About this listen

Would you marry an alien to save the life of a family member?

Maya Arnold was leading an ordinary life, working a boring job, helping care for her sick sister, and watching too much TV with her mom on the old couch. Then the aliens arrived.

Offering a cure for cancer in exchange for women willing to volunteer as brides, the Cerasteans dangle the one carrot Maya cannot resist: a way to save her sister. Follow Maya as she joins the Bride Program and finds adventure, friendship, and love.

Commander D’Avii and the surviving Cerastean males have been searching the galaxy for a new home since the mysterious destruction of their planet. Finding Earth and its women was a miracle.

Like most Cerasteans, Commander D'Avii finds humans to be fascinating creatures - none more so than bride volunteer Maya. His attraction to her is instant and intense. Still he knows Maya can never choose him, a warrior, with so many higher-caste scientists seeking their own mates. To do so would shame the scientists and tear the last of his people apart, yet he aches at the loss of something he never even had.

This was a great quick read! I had been in a book funk after finishing a dark series and this was the perfect pick-me-up! A solid introduction to the series with teases at other couples to come. Narrator did a great job doing the different POVs and was easy to listen to. Will definitely be listening to more in this series!

Quick and fun!

No angst, slight feels and a touch of humour. This was just what I needed. A great book to step away from reality. The story and characters are well developed, but what I liked best was knowing that all the secondary characters were building in the background. I can't wait for what they have in store. Can't fault the narration. Easy to listen to and follow.

A short and sweet story

I loved listening to Verla Bond,

Maya volunteers for the bride program, to save her sister from cancer.
She sees and catches the eyes of a gorgeous warrior D'Avii . Both are attracted to each other. This is a beautiful love story with a little bit of naughty. I loved listening.

Enjoyable

Want a cinnamon roll sweetheart instead of a non-verbal alpha caveman? Want a main female character with personality who makes friends with other women and goes after the man (alien) she wants? Want a sweet romance with minimal stress, no triggers and no creep factor- but with a healthy side of spice? This book has it all! Highly recommend!

Great little romance that will make you smile

This book was very enjoyable. The characters are sweet and likeable. The storyline was good, not too complex. A fantastic performance from Verla.
