Book Description
Can I resist my grouchy orc boss?
Desperate to escape the clutches of the alien lizard mafia, I accept a spur-of-the-moment job offer on a distant planet. A monstrous, grumpy alien is building a new home in a distant colony, and he’s looking for an assistant.
He needs me to hold his hammer. I get it. It’s a big hammer.
He's a lonely barbarian brute with a gruff exterior, but I soon learn that inside he's hiding a squishy center. When he unexpectedly enters his mating frenzy, there’s no one around to handle the job . . . except me. He gives me two options—return home or stay and help him with a whole different kind of nailing . . .
Pick up this spicy story where a grouchy orc meets his fated mate in a smart-mouthed Earthling who gives it back as fast as he deals it out!
Nailing the Alien is Book 1 in the Beastly Alien Boss Series. Each features a brutish alien who can’t resist falling for his fated mate.
My Review
Cora goes to the intergalactic job agency to get away from the lizard mafia that thinks she owes them money that her cousin actually owes. She takes a job helping an orc do some construction in a town. Cora is just hoping to be away from Earth long enough for the lizards to forget her so she can go back but Kreel is interesting and after a while Cora starts feeling things for the big alien.
He wants to send her back immediately because she's female but she refuses to go so he lets her stay and starts to get used to her. She is sunshine to his grumpy nature and the people in town come to like her a lot because she's more friendly than he is. Slowly Kreel starts to warm up to her, taking social cues from her in order to get along better with the people in town.
When Cora ignites Kreel's mating frenzy, he thinks there's no way she will want to stay with him and help him through it, so he gives her a choice, go back to Earth or stay and help him, which means have sex with him. He's astounded that she chooses to stay with him but I'm glad she did because he really didn't know what he was going to do if she left.
The humor in this book made me laugh on more than one occasion. Kreel didn't know what to do with Cora and her antics. She said things that he didn't understand but these two lonely souls were so good for each other. Each of them really needed someone in their lives. They were so good for each other.
The ending was great, and I plan on reading more of this series.
I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.
