How about a little off-world world building on planet Dirt, no, Mud! Oh wait – Earth! That’s right, this is a romance about heroes from outer space that come to Earth to find brides and have a little trouble remembering what we call things around here. But that’s not the only trouble in store for the hapless hero looking to find a female to call his own. There’s a mix-up, there are secrets that must be kept, there’s an unexpected villain and a stubborn heroine. It’s a concept that has been done before, but Ms. Jade added her own unique spin making this quite the entertaining read.
I liked the hero, Sin. He possesses amazing willpower when it comes to respecting Zoe’s moratorium against her becoming his mate. A reader knows just how much he really would like her to change her mind but she’s adamant that it’s a no-go. What the heroine did not count on was their amazing sexual chemistry. What Sin didn’t expect was the effect that amazing chemistry had on his body. Something has to give and the outside conflict certainly played a role in shaking things up.
It’s been a long while since I’ve read a sci-fi romance and I think it’s because of the very thing I encountered in this book – the strange names given to objects and people. I realize that with sci-fi an author can really create their own worlds and rules within that world building however there is a challenge to keep a reader invested in the people of the story without getting lost in the ‘special effects’. For the most part Ms. Jade does a solid job at accomplishing that, but every now and again the unfamiliarity threw me out of the story. Good thing Zoe and Sin are so fascinating – their budding romance drew me right back in.
Another reason to like a sci-fi romance is the inventive and intriguing ways having sex with an alien can come about. They’re not like us and those differences pose all kinds of delicious opportunities. What happens to Sin truly made me grin.
Secondary characters are Zoe’s sister in law and a couple of Sin’s crew members, Honey and Ivan. I like Honey a lot because of his sassy dialogue. I think all of their personalities contributed to the robustness of the tale.
Alpha Star sure was interesting. The happy ever after was as romantic as I could wish and I was so happy when Zoe finally came to her senses. As far as I’m concerned, I’ll blame her reticence on that fateful brick. For fans of sci-fi romance, I’d say give Alpha Star a shot. I did and I enjoyed it.
