Reestrian Mates #4
Boss Alien
Gina travels to Rahatha, the first Human-Reestrian settlement on Earth, hoping to land a new job and get a fresh start. The problem? The ad for an office job she answers specifically advertises for a hardworking male, and it takes a lot of convincing to get the huge, dangerously sexy, Mr. Jax, to hire her, on account of her having breasts. The other problem? Jax is the only unmated Reestrian in Rahatha, and he begins experiencing his mating urge during her first day on the job.
Jax starts up his hovercraft business in Rahatha, knowing his mating urge will strike him at any hour, and knowing he’ll probably have to venture outside of the enclosed city to find a willing mate. But then in walks Gina, with her delicious curves and soulful, dark brown eyes. She ignites his passion and makes his blood burn hotter than the sun of his home planet. Even before the urge to mate comes upon him, he decides he wants her and no other woman. He sets out to court her human-style, but somehow can’t get that right. She keeps turning him down, even though she’s always squirming and flushing in his presence. If only human females weren’t so complicated…

Frustrada con esta serie, no estoy sintiendo la vibra alien aquí
Boss alien de Sue Mercury serie Reestrian mates libro 4
Mí humilde opinión:
Jax es dueño de una empresa de flota de aerodeslizadores. El único reestriano no apareado en el asentamiento recién construido en la tierra. Una enorme ciudad llamada Rahatha, un refugio para que las parejas humanas y reestrianas vivieran y criaran a sus familias juntas.
Antes tuvo a Tias, su pareja elegida en Reestrian pero ella no había querido trasladarse a la tierra y terminó ofreciéndose como pareja a otro rompiendo su contrato de apareamiento.
Enojado y habiendo sido avergonzado públicamente, había dejado Reestria, inseguro de lo que haría cuando su impulso de apareamiento finalmente le llegara.
Entonces aparece Gina y su fiebre se dispara.
Gina llegó al asentamiento para un nuevo trabajo, ella es una empleada competente pero su jefe a ser es un gruñón malhumorado.
Pero ella está decidida a demostrarle cuán competente es. No puede regresar a su antiguo empleo dónde dejó un jefe mano larga.
Sin embargo Jax, es un Reestrian soltero, y cuando se da cuenta de que su impulso de aparearse se muestra ante ella sabe que está en serios problemas.
Esta serie se está enfriando para mí. No vi un crecimiento en lo que voy leyendo sobre el mundo Reestrian, la trama o los personajes. Siempre es igual y cuando hay un punto de acción, se apaga abruptamente, quedando en nada emocionante al fin de cuentas.
En Boss alien hay un intento de cambio con la fórmula romántica Jefe/empleada.
Jax y Gina no estuvieron mal pero al conocer tan poco de ellos y lo rápido que se mueve su relación de; no quiero salir con el jefe hasta tres días después sí quiero ser la pareja del jefe, tan de pronto no me da tiempo a creerles el amor más bien solo quedó en atracción.
Pero bueno, tengo que tener en cuenta esto de la fiebre del apareamiento y que luego de eso son instantáneamente almas gemelas lo que tampoco me convence de que se han enamorado.
Se vuelve aburrido, lo de la cita, lo de los regalos que ella colecciona en su oficina porque no quiere aceptarlos, hay un ataque de otros aliens que no me acuerdo el nombre pero suena parecido a "Italianos" pero lamentablemente la autora no quiere un giro distinto en esta serie, así que DE NUEVO la nave enemiga es repelida fácilmente por la de los Reestrians. Esto es aprovechado por Jax que lleva en brazos a Gina a un búnker bajo tierra donde finalmente ella no puede rechazarlo. Claro, porque si le dice que no él tendrá que buscarse a otra y ella no quiere eso...
Y esa es toda la historia, corta y con poca profundidad en todo, nada original sucediendo. Extraño el alien y la historia de amor en este tipo de género.
Me voy a seguir torturando con el siguiente libro. Es que soy muy buena, le digo dando oportunidades a esta serie.

Two days before relocating to Earth, Jax's intended mate left him to face life on an alien planet without her. With his mating urge fast approaching, he needs to find a human female to mate with or risk losing his mind. Luckily, Alice, a human female decides to set him up with her best friend, Gina, who's in need of a job. While Gina is an excellent secretary, poor Jax is more interested in her boobs and her luscious butt.
Okay, this had its moments, but it was too short and too insta. Save yourself the trouble. The following conversation was the funniest part of the story:
“You will go to lunch with me, Gina, and then I will buy you flowers on the way back to work.”“Excuse me?”“Then tonight I will take you to dinner and a movie. There’s a theater on the other side of the city, and I’ll make sure we get the best seats. I will hold your hand during the movie.”When she gaped at him in silence, he backed away a few steps, not trusting himself to keep his hands off her. He didn’t want to scare her by moving too fast, something Alice had warned him about. “I will walk you home after the movie and then kiss you thoroughly.”
Very generic, the kind of story you feel you've read before.

This is a quick little story about an Alien community where everyone is mated except for Jax. As soon as he sets eyes on Gina he wants her but not as an employee. Attempting to woo her in the human style of courtship he doesn’t realize the finer details of said courtship. Gina finds his attempts sweet and adorable and can’t deny she’s attracted to him.
This was cute but not a lot of story to it due to its length. Low angst and not all just sex. I enjoyed it!

This is a really short book, one that can be read while waiting at the doctor's office, or if you are just tired of reading supper long stories and want something quick and entertaining. The author does her best I believe in establishing the characters. Jax is the only single alien in the settlement and is soon to come to his time to find a mate of life or go permanently insane. The woman that he was supposed to mate with broke her contract with him after he left for Earth and took another mate behind his back. Thus the reason he is grumpy everyone around him is happily in love.
Gina is coming with and at her BFF's urging to take on the job as Jax's assistant though he had put in an add for a male. Gina had been having a hard time getting another a job after she had quit her last one because her boss would not keep his hands off of her. She told him what she thought of him and then he black balled her making it almost impossible to find another job. Add insult to injury her last boyfriend she had caught cheating on her.
She doesn't know what to think of Jax and his approaches to her. She doesn't know if he is sincere or just trying to get into her pants. For Jax though Gina's presents has started a chain reaction for him. But before they can make a decision there is an attack on the settlement from a violent new alien species. Will Jax get to her in time to rescue her? Will she or will she not bond with Jax and have the HEA. I guess you will just have to read it to find out.
I really enjoyed reading this book, and I like that it was a short love story. Sometimes you just need something like that and Sue Mercury did it for me in this book.

this one was pretty good. It was much sweeter than I expected it to be and that was a pleasant surprise. I do wish we had gotten to know the characters and maybe had a bit more background on the relationship between the humans and the Reestrians and what the similarities and differences are between them. I usually really enjoy that when I read an alien/romance book.. but all we got about Jax was that he was super hot and muscled. still it was very funny and sweet and I would recommend it for a quick read.

Quick sex filled read
She says no, but desires him. He desired her from the first meeting. Then they finally mate. Lots of sex with romantic word.s. In there somewhere was a little action with other aliens starting to attack, but they got destroyed very quickly. This is my first read of this author and series. I'll most likely give another book a chance, but all in all I found this book rather boring.

Short but good
I think I read the first one in this series. However it stands alone.
Hot and fast, Jax gets hit by the mating fever, as expected. Fortunately she shows up in his life at exactly the right time. Throw in some different alien bad guys, and we get the grand gesture that leads to the HEA.

This was a decent sci-fi romance for such a short story. It was a bit light on the world-building, not to mention the relationship-building between the two main players. But they were both agreeable characters, so it was nice to see them work out their issues before it was too late. I enjoyed this story enough that I will probably try another full-length story from this series at some point.

Short but good enough!
Like an half hour tear of a good show lol. It was a good book, instant love some danger a lot of awkward moments and the sex at the end. THAT was the real tease lol, get hot at the end how rude. If you like instant love and short stories pick up the book.

Not a bad story. I liked it but wished it was a bit longer. As this is the 1st one in this series I've read, I'll have to go back and get the others to read. I think I really should encourage others to read this series. It's very enjoyable.

Good story for a short one.
While I enjoyed the story, I do wished it had been a bit longer and more fleshed out. The heroine went quickly from not wanting him to joining with him. I have no idea why she fought it for the little bit she did.

Not my normal genre but something light hearted and romantic with arc can be a real treat. Gina learns the benefits for her new job can’t be beat

Not bad
This isn't one of this author's best books, but it isn't bad. It's a quick, light romance without a lot of serious plot, but that's what it's supposed to be.

This is the first book I've read from this author n item or going to be the last. Who knew that humans could become a mate of an Alien race.

Lonely to Love
Jax and Gina might be the only two single people in the town but if their friends have any say, not for long. I loved Gina's wit and Jax's patience.

Really liked Jax, Gina is quite sassy and confuses him a lot with her humanisms but they get there.

The Hookup
Jax hires Gina against his better judgement. Her coming to work for him sends him into his mating cycle right away.

I did like this but it did feel a bit rushed. Too short to be realistic like the other books of the series. I really liked Jax and wanted to know more about him. We really knew nothing except he had a hovercraft business, he was thrown over by a potential mate, and sort of a jerk sometimes. Otherwise we know nothing else. What hes really like or anything. In the other books there was more development. We even know more about Gina than we do him. He did a total 180 from when he first met her. I just couldnt buy it. It all happened way too fast to make sense. Sorry. This is the shortest in the series and it was a little disappointing because if Jax was developed better and this was as long as the other books it would have done so well like 5 stars for me anyways. Hope the next book is better.

Short but very Sweet ;)
I love these little stories, and as always I leave it liking the characters but wishing there was more story...
The idea and concept and characters here in all these stories would make such a great series if only there was more to it...
I always feel like Great Story !!! But soo very very badly needs more!!!
Would be soo awesome if there was , like the Katieran Prime Series by K D Jones...
Btw did you really write Owning His Bride ? I found be both the title and the synopsis upsetting :(
It s hard to believe someone could write such male aliens would write that... They to each there own but that book gave me the creeps :(
Really really enjoyed this book though ;)

Fantastic
Jax's story is my favorite, out of this series, so far. I loved his quick and efficient attempts at courting. I also liked Gina's quirky sense of humor. This is an excellent short story.
