She plans to move to the big city for a fresh start. The universe, a.k.a. the hot tailed alien who abducts her, has other plans.
Emilia has the next steps in her life all planned out. Just one more tedious work shift and this small town waitress will be getting in her car and driving to greener pastures. Then the hottest guy she has even seen sits at the bar and offers her the ride of a lifetime. Yeah, like she hasn’t heard that pick-up line before. His big blue eyes, messy black hair, and roguish dimple won't fool her. She’s been burned by a handsome devil once already, so no, thank you.
Only that Mr. Too Cute to Be True doesn’t take no for an answer.
Dargus, clad in an itchy human disguise, is on a time-sensitive mission of galactic proportions. Emilia is the one who can help him and his fluffy six-legged partner complete it. At least, he thinks so. It’s not like he has worked with a female from the planet Terra before. Or with any female, for that matter. But Emilia's tail-stopping gaze, enticing scent, and delectable curves indicate she is perfect for the job. Now, if only the feisty Terran could forgive him for getting her on board… literally.
Turns out Emilia will be going for a ride after all. Just not in a car.
Riding His Spaceship is a science fiction romance novel featuring a feisty ginger waitress, a sweet alien guy with a soft spot for anything orange, and his toe-licking fur baby. Hop on an adventure-rich spaceship ride filled with steamy moments, blaster action, and a hearty dose of humor on the way to the guaranteed HEA. For mature readers only. For CWs, please refer to the author's website.

review

Riding His Spaceship by Marian Pattechat was a successful Stuff Your Kindle event grab! I saw the cover and wasn’t convinced, but the summary sold me and I’m glad it did! This was a cute and fun alien romance that has definitely put this author on my radar.

There’s plot apart from the romance, but it is fairly standard and straight forward – especially for the alien romance genre. Considering I went into this expecting something light and fluffy, I was more than okay with that! If I’m going into a book for the romance, I don’t need wildly crazy and intricate plots. Intergalactic people smuggling ring is a tried and true standard conflict that doesn’t require much, if any, thought, letting the romance shine.

The romance was sweet. Dargus is a bit of a doofus. He isn’t suave and doesn’t know what he’s doing, but by God, he tries his best. He’s a complete nerd who tries to flirt by the literal book. He’s conflicted, self-deprecating, and absolutely in love with Emilia, who wants absolutely nothing to do with him. In fact, all Emilia wants is to go back home. She was a fun and vibrant foil to Dargus. She had no idea what she was doing, but by God, she was going to wing it full steam ahead. They worked really well together, as both crime fighting partners and romantic lovers.

Considering this is only $3 to buy (at time of this review,) or free on Kindle Unlimited, I definitely think Riding His Spaceship by Marian Pattechat is a fun and enjoyable read. If you’re in the mood for a palette cleanser or something quick and easy to read that will leave you feeling sweet, definitely give this a chance!
