"Her Stepbrothers Are Aliens" by Trinity Blacio (aka Maria MoonStar)

Author's Book Description : Lea Clark was so happy when her Mom finally found the man of her dreams. She thought that not having to worry about her mom any more would take a load off of her shoulders, but she got so much more than she ever imagined when she married into this family!

Not only had her mother married an alien from another planet, but her stepfather was from a family of warriors to boot.

Did she mention that her stepfather had, not one, but two hot sexy warrior sons? And that her so-called stepbrothers claimed she was their mate as well?

Talk about keeping it in the family!

My Book Review : 2.5 out of 5 stars. Lea's mother recently married her forth husband, but even she can see that this matchup is ideal since he seems to treasure her mom with all her quirks. The only oddity is .... her new stepfather is an alien. Yet even though Lea has dealt with the surprise of it all very comely, it's the new shock of her "stepbrothers" announcing she is their mate that throws her for a loop, especially with all the sudden changes that being their mate entails.

Intense and dynamic, with this novella plan to expect the unexpected! While I liked the characters very much I had a hard time keeping up with its plot. Because of its novella length it felt like the plot’s information was rushed at times and it was building up to a book series that I’m not sure will ever surface. With that being said, I liked how we got to read from all the main characters POVs (Lea, Gunner, & Rogue). In addition, I enjoyed how their mating played out.

I recommend this novella to those who are fans of Ms. Blacio and/or those looking for dynamic sci-fi erotic romance.

"Couldn't there be a mistake?"
The warrior, Gunner, came over and sat next to her on the bed. "No there is no mistake. When one of us is in close proximity to our mate there is a change in both parties. May I?" He asked, and nodded to her hand.
She frowned but nodded, placing her hand into his. He turned it over and traced a small rectangle shaped mark on her wrist.
"Well damn! When did that happen?" she said, glancing at he wrist.
"Most likely on Friday. Your mark is in a place I don't believe you would want to see right now?" Gunner glanced down to his crotch. ~ within Chapter 2

"A Prince of a Guy" [Korbel Classic Romance Humorous Series, Book 3] by Kathleen Korbel (aka Eileen Dreyer)

Author's Book Description : When New Yorker Casey Phillips visits the tiny country of Moritania, she simply wants to see where her ancestors came from. Instead, she’s mistaken for a princess.

The real princess has been kidnapped, and Crown Prince Eric von Lieberhaven insists Casey—a dead ringer for the missing royal—step into the princess’s shoes until she can be freed.

As Casey upends royal tradition, Eric finds himself hoping the cheeky American never returns home. But can a secretary from Brooklyn really find happiness with a prince?

My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars, while on an European vacation a woman decides to visit the small country that her great-great-grandfather was said to have come from and finds herself embroiled in the country's royal secrets very quickly. All because of her looks and one charming Prince who can't seem to let her go.

This novel definitely interested me in the beginning. You have a charming Prince (Eric) who has no intention of wanting the crown. An outspoken New Yorker (Casey/Cassandra) who is beautiful in her own right but also looks a bit like the Crown Princess (and basically has the same name) helps the Prince to pull off a scheme while falling for the Prince in the process. Together these two make a very cute couple and I enjoyed how Casey literally steps into the Princess' shoes.

However, what through me a few times about this novel was that Casey & Eric are basically related (as they find the mystery of Casey's background ... they find that they're distant cousins). Then Eric falling for his niece's doppelganger (looks-wise at least) is a little weird too. So, if you can completely get over that than I think you will enjoy this novel very much!

What made me like this novel even more than I had originally was how it all wrapped up in the end. The Crown Princess seems to be a bit of a nutcase. Yet, Casey's heroism and Eric's deviousness make the ending quite exciting and fun!

I DO recommend this novel to those looking for an entertaining contemporary "Prince & the Pauper"-esque romance!

"Desire to Fall"
[Alien Science Fiction Series, Book 1] by Shona Husk
Author's Book Description :

ebook ISBN: 9781682520130

Kya Hawl is an architect on the Precinct One redevelopment, a prestigious and contentious project in the city-state of Velli. While she is happy with her part-time female lover, Judge Elmi Chadee, she wants more. She wants a family and children, for that she needs two men willing to put their life on the line to breed.

Tref Xant and his partner Dru Macon seem like the right guys; however, Tref has secrets and Dru is about to deploy to Precinct One, one of the roughest precincts in Velli. The redevelopment can’t come soon enough. Tref would like to see the placed burned to the ground. But even that wouldn’t be able to erase his memories of growing up there.

With Dru away Tref finds himself falling for Kya. Jealousy sparks between the men. A triad can never form as Dru wants Elmi and she has sworn off unions after her sister ran away to join the Terrin Sect.

As riots erupt and the redevelopment is threatened Dru realizes he has to fight for what he wants–something Tref learned long time ago. A four-way union–while unusual–would work. But will the women agree when they learn of Tref’s past?

Book Excerpt :

“So where is she?” Dru leaned against the bar. When he’d looked up the place, he’d known the location was a test to see how high they could get on midlevel. He was also expecting Kya to be here already, probably up above watching them. He let his gaze drift.

“Er…not sure yet. There are so many people. Do you think she comes here often?”

“No.” Dru sipped his drink. If he was meeting people for the first time, he wouldn’t be inviting them to his local. But many people weren’t as careful as him. “Maybe.” He shrugged. “Only one way to find out.”

Tref scanned the aerial bar and lowered his gaze just as quickly. “She’s wearing a pink dress, and with a dark-haired woman in a suit.”

“The two who just landed?” Dru couldn’t help the curve of his lips as Tref drew in a sharp breath. He’d never seen Tref get so flustered by a woman. It was a real pity Dru was leaving tomorrow. He’d like to watch this interaction play out a little longer.

Kya folded her wings after landing neatly in the clear drop zone from the aerial bar. Her friend followed. Where Kya was golden, like the Huntress made mortal, her friend was pale-skinned and with dark hair. As she turned, Dru sucked in a breath.

He leaned closer to Tref. “Her friend is Judge Elmi Chadee.”

“What?”

Dru lowered his voice. “Judge Chadee was on that case last year. If Kya moves in those circles, you’re reaching too high.”

“She’s an architect.”

“With connections.” Judge Chadee probably had a rooftop suite in a private precinct. Coming here was no doubt her idea of slumming it. How did Kya know the judge? How well did she know the judge? While he’d been looking forward to meeting Kya, now he was wary.

Tref shrugged. “She agreed to a drink. Besides, if I’d stayed at my level…” He gave Dru a knowing look and then turned away.

Tref had a point, but women didn’t descend for anyone. They picked and chose, and men who wanted to risk life to be with them had to lift themselves to be noticed. But even then, because Dru didn’t have wings, he could only go so high before the fear of falling took over. And he wanted a triad, with children—something he was still trying to convince Tref was a good idea.

This was the first time Tref had done the introduction for a potential partner. Maybe the idea was becoming more appealing, and he simply needed a little more time to come around. Dru sipped his drink and watched as Elmi and Kya walked over. They touched and leaned in close to share a whispered comment—probably about Tref and him. They were obviously close, lovers since they weren’t married. Neither of the women had earrings.

Tref greeted Kya with a brief brush of the back of his hand. It was impossible not to notice the gleam of attraction in Kya’s eyes. When Tref turned to introduce him, it was mirrored in his eyes. Dru smiled even though he had the sinking feeling Tref was going to get burned by the sun for trying to fly.
