About the Book

What’s a girl to do when her cat dies and a plague wipes out most of the male population? Why, she marries an alien, of course!

Amara is a party girl with a boring day job, on the search for meaning in her life. When she applies to the Galactic Matching Program looking for an alien husband of her own, she’s paired with Roth’kar, a four-armed Karthinian with adorable antennae. Four arms may present problems when it comes to buying new clothes, but Amara’s excited to find out what else her new husband can do with them.

Roth’kar was raised in poverty on a ship in deep space, scrounging for enough to live. His plan to escape? The Matching Program, where all he has to do is please a human bride for thirty days to earn full residency on Earth, and then he’ll be free to do as he pleases. Though the planet is overrun with strange, dangerous animals—spiders, disgusting!—Roth’kar is thrilled to finally feel the sun on his face.

But he didn’t expect his new wife to be sweet and thoughtful, teaching him the value of kissing, the thrill of clubbing, and the simple joy of a walk in the park. As Roth’kar falls for Amara, will his plans change?

This is a sweet and spicy rom-com (with a little bit of angst) about a strong and silent alien seeking a new life, and the fun, earnest human woman who just wants someone to love. You can expect weird peen, lots of steam, cultural confusion and a heartfelt HEA.

Review

Surprisingly, this was very delightful and charming. Any issues that I have had with this story are minor or long forgotten. I’m pretty sure that I smiled the entire way through. Roth’kar and Amara were great. After losing her cat, Amara was lonely and impulsively signed up for an alien husband. She wasn’t quite sure what to expect; however, she followed through and maintained her soft heart. Roth’kar grew up in poverty, which led him to sign up for the matching program. I have to say that Roth’kar might have been my favorite. Not only was he utterly adorable, but I also enjoyed seeing him experience a new planet and learn from Amara. He was also willing to learn and make things simpler for Amara.

I wouldn’t necessarily call this book plot-heavy. For the most part, it certainly is “vibe”. I am certainly not complaining. The vibes were great and helped develop Amara and Roth’kar’s relationship.

Final Thoughts

So I Married an Alien understands what most expect from a rom-com. It’s a feel-good book with a charming and endearing relationship between the main characters.
