My rating: 4 Stars
I adored this novel!
Married to the Alien Cowboy follows Cherry as she runs from loan sharks on her home planet and Silar as he's signed up for a mail-order bride through the convict colony that he lives in. I absolutely loved both of them, they are both so clueless about each other and it had me giggling and kicking my feet. I loved that Cherry did not go into the arrangement looking for love but found it so easily with Silar. Maybe it's because I don't read a lot of Sci-Fi but I liked the world building of this planet and another that Cherry visited. It's a good thing that this series has almost 8 books in it because I want more immediately.
Synopsis:
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.
Oh, this sounds good. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the rest of the series if you pick it up.
ReplyDeleteI have read the second book since writing this review and I loved it just as much as this one.
