7 books in and I haven't been disappointed by a single one yet!
I'm torn between 4 and 5 stars, but because of the ending I'm going to have to round up! I've been patiently waiting for Rivven's book ever since we first met him in book 4. He lost his hand in an accident shortly after arriving on Zabria Prinar One as a child. Because of this, he doesn't have a ranch and herd like the other guys do. Instead, he runs a saloon for the other ranchers and wardens.
Shiloh works in a factory, but really she's an artist at heart. After a run-in with her boss, she sees the ad for the marriage program. She sees the sky and nature on Zabria Prinar One and decides that's what she needs to get out of her monotone life. This already gave us a bit of a different premise to this book, because the marriage aspect isn't her main priority when going to the penal colony.
She arrives in a snowstorm, which stops the other alien cowboys from coming to meet her. She spends the time waiting for them with Rivven in his saloon. Seeing as marriage isn't her main thought, Rivven tries to prove to her that he can be a good husband and provide for her, and he obviously manages to slowly win her heart. His backstory was so sad, and he truly deserves the WORLD. Despite this, he still put Shiloh and her needs above all else. He's so selfless and sweet to her it was heart-wrenching to read.
I love how these books all follow a similar-ish setup, but the characters themselves are so distinctly different that each book still feels new and exciting. For example, if you compare this book and the last one: Zohro was very "I'll follow you wherever you go, you can't get rid of me." Contrastingly, Rivven offered to give up EVERYTHING in order to fund Shiloh as an artist. He was willing to give up his dream of a wife and let her go if that was what she wished for. If she wanted to leave and just create art, he was willing to give every penny he had to make that happen. *SOB*
I also love how we see/hear about the other couples in later books. I love all of these characters so much, and it's so fun seeing their stories continue in the background.
My only critique is that this book could have had 3,000 more pages (and that still probably wouldn't have been enough for me). There were a couple of aspects of this story, like Rivven's PTSD from losing his hand, that could have been addressed more throughout the book.
There is NO reason for me to give any safety warnings for this book/series. These alien men are so OBSESSED with their human wives that cheating, sharing, etc. is literally unfathomable. Also, there hasn't been a third-act breakup in any book of this series so far!

i swear this is the sweetest alien series ever!! and this one takes the crown because HELLOOOO??? he is so sweet so considerate so gentle. my absolute favorite
“You’re telling me this feels like a dream?” I touched his chest, wanting to give him some relief.
“You are my dream, Shiloh.”

Ursa Dax has officially broken my brain. I am OBSESSED with this series and I want to wipe my memory so I can immediately read again.
IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!
I would love fifty books in this collection because I could never tire of these adorable alien cowboy convicts. Every instalment feels unique and this couple is just so gosh darn cute. Shiloh wants nothing more than the freedom to paint and then she meets Riiven, a chivalrous cinnamon-roll saloon owner who lives to make her smile.
It is equal parts sweet and hilarious and it even made me cry happy tears. My only complaint is that it ended too soon and now I have to wait until February for the next one.
If you haven’t started this series yet you really should because they are all bangers. If cozy alien smut isn’t usually your thing this series will convert you.
Final thoughts: Jamdildos 🤣

“Xennet: Husband. Chair. Knife. Bed. And most excellent future father!”
ARC review.
I am now also smitten by the alien saloon owner.
Quick thoughts below:
🪣 I’m such a sucker for a sad boy alien and Rivven is the ultimate simp sad boy. I want an entire series on just him.
🪣 I loved that we were able to meet all of the new characters in this one while still being able to witness Warden Tenn’s unique way of showing love to his boneheads
🪣 The chronic migraine rep yes please 🙌. Having an alien only care that you’re ok and not at all concerned about you spending days in bed? I loved seeing this in a book
Overall highly recommend. My only criticism is that I do wish that the books were a tad longer. I feel like they have been shorter for the past few books and I think they really shine when they’re >250 pages.

Ah, I fear Rivvan is coming for the top 3 best alien cowboys because my absolutely god this guy was an angel. I cried like the entire book?! These always make me SO emotional.
I am just such a fucking diehard fan of this series & these stunning characters. I cannot put it into words the amount of emotional joy and laughter and heartwarming light these books give me. And the writing is SO good.
The pure innocent aliens who don’t deserve the life they were given but make the best out of everyday and do EVERYTHING they can to feel worthy of these human women. The pure devotion. Absolutely unmatched.
(And finding out a certain special surprise about one of our other characters had me ready to do 1 million cartwheels around my house.)
Them finding eachother and helping eachother through their trauma and just finding peace and happiness together. The sweetest. I NEED MORE FROM THEMMMM. I will NEVER EVER get over these aliens & this world.
This series is like if you took Chestnut Springs & Ice Planet Barbains and combined it into one but like better than I could ever imagine. I highlight nearly every word. Seriously my fav of all time. Always like getting a warm hug. I will be giving every book 5 stars for the world alone because nothing makes me happier in this world.
Thank you to Ursa Dax for this eARC what an absolute dream 😭

when he didn’t even know what a migraine was but he immediately clocked that his horny lantern eyes were hurting her so he started walking around with his eyes closed 😭😭😭 i am NEVER getting over these alien simps and this world. i do however miss the og shenanigans the first few books had, like the famous snake in bed scene. the bucket scene ofc. the last 2 or 3 books especially have been getting shorter and shorter and i’m just a greedy slut when it comes to this series.
also someone else already mentioned this and i wholeheartedly agree: the fmc being a painter yet there being 0 sexy scenes involving paint??? 🤨

3.5 rounded up.
These two seemed perfect for eachother.🥰
Tho, I did find it a bit rude to get all hot and heavy when the other men were there to get to know her,I feel like they could've saved that for a more private time or after she had chosen, I guess she was sampling the goods beforehand 🙈
And given all of Rivven's excitement at wanting to be chosen I would've thought there would've been a little more on-page time of him actually being a husband. 🤷♀️
Otherwise, it was still a good story even if it felt lacking for me personally 😂

Rivven was such a sweetie pie and I wanted to keep him forever. He was compassionate and a little grumpy. Shiloh was downtrodden but had a lot of passion inside her. I liked seeing migraine representation and that Rivven also had a disability with his limb loss. They were lovely together, though I would have loved more time for them to fall in love. It felt a bit rushed but still sweet.
Spice: 2/5
Triggers: sexual harassment, poverty, threat of houselessness, grief from death of parent, unjust justice system, migraine episode, PTSD symptoms, past child abuse, loss of both parents as child

Rated 3.5 stars rounded down
Favourite quote: “Xennet, who’d shown up at her wedding with a fistful of wood lice ready to throw upon her head because he’d misunderstood the human wedding tradition involving something called rice. The fact that I’d prepared a tray of ice to throw at her was not at all relevant. Lice were obviously worse.”
This book was sweet in that soft, gentle way that feels like settling into a cozy chair after a long day. Rivven is the kind of quiet, steady alien who makes you instantly relax. He cares for Shiloh with so much patience and kindness that you cannot help but root for him. The migraine care scenes in particular were lovely, and they showed how a simple moment between two characters can feel tender without needing a big grand gesture behind it. Shiloh herself was very relatable as a woman who is burned down to the wick by real life. She wanted rest, safety, and the space to figure out who she is, and the book did a great job showing that part of her journey.
Even with all of that sweetness, I found myself wishing the story had more tension or weight behind the romance. Everything happened quickly, which made parts of the connection feel a bit too instant for my tastes. Rivven is adorable, but I wanted that one big turning point where he stepped outside his comfort zone for Shiloh or faced something that mattered deeply to him. Something dramatic or heartfelt would have elevated their relationship and made the payoff feel more earned. Without that, the book floated along nicely but never fully landed with the emotional punch I was hoping for.
Shiloh choosing between Rivven, Xennet, and Dorn should have created more suspense than it did, but the book heavily leaned toward one pairing early on. There was not much of a dilemma, and that took away some of the fun that comes from watching a choice unfold. I kept waiting for something to complicate the decision or challenge the characters in a meaningful way, but it stayed very light. Cute, yes, but lacking a little of the spark that could have made it stand out.
Even so, the overall vibe was enjoyable, and I can see why readers find comfort in this world. The writing style is pleasant, the alien details are fun without being overwhelming, and Rivven is a sweetheart from start to finish. What really grabbed my attention though was the tease for Warden Hallum’s story. If that ends up being a grump meets sunshine romance with the OBGYN, I will be knocking people out of the way to get to it.

I adore this series of charming alien cowboys and the human women they fall head-over-heels for. That said, this one is not as good as the others in the series. The first few chapters were fantastic, full of emotion. And then?
Sad trombone.
It feels like maybe the author lost steam or found her attention had shifted elsewhere, and she just outlined the rest of the story. At a slim 185 pages, this is more novella than novel. There is essentially no action, I’d be hard-pressed to identify a climax because nothing really happens. There is very little character development for either lead. Little bits of their personalities and backstories brought up in early chapters go nowhere. The fish-out-of-water charm of each character discovering their completely novel new partner’s quirks that was a hallmark of the other books in this series is absent here. There is precious little in the way of affection or emotional connection between the characters, and even the smut reads like it’s been phoned in, and that’s rare for this author. There isn’t even an epilogue here to suggest a HEA.
Mostly, this novel reads like a set up for the next part of the series, and that’s a shame because these were characters that could have shone.

loved it
I really did truly love this book, I love the characters, etc. However, I felt kind of disconnected from the two main characters and I couldn’t tell you exactly why. I really do love this series though and as always there were so many laugh out loud moments and I did read it in a matter of like five hours, so.

This series is just a fluffy cloud of cotton candy for the soul 🥰 I love it so much. The men are so sweet and funny, I can’t even! And they are just so clueless about women and especially humans 😂
What was that? Do I think «What is kiss» is my favourite alien trope? Yeah, it is. I also love the honorary mention of jamdingos or whatever, and with the added bonus of a tuxeroni or something 😇 the translators aren’t all that accurate, which makes for fun (mis)translations with the aliens.
The women are great too. Strong and funny and sweet. Helpless against these sweet, ridiculous dingdongs.
I loved that there was two kinds of disability rep in this one as well!
The spice was spicing, as usual, but sweet as well. It is very insta lust/love, but ya know what? I don’t hate it. I actually just eat it up. In the back of my mind I’ve just decided there’s a mate bond thing going on, and that’s that 😇
Oh, and I can’t WAIT to get to Xenneth’s book 😂 he’s gonna be hilarious. A hyper, green himbo with lavender hair that’s actually super sweet? Sign me the fuck up ⬆️

I have never before cried during a sex scene. This book is a perfect example of intimacy actually servicing the story.
No big action set pieces in this one. It is an achingly sweet and contained romance.
This series hasn't missed with me yet.
More cowboy alien himbos! There's room for all of them in my heart.

These Zabrians are all total sweethearts and Rivven is no exception. He's sweet, caring, hardworking, and absolutely WORSHIPS Shiloh pretty much as soon as he meets her. No lie, I'm super excited that we're getting to spend more time with the different cowboys on Zabria Prinar.
So. Shiloh and Rivven. She's a human lady who's enraptured with the sky and landscape of the planet the first time she sees a picture of Zabria Prinar. Applying for the bride program seems like a no-brainer since she's currently out of a job (thanks to the gross foreman) and this planet offers opportunities she wouldn't otherwise have. That said, the fact she'd be marrying one of the men on the planet doesn't really hit Shiloh until she's met Rivven and realizes he's all in on this idea of marriage.
As for Rivven, he's trying not to get his hopes up with the first human woman coming to their zone, but Shiloh calls to him from the moment he sees her. She's suffering from a migraine, is barely aware of what's going on, and he wants nothing more than to comfort and protect her. His constant, gentle presence has her looking at him in a way she didn't expect to and it isn't long before she starts to realize this kind, incredible male might be the best thing that's ever happened to her.
A few adorably awkward moments, a couple of familiar faces (Tenn and Tasha!), a male who wants nothing more than to cherish the incredible woman who lights up his life, and a lady who finds more than a little creative inspiration on this wide-open planet! MAN, I like these sweet, awkward aliens!

Yeahhhhh, I’ll keep reading these until she stops writing them or I kick the bucket, whatever comes first. And even then I think I’d find a way to haunt someone with a Kindle so I could keep reading them.

Series: Cowboy Colony Mail-Order Brides #7
Rating: 4 stars - It was really good
Tasha, the human-Zabrian liaison, is determined to find all the single men on Zabria Prinar One. To start with she decides to create a calendar showing off the men, both married and single, and provide accurate information about the program this time. When Shiloh sees the calendar after getting fired from her job, she jumps at the chance to start a new life, even if it means becoming a bride.
Like the previous books in this series, I was instantly hooked on this story. Shiloh was a fantastic heroine who has been struggling for a long time. She lost her father and her dream of going to school for art. She has been struggling to make ends meet for a while now and the stress is causing extreme migraines. Shiloh was a woman I could really relate to as a migraine sufferer myself, and as someone who struggles under the constant weight of work with little reward (like most people these days probably feel). As the story progresses we see her really blossom and release the stress she has been under, which allows her to embrace her new life. I just really liked Shiloh and really related to her.
Rivven is our one handed bartender who realizes he really wants the chance to have a wife. I really loved Rivven. He was sweet, protective, and took such good care of Shiloh. These men have never dealt with headaches or migraines before but Rivven does everything he can to support and help Shiloh through hers, which I really loved about him.
Rivven and Shiloh’s relationship was so freaking sweet. Shiloh is supposed to get to know all the men before choosing but from the beginning she is instantly smitten by Rivven. I really enjoyed how these two got to know each other and fell so hard and fast. It was just adorable. Also, I liked that there were no hard feelings from the other men and that they were excited that one of them had found a wife successfully. They are just a very supportive found family and I love it.
Overall, this was another fantastic book for this series. I continue to love all the couples and can’t wait to see more men find wives.

I really enjoyed Rivven and Shiloh‘s story! I thought it was really sweet and I loved being back in the world and seeing peeks at all the other couples (especially through the group chat). Absolutely adored the ending as well. I would have loved for it to be longer so we could see more of them falling for each other and building their life together, but that’s just a me thing. I would watch this series as a weekly TV show if I could! Thank you Ursa for the advanced copy, all opinions are my own ❤️

A cute read about a blue alien saloon owner on a penalty. colony and the down on her luck human woman who chooses him as her husband. Rivven really was a sweetie

If you asked me to explain the plot, I won't be able to, because there was no plot. One thing about ursa dax is she writes good spice. Other than that the story had no resistance, no nefarious side characters, no will they won't they, nothing to create an excitement. The only good thing is Darcy is pregnant. I swear that girl is my favourite<3

This seemed really short and consequently did not give the characters much time to form any sort of chemistry. I’ve liked the other books in the series, but this one was a bit disappointing as it did a lot of telling instead of showing. However, I will say that I appreciate the author not focusing on the MMC’s disability as a major plot point.

Very very very cosy but I feel I need some more drama in the plot line like some of the previous books! I think the next one will be more suited to me!!
