About this listen

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!

River never ceases to amaze me how he gets out of predicaments easier than he gets in them all with the laugh out loud moments you come to expect from this series . I am sitting waiting patiently for book 4 or maybe not so patiently is more like it I might have to read it then listen later .

I need book 4

I thoroughly enjoy Greg Boudreaux's narration, and this book was no exception. There is clear continuity from the previous books and even with the addition of several new characters, it was easy to know who was speaking.
River and Kai are adorable together. Kai is struggling with the fact that there is an assassin after River. It makes him feel powerless. His vulnerability is sweet and not entirely true. He shows his skills.
They are in an established, but whirlwind, relationship and take the next step in this book, which I loved. It just works for them.
The plot is fast paced, with a couple of surprises which kept me hooked.
After all the teasing, we'll finally find out about this ceremony!
I'm hoping Benji's book isn't too far off.

A lot of fun

I read this book with my eyes back in May of 2023 and I loved it but I couldn't wait for it to come out as an audiobook because Greg Boudreaux's performance of the first two totally blew me away.

I absolutely love all of the Star Trek references that this author uses in her books and there were plenty of them in this one. River is an absolute hoot of a character and his interactions with all of the many different characters in this story are so engaging.

This story grabbed me from page one and didn’t let go until I finished it. So many things happened in this book. There’s a mystery concerning why a former Alliance member defected and became one of the bad guys. An assassin is after River and they won’t give up which keeps River and all of his Alliance friends on their toes. We find out that River has a secret ability. And there is so much suspense surrounding the attacks on River – I was on pins and needles much of the time while reading this one. There was also a major surprise that I never saw coming and I’m afraid if I say anything more it would be too much of a spoiler.

While the first two books had cliffhanger endings book three wrapped up a lot of things that were started in the previous books. River and Kai’s story isn’t over yet however, so I’d call the ending of book three a soft cliffhanger. It definitely left me wanting to read more but not exactly dying for the next one, so I will wait patiently for the author to finish the next book.

A complimentary copy of this audiobook was provided to me at my request; my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author and/or narrator.

I love this series!
