This was cute, albeit a little too short for me to truly get invested. If it had been longer, we could have had that depth that would have made this story be absolutely lovely. It had the potential to be great, but it was still nice the way it was now.
It’s a sci-fi love story with the arranged marriage trope, and I really d the premise.

Emvor is a gruff alien living a lonely life on his farm, not really having anyone to keep him company. He doesn’t think many people will be attracted to him due to the ugly scars that run all over his body and face after his time in the war. Thus, he decides to find a wife through an agency in hopes of finding a partner that can help him on the farm.
When his new ‘wife’ arrives he finds out he has been deceived, as instead of a fellow-alien, a fragile and dainty human has arrived! Nicola isn’t what Emvor expected, and he doesn’t think he will have any use for someone so weak. Nonetheless, he does not want to send Nicola back either, as he knows a terrible fate will await her then. Instead, he promises to find her another husband in their small-town village, someone who doesn’t need help on the farm and can afford to keep her.
However, as time goes on, Emvor discovers Nicola is everything he never knew he wanted. Her cooking, her smiles, her charming demeaner, her delicate frame, her sweet personality; he loves it all! But will he be able to keep her when she’s not what he asked for?

As days pass, it becomes harder and harder to ignore her presence. Nicola’s a burst of sunshine that’s come into my life, and her smile warms me every time I see it. Turns out the cute little dent in her cheek is called a dimple, and I live for its appearance. There’s nothing that makes my day better than seeing Nicola grin so wide that she dimples up. She’s been smiling a lot more lately, too, and most of them are directed at me. Makes my heart ache fiercely.

These two were genuinely adorable together. Their gentle, domestic vibe was so sweet, and I loved how they both appreciated each other so much. They were both very kind, and their relationship was honestly just cute.

I was pleasantly surprised with this short, cute, sexy read! I honestly only picked up this book because it is #1 in the Mail-Order Bride series that is being shared between four different authors. One of those authors is Alexa Riley whom I already really ...but being that her book is the third in the series; and I'm bit OCD when it comes to reading books in order...well, I just had to pick this one up! I'm not a huge fan of alien romances; but I will say that Ruby Dixon created a very sweet and cute story that I actually quite enjoyed! Of course I expected that the books are all going to be short; but it was a nice quirky story to get me through my day!

I look forward to the next three books, to see what the other authors have in store for our mail-order brides! Don't ask me why...but I have always had a weak spot for this type of romance story!!!
I am glad these four authors got together again, to create four more short stories!!! They are all the same ones that did the Princess series a few months back!!contemporary-romance erotic-romance kindle-own ...more44 s Mei1,884 453

This short novella is really sweet!
The universe is still the same: BBBs, Icehome and this novella are all connected - the males are all from the same species! Big, blue, horned and with a tail! LOL

Emvor is a marshmallow - under a tough exterior there's a softy!

Nicole was also very sweet: she's accepted her lot and is not bitter about anything. She accepts Emvor as he is - she sees the good in him without prejudice about his scars.

Emvor is the one who's biased. Humans are soft and weak. What's he to do with such a wife?

But, the heart is not ruled by reason!

A very sweet story. There's no angst, OW problems. Just two people who gets to know each other and fall in love!sf39 s Sonia1,057 1,400
