Title: Close Encounters of the Sexy Kind:
An In the Stars Romance Authors: Abbie Zanders & Jessie Lane Genre: SciFi Romance Release Date: April 17, 2018
Blurb:
Destiny’s not just for Earthlings… Detective Ryan Winslet is a by-the-book kind of girl. The one and only time she allowed her personal feelings to cloud her judgement, the results were devastating. Now she’s getting a chance to make things right, but a certain sexy nightclub owner is muddying the waters. Tiberius Maximus isn’t the first Aequorian prince to be exiled to Earth. Like his ancestors, he came, he saw, and he conquered. He’s vanquished his enemies, gained a fiercely loyal family, and runs an incredibly successful nightclub that might push a few legal human boundaries. The only thing he doesn’t have is the life mate he so desperately craves – until a salty blonde saunters into his club one night. When the no-nonsense detective meets the exiled prince, their chemistry is off the intergalactic charts. Tiberius is convinced she’s the one for him, but Ryan’s not taking the bait. Sure, he’s über hot and seems like a great catch, but he’s also involved in some fishy business and thinks he’s from another planet. Should she follow her head and throw him back? Or follow her instincts… and her heart… and jump into the deep end?

Excerpt:
Tiberius sat back and sipped his drink, content to observe. It was amusing to watch the females compete for Donny’s attention. They flirted openly, made lewd suggestions, and sometimes even managed to grope him when he got too close. None of them realized, apparently, that Donny was in a happy, committed relationship with Jay. Donny’s flirtatious behavior was nothing more than his natural, outgoing joie de vivre. The eager females would receive nothing more than a friendly smile and excellent service in exchange for their generous tips, for it was only Jay he sought out at the end of every shift. Tiberius was in the process of raising the glass to his lips when a voice cut through the din and rang like a crystal bell in his head. “Thanks, but no thanks. And just so you know, I’m a cop and she’s my best friend. If you so much as hurt her feelings, I will be back here, and not for a social call, get me?” The voice set his nerves and loins tingling. He scanned the crowd, searching for the source. “Everyone should have such fierce friends. She is in good hands with me, I assure you.” That was from Quintus. “She’d better be.” Tiberius stood, his heart thundering in his chest, his mind whirring at tornadic speed. There!He spotted Quintus first, tall and dark, his head bobbing above the majority of shorter humans as he moved away. And there, where he had been, a golden-haired female swathed in blue. As if drawn by an unseen force, he moved toward her. A fierce, possessive need washed over him. He needed to get her away from the lascivious interests of the worked-up crowd. Never before had he had such an instant and all-consuming reaction to the mere sight of a woman, in this realm or any other. Dare he hope that his prayers had been answered? The odds were astronomical, yet his soul cared not. Neither chance nor logic entered into the equation. If the gods had decided to bless him with a mate, then they would also ensure their paths crossed at a location and timing of their choosing. Why not here? Why not now? He stopped only a short distance away. She was looking in the other direction. He took a moment to rake his eyes over her. Loose waves of golden silk cascaded over curves that made his mouth water. She was smaller than he had originally thought, barely reaching his neck, even in heels. As if sensing his presence, she turned. Big, blue-green eyes, the perfect color of an Aequorian sea, widened as her gaze rose upward. He couldn’t help feeling pleased when her skin flushed a lovely shade of pink and her lips parted slightly. With his superior senses, he could hear her heart speed up and feel the heat radiating from her body. “Oh,” she said. Oh, indeed. They stared at each other for a long moment, until the spell was broken when an overexuberant patron plowed into her back, pushing her forward, right into Tiberius’s waiting arms. Energy coursed through his body, firing every nerve and lighting him up from the inside out. “I’m so sorry,” she said, righting herself. He wasn’t. It took every ounce of discipline he possessed not to pull her right back into his embrace. When another surge of the crowd threatened, he placed his hand on her lower back and firmly but gently guided her out of harm’s way. “May I purchase a beverage for you?” She blinked then shook her head slightly as if to clear it. “Thank you, but no. I was just leaving.” Leaving? No, he couldn’t allow that. Not until he knew more about her and this inexplicable pull she seemed to have on him. “Unacceptable.” “Why unacceptable?” “Because I have only just found you.” “Does that line usually work?” “I do not know. You are the first woman to whom I have spoken those words.” Her eyes softened, then she cleared her throat. “Oh, you’re good.” He grinned. “Does that mean it is working?” She laughed, the sound filling his chest with light. “Kind of, yeah. But I really was just leaving. This”—she waved her hand around her—“isn’t really for me.” “Then perhaps you will allow me to suggest a quieter venue, one where we may talk and get to know each other. There is a small eatery just down the street. I have been told it is quite good.” She considered him for a moment then nodded. “Yeah, okay. Why not?” Copyright © 2017-2018 Abbie Zanders & Jessie Lane. All rights reserved.
Review:
I got into alien books recently. Some were addicting and funny, some were DNF (way too outrageous), and some will be/are rereads. Out of all of them, this one was the best with subtle humor on the language barriers, especially with slang. Ryan was a strong female character. You would hope so since she was also a detective. However, she was also an old-fashioned woman with old-fashion ideals—knights in shining armor were what she was looking for in a man. Tiberius—I really like his name—was a prince from a far away planet, close to a knight in shining armor. His introduction to earth was funny yet full of drama, which set the stage for what he would become on earth. I really loved how, though he was labeled a bad guy by law enforcement, he really wasn’t. Him and his friend did the best they could with the circumstances given to them and attempted to help people at all costs. It really makes you see the shades of grey in a black and white world. I hope Abbie makes this into a series. It was fun, sexy, funny, and highly entertaining.
5 Stars

Excerpt:
“You were jealous, Prairie.” X’s voice rumbled deliciously from the widest chest I’d ever seen. “What?” I huffed. “Not.” Smug sexy alien stud. A grin tipped up one corner of his mouth. Without another word, he began to undress, and I was once again treated to the insane sight of his incredibly muscled body. He stopped with the lacings of his pants coming undone, revealing the root of his impressively thick cock. He ducked his head, licking across my lips before delving inside. I trembled with awareness of him, my hands roaming to the ropey sinews of his shoulders. Before I even knew it, he’d completely disrobed me, leaving me in only the humungo necklace and nipples so tight I thought I’d come if he so much as touched them. He set my hands on the lacings of his leathers, watching with a hungry smile as my fingers pulled them open one by one. My heart pounded harder. My pussy got wetter and wetter. The peaks of my breasts rubbed against the heated glossy skin of his chest. Tugging the pants down, down, down, my breath caught in my throat at the feast of flesh presented in front of me. Our skin still gleamed from the earlier oil treatment, and I stood quivering in front of him. “Now we fuck.” His voice came out like sexual thunder, sending a bolt of dirty desire zinging desperately through me. My belly clenched, but when he picked me up and tossed me onto the bed, I held up my hands. “Holy horse cock, alien boy!” I stared at the lewd length kicking up from his groin, veins pulsing all over, the big domed head pushing out one drop of liquid after another. “Seriously though, is that thing really for real? Or is it just another hologram?” “You touched my cock earlier. Did it feel real?” He wrapped a massive fist around the base jutting from his body and stroked all the long way up to the tip. Involuntarily, my thighs spread, and I felt myself dripping all over the bedding. His eyes—gleaming nearly fluorescent green—latched onto the sight of my pussy, and his lips curled off his teeth, nostrils flaring. I writhed at the primal sight of him as he crawled up between my legs, pushing them wider and wider apart with his sheer size. As soon as his cockhead touched my labia, sizzling heat rippled through my body, but my hands rose again to push at his chest. “Uh unh. On second thought you can’t fuck me with that thing. No way will it fit.” “Then tonight I will stretch you.”

A Star Called Home
by Marina Landry Genre: SciFi Romance 198 pages
Jul Kisling's heart aches for the homeless children living beyond her office window. Her father, Chancellor of the Third Quadrant of Akila, refuses to use his power to help them. Frightened but determined, Jul secretly searches for transportation to bring some of the children to a newly-colonized planet.
Marc Prejean is an out-of-work, out-of-money Earth starpilot living on the land of his Cajun ancestors. Wrongfully convicted of smuggling and recently released from forcedsleep, he reluctantly agrees to Jul's proposition. His desperate situation, the betrayal of his wife and brother, the loss of his starpilot license, and his stolen six years have left Marc angry and withdrawn. Marc and Jul begin a journey of agonizing mistrust, smoldering sexual desire, and the shared goal of safeguarding the twelve children. Pursued by ruthless adversaries on both sides of the law, they soon realize they are delivering the children into even greater danger.
Excerpt:
Hearing her voice break as her sadness eclipsed her anger, the wave of her compassion flew straight into him. He looked around at the small, dirty faces, remembered their quiet ways. Now he understood why they didn't act like other children. "But why are you taking them to Orum?" He knew it was a mistake as soon as the words left his mouth. She seemed to curl inside herself, her eyes darkened with wariness, her fingers clutching the bedsilks at each side of her. "No need to tell me anything you don't want," he said roughly. "I promised you no questions, and I still mean it. It's none of my business." Gradually, she relaxed her grip on the silks. "I understand you must be curious. Just, please, don't ask me that, again. I'm sorry." The regret in her voice prevented Marc from being offended, but she obviously didn't trust him. Well, he didn't know what was going on, but he knew one thing: no child was going hungry on his ship. "I'll need some help carrying everything." "I'll help, Stackit." Marc turned to see a tall, lanky teen-age boy. At least, he was pretty certain it was a boy under the nondescript clothes and chin-length ropes of hair. Did he say help stack it? Stack what? "I'm Sev. Moldest. They trust me. Make me myth you to marry the mood." The words coming out of this boy's mouth seemed like they should make sense, but they just didn't. Was this some kind of Akilan dialect? Marc turned to the professor again. "The others will trust Sev to carry their food. He's right. You should take him with you." So she'd understood what he'd said. Why did he talk that way? What did trust have to do with carrying food? Marc was struggling to make some sense of it when he felt a tug on his sleeve. He looked down at a husky child with a plascord for suspenders. He was chubby in comparison to most of the others who were much too thin. The boy thrust his round chin up and said rapidly, "I'm Brad. I wanna help." Marc could see the eager gleam in the dark eyes, and the pink tongue darting out to wet his lips. This boy was very hungry. Dammit, he should have offered to feed them the night before. "Come with me," Marc ordered, his jaw tight in frustration. "You, too, Sev." He stormed back to the bridge. When he looked back, Sev was talking quietly to a very agitated Brad, still in the corridor. Clearly, the younger boy wanted desperately to find the food, but he didn't trust Marc. "Brad, come here." The boy shook his head and squirmed away from Sev's hand on his shoulder. "I can mandolin myself, Stackit," Sev offered. Stack it again? In a flash, Marc got it. Pile it. Pilot. Okay, he'd solved one convoluted puzzle. Now, what to do about Brad? He was making the boy more afraid and withdrawn the more he insisted. "Sev, you and I cannot manage all of this food by ourselves. We need someone else to come tell the computer which kinds of food to make. I'm thinking someone like Brad would be the best. What do you think?" Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Brad walk back toward Sev. The teenager cleverly did not look at the younger boy as he took a step forward and said, "Brad would be best, but we might mask one of the mothers." Quickly, Brad grabbed Sev's hand and tugged him forward. Marc sighed. This was exhausting. Talking to these kids was like navigating blue crab traps. How did she do it? He looked further down the hall and his chest tightened. Jul Kisling was gaping at him. Marc guessed the criminal low-life was exhibiting more humanity than she expected from "his people." He walked stiffly to the panel next to the right rear portal where the computer sent the food from the automated galley. "Belle, send up six servings of each: number two, oatmeal bars; number ten, pork strips; number eleven, beef strips; every type of fruit we have." Marc slammed the depression to open the wall panel, retrieved several containers, and handed them to Sev and Brad. Sev loped back to the cabins balancing boxes and pouches in his arms. Brad seemed frozen to the floor. Grace, what now? He remembered the raw hunger he'd seen in the boy's face. "Brad, I need you to go sit down and try some of this here food. Tell me which kind tastes the best." The boy folded himself to the floor and started eating. He kept his eyes on Marc, obviously expecting the food to be taken away at any moment. Marc turned his back to Brad and ordered juice, crystal water, and soy drinks. Sev rushed back with that jerky lope Marc was gradually getting used to. The young man was grinning widely, and Marc found himself grinning in return. He handed him another armload of food containers and pouches of drinks. The next time Sev returned empty-handed, Brad stood next to him with his grubby arms reaching to help. Marc handed the young boy several drink pouches. Once they'd had their fill, he swore, he was talking to that woman about why she let them stay so filthy. When Sev and Brad went through the portal with the final loads of food and drink, they closed it behind them. Marc had never noticed how uncomfortably silent the main cabin could be.
