Strange Love
Strange Love | Ann Aguirre
He's awkward. He's adorable. He's alien as hell.
Zylar of Kith Balak is a four-time loser in the annual Choosing. If he fails to find a nest guardian this time, he'll lose his chance to have a mate for all time. Desperation drives him to try a matching service but due to a freak solar flare and a severely malfunctioning ship AI, things go way off course. This 'human being' is not the Tiralan match he was looking for.
She's frazzled. She's fierce. She's from St. Louis.
Beryl Bowman's mother always said she'd never get married. She should have added a rider about the husband being human. Who would have ever thought that working at the Sunshine Angel daycare center would offer such interstellar prestige? She doesn't know what the hell's going on, but a new life awaits on Barath Colony, where she can have any alien bachelor she wants.
They agree to join the Choosing together, but love is about to get seriously strange.

Why not do some random bookish This or That? I should be asleep, but I'm forever battling my nocturnal nature 🌌🦉
Currently reading Shapes of Native Nonfiction but should be reading Strange Love because I have a book club meeting to discuss it in 18 hours and am only 20% of the way through. I'm counting on the winning combination of hoopla audiobook and discounted Kindle ebook to get me through in time. 👽 🙏🏻

Who knew you could get all the feels/warm and fuzzies from a very strange, accidental alien abduction, sci-fi romance? Yes the premise is odd. If you are looking for a unique comfort read and love cinnamon rolls, this is a great pick! 5⭐️

Maybe getting flowers for Valentines Day isn‘t a surprise for some ... but when they come from your local grocery store with a thank you for being a customer on a sub zero freezing day... you bet we were surprised!
It‘s a pandemic and nice things still happen. 😊
Strange Love was a surprise too. It‘s a romance, it‘s science fiction, it‘s erotic, it‘s laugh out loud funny. 😆 Having a talking dog as a character was genius. 👍

CarolynM I loved it❤️ Weird and wonderful. 4y
Bette @CarolynM I really liked it too. It was really strange but it worked. Are you going to read the next one? I think Love Code follows the AI unit. 🤔 4y
CarolynM Sci-Fi is so not my thing that I'm a bit wary of trying another, but I think I will some time🙂 4y

So here's one I never would have read if I hadnt done a Google search for "beta male romance novel" and came across a glowing review... it was surprisingly good?! Like considering the hero is an insectoid alien, it was a genuinely heartfelt love story with strong communication. I liked it! #romantsy #TBRDeckofCards @Clwojick

Clwojick ♥️♥️♥️ Way to go!! 4y

Because I'm slightly obsessed with Alexis Hall I follow him on GR. I was intrigued by his review of this one. Male alien (basically a giant insect) unintentionally kidnaps human girl, mistaking her for his otherworldly penpal/girlfriend. So begins a bonkers sci-fi/erotic romance/dystopian #GenreBusting romp. I'm not into sci-fi or dystopia, but it was a winner for me on the romance front. And, as Alexis says, the alien sex is A+😂

LeahBergen A+ Alien Sex! 😂 4y
CarolynM @LeahBergen Bet you never thought you'd use that phrase!😂 4y
Cathythoughts 😂😂🤣 4y
Centique Whoa! This is a must read then! 4y
CarolynM @Centique I don't know about must read but it was certainly entertaining😉 4y

I cannot gush about this book enough. An alien romance where they physically do not match and have to build that emotional bond first? Then they have to work to figure out sexy times? These two characters are amazing and I cannot gush enough about Zylar and how wonderful he is. Also, there is a talking dog that is perfection. Just read this book and tell everyone you know to read this. I need more books like this in my life. #romantsy

SW-T This was a fun read. I‘m excited for Love Code, book 2 of the series. 5y
TsundokuAleax @SW-T That one is kinda being released in the author's newsletter if you want to check it out. Not sure if it is some or all the book. But I also understand waiting for all of it at once. Last chapter was a bit if a cliffhanger and I am mad about waiting. 5y
SW-T @TsundokuAleax She‘s releasing it in the newsletter a couple chapters at a time. I decided to wait for the finished book. And yes, waiting sucks.... 5y

Everything with a 📌 was finished in the last couple weeks. Some of them took a while to get through. 🙄 Of the finished books, my favorite was the tagged. Light-hearted, sweet, funny, spicy, suspenseful, and fun. Talking dogs, aliens, and yes, romance. If you need a pure escape read, this is a good one.

On to my books in progress. 😊

I loved this book - I can see this being a regular re-read! Aliens, a talking dog, and on-going explicit consent AND a plot that kept me on the edge of my seat.
As with all good books, I didn‘t want it to end where it did - I want to read on! 5/5

I started this book last night. I'm really enjoying it. Aguirre has written the most adorable, odd alien romance. #currentlyreading #alienromance
