Kade

Alien Adoption Agency #2

by Tasha Black

She’s the target of an intergalactic bounty hunt. If he wants to protect her, first he'll have to capture her heart.

Aurora Day is running from a crime she didn’t commit – or at least, she didn’t mean to commit. But the intergalactic soldiers on the hunt for the woman known as the Fox don’t care about the details. Hiding out on the remote frontier moon of Clotho is her only hope for survival. But to gain access, she has to adopt an alien baby. Aurora is shocked when she learns that a dragon warrior of the Invicta is part of the package.

Kade knows two things about Aurora. The bright-eyed Terran is going to be the mother of the child he has pledged to guard and grown to love. And the mysterious woman is fated to be his mate. But Aurora has no interest in his love, and she doesn’t even seem to be that interested in adorable baby Lyra. She’s clearly hiding some secrets, and Kade is determined to unearth them before his dragon’s wild lust for her burns them both alive.

When Kade runs afoul of the local law enforcement, only Aurora can save him. The perfect life she’s dared to dream of is almost in her grasp, and now it’s all about to come crashing down around her. Will she stand her ground and fight for her new family? Or will the Fox keep running for freedom?

In this story we get to follow Kade and Aurora‘s journey as they navigate parenthood. She is a wanted rebel and he is a dragon warrior of the Invictus, an unlikely pair but they just work. Aurora is Kade’s mate but he doesn’t want to overwhelm her and all of the new changes in her life so he doesn’t explain that to her. They are both proud people and when they witness injustices going on on their new home moon of Clotho they have to speak up and with speaking up comes consequences. Will Aurora be able to defend the merchants of Clotho while trying to fly under the radar? Will Kade finally admit to Aurora she is his mate before he loses her? Great addition to the series and I can’t wait for book 3!!

Kade, Aurora, and Lyra began their journey, Aurora was so worried, being parted from her friends she wasn't confident about hiding her secret plus her signature red hair could give her away. Kade had a secret too! Aurora was his mate and he already loved Lyra. Can he keep them together

Wow totally a phenomenal book getting ready to read #3...

[Natalie · Rating 3 out of 5]

the book was actually pretty okay if you ignore the fact that he’s an alien
aurora had a nice arc (ark?) from misunderstood wanted fugitive to sheriff!!! i liked it

and her name? aurora? i love it
AND THE BABIES NAME?! LYRA?! love it!!!
and i like that his dragon-ness and the whole mate business wasn’t huge and central to the plot this time around… nobody was “claimed” (😭) until the end!

Kade de Tasha Black Serie Alien Adoption Agency libro 2

Argumento:

Ella es el objetivo de una caza de un caza recompensas intergaláctico. Pero él va a capturar su corazón.

Aurora Day huye de un crimen que no cometió, o al menos, que no quiso cometer. Pero a los soldados intergalácticos que buscan a la mujer conocida como Zorro no les importan los detalles. Esconderse en la remota luna fronteriza de Clotho es su única esperanza de supervivencia. Pero para acceder, tiene que adoptar un bebé extraterrestre. Aurora se sorprende cuando se entera de que un guerrero dragón de Invicta es parte del paquete.

Kade sabe dos cosas sobre Aurora. La terrana de ojos brillantes va a ser la madre del niño que se ha comprometido a cuidar y que ha llegado a amar. Y la misteriosa mujer está destinada a ser su compañera. Pero Aurora no tiene ningún interés en su amor, y ni siquiera parece estar tan interesada en la adorable bebé Lyra.

Claramente está escondiendo algunos secretos, y Kade está decidido a desenterrarlos antes de que la salvaje lujuria de su dragón por ella los queme a ambos vivos.

Cuando Kade entra en conflicto con la policía local, solo Aurora puede salvarlo.

La vida perfecta con la que se atrevió a soñar está casi a su alcance, y ahora todo está a punto de derrumbarse a su alrededor. ¿Se mantendrá firme y luchará por su nueva familia? ¿O el Zorro seguirá corriendo por la libertad?

Si te gustan las mujeres fuertes, los alienígenas guapos, las aventuras salvajes, las escenas sensuales y llenas de calor y los felices para siempre, ¡entonces te encantará el mundo de Stargazer!





Mí humilde opinión:

Al igual que el libro anterior hay un mix que lo hace entretenido, aventura, peligros, pasión, persecución y por supuesto un adorable bebé.

El mundo está bien, con personajes agradables y detallitos interesantes que te hace sentir en otro planeta.

Kade y Aurora hacían una linda dupla. Me gustó que hubiera comunicación entre ellos desde el comienzo. Me encantó que enseguida sin darse cuenta actuaban como una pequeña familia.

Lo que me va gustando más que nada hasta ahora son las heroínas de la serie, inteligentes, leales, decididas y con mucho coraje. Al igual que Luna, Aurora es genial, todo lo que hizo a lo largo del libro fue valiente. Kade era un guerrero fuerte cambiante de dragón pero ella está a la par para salvar el día.

Sigue habiendo cosas que no me cierran, vacíos y algunas preguntas en el libro. Primero que nada, ya que conecta con el libro anterior, me confunden los tiempos, no sé exactamente cuánto pasó desde que Aurora y Luna se fueron por su lado luego de entregarles los bebés. El encuentro de ellas intercambiando ropa? Me dio la sensación que para una pasó más días sin verse que para la otra.

Y no estaba la gente de las cuevas parando temporalmente allí en el pueblo? Debería y no se mencionó.

El momento cuando Kade reclama a Aurora fue un deja vu, es casi exactamente la misma escena de sexo que el libro anterior! Esto me decepcionó ya que esperaba algo diferente.

Este es el segundo libro de la serie Alien Adoption Agency, al igual que el anterior, es una lectura rápida y fácil de leer, dulce y ligera.

Un bocadillo para el momento.

Who doesn’t love an outlaw
This author continues to amaze me with her imagination and the detail she is able to weave into her stories as well as the characters. I really enjoyed this book and the way these two manage to pair up when everything is all said and done. All of the danger and excitement made this a super-fast read that kept me on the edge of my seat until the HEA. This book fit perfectly with the first book and I can’t wait to see what the author brings us in book three.

Book two of this adoption series was a fun, fast read. Aurora is hiding from her past on a frontier planet. Accompanied by the handsome Kade, she has taken on the duty of raising an alien orphan. The storyline is a partial continuation of the first book as in the purpose for her arriving on the planet is to raise the adopted child. The timeline of the book is interwoven with the previous book, but from Aurora and Kade's perspective. The story moves quickly. The chemistry is undeniable and the plot is well written. I love the plot twist at the end with some of the secondary characters. I especially love the heroine as she is not weak, but heroic and strong.

If you like sci-fi romance this is a worthwhile read.

[Lynn Stifle · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a quick and fun read. I loved Kade and Aurora’s chemistry and banter. It’s a story filled with drama, action, adventure, chemistry, and romance. The characters are well written, the storyline was entertaining , and the characters were perfect for each other. A great story and I can’t wait for the next book in this series.

[Tree Abbott · Rating 5 out of 5]

Insightful

Our alpha alien is so angry with the human woman and at the same time so urgent to claim her that the edges of his emotions 'bled together',
Kade features a real plot; it isn't just or even mostly an excuse for frenzied sexual romps.
An intergalactic terrorist must find her maternal heart, a small baby must work baby magic on two adults, an all plastic gun must be made, and breadwinner and meal-maker roles established.

For those who like their alphas panty melting (but not a**holes), or their gals feisty and curvaceous (and full of agency), you won't be disappointed

This is the second book in the Alien Adoption Agency series but the first that I have read. I am a huge Tasha Black fan and am so thrilled that I was able to read this one. She always does such an amazing job of world building that I feel ass though I could reach out and touch the places and things she describes.

With a huge bounty on her head (a million credits) Aurora is a wanted woman. She needs to stay hidden and what better way to do it than with a dragon? Kade and his dragon know that Aurora is their mate which means they will protect her.

Aurora, Kade, and their adopted daughter Lyra begin to settle into the small village they are living in. Then things get a bit edge of your seat. Aurora issues a challenge that they assume Kade will be dealing with. Only nothing seems to be going their way.


As I said I enjoyed this story. It was fun and the action was just enough to keep it from being over the top with the romance. Although the romance is sweet and well worth the read.

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. This review was originally posted on Wickedly Romance

Aurora has a bounty on her head and having bright red hair she is easily recognized and covered her hair immediately. Aurora is one of the women to be selected to adopt a baby, the last of the Imberian race and in return she would be given a plot of land to raise her child, in Aurora case a cottage. But her main reason to adopt a child, was to hide her identity and live in peace. That is when she meet Kade, a big golden, gorgeous, Invicta warrior, a dragon shifter, with his charge, baby Lyra, but what she didn't count on was liking the baby and Kade very much
Kade, a Invicta, warrior, a dragon shifter who at first sight knew Aurora is his mate and knows he must take it slow with terran woman, but to him she looks familiar. They headed to the neighbor to introduce them self and hope they will give them some food till morning, since all their dry goods was ruined by little critters invaded the cottage, but then the neighbor lady said Aurora looks familiar. When they get back to the cottage, Aurora tells Kade who she really is and why she had to cover her hair. But when they go to town and see the sheriff and his men threatened and treat the merchant cruelly can Aurora stay quite or will be be her rebel self and will Kade stay quiet to protect his little family.
I am volunteering to leave a ARC review of this book..

“Kade: Alien Adoption Agency #2” is the second book in the new series: Adoption Agency. I loved Noxx, the first book in the series, couldn’t wait for the next story but doubted that she could top that story. But, she did! Tasha Black is an extremely talented writer who continues to dazzle us with her stories. This story burns the pages from page one! Aurora Day is a rebel and in BIG trouble. She joins the Alien Adoption Agency in hopes of finding a safe place to hide from the intergalactic soldiers hunting for her. Whereas, Luna, in book 2, adopts an alien baby in exchange for housing and a plot of land to build a better life. What Aurora didn’t know was that a sexy, HOT dragon, Alien Warrior named Kade is to assist her. Ummm, quite a dilemma - especially since his dragon has a wild lust for her even as she shies away from him and the adorable baby Lyra. Now, is the time for you to pick up the book and read how the dragon burns for her. LOL Or, does Aurora have to leave the beautiful family and life, she has just found? Will Kade and Aurora be able to stand their ground and fight for the new family?
The characters are beautifully developed, the story is filled with uncertainly, tension, fast paced, sexy scenes and romance with desires fulfilled. The story is a steamy read and I just kept reading and reading……….Thank you Tasha Black!

Kade and Aurora

She's a political enemy on the run. The adoption is a way to escape--she hopes. She didn't think about having a baby to care for and she sure didn't plan on including a hot warrior in on the deal.

Kade knew immediately she was more than a mother for the baby. She was his. His dragon knew she was their mate and would do whatever it took to keep her with them--even protect her from the authorities.

Once again a touching story with characters you love fighting for their own love. Aurora is a strong woman Kade must learn to accept that strength. The baby is adorable and helps bring them together. As always the author gives the reader romance, steam, intrigue, and a story that keeps pulling the reader in.

[Sara · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a quick and fun read about a woman who moves to a new world to adopt an alien baby. The author was incredibly imaginative with the world she built for these characters to experience.

Aurora is a wanted woman with a million credit bounty on her head. Her fire red long curls are an eye catching and very distinctive characteristic she needs to keep hidden. She is from very poor planet where people have little and are treated poorly. She is overwhelmed by the cute cottage Kade brings her to along with her new cute adoptive daughter Lyra.


She is attracted to the giant golden warrior and her heart melts when she sees her newly adopted daughter snuggled so gently in his arms. Kade’s
Dragon recognizes Aurora as his mate, and she feel like Kade is her home.

Aurora and Kade quickly make friends with their new neighbors, but inadvertently cause problems in the small village when they stand up for the merchants. Aurora challenges the Sheriff in the Sheriffs Cup a 3 stage competition. She and Kade think he will be the one competing, but at the start of the competition are surprised to learn it will be Aurora since she issued the challenge.

As the competition ends and shortly after the winner crosses the finish line, the Intergalactic Regiment show up seeking out ‘The Fox’ as Aurora was known. Will she end up in prison? What about her daughter Lyra? How will Kade react?

I received an ARC from the author and I am voluntarily leaving a review. I am eager to read the 3rd book in this series about Phoebe and her green alien warrior and alien baby boy.

Redeemed!

A wanted woman has two choices run or stay and fight the charges. What she doesn’t do,is adopt an alien baby and move to a far away planet! Aurora was a boss and I loved her character. I knew right away that I would. She and Kade were perfect for each other and I loved how their relationship just sort of unfolded like an old fashioned fan. The world building is imaginative and the characters are well thought out. There is action and sexy times and a lot of humor. The end of the book came too soon but there is still Tyro’s book to come and I can’t wait to read it.

[Carol · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow

This book was original, out of the box wonderful. Fell in love with Kade and the way he sees females strength as a positive.
Aurora the rebel was great in her unusual way of seeing and doing things.
Hope the third book will have all three of them “mamas” reunite for a celebration. Maybe they can set up planet for more adoptions.

Aurora Day is wanted by the authorities, she needs to escape before she is caught. The answer comes by adopting a child and being moved to a distant moon. Aurora meets her daughter and the baby's protector. Sparks fly between Aurora and Kade but there is too much at stake for Aurora to lose her heart. They get off on the wrong foot as soon as they arrive on the moon and interfere with the sheriff's team collecting protection fees. To save Kade, Aurora challenges the sheriff on Kade's behalf but when it's time for the challenge it's not Kade who has to compete. They have a rocky start and things just seem to get worse until Aurora feels her only way to protect Kade and the baby is to run as far and as fast as she can. Loved the character, this was a great read.

Sweet Story of 2nd Chances

Kade and Aurora are the adoptive parents to Lyra. Aurora chose this life as a way to escape those who hunt her. Aurora stood up to those who abused their power. Kade also believes in standing up for what is right. There are unwanted consequences to this in their new home town.
I loved how they stood up for right and the kindness portrayed by the characters to help them define what is important.

Rebel With A Cause

Unlike the other 2 Ladies who came to this frontier moon, called Clotho, Aurora had a price on her fiery red head. Lyra, the adorable fussy little daughter she adopted, came with a Invicta Gold Dragon Warrior. Kade finding his mate a capable sharpshooter was not his last surprise. Author, Tasha Black makes you feel your in the middle of her characters fight for justice. A Fast Fun Read.

[Farah · Rating 4 out of 5]

A quick read. This is book two in the series. We get to read about Kade and Aurora story. This book didn’t give as much detail as the first book and Aurora as a mother didn’t quite come together. It just wasn’t written about that much being the series is about alien adoption agency. Overall a good read.

A terrific Alien romance!

Tasha Black writes the.most fascinating sci-fi stories, and her newest release, KADE is no exception! Readers are again introduced to a biome on the verdant moon Clotho. However, not everything is as it seems. For all of the genuine "dream come true" that her new family and idelic life seem to offer, Aurora knows her secret could be exposed. And that just can't happen. Now, of you are looking for an great read set in place quite different from your norm, then KADE should be your next romance! Happy pages! 😉

Kade: Alien Adoption Agency

Nice, simple, uncomplicated story. No one was kidnapped or bought by slavers. This was an excellent book for bedtime. It's short enough to be read quickly and is quite pleasant. There are sexual scenes. This may offend some. Otherwise, as a short uncomplicated story I recommend this book.

[Nancy Reads Romance · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a sweet book with a little bit of action! Aurora Day, also known as The Fox, really steals the show in this story. She's wanted for a crime she didn't commit. Kade is a dragon shifter and a warrior. He is vowed to protect baby Lyra and Aurora. What Aurora doesn't know is that she's Kade's fated mate. This book surprised me. I guessed the plot would go differently. Kade is sweet and hot and capable. But Aurora proves just as capable! Maybe these two will fall in love along the way. An exciting second book in this series! Kade is relatively short and a great read for any night. And I absolutely LOVE this cover! 4 stars

[Carissa Janes · Rating 4 out of 5]

When reading the first book in the series, I was intrigued by The Fox, so I was excited to read Aurora's book. I think it's interesting that the books are titled after the hero, but the stories are centered so much more around the heroine. I get the impression from the titles that the men are much more alpha and gendered than they truly are in the story. I love the way the roles are almost reversed.

Unexpected

About the only expected thing about this story was Jade and Aurora falling in love. The art thieves next door weren't expected. Aurora turning herself in for the crimes she never committed wasn't expected. Aurora instead of Kade competing in the Sheriff's Cup wasn't expected. Nor was Aurora becoming sheriff expected.

[Gladys · Rating 5 out of 5]

Kade and Aurora made a wonderful couple. I really enjoyed their pull of attraction, intense chemistry and clever banter. My attention was grabbed by the entertaining storyline that provided a combination of romance, action, drama, emotion and excitement. This is such a fun series that really I think has its own unique feel and a fresh twist that makes it super appealing. I'm really looking forward to book 3! This is my objective review that I am posting of my own accord.

Wow! “KADE” is the 2nd fan-freaking-tastic, page-turning must read in the latest series by Tasha Black! ... With hunky aliens, feisty women, adorable babies & shifters, this 2nd book from the ‘Alien Adoption Agency’ series will grab you from the start & hold right on until the end, just like it did to me! ... Always a fresh & unique storyline, great characters so relatable like the H/h, Kade & Aurora, plus witty dialogue, hooked me from page one so I did not want to put it down whenever real life got in my way! :o lol ... Even tho I volunteered to read this before release day, it was without any outside influences plus I usually buy kindle books whenever I can. So I honestly do recommend this to adult fans of fiction & now I can’t wait for more from this author, but of course I will :D
