When a Man Loves an Alien

Tentacular Tales, Book 3

By: Chloe Archer

Narrated by: Greg Boudreaux

A grumpy-sexy alien and his (mostly) human mate are just trying to get married for goodness sake! But the road to matrimony is riddled with obstacles that could prove deadly...

RIVER

Being engaged to my adorable alien boo is a dream come true. Too bad there’s a target painted on my back. Come on universe, quit messing with true love! For reals. Kai and I need to plan our wedding—which is going to be hella quirky and fun, because I say so.

Cue Shilgar the Deadly, who’s screwing up everything—what with trying to kill me and all. My life is becoming even more unbelievable than my fictional characters, Lord Vardox and Captain Starblade.

There’s no way I’m not walking down the aisle with Kai, so help me! I fully intend to ‘get me to the church’—I mean Vegas wedding chapel—on time. This fool of an assassin thinks he can mess with my dreams of wedded bliss? I don’t think so. He’s about to learn he’s met his match in River Sullivan!

KAI

My relationship with River is solid and wedding bells are in the air. Unfortunately, other parts of my life are…less stable. Between juggling a highly inconvenient Mating Fever that can strike at any time, and dealing with an investigator from Intergalactic Alliance Headquarters, I’m finding it hard to hold onto my usual equilibrium.

When Shilgar the Deadly finally shows up on Earth, gunning for River, the control I cling to is stretched razor thin. I’m desperate to do whatever I can to keep my mate safe—but I’m not sure if I can.

Yet things aren’t all that they seem. New secrets come to light and we’re all left reeling. Apparently, that famous Earthling playwright was correct when he wrote, “the course of true love never did run smooth….”

When a Man Loves an Alien (Tentacular Tales #3) is a (100k words) M/M sci-fi rom com and the third book in the series. It should be listened to in chronological order. This installment features an assassin who just won’t quit, little old ladies at slot machines who should NOT be messed with, a zipline action-hero moment, shocking secrets and revelations, a death-defying climax, and just maybe…a zany Vegas wedding? This book has an HFN ending and no cheating. Never fear—there is a guaranteed HEA by the end of the series!

ᒪOᐯᗴᗪ!!

Fantastic narration on a thoroughly enjoyable story!!

𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘢 𝘔𝘢𝘯 𝘓𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯 𝘈𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘯 is as brilliantly tentacular as the first two in the series.

So freaking funny!!!

Ugh I love this series!!! I can’t wait for book 4. I need to know what’s with this mating ritual!!

Seriously though… this story is so unique and an original take on dealing with issues currently in society today. Such a fun story with all the sci fi nerd bombs!!!

Greg Boudreaux shines as River and Kai

So freaking fun! And cute! I love this series. These books always put a smile on my face. River is just such a little spitfire. And serious Kai just gets all smoopy for him regardless of what crazy thing River is doing. Greg Boudreaux's narration brings this series to life in such a perfect way. You can feel River's choatic energy in his voice! And his tone for Kai is just perfect too.

All the side characters are just as likable. I mean, I am DYING for Mal and Benji's story. And Zamir and Wilder. And of course Evan and Zion. And you know what I'm now even dying for Aiden and the sweet pink guy whose name starts with O. (His name is way too hard for me to spell right from memory.)

I hope this series continues for a long while because I'd seriously read it forever. It's like Xanax as a book. My mood is instantly lifted. And the tentacles are hot AF too ;)

Tentacular!

They just keep getting better, and the narrator nails it again. Wonderfully written characters, ridiculous dialog, and I audibly gasped at a big reveal. Can't wait for the next installment, and crossing fingers that a particular couple finally get a clue and get together.

River & Kai

You can never go wrong with a Greg Boudreaux narration. He can be completely serious, and then be completely wacky with his work. Chloe Archer has released another amazing book about Kia and River, and Greg just took it to the next level. Fun plot, with serious moments thrown in, and great character development.

I would highly recommend this series, it’s absolutely hilarious and the audiobook just elevates it.

River ~ Kai

River and Kai are preparing for the human version of their wedding all while trying to keep River safe from the assassin that is coming to earth to collect on the contract his mother's people have on his head.

River and Kai can not catch a break. While everything seems to be falling into place around them for everyone else, they keep hitting roadblocks, in the way of River's life being in constant danger. There is a huge OMG moment and I can not wait to see what happens going forward.

Another great addition to this series which I just can not get enough of and can not wait for the next part of River and Kai's journey.

🎙️ Greg Boudreaux with another amazing performance and bringing all of the characters and the story to life.

Leaves you waiting to the next book……

Excellent narration as always!

Exciting and fast moving. Toward the end there’s a whole section from Rivers’ perspective, and just as you want to see what happens next, they go to Kai’s perspective to catch up to where River is in the story and it was frustrating as you just wanted to see what happened next!

Also the entire story leaves you wanting to find out about the union ceremony and expecting you will find out at the end of the book….bit you don’t which is super annoying!!!! But clever because now we are left wanting more…

aaaaahhh

I need the next book!!!! So excited for their development. Oh and NEED more on the uncle's relationship with Mel 😆 please please please

2 thumbs up

Love the story, the narration is spectacular and over all a funny story. Cant wait to hear more of the story.

Kai and River!

I’ve loved this series from the start and this next addition didn’t disappoint at all. I loved it to much! I laughed so many times and got some looks from people. Loved the little snippets at the start of each chapter it makes the world and characters feel more real. Kai and River are trying to get ready for their human wedding but there’s still the assassin to deal with. And of course figure out how people found out about River. I loved seeing it from both Kai and River’s PoVs but there were a few times I was anxious to get back to River because of what was going on. Also we get to meet some characters that I wanted to smack and hug. I also can’t wait to see the alien bonding with all the hints at this ceremony. I can’t wait for the next book! As always go team A.N.A.L and I can’t wait to see what else is going to happen with these series and what fun aliens we will meet. We also find out more about the evil and what their plans are.
