Stranded on Earth #3
Her Alien Student
ZEV & CHARLIE'S STORY
Zev Monroe abandoned his career as a tattoo artist to pursue his love of music. It might’ve been a risky decision if he weren’t a millionaire alien-dragon shifter whose special power is communicating with machines.
He mastered the violin in four days, so learning the guitar shouldn’t take him long, right? The problem is he’s developed a major crush on his guitar instructor Charlotte “Charlie” Brooks and pretends to be clueless in order to spend more time in her class.
But Charlie has too much on her plate to even consider pursuing the hot brother of her boss. She’s a single mom, she’s new in town, and she’s constantly looking over her shoulder wondering when her past will catch up to her.
During a night of debauchery, Zev and Charlie end up married, and though neither can remember saying, “I do,” they both want to remain in the marriage for different reasons. Charlie wants to maintain sole custody of her daughter, while Zev just wants a chance to prove to Charlie that he’s a worthy mate.
Eventually, their worlds collide in dangerous and unexpected ways, and the idyllic small town of Sudbury is forever changed.
Her Alien Student is the third installment in the Stranded on Earth series, featuring a plus size, 33-year-old woman eager to start fresh in her new town. But when her past catches up to her, she worries it'll scare away the hot guy in her beginner guitar class she's grown attached to.
If you like huge, sexy aliens, rom-com moments of adorability, steamy love scenes, and happily ever afters, you'll love this series!

My dilemma with reading an ARC is writing a review without spoiling too much, which I always end up doing.
Firstly, if you're a music lover, you're in for a treat. The characters bond over their favourite songs, adding a sweet touch to the story. And guess what? There's a single mom in the mix with an adorable little Nia, making the tale even more heartwarming. Our alien student is a virgin, and if that's your thing, like me, check that box too!☺️
Here's another hint: "It's a beautiful night, we're looking for something dumb to do. Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you." 😏
Let's say a roller coaster ride happens after that, with a solid theme that can be uncomfortable or painful. But one thing I can assure you is that Ivy will provide a healing balm.
The very playful and naughty element, as Charlie makes him watch her. The way she showed him was to touch her. Oof! Gotta tell you, everything was noted by Zev.🤤
The mean villain from the first book, who has been infuriating (he always made me want to punch him), well, he gets an ending he never saw coming. And the best part? The surprising twist of who orchestrated it! I won't say more, but it's a satisfying conclusion that had me cheering. I gotta give big credit to Ivy for creating such a villain. The main characters always get the highlight for all their passion, desire, attraction, and chemistry, but for me, in this series, it's the villain. God! I really hated him! Whenever this villain is on the scene, I swear, I can feel my blood start to boil. Like, how did Ivy manage to create him? I won't say I'm gonna miss him! but goddamn! how he managed to get under my skin!🫡👏
Another surprising and irritating side character from the previous books actually played a significant role in this book. Getting to know her was refreshing and made me apologize for judging her.
But that's not all – new characters are introduced, and there's a build-up of mystery that hints at something even bigger on the horizon. The excitement is real, and I couldn't help but squeal with anticipation. The family of hidden dragon shifters is growing, and I love how the author keeps expanding this world. Charlie and Zev got their happy ever after, of course, but the ending is a big cliffhanger for the next book. I was left hanging with excitement, and this big mystery was waiting to be unravelled.

“…….Zev lifted you above his head like in Dirty Dancing, and you thanked me and promised you’d name your child after me.”
Zev is the teddy bear you wish you have with you in your bed. Charlie approves of this manner of speech, believe me. Both are so cute and interesting to read I loved their interactions so much I could read on forever! And NIA is so DAMMMMMN CUUUTEEEEEEE!!!! This book is soooo good and you would miss so much in life not reading it. FOR REAL! That spice……scorching……do not burn yourself while reading have an ice pack near you for safety reasons. Zev is the fire Charlie wants to burn in it, and we get to witness this beauty. Will their happy every after survive abusive exe’s and bad police officers? That’s another topic everyone else need to find out as it got a big plot twist that no one could see coming.

Zev, Charlie and Nia
Stranded on earth is on my top List, this series really is fantastic, I just love to read about this alien brothers that just want to fit in Somewhere. Zev as his brothers hás a dark past but he is trying to find himself. He clicks into place with music and soon after he meets Charlie who is an amazing strong moma but She could use some help too. Its great to see how Zev mor only loves Charlie but also her Daughter. The european cousins are hilarious and I want to know more about them. Can't wait for the final brother. Will we finaly know what he does for work? Can't wait to know.

Would like to start off by thanking the author for an ARC to read and review early. This book took me totally by surprise in the best way! I thought it was such a fun book to read with characters I was genuinely interested in. The plot was good while still leaving just enough steamy scenes to keep me happy. I also enjoyed that the author brought up several societal and social issues that are important while tying it into the main plot. There were times my blood was boiling because I was invested in the outcome for the characters while being able to relate to certain situations in real life. I read this book after a few that I was not blown away by, so I flew through this one. Seriously, believe it helped keep from going into a slump. Highly recommend to anyone interested in a combination of aliens, romance, and family!

💙 “I have waited centuries to find you, and I’m not wasting another second to make you mine.”
~~~
Charlie is a phenomenal woman! She’s kind, sweet, feisty and compassionate. And she’s such an amazing, caring and fiercely protective single mother to the sweetest and most adorable girl - Nia. Even more, I loved her courage, strength and resilience to face and deal with all the hardships thrown her way. And I loved that she never hesitated to speak her mind or stand up for herself and the people she cares about. Charlie is incredible and I loved her so, so much!
And there couldn’t be a more perfect male for her than Zev Monroe! This alien dragon shifter is so kind, patient and fiercely protective. He might appear blunt and almost having no filter, but he’s just so awkward, and yet so charming, when it comes to flirting. But he’s been through quite a lot before he and his brothers came to Earth. And he’s still trying to find himself and who he’s meant to be. Zev is amazing and utterly irresistible and I couldn’t help but adore everything about him!
I absolutely loved everything that happened between Charlie and Zev! Charlie works at the library and is a part-time music teacher. Zev, smitten by her and knowing she’s his mate, enrolls in her class even though he’s mastered playing multiple music instruments and can communicate with machines. And then, the fun starts. I loved how they bonded over their mutual love for music! And they were so sweet together, too! I just loved their chemistry and how understanding they were of one another. But, with everything that’s happened in both their pasts and with Charlie’s ex coming unexpectedly in her life with quite the demands, they had their ups and downs. But, with good communication, everything can be resolved. Aaaand, accidentally getting married might help, too. I loved how supportive both were of each other. Even more, I adored every moment Zev spent bonding with Nia and I loved every moment Zev and Charlie spent together. And when they couldn’t resist the undeniable need for one another, the passionate moments they shared were off-the-charts hot! Zev might’ve been inexperienced but he’s a fast learner and will make you swoon! Charlie and Zev were so perfect for each other and after everything they went through, they more than deserved to find happiness and love together!
In addition, the storyline was incredible! So much is happening and I have so many questions! The Monroe brothers and their mates made me cackle on so many occasions. But what’s the deal with Kyan? Even more, Officer He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named finally gets everything that he deserves, but that poses the question… Now what? Because I’m certain there will be more unexpected things happening in the next story. And can we talk about the European “cousins”?! Because I’d definitely love to learn more about them! With everything happening and the unexpected turns of events, I was glued to the pages till the very end.
Overall, the story is another remarkable addition to the series! It’s filled with humor, suspense, action, dager, twists, drama, blazing hot passion and phenomenal characters.
I couldn’t put it down and absolutely loved every page of it!

Zev how adorable he is, and Charlie loves how strong and independent. This book is so sweet but at the same time shows you the reality of the things a single mother with an abusive ex has to go through, how Knox consciously brings up this subject especially how she shows us that there is a second chance for love. A dragon shifter who signs up for guitar lessons because her fated mate is the one teaching the class, Charlie a single mother who lives with her father because she has been running away from her ex-abuser since her little Nia was born. She works as a teacher, and a librarian's assistant, and does everything she can to support her little girl and be an independent woman.
I love how they fall in love through the music, sent songs about how they feel for each other are cute. Their love story makes your heart clench with happiness when they meet because they both need each other so desperately. Charlie has been through so many things and she needs that person she can trust she finds that person in Zev who accepts her as she is and above all accepts her little girl and loves her as if she were his own. They are meant for each other the chemistry between the two of them I loved, and the communication between the two of them as they relate to each other is truly genuine.
In this book you will find, lots of drama, aliens/Dragon Shifters, music, smut, and lots of love especially Founded Family for Charlotte and her little Nia. It's a beautiful story of a single mother, especially the sensitive topics and how she finds happiness, it's worth reading this beautiful story.
Thank you for the opportunity to belong to this ARC team, I am leaving my honest and voluntary opinion.

Zev, the male alien dragon shifter lead, has met his mate and promptly stuck his foot in his mouth. He’s never been socially clever and the best idea he has to get close to her is to join her group guitar lessons. Charlie, the female human Black lead, has been hiding from her abusive ex since she found she was pregnant and was determined to keep the baby safe from him. Now in her home town, she’s terrified when he catches up to her and demands visitation so he can use their daughter to prove he’s not racist as he runs for political office.
When they wake up married after a night drinking, Zev is determined to use his opportunity to prove he’s a great choice for Charlie, even if they do have outside objections to overcome.
This story is dual POV, well written, and an interesting paranormal romance set several years after the others in this series. I enjoyed Zev’s gentle persistence and appreciated the insight into his thinking, and his character development. I empathised with Charlie’s struggles and the reality of abusive relationships and that they don’t just stop when the survivor leaves. I enjoyed the solution the story offered and wish it was really available for people struggling in real life. I enjoyed the relationship development and the genuine incorporation of Charlie’s daughter within the plot.
I received a complimentary copy from the author and this is my voluntary honest review.

Awe, our sweet Zev’s book is finally here, and he was totally worth the wait. And I love Charlie for him, she’s a perfect fit. He enrolls in Charlie’s basic guitar class, even though he is an exceptional guitar player and can communicate with machines, to spend an hour a week with her….awe, he is just so damn adorable. He’s super shy, blushing all the time, which is cute af, but he has the biggest heart too. He is just so adorably awkward, I really did just adore him, and thankfully Charlie totally appreciates him too. And the way he is with her daughter *sigh* is just too sweet. He steps in when they both need him, and is the total sexy shy sweetheart we’ve all fell in love with. Seriously your ovaries are gonna be in overload with this one, because he is a dreamy book boyfriend keeper.
Great storyline, cute, and super sweet that will have you saying awe all the time, with a side heat. This has a few interesting twists, and obviously shit went south quickly in a span of moments, which I loved. Oh, and we get a question answered from the last book….very interesting indeed. An epilogue that will have you saying wtaf, and needing more, not wanting more, but needing more…asap, and a hea.

This was so sweet and adorable that I absolutely zipped through it. I enjoyed Zev, Charlie and Nia’s little family so much!
Zev was an adorkable mess and it made him so endearing. He was clearly all in with Charlie from the start and it showed in his actions. I loved that slid into each others DMs and communicated via music and song choices. Music is so highly subjective and it was a really sweet, unique way for them to connect.
I loved how Zev was with Nia too. He was clearly nervous as all get out but they clearly bonded and he did his absolute best by her.
The conflict made me want to crawl into the book and smack certain white men in the face but thankfully it was resolved fairly quickly! I’m definitely intrigued to see if there will be any repercussions for what happened in the next book but I guess we’ll have to wait and see! Thankfully even though there was conflict, there was no third act break up and this family is as strong as ever.
We got a sneaky glimpse into what’s coming next for Kyan’s book and I am 9000% intrigued!!
Overall this was just a really wholesome small town story and definitely makes me want my own dragon mate 💙

Charlie is a single mother, working in the library and being a part-time music teacher. Zev is the dragon shifter that signs up for her class.
In reality, Zev doesn't really need music lessons, because he is basically a god when it comes to music and can also communicate with machines. He just wants to be closer to her, because she is his mate and wants to give her time to fall in love with him.
Both of them are really cute as a couple. They complete each other and they both deserve happiness. Her daughter, Nia, is adorable, and I loved how much Zev accepted her as his own. What I particularly love is the communication between them and how understanding they were to each other.
But like in other books, there was plenty of drama, but they loved each other deeply and everything was resolved just perfectly.
And let me tell you something...I loved loved loved that justice was finally served 😈. It was about time.
There are, however, some new characters that I would love to read about in the future.

I simply could not put this book down. What an amazing addition to this series. Ivy's words flow and her characters are so detailed that you feel like you are in the scenes with them. Her plot twists will surprise you and she blends in danger, secrets, angst, shyness, romance and steam to make this a great read. I can't forget Nia, she is so cute.
Charlie is raising Nia on her own and has moved quite often to keep her abusive ex boyfriend from finding them. Currently staying with her father, she works at the library and teaches guitar lessons. That's how she meets Dev.
Dev knows immediately she is his mate. But his past keeps him back with believing he's 'useless'. He's a dragon shifter like his brothers. Now he just needs to find a way to get to know Charlie better, to be closer to his mate.

Zev and Charlie are both awkward and unsure in their own ways. They find common ground through music and start to progress to friends. Charlie is a single mom to Nia and once Zev meets and gains her approval he knows nothing will break them apart.
I love the lighthearted moments in this as well as the stakes. The corruption and hate against Zev and his family was really upped in this storyline. I wish we had delved more into the trauma of both MCs. It would have added a bit more emotional depth.
But I really enjoyed the story. It’s a cute and pretty quick read. And ends on a crazy cliffhanger for the family overall. But it’s a HEA for the couple, Zev and Charlie.

I really loved the book and the way Zev speaks. That whole I don’t know what you’re talking about but I’ll google it thing. Adorable! Even though this is the third in the series, I had not read the previous ones, I wasn’t feeling like I was lost. I definitely feel like I must read the entire series though because I enjoyed this one so much. As someone who was a single mom the author did a fantastic job of conveying that in this story and Zev just makes me swoon, all single moms would love a Zev.

I love Ivy Knox's Stranded on Earth series and this book is no exception. The characters are very layered and well thought out. She touches on issues that are prevalent in today's society especially those for women and colored women. But she still makes it a fun, romantic love story. Zev is adorably awkward and Charlie is a single mom just trying to do her best by her adorable daughter Nia. I highly recommend this book for anyone who enjoys contemporary paranormal/scifi romance.

I think Charlie and Zev and Nia might be my favorites so far! I love the softness in this story and I adore Zev’s shyness as it makes him so adorable. Charlie and he fit so well together and while there were some darker elements in this book, I did feel the softness throughout it.
The story was fun to follow along and I cannot wait to find out what happens in the next book and to the next brother. That cliffhanger was very intriguing.

Zev was so cute, just pure sunshine vibes (even though he's a tall, tattooed bad-boy lookalike LOL)
Curious to see about Kyan's book, will definitely keep an eye out...
– Dual pov
– Virgin H/celibate h (she hasn't dated anyone seriously since she left her ex)
– Alien-dragon shifter H/human h
– Single mom
– No cheating or OW/OM drama (h's baby-daddy/ex causes trouble about custody)
– HEA ending + epilogue

Okay that car scene is probably the hottest thing I have ever read. Yes 🔥
Zev is the sweetest cinnamon bun.
Charlie is a perfect balance of spice to that bun.
and Nia is just adorable.
I loved this one so much, it has been my favourite of this series so far, and I am impatiently awaiting the next book!

I love the whole series, but this might be my favorite! Zev is adorably sweet and awkward while Charlie is strong and outgoing. It's great to see how the other couples' relationships are going too. Can't wait for the next one.

A little choppy, but fun
The story is a bit disjointed. It just doesn't ever work into a flow. The very end is when all the storyline & characters finally feel in sync. I enjoyed it anyway as a continuation of the series.

Sort of a charming small town, single mom romance, with a hint of stalkerish ex, until the very end then BAM - we're murdering people and there's other aliens popping up out of nowhere?? A weird mix.

So far, I think I like Zev the most of all the alien brothers. He had a terrible life before escaping to Earth. I also like Charlie, her daughter Nia, and Caitlin (Vanessa's and Sam's nemesis). Book 3 is romantic, amusing, sexy, interesting and leaves us with another mystery. I loved the ending.

'Beach ball must be a ball filled with beach sand.'
Seriously, Zev and his dragon are the cutest awkwards!!!
First things first - the fact that there is this kid Nia who plays, if not major, then at least, an equally important part in Zev's and Charlie's mating, is what took my heart away! The musical references, Zev looking after Nia and caring for her, providing them with the security they need, and oh! claiming her as 'my wife' in the right places and the right manner! It's safe to say your heart will be ripped out of your ribs and go to this beautiful human-skinned-dragon-male!
AND Charlie dressing up as my favourite Twilight FMC (guess who, it's not difficult; when I learnt of her backstory in the latter books, she became my ultimate favourite) and Zev, her partner, is what completely got me into it!
So, here's the thing - i LOVEDDD this book!!! Truly, I did! I finished reading it in just one sitting - within 4.5 hours to be precise! This book and the characters in it had already clutched my heart from the beginning. The fact that I binged the first two books in order to better understand this one when I was offered an ARC by @flyingpigpr in exchange for an honest review definitely helped! And I can't thank them enough for it!

The problem solving just gets better. The characters are just exceptional. You simply can’t go wrong with this series, grab them all.

I couldn’t relate to the MCs at the start as I was unfamiliar with the songs they were talking about, but they hit it off. Our MMC was awkward and he didn’t know how to deal with the FMC. But I stuck reading the story, and it got better. We get to know the MMC, no more awkward. He’s a fantastic guy. Then we met some distant cousins who complicated their lives, but sort of removed their immediate concerns. Now, I wonder what happened to the last brother.
