Alien Bride

Scifi Alien Human Romance #3

by Deiri Di

I thought getting fired for a social media blunder was rock bottom.

Oh I had no idea how low I could go.

my friend Caley is running a mated marriage matchup agency, and my crazy idea is to marry an alien, one of those super cute dancing and singing ones that took over our planet a little while ago. But guess what? The alien in question that I’m matched with? A naga! Yeah, that’s right. My new hubby-to-be is one of the alien species that has visited Earth on the regular for a millennia.

Meet Aeson, the naga ready to create my nightmares… and my dreams. He's here to help me out of my mess, but his idea of "help" is way more adventurous than I bargained for. Turns out, Aeson isn’t just about looking intimidating; he’s got this whole protective, I'll-do-anything-for-you vibe that’s impossible to resist.

He’s terrifying in all the ways that I need.

Between battling my panic attacks and navigating his wild, reptilian way of doing things, I might just find exactly what I someone who’s there for me, no matter what. And maybe, just maybe, falling head over tail for him is exactly what the doctor ordered.

Alien Bride is a standalone alien romance featuring multiple “parts” and a refuse to be kept down hollywood actress. Like all my books, HEA guaranteed.

Gleeful Goblin Review: I love everything from this author so far and this book is no exception. I'm a bit of a curmudgeon who doesn't mess with anything live streaming/video related but even I found this FMC funny and sweet for wanting to support her friend opening up an alien dating agency and using her digital audience to signal boost her friend. "I looked past the camera at my friend. She had come out from behind the counter and was standing there wringing her hands. She was wearing the same heavy black baggy sweats that she preferred, even now for her first day of work. Even though she said it was okay, I didn’t point the camera at her. I’d known this woman since elementary school. She didn’t want fame or notoriety. The level of hate that was already thrown my way because of simply dating would absolutely crush her. Though she was now a part of running this matchmaking service, she didn’t want to be the face of it. That was where I came in. No one would be bothering her if I was the one they were talking about. I was here to be the face of this whole thing by showing the process of it. I was going through the whole process, start to finish. It didn’t hurt that dating had been absolute hèll for me. Trying to date as a celebrity was a pain. I couldn’t guarantee that anyone was interested in me for me, rather than for the characters I played or the status I could convey just by existing next to them. I still wasn’t sure if I’d go ahead with the whole marriage thing. I’d need to make sure the guy was down with it being a fake marriage for publicity’s sake, but as long as he was down for that, I was definitely going forward. This was going to drive my popularity through the roof. I bet the conservative news channels would be talking shít about me for years. Besides, this guy was supposed to be my perfect match. If that was the case he was going to love being in the spotlight just as much as me."

Of course, expectations and reality rarely match up in these stories and this is no exception, but in the best way. Fake relationship and focusing on fame give way to more....earnest pursuits as these two get to know each other better and even to know themselves. A spicy, hilarious, and touching ride from start to finish pick up this space naga meet cute immediately. 5/5 Stars.

“I do not need to coerce a mate. You have stated you wish to use a fake mating with me to further your goals in some fashion. As your mate, I would support you in whatever projects and endeavors you wished to accomplish. I find you attractive and am unwilling to pretend to be your mate when what I bring to the relationship is real.”

I loved this book. Great world building and wonderful characters. I've loved Nagas since I was a kid, so I was excited for an alien Naga MMC. I loved Aeson. I thought he was really sweet, and since his species takes very good care of their females, he was determined to see to all of Jessica's needs and desires. I honestly found Jessica to be selfish and stuck up. The fact that she decided to live stream her first meeting with an alien male who would potentially become her mate- and being the first participant in her friend's matchmaking company- also brought down my view of her. Now I saw her as some teenage influencer rather than a serious budding actress. Not to mention how she reacted, which unknowingly aligned with his species' mating customs. She messed up, and he thought things were going great. lol

She got a lot of negative publicity for the stream and was immediately fired and blacklisted. She proposed a fake marriage with him to save her career and he refused. It honestly took a long time for me to warm up to her because I found her so unlikable. I loved seeing things through Aeson's eyes- especially how his perception of things aligned with his culture, which isn't exactly as they are meant from a human standpoint.

I really love the worlds and species and alien cultures Deiri Di creates. I can't wait until her next book. 5 stars

Unique, sci-fi romance.
🔸️First of all, I love the storyline. A lot of it is connected to the cultural differences, various customs and mating rituals. The descriptions of them are fabulous and well placed in plot.
🔸️I have particularly enjoyed 2 scenes: the first meeting of MCs (and their innitial reaction to each other) and the heated marriage negotiations.
The way how authors presents the differences in perceiving the same things in interspecies marriages is really good.
🔸️ I like MMC - Aeson. A perfect mate for all giant Naga's lovers. 😉 A massive alien with spikes, tail, special p@@n and able to change his colour.
He is so excited and delighted about meeting his mate. He works hard to accomodate her needs. He is truly dedicated to his task.
🔸️I don't like FMC. She is too self-centered for me. It takes her too long to appreciate her partner.
In my eyes, there is a significant lack of balance in give and take between them. She is not doing enough and he is being used by her. I understand that by his species cultural standards her behaviour is acceptable and seen normal, but I am left uneasy by that. Aeson is a too nice character to be continously treated like that, she should make more effort at least at the end and show that things can be bit different.
🔸️ There was a lot of spicy teasing and steamy talk, but not to much spicy action. I love their texts exchanges.
🔸️The world building is very good.
Reading is smooth and enjoyable.
🔸️If you are looking for original, different than others, sci-fi alien romance, consider chosing this story!.

4.25 stars. Jessica, the female human lead, is an aspiring actress who is starting to get roles but, when she looks to leverage her influencer fame to help her friend launch her alien matchmaker business, a disaster ensues and she’s blacklisted from the industry. Desperately, Jessica seeks to leverage her one remaining option - the marriage that she was theoretically applying for.

Aeson, the male Naga lead from another planet, has come to Earth in the hopes of securing a human female partner who will be interested in having only a few in her harem, preferably with him as first male. He’s grateful to be intensely attracted to Jessica, the mate he has matched, and determined to do and be everything she needs. His culture is female focused and he’s more than happy to continue in that vein.

But Jessica has a problem and helping her with that may cause her turn away from Aeson…

This story is dual POV, well written, and a detailed, slowburn, sci fi romance with deeply humorous culture clash and miscommunication, as well as exploration of some dark themes for health benefits. The author has listed trigger warnings and these are accurate. I enjoyed Aeson’s dogged determination to provide for Jessica in whatever way she needed. I enjoyed Jessica’s dawning awareness of her selfishness, which was mediated by her health challenges. I enjoyed the strong secondary character engagement and support. I enjoyed the relationship development, though I was amused by Aeson’s continued encouragement of the acquiring of additional males for Jessica that she gently rebuffed.

Jessica's (h) life is turned upside down when she agrees to be the first human client for her best friend Caley's new matchmaking service, which pairs human women with aliens. An actor with a significant online following, Jessica's journey is anything but ordinary as she navigates the intense scrutiny of live-streaming her experiences and the unexpected challenges of dating an alien. Her match, Aeson (H), is an Atasari—a snake-like alien who is as intimidating as he is gentle. Their initial meeting goes viral for all the wrong reasons, leading to a media scandal that costs Jessica her job. Despite the chaos, Jessica decides to continue with the process, driven by a desire to reinvent herself and regain control of her life. As Jessica and Aeson learn to understand each other's worlds, they form a bond that transcends their differences. Through mutual respect, communication, and a lot of patience, they explore the complexities of interspecies love. Aeson is dedicated and attentive to Jessica's needs as they get to know one another and as he helps her heal. Some sweet humorous touches throughout the story - their initial meeting when Jessica accidentally unwittingly indicated her interest in Aeson; Earth view from his spaceship; and the misunderstanding about a honeymoon, to name few. Slow build, though it's hot and steamy when things get going, alien-human romance about finding love and connection in the most unexpected places, challenging societal norms, and the power of trust and respect.

10/10

I recently finished reading "Alien Bride: A Married Alien Romance" by Deiri Di, and I absolutely loved it! As the third book in the SciFi Alien Human Romance series, it did not disappoint.

The story follows the protagonist who finds herself married to an alien, and the journey they embark on together is both thrilling and heartwarming. The author does an incredible job of blending romance and science fiction, creating a world that's both imaginative and believable.

The characters are well-developed and relatable. I found myself really rooting for the protagonist and her alien husband. Their relationship is filled with challenges and growth, making it easy to get emotionally invested in their story.

One of the standout aspects of the book is its exploration of love transcending boundaries. The idea that love can bridge the gap between different species and cultures is beautifully portrayed, and it really resonated with me.

Deiri Di's writing style is engaging and vivid. The descriptions of the alien world and its inhabitants are so detailed that I felt like I was right there with the characters. The dialogue is natural and adds to the chemistry between the characters.

Overall, "Alien Bride: A Married Alien Romance" is a fantastic read for anyone who enjoys a mix of romance and science fiction. It's a unique and compelling story that kept me hooked from start to finish. I highly recommend it!

All her life Jessica has dreamed of being an actress and just when she seems to have made it, she alienates (pardon the pun) her fans by helping her friend Caley and joining her marriage agency. Imagine her shock when she’s matched with a giant snake man. Though Aeson is overjoyed to meet his mate, he inadvertently gets her sacked when Jessica’s live stream reveals some of his undeniable assets and so Jessica decides to use Aeson to save her career. I didn’t like Jessica very much and for most of the book she was selfish and bratty. Aeson, on the other hand, bent over backwards to care for her and do whatever she wanted. Interestingly, the females in Aeson’s culture were as self-centered as Jessica, so it was nothing new for him. liked the slow burn though, as Jessica slowly saw the light. There were some truly funny moments both in terms of culture clash and biology. The image of Jessica with a clutch of eggs had me laughing until I cried, though imagining a harem of hunky aliens was definitely more my style.

This was a really good book and I loved the main characters as well as the others. Jessica is a social media influencer and to help her best friend out in her match making agency she will be the first to be matched and married off and when she meets her new husband Aeson she’s not sure about the match because he is a Naga. Aeson is a Naga who has just been matched to a human female and he wants the marriage to be successful and to be the top male in her Harem and will do everything he can to make her happy and cherished and protected. There first meeting was funny as they navigate there new relationship and Aeson wants to satisfy his human in every way. How does it all turn out in the end, do they get there HEA or not.

Ok, so I have to admit that for the first few chapters I really did not like Jessica. She came across as very self-centered, shallow and frankly rather unpleasant despite knowing the whys and wherefores, which should soften you but for me , at that point, didn't. The skill of the writer though to pull you round to another way of thinking was wonderful and actually in the end I rather liked her.

Aeson I thought was a total sweetheart right from the start and was the reason that I kept reading at first. He was more than willing to find out how his mate's culture was different to his own and how he could do things to ensure that she felt safe and happy. He wasn't trying to take over or push her into anything she was not ready for. I loved him and the book.

I loved Alien Bride which is a wonderful Alien/Human Sci-Fi Romance that finds MFC Jessica helping out her best friend Caley with promoting her new mating matchup agency by signing on to be matched, mated, and married to an alien.
Thinking along the lines of one of those hot space elf hunks the situation turns mission critical when her match is MMC Naga, Aeson. The scene that unfolds that first meeting is so funny!
Captivating writing, world building, passion, cultural differences, and personal vulnerability combined with delightful characters succeeded in delivering a sweet, spicy, entertaining read.

Such a unique story! I loved it! I loved the fact that she was a social media influencer and was trying to promote alien and human relationships via a arranged/marriage of convivence type situation. I also liked that he was rich and that this actually contributed to the storyline and wasn't just a footnote, and the fact that even in a society where there are several different species of aliens there is still racism made me sad, but that's unfortunately probably realistic when it comes to us terrible humans and how we treat each other, but the book was great! I was hooked and I would totally recommend to alien romance lovers or those who enjoy the marriage of convenience trope!

Jessica and Aeson both have preconceived ideas about the opposite sex and their motivations. Given that Jessica is a young woman with severe anxiety who suffers from panic attacks and Aeson is a naga used to a matriarchal society where males are of less value the potential for misunderstandings is immense.

I love this author's writing and thoroughly enjoyed this addition to the series. Aeson is a sweet, gentle giant completely focused on winning and caring for his human female. Whilst Jessica overcomes her issues with his help, gaining self confidence and awareness. Awesome and can't wait for the next book.

Oh, what a big difference a little communication would have made!

Jessica is a self-centered twit who wants the entire world to love her and marries a stranger alien just for the likes it will get her on social media. She’s so neurotic that she’s addicted to mood stabilizers. He has to scare her to the point of near death to heal her mind. It fucks him up. Does she even notice? Nope. She never does bother to learn anything about his culture or what he wants from the relationship. The one sex scene is hot, with the way he prepares her, but she has no ida what’s happening… and frankly neither does the reader. It’s a good thing that all he wants is a human mate, because he doesn’t get much else.

Alien Bride: A Married Alien Romance Is different take on an Alien romance than the ones I’m used to reading. However, I absolutely enjoyed reading Alien Bride. I thought it to be a charming Alien romance book that kept me wanting to find out more about the characters. I happened to think this book to be a page-turning story. I loved the details on about each character, especially Jessica and Aeson. I’m not going to give out details about the story because I don’t want to spoil the story for future readers. I would recommend this book to readers that enjoy reading Alien romances.

I liked this story and thought that it had a unique twist on the whole alien marriage trope.
However, this is the first time that I preferred the alien, Aeson to his human bride, Jessica. I found her to be quite self-centred. I know that characters should be unique but, they have to be likeable. It might have worked if Aeson wasn’t so nice, patient or caring. I felt there needed to be more of a balance between the main characters.
Bear in mind that this is just my point of view so please don’t be put off as this is still a very well-written story and is very much worth a read.

Alien matchmaking.
Jessica is a popular actress who has decided to lend her friend a hand in doing publicity for her new matchmaking business. The only problem is Jessica should have done a little more homework on what she'd be getting herself into. The first surprise... her alien match isn't the same species as her friend's mate. Aeson is a complete shock to the little human he's been matched with. If you enjoy those reality shows where they marry and figure out if it will work out, you will love this. Then again, I don't care for many reality shows and I loved it.

This is a first read for me and was enjoyable. We jump in with an actress helping her friend business alien mating agency by doing a promo and being a first client. Due to many misconceptions, miscommunications and misunderstandings of things happen throughout this book trying to adjust to new marriage. There a good bit of steam . The only issue was ending I felt was a bit rush and ended an abruptly for my liking but overall I enjoyed it.

Unbearable Female Lead, and TOO MUCH miscommunication

175 pages in and the main couple still have no communication skills. It is a failure of a match a high anxiety, over medicating actress more concerned with her phone then making a connection. Is HEAVILY mislead by her best friend into a blind date with no idea what her “date” even looks like. And I feel sorry for the male lead, he literally tries his hardest to win over the female lead but is totally lost on how to help her because SHE WONT TELL HIM WHAT IS WRONG!!! And the supporting character and misinformation from the female lead make the male lead look to be an abuse partner. I’m really disappointed in this, the sex scene don’t even make it worth the read.

This is another fun addition to this series. I loved Aeson. He was such a great naga and truly dedicated to making his mate happy. Jessica started off as rather selfish but had a dawning awareness of her selfishness and made changes, which I appreciated. This well written story had fab world building, humourous cultural mishaps and a spicy slow burn romance. Definitely an engaging read and I'm looking forward to the next book :D

Spicy alien dual point of view romance. This was my first book from this author and I'm so glad I found it on booksprout. I really enjoyed all of the characters and am definitely reading the first two books from this series next. Her "treatment" was a bit silly to me, but thankfully didn't take up too much of the story. This was a cozy book that was a lot of fun to read.

The prospect of alien marriage is fun and scary at the same time. Learning the methods of seduction and mating of the Atisari was interesting. My only wish is that it was longer to see what happened with the idea of a harem for her and babies for them all. The unique way of fertilization made my eyes pop and mind spin.

Jessica was at the top and now she is trying to just keep her one option open to her. Her marriage. Aeson is a naga who wants his marriage to an earth woman to be successful. He wants her to be satisfied with him but to stay her top male in the harem. Only thing is she is from earth and we don’t need more than one male lol.
With some realizations on Jessica’s side and some cheering from other characters in the book they developed a great bond.

[Trixie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Reading this one made me want to check if I had already read the previous books in the series and look forward to the next book. The aliens looked like aliens, but the love between the alien and his human mate was that same enduring love. I loved the MMC; he’s a dream “alien”.

This one put a bit of modernity and vlogging, making it unique for me.

Jessica felt like acting was how she had to make it in life. She was doing everything to make it big even getting with an alien. Her friend left out some vital info but made the story funny. She just couldn't believe someone wanted her for herself. This was a great book and I would love to get some follow-up if they are going to try Aeson's culture.

Book 3 of the series, but can be read as a standalone with no issues (I didn't read either of the two preceding books and wasn't lost).

I'm a little disappointed.

This was kind of all over the place. The plot was out of control. Nothing really felt properly fleshed out except the setting and world. Even the characters didn't feel consistent.

Overall, it was fine for scratching the alien romance itch, but I wouldn't really recommend it.
