The Alien Christmas Rescue by Alina Riley

 

Book Description

When my ship crashes into the mountains, I crash into the arms of a very handsome silver alien guy.

I was hurrying home for Christmas, but the storm destroyed all my plans. When I wake up to the hulky silver guy, maybe the storm isn't the worst thing ever. Yet, I'm here, away from everything I'm used to and... they don't celebrate the holiday at all...

Between the cold in the mountains and the storm that threatens to kill me, am I safe? Is there warmth for me?

My Review

Hannah is on her way home right before Christmas when the ship she's flying crashes in the snow. Orcoi is a big, silver alien and comes to her rescue. When he finds her, he feels a pull towards her and takes her home as is their custom, until the snow storm lessens and he can get her to the hospital to be checked out and he can write up his report of the rescue. 

But where this could have been a great Christmas type romance ends when Hannah wakes up and pretty much sexually assaults him within moments of realizing she crashed and was saved. Her attitude towards him was completely too pushy, too whiney and her language was much too crass to be romantic or even erotic. There was a lot of sexual content but I don't usually mind that if it fits with a good story, this was just sex. I felt no real connection between them and her pushiness was over the top. 

Once she got to the hospital to be checked out even she questions how she's been acting and wants to know if there's something wrong with her brain or a concussion. I was hoping the author would throw in something about mating pheromones or something like that to explain Hannah's attitude and actions but there was nothing of the sort. I real missed opportunity in my opinion, because that would have explained a lot and I might have forgiven her actions if that was the case. 

I liked Orcoi except for the fact that he went a long with sleeping with Hannah moments after she wakes up after having just crashed her ship which was a total loss of her ship. Why didn't he think that was strange on her part or think maybe she had a concussion and wasn't acting right? It was weird and a strange way to make them get together. Everything happened too fast and I just didn't feel a real connection between them. 

I give this book 2 out of 5 stars.
