Who Would Like This Book:

If you're in the mood for a unique mix of sci-fi and western romance, you’ll love this! Alien cowboys, mail-order brides from Earth, and adorable fish-out-of-water moments make for a swoony, feel-good ride. The humor is spot-on, the world-building is creative (alien ranches, tails used for more than you’d expect!), and the main couples are genuinely lovable with misunderstandings, fierce loyalty, and goofy innocence. Anyone hunting for lighthearted escapism, slow-burn romance, and a fun cast of characters will find a new favorite series here.

Who May Not Like This Book:

Some readers prefer their romance leads to have less romantic or intimate history, especially when matched with inexperience on the hero’s side, and that might be a sticking point here. If you dislike stories with casual past relationships, or if you want more angst or deeper drama instead of sweet, low-stress storytelling, this series may not totally win you over.

Adorable alien cowboys + strong human heroines = the ultimate comfort read! It’s sweet, funny, and packed with all the warm fuzzies. Perfect for a feel-good binge or refreshing your reading palate.

From The Publisher:

A quiet alien cowboy, a human woman on the run, and one very messy marriage of convenience. What could possibly go wrong?

In debt and on the run from a crime lord whose nose I may or may not have broken, I take the first ticket off-world that comes my way. It's an all-expenses-paid, one-way trip to an isolated ranching outpost.

The only catch?

I have to marry an alien cowboy.

My plan is simple enough. Shack up with my groom Silar and convince him to keep me during the first month of our marriage. As long as he doesn't decide to send me packing after the thirty-day trial period, I'll be safe.

But maybe my plan isn't so great after all. Silar talks more to his animals than he does to me, seems perplexed by every wifely duty I try to perform for him, and goes to offensively great lengths to avoid touching me.

Other than his eyes glowing bright white every time he looks at me, I have no idea what's going on in my new husband's head. Meanwhile, he shows me in subtle, wordless ways just how good a man he can be when he thinks that no one's watching.

Yup. My plan officially sucks. Because now, it's not just my life at risk if Silar sends me away after thirty days...

It's my stupid human heart.

Welcome to the cowboy colony planet, where men outnumber women ten to one and cattle outnumber them all...

So good! I always enjoy any book this author puts out. They are one of two authors that I will immediately download and read without ever looking at the summary because I know I will enjoy the story and love the characters. I just wish her stories were longer sometimes because I’m never ready for them to end. Her books always get me out of a book slump without fail! Silar is so sweet and cute with his misunderstandings and how much he cares for Cherry from the beginning. I fell in love with these characters and can’t want to read more about the others. I’m very curious about Oaken and Fallon seems so adorable and I can’t wait to see how he and Darcy handle each other.
