Zeke
When I find Mercy unconscious on the side of the mountain, I know I want to take care of her forever.
So I take her back to my cabin — bathe her, feed her, nurse her back to health, and soon I’m taking care of all her needs.
I may have rescued her, but tonight, she’s saving me.
Will the woman I’ve traveled through galaxies to find stay and be mine? Or will she leave me broken and alone once the storm has cleared?

Just when I think I’m going to die on that mountain, somebody saves me — a gorgeous, hulking mountain man with big warm hands, glowing green eyes, and an enormous heart.
Zeke takes care of my body and soul in ways I didn’t even know I craved and now never want to end.
But I’m not who he thinks I am. I have a secret past that’s about to catch up with me and ruin everything.

I received an advance copy of this book from the author. This review reflects my honest opinion.
This was a very quick and entertaining read.
The story moves fast from the very beginning, and it’s easy to get pulled into the premise. Since it’s a novella, the pacing is naturally high, with the relationship developing quickly through instant attraction and plenty of tension between the characters.
What made the book especially fun for me was Zeke’s inner monologue. His thoughts and the way he expresses himself had me laughing more than once. There’s a playful charm to his character that keeps the story light and entertaining.
The book builds with a lot of playful sensual tension between Mercy and Zeke. While the tone stays fun and light for most of the story, the spice becomes more detailed toward the end, particularly during the intimate scenes where Zeke’s dirty talk adds an extra layer of heat.
I also enjoyed the small nostalgic touches from the early 2000s setting — things like landlines give the story a slightly retro feel that adds to the charm.
Because the book is short, everything happens quite quickly, but that’s part of its appeal. It’s the kind of story you can pick up when you want something high-paced, fun, and a little bit sexy without committing to a long read.
Overall, this was a fun, cozy alien romance novella that made me laugh and left me curious to read more from this author in the future. I’d definitely pick it up again when I’m in the mood for a quick, entertaining escape.
Yay! Another alien mountain man who is putting all other men to shame 😋
Our alien mountain man this time around is Zeke, who is a bit of a recluse. But when Mercy gets stuck out on her mountain hike in the middle of a storm, he comes to her rescue and saves her, only to discover that she is his Starmate.
Mercy knows exactly what she wants as soon as she meets Zeke—and it’s him. Zeke fights it for the tiniest moment but eventually gives in to the pull of her. These two were so spicy together; honestly, Zeke’s dirty talk was everything!
Go read it now! Have some sweet and spicy fun that will have you hunting for your very own alien romance 🥰
Tropes: 🛸 Knight in shining (alien) armor 🛸 Ex-galactic military starship medic 🛸 Insta-lust & Insta-love 🛸 Set in the 00s 🛸 Secret past 🛸 He takes good care of her 🛸 Fated Starmates 🛸 Short, sweet and spicy!
This alien mountain man romance is undeniably cute. The reclusive hero rushing out to rescue and heal his star mate makes for a very sweet and engaging setup, and his struggle to accept the bond—especially because she’s from another species—adds a nice emotional layer. However, I had a hard time with the heroine. She keeps an important secret about still being legally married, even though she knows how significant and binding the star mate bond is for him. Since he values that bond so deeply and has never had a true relationship before, this felt like a real betrayal and made it difficult for me to fully enjoy the romance. Overall, it’s a sweet concept with a heartfelt core, but the character dynamics didn’t fully work for me.

This is a cute little novella. I read it in an hour. The book is in dual POV and is HEA. Zeke, who is an alien, finds his star mate, Mercy, hurt in the woods. It’s set in the early 2000’s which makes it light and so much fun!
I loved the way Stormy went with the characters.
FMC: Mercy has had a bad relationship in the past and a secret that makes her cautious. She is a sweet, beautiful human girl.
MMC: Zeke is an interstellar doctor just trying to survive in his mountain home.
I wasn’t sure if I was going to like the whole alien/human troupe, but it was a super cute paranormal love story full of flashbacks to my youth. I absolutely loved the part where Zeke is glowing. LOL!
I was given an advanced reader copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review. Thank you for a great read, Stormy O’Hara.
This book had me screaming “Help, I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” - but sadly no sexy alien mountain man has come to rescue me yet!
I love Stormys short novellas they always bring the heat. I will say this always I wish they were longer but that’s only because I love her characters and I always want to see more of their stories.
Mercy is our FMC - she goes hiking alone, with a dead phone and a pending storm. A recipe for disaster am I right?! She gets hurt and is unable to walk. Zeke is our hot mountain man and he hears her calls for help - could it be? She’s his starmate?
Pick up the book and find out for yourself. If you like instant chemistry, a little danger element and the perfect amount of spice - then this one’s for you!
I knew I loved Zeke the moment he was mentioned in the previous novella. A broody doctor with a touch of awkwardness is sexy AF (my type!). And his whole “oh well, she can find out about that weird alien thing later” moment absolutely cracked me up 😂 I actually laughed every time he mentioned his glowing part 😂😂 These novellas are hilarious! But seriously, I love seeing a woman escape an abusive relationship only to be loved by a possessive, protective man. Good for you, Mercy!
This is my ARC review for this novella, and now I’m patiently waiting for Clara and Knox’s novella.
P.S. I’m so glad I’m part of Stormy O’Hara’s ARC team.
Rescued by the MT Man from Outer Space by Stormy O'Hara is a short and spicy novella guaranteed to please. Mercy works at the local bakery and enjoys hiking on hercday off. She twists her ankle, though, and is trapped on the trail. Alien Zeke works for Cosmic Cabins, hears Mercy's internal pleas for help, and races to save her. Immediately the two realize they've found their true mate. Mercy's abusive ex husband is quickly taken care of, and he reveals they are starmates. Love this author's stories.

Rescued by the mountain man from outer space. Another alien novella from Stormy O’Hara. It did not disappoint! I’m loving meeting each mountain man and see their relationships blossoming. This time we meet Zeke. He went out into a storm and found his star mate injured.
Mercy is just trying to have a fresh start. Goes hiking and gets stuck in a storm. She meets Zeke and he is exactly what she wants and she really shows him what she wants.
The cute comments, dirty talk and the moment when Zeke protected Mercy was just so cute. It makes me want to look for a mountain man for a friend 😉
Sometimes you just need a short, smutty read to recalibrate before diving back into real life, and Stormy delivers every single time. Rescued By The Mountain Man From Outer Space was exactly the spicy escape I was hoping for.
Zeke is the awkward, thoughtful alien who turns into a fierce protector, and Mercy is just trying to rebuild her life after leaving an abusive relationship. Together, they’re the sweetest, most unexpectedly perfect pair.
I loved their chemistry, and Stormy’s signature blend of heat and humor hits every time. This whole alien mountain‑man series is fantastic.
'Full of early 2000s hot alien energy, Rescued by the Mountain Man from Outer Space is a small-town, spicy, cozy, fated mates, short, steamy, fast-burn alien paranormal romance.'
The characters were very appealing and likeable and perfectly steamy together. Plot was intriguing and exciting and well paced. World building was excellent and solidly drawn. Thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend.
Grab a copy, kick back and enjoy!.

Rescued by the Mountain Man from Outer Space was 100% hot from the start, and neither of them even tried to pretend otherwise.
The attraction is instant, mutual, and heavy in the best way. He’s protective, intense, and very aware of what he wants. She’s just as bold, just as drawn to him, and together? Combustible.
Fast, spicy, and fun. Stormy O’Hara really said “why slow burn when you can ignite immediately?” and I love it!
I loved the book; it's very short (you can read it in just over an hour), with a fast pace, but it doesn't feel like anything is missing. Of course, we're talking about super mega insta-love/destined couples (which I absolutely love!).
I liked Mercy/Marcy and Zeke as a couple, and the author's writing style is very dynamic and everything feels so natural.
I hope to read more about them, and I want to know Knox's story!
I received an ARC from the author, but my opinion is just my own.
Rescued by the Mountain Man from Outer Space by Stormy O’Hara. This is the third novella in the series and was my absolute favorite! I loved Zeke. This Novella was so good, full of spicy alien fun and a cute love story. I love Stormy’s novella’s they are always so unique fun and spicy! These mountain men from outer space are hot! If you are looking for a great quick read I definitely recommend her books!
Zeke is my new favorite alien! Mercy is lucky to have him. This book was another spicy, sweet, instalove, quick read. There isn’t as much build up in this one but it fits perfectly with their story. I felt like this one moved faster than the other novellas I've read from this author. BUT no complaints! keep them coming Stormy O'Hara! I am really attached to these hot alien mountain men.
Zeke is my fave so far. He Wes such sub awesome alien guy. When he rescued Mercy, he knew from that moment that she was the one. Taking care of her in every sense of the word 😉 was just too cute. I adored these two. But Mercy knowing how he felt about her and got much it brave for them to be mates. I wished she’d been honest from the beginning and her secret. But I loved this regardless. And spice 🥵 so freaking hot.
This was a really awesome quick read that for a short time took me away from my everyday reality to another place in which I could lose myself. It moves along at a really great pace which was perfect for the flow of the story. These characters are awesome, no matter what you will love them. This story is going to grab you and keep you interested and reading. You will not be disappointed, no doubt about it.
Zeke is the ultimate caretaker to Mercy in this quirky and quick read. Without a second thought he recuses and takes care of his star mate. Mercy doesn’t fight him at all instead she falls for him. I can’t blame her to be honest. Book three in this small town alien romance was another winner for me.
This is my favorite book in the series so far! An alien who feels like he's stumbling with the dirty talk, but rocks it because it's his starmate? Yes, please! I also loved the drama in this story!
One of my favorite quotes is from Zeke: Two hearts, two stars, two lovers somehow finding each other in a universe of lost, drifting souls.
This was a cute, adorable short read. It was cute, funny and spicy. I love the FMC wasn't scared to tell him what she wanted and even take it. He was just cute as can be wanting to take it slow. I can't wait to read the next one.

I just eat these short stories up, they are so nice and consistent and easy. If you want fun and shutting these are for you! The man MMC is an alien medic and the MFC is a waitress, trying to start over after an abusive relationship. I love how sweet they are and it ends on a happy ending. I just wish I could get more with each couple!
Mercy and Zeke Well this was a fun read. Lots of 90s, 2000s references which was fun. Zeke is such a sweetheart, Mercy is awesome. They were very honest with how they felt in the beginning. I enjoyed this story.

This was such a cute and spicy romance! Zeke is such a wholesome man, trying to respect her privacy while she is doing everything to let him know that she doesn’t want privacy! I’m loving this series and can’t wait for the next one!
If you're looking for cute spice with a protector, plot twist, lots of spice, and fated mates, look no further. I always get a little thrill out of the Mountain Men series, and this one was no different!
