out  it would be different I’m sure)

So it’s a believable heroine and I’m sure a lot of reader will feel connected to her and the tragedy with her father makes her even more vulnerable but Jennifer managed to make this very real, the psychology of Katy is really well constructed.

The romance is there but we can see that it’s building and I love that. Daemon can be arrogant but he is honourable.The book is really well balanced between action and romance, descriptions.  The plot is interesting and while there isn’t a cliffhanger at all ( oufff) you still need and want more. Fortunately the next book will be out soon and there is also a new edition with several bonus added ( I will have it^^;;) and a announcement: Jennifer has signed a new contract for the more books in this series so it will be at least 5books in total. No date or title yet for these but we will be waiting

Alien Proliferation ( Katherine « Kitty » Katt Book 4 ) by Gini Koch

          last day of April already.So for the last time during the science-fiction romance month we will meet Kitty and co in Alien Proliferation, book 4 of the series written by Gini Koch.

Enjoy!

Short description from goodread :

 Alien Super-Being Exterminator Kitty Katt is expecting her first baby. But the alien attacks are getting more dangerous, and now Kitty and her Alpha Centaurion husband, Jeff, have to find out who's behind the conspiracy to kill Kitty's secret agent mom and what caused Kitty's transformation into a superhuman-and they've got to do it all before the baby shower...

My opinion:

          I don’t know why I keep to be afraid before starting a book of this series, Gini Koch is a prolific author yes but she doesn’t put the quality at the second plan quite the opposite ( thanks also to her support team ).

Kitty and Jeff have a baby girl and with such parents, we can imagine how she is and will be. But, this isn’t a sappy romance, how could it be when kitty is involved? Even just after giving birth she is confronted to new super megalomaniac and big scheme to control the world but it’s a new Kitty that will face these hardships with her friends and the poofs’ help ( I still want one by the way ^^,,)

The plot is deeper than before and we discover that the A-c can be very, very naïve sometimes and that they can be very happy to have kitty and her family and Chuckie on their side. The story is also deeper, while there are still the witty banter, the humour, the full action package, the romance and all; there was also some very deep emotional part and I couldn’t stop being moved by it, nearly crying. Now, don’t be afraid Gini Koch didn’t change her writing style and the book didn’t become dark and sad, not at all but in this one more that the other for me she used emotional leverage so the transition instilled in this book could move properly in the next one.

Kitty is discovering more reasons to protect the A-C like she is, it’s not only because she love an Alien or because now her baby is a target too. No, she is starting to understand to what end and by what means some can go to achieve their dream of conquest, power and domination. Yes she has read some in comics but in real life, it hurts a lot more. She knows what is at risk and what has to be done. She also discovers how good her team is.

New characters are introduced, like in each book, and she keep the recruitment going at a high rate and we love that. We can see Christopher at a deeper level too. He is more fragile and you could have thought and Chuckie isn’t as lost as we could have expected. Serene is more secondary but will perhaps have a bigger role in the next book being in the team and respected.

So really a great addition to the series and like Gini announced in several interview, the main focus of book 5 will change and how the characters adapt to it. It could be very funny and I can’t wait to see how Kitty will learn to keep her cool and be diplomatic while still being so honest with tongue lashing.

Alien in the Family ( Katherine « Kitty » Katt Book3 ) by Gini Koch

Hello again,

                    Like i told you in my last post, i will now post a review about a book from a series i really love now the problem was which one to choose the next one in the I Marshal Stories or one by Gini Koch...hard choice really since there are all in my favorite. Finally, i've decided to go on Kitty Katt book 3 why? Simply so i won't post book 4 directly following book3. So Today we continue with the great series written by Gini Koch

Short description from goodread :

 Super-Being Exterminator Kitty Katt and the Alpha Centaurian she loves, Jeff Martini, should be finalizing their wedding plans. But that was before she discovers Jeff is in line to become Emperor back on his home world. Kitty knows she is everything a royal family wouldn't approve of, and is bracing herself for the worst. As it turns out, the royal family is just the beginning. Especially when extraterrestrial Amazonian terrorists are determined to start and end Kitty and Jeff's nuptial festivities with a bang.

My opinion:

          Each book is bigger than the last and still I hadn’t enough. Gini Koch’s writing is really a pearl, we are immersed in the story without any difficulty and we are part of the team one way or another.

The only part I loved a bit less is the numerous characters , it’s a wedding so even distant relatives are there and believe me if Kitty is feeling overwhelmed and lost, I was the same while trying to remember who is who. It was also fun because I think all the characters were in the same disposition.

We have the pleasure also to discover new kind of aliens, all from the system of Centauri and not all friendly but they are great in their own way and Kitty will discover one soulmate.  ( another one yes but not what you think^^;;;) oh and let’s not forget I WANT A POOF. So great, so cute  so arg… I want one as you will too but they are rare so not easy to get but perhaps I could ask Christopher?

But, more aliens means also more troubles and CIA on the way and that’s a promise for at least verbal fight. Thankfully Kitty can still see the bigger picture and do what is needed to save the day…while trying to keep up with the preparation of her marriage.

We could have thought Gini was going to give them a break but the ending is full of promises so the next book will certainly is as filled with action, romance and humour or perhaps we will discover a new side of kitty. Who Knows?

Alien Tango ( Katherine « Kitty » Katt book 2) by Gini Koch

Hello again,

                       For this month i've decided to post review about a novella and just after another about a book from i science-fiction series that i've discovered. Today i will present you the second book in the Katherine "Kitty" Katt Series " Alien Tango" written by Gini Koch

Enjoy!

Short description from goodread :

 It's been five months since marketing manager Katherine "Kitty" Katt started working with the aliens from Alpha Centauri, and she and Jeff Martini are getting closer. But when an experimental spacecraft is mysteriously returned to the Kennedy Space Center, Kitty and the rest of her team are called in to investigate. Now the team must survive murderous attacks, remove a space entity from a group of astronauts, and avoid an unhinged woman with a serious crush on Kitty's high school boyfriend. And that's all before evil masterminds decide Kitty's extermination is vital.

My opinion:

          I admit at first I was a bit afraid, the first book was so great how could the second one be as good…it’s not. This second book is even better than the first one. Full of action, romance, suspense and humour everything is there and so well written. It’s really a good book when your mood is a bit down or when you are tired because chapter after chapter I just went better and better with a huge smile.

In this book we finally meet Chuckie, Kitty best friend and also Jeff’s parents or all family in fact. Those situations are hilarious. Kitty can have a really great intuition but she has none concerning her love life  or the diplomacy she could need because she understand Jeff’s father and mother but still she keep a big mouth even exhausted. Sometimes, things have to be said and she is very honest about her thoughts that for sure.  Now I admit I still have a problem how Jeff “read” her thought while not being telepathe but empathy however I guess that’s all interpretation and psychology after all his life he get some experience at least.

I was really fond of ACE, proof that Centaurions made a lot of errors in the past but can also do great. So powerful but lonely and sad, difficult not to like him on the spot. He will do great so I hope we will see more about him. Also Kevin is a great agent liaison even if he is married ( or perhaps thanks to that fact^^;;)

Kitty is the same as always but we also see a more sensitive side of her. Claudia is so funny, I could easily picture her with the heavy rocket launcher. Jeff is a bit more jealous but this book give us a lot of informations about what his life was and thus we understand his insecurities better. I loved that part of the story

I think I won’t be able to wait before reading the next one even if part of me would like to slow down because once I will be on the last one I will have to wait at least 6month before the new publication because we get only two books a year…what a dilemma
