All I Want for Christmas is Tentacles

By: Chloe Archer

Narrated by: Greg Boudreaux

Seasons greetings and alien abductions!

Khephren: There’s no way in Helgar's Nebula I’m marrying the candidate my parents have chosen for me. I don’t want to be the house-husband of some stoic warrior who only cares about training all day. Boring! Thankfully, I’ve learned a thing or two from all those rom-com human movies I’ve illegally downloaded off the intergalactic web. No one will see it coming when I pull a runaway groom maneuver on them!

Once I make my escape, I can go on the solo honeymoon of my dreams—to planet Earth. It’s almost that wondrous time of year when they celebrate their holiday known as “Christmas.” Human Hallmark movies make it seem so magical. I want to experience it for myself! Now, I just need to find a human who can make my wish come true and help me have an authentic holly jolly time…

Sasha: Scrooge was right when he said “bah humbug” to Christmas. This time of year sucks balls, and not the fun kind. I’ve just lost my crappy part-time job and I’m slowly sinking under a sea of student loan debt and crushed dreams.

Just when I think my life couldn’t possibly get any worse, my cat and I are abducted by an alien who wants me to help him experience a "real human Christmas" on his ship. WTF? Clearly he’s chosen the worst possible candidate for the job.

But there’s something about Khephren’s enthusiasm and eternal optimism that starts to melt even my grumpy, cynical heart. Heck, I even agree to be his fake fiancé to get his parents off his back! I don’t know what’s happening to me, but Khephren’s charm is making me feel things I never have before. And those bright pink tentacles of his are strangely fascinating. I can’t help but wonder what all they can do…

As we spend more time together, I start to realize I might not want to go home and that maybe, just maybe, I’ve found what I’ve always been looking for. Could Khephren feel the same? If so, it would be a Christmas miracle and I don’t believe in those…right?

Tentacles Love.

Khephren kidnaps Sasha because he wants an human Christmas experience. Sadly Sasha doesn’t hand any Christmas spirit due to how he was treated by his family when he came out. Kephren and Sasha are adorable together. I love them and Khephren’s tentacle friends.

Greg has done an awesome job narrating this story. I loved it!

Cute Tentacle Christmas Story

I love Chloe Archer’s tentacular tales series! This cute Christmas book in the series was just what I needed! Kef was just the cinnamon roll man, alien, to bring back grumpy Sasha’s Christmas series! Greg did an amazing job narrating as always! I will definitely be reading this book again, especially during the holiday season.

Tentacles for the win!

I was super excited to listen this book, Tentaclar tales books where so awesome, I listened to them all multiple times. This new spin off was just as good. Can't wait for more in this newest series!

"He feels so right to me --like he should be mine

As usual, Greg Boudreaux does a fantastic job narrating this tentacular romance! I enjoyed his voices for each character and felt they fit. The book was an adorable grumpy/sunshine pairing. I just loved the holiday smoopyness. Khephren was absolutely precious. His enthusiasm for life was infectious. Even the surly human Sasha couldn't resist! It was the cutest thing ever seeing these two dance around their feelings for one another. Even Khephren's two best friends could tell they were head over heels for one another.

Sasha may have started their space adventure being abducted from his life on Earth, but it soon becomes apparent it wasn't much of a life at all. On board the Sleigh Belle he slowly discovers how different his life could be. He could have friends who become family and he could have the love of the absolute sweetest alien in the galaxy.

The scene where Sasha and River get to meet via space video is amazing. I knew right away those two would get on like a house on fire. No shame, the both of them. It would be so fun if we could see more of them interacting in a future Tentacular Tales book. I bet River would love Khephren too. Like Sasha realizes, it's truly impossible not to fall in love with that pink tentacled alien.

Another tentacular tale. Not just for Christmas.

Funny and enjoyable read. I’ve read all Chloe Archer’s tentacle tales and have enjoyed and reread/relistwbws to them all. Of course, Greg Boudreaux is brilliant.
