So I Married an Alien 2

Mail-Order Alien Grooms #3

by Lyonne Riley

What's a girl to do when she's beautiful and successful, but lonely deep down inside? She gets herself an alien husband, of course!



Marguerite lives two during the day, she's a high-powered marketing executive, and at night, the party hostess with all the friends she could want. But in a world where the only remaining human men are in high demand, she's tired of feeling used and expendable. So she applies to the Galactic Matching Program, hoping someone special will come from the stars.



Prince Jaka left his jungle home world to find his zurali, a mate for life, without his royal heritage sullying it. Earth is full of strange technological mysteries, but none so lovely as his new human wife. She may seem cold on the outside, but Jaka can sense she's a tender woman deep down just waiting to be loved.



Can he survive the concrete jungle and break through Marguerite's high walls to find true love?

Oh wow I loved Jaka so much
This was such an easy read!
Not that Lyonne Riley ever lets me down LOL I have loved these Mail order groom books and was so happy to see the others in this too!
Marguerite was fed up of being on her own after both of her friends married aliens so she got her own alien!
She just wanted someone to love and for someone to love her and Jaka definitely fits the bill, he was all in as soon as he saw her!

Ummmm so where can I get myself an alien husband?!

Lyonne you’ve done it again you rascally woman! Making me fall for another paranormal creature and I am 100% here for it!! 😍😍

Jaka and Marguerite were the definition of sweet and spice, golden retriever and black cat, literally and metaphorically (literally, it’s too cute!)🤣 Their dynamic is so sweet how you see Marguerite’s walls from her prior relationship and the journey Jaka takes to slowly chip away at her hard exterior, one leather loincloth at a time🤣🥴

And the spice scenes👀👀 I’ve never been one to truly understand what the big deal about a knot is, but with this one… I see the appeal now😳😏 Marguerite girl, I’m glad you got to enjoy yourself!

Overall I gave this story a 4/5 ⭐️ only because I just truly wanted more! I also semi felt that the story was rushed towards the ending and felt that if expanded upon it could have reached a feeling of tension that would have been both tantalizing but also would have enraged us as readers so much more, that when the HEA did hit a wave of relief would have washed over us.

Marguerite and Jaka were everything I wanted them to be and more! I loved Jaka's name for her, Ma-gee, and that she grew to love it too 🥰 This novel has a bit of everything (I've added some tropes below), but getting to read about the two MCs adapting to their new life in the marriage trial was really sweet. Jaka was head over heels for Marguerite and I was so happy that he hated the one guy just as much as everyone else if not more ☠️

🌶️🌶️1/4 - slightly more than medium spice, quite a bit of explicit content with unusual anatomy, knotting, and aphrodisiac venom
1st person, dual POV

These two truly were opposites in so many ways. Marguerite was a wary pessimist to Jaka’s open optimism. She was a city girl to Jaka’s jungle boy 😜 and a black cat to his golden retriever. These differences complimented each other so well.

I also loved the culture barrier element. Jaka trying to figure out human sayings, “mechanical beasts”, and basic etiquette made for so many comedic moments. I laughed very loudly at a couple of scenes 😂

The praises sung for Mexican food throughout this series really speaks to me and what a neat ending we got! I’m very curious to see what happens next in the series.

Thanks to the author for the advance copy 💝 Releases November 13th!

[Lynn_G · Rating 4.5 out of 5]

A very cute, very steamy novella about Jaka, a catlike alien mail order groom who’s matched with Marguerite, an exceptionally competent and no nonsense human advertising executive. Jaka is guileless and artless, and even though he’s royalty back on his planet, he wants nothing more than to be loved for himself, not his lineage. Marguerite has been passed over for promotion yet again in favor of a man (they’re rare on earth in this canon) and not just any man, but the lying lothario who tried to convince her they were exclusive while he was shagging other women all over the country.

There are plenty of fish out of water moments for Jaka, as well as appearances from characters of previous books in the series, and a long overdue reckoning with Marguerite’s ex. I would’ve liked a more just ending for his character, with legal repercussions, but that’s simply my personal preference.

I received an advance reader copy from the author, and I’m sharing my honest review.

[Chelsea Johnson · Rating 3.5 out of 5]

Thank you to Lyonne Riley for an eARC for this book for review. Thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was pretty cute!

Short read overall, and while it is book 3 in a series, it does standalone so if you haven't read the first two (like me), you won't be lost. That being said, I do want to read the previous books (and any future installments)!

On the one hand, I did understand Marguerite's character. On the other, the way she treated Jaka at the beginning was a little frustrating. She got so frustrated that he didn't automatically know all these Earth things but she also never bothered trying to teach him anything until it became a problem. I just wish she'd tried a little earlier or at least had some kind of "oh, right" type moment but we never really got that. I did feel for her in the Brandon situation, but also, she could have talked to Laura. It's unfortunate it had to get to the point it did but at least Laura had her back and didn't hide anything.

Jaka was a weird mix of feral and sweet and it just worked. The "feralness" was understandable, considering where he came from. And I did laugh a little at the way that translated on Earth. The whole squirrel chase was probably entertaining to watch. I did like how he tried so hard to make Marguerite happy and how he started reading the little things too. Sometimes he went over the top (squirrel, climbing the building, the flowers), but at least when he realized it, he'd try to make it right. I liked the friendship he developed with the other husbands. I would have liked a little more about his sister because it was clear they were close but I liked his being there for her.

I love how So I Married an Alien 2 exists in the same world as the last two books, builds on them and expands it, and is still a super different story!

Jaka is by far the risk-take-iest of the alien husbands so far -- somehow the least technologically adept one gets the wife with a smart home, haha. My heart was in my throat when he ran all over people's roofs and backyards, picked their garden flowers, and then went up a skyscraper! And I really liked having a more sceptical FMC this time. She’s strong, stubborn and doubtful, but when she sees something true and decides it’s for her, she doesn’t stay locked into being a character -- she actually follows her heart. I loved that.

The Mail-Order Alien Grooms universe still feels lighter than a lot of the sci-fi romance I gravitate toward, but Lyonne somehow keeps making it feel deep and rich without making it heavy.

Each book we get to explore a completely different alien culture and relationship dynamic while the larger universe keeps unfolding around us as we read.

There’s still that intriguing darker undercurrent to the Galactic Matching Program, too. The more we see of the worlds it reaches, the more questions I have about exactly what the matchmaking alien(s) -- or is he working alone?? -- are doing out there.

Also: Jaka meeting a friendly cat? Is that what we call golden retriever energy? 😂 I can't wait for fanart of that moment!

Excellent ending, too! I am so ready for MORE BOOKS.

Spice: 3🌶️
Tropes: alien x human • earth needs males • arranged marriage️ • learning technology • knotting and extras

So I Married an Alien 2 is the third book in Lyonne Riley's Mail-Order Alien Grooms-series. Yes, it confused me too 🤣

The story still feels fresh even if it's the third book with the same setting. This story introduces an alien from a society almost devoid of technology. He is used to hunting his own food in the jungle. Something the squirrels of the city do not appreciate (btw, trigger warning here. Take care of your mental health 💙)

Unfortunately, the book didn't hit the same high notes as the previous two books of the series for me. It was fine, but not exciting. A bit lackluster.

I think my opinion may have been somewhat tainted by my dislike for the female lead, Marguerite. She applies to the program and then seems like she's terribly inconvenienced by the alien, Jaka, showing up. She doesn't seem to have the patience to help Jaka learn to live in a new society, while at the same time heaping all of her former - and current - issues on Jaka's back. Yeah, no, that didn't sit right with me.

Jaka, the male lead, however? Loved him! So sweet. He tries so hard and fails just as hard. But then again, with friends like the other alien males, who needs enemies? 🤣

This book is for you if you are looking for a sweet alien trying his very best to navigate a new world while trying hard to be perfect for his wife.

[Jo · Rating 3 out of 5]

In the beginning of this series I adored it. It was exciting, new, and flipped stereotypes. But this addition had me frustrated so many times. I found Marguerite’s attitude towards Jaka’s otherness extremely off-putting. At times I was really puzzling why she signed up if she was going to take such issue with differences.
The continuation of just telling aliens that’s how they have to do it to fit in/be normal is lazy on the part of the wives. Teach your husbands why these expectations exist! Work with Jaka to find comfortable clothing that he won’t melt while wearing!
How have these women not told their husbands about personal property boundaries? Especially after the tree incident in the previous story? Not to mention that the Earth-living aliens should have known better by now. Especially given the tree trimming jobs!
I appreciate how Marguerite came around to Jaka pretty quickly and was very accepting of major things that happened. She really did handle a couple unexpected sexual situations and skyscraper moment really well!
I HATED the conclusion with the bad guy though. It loathed how it was handled and if I wasn’t reading this as an arc I would’ve dnf’d at that point. It was very dissatisfying.
The relationship ended up being great and I liked them together.

Thank you Lyonne Riley for this ARC. This review contains my own opinion and personal thoughts on the book.

[Jillian · Rating 4.5 out of 5]

This fun sci-fi romance is the third installment in the Mail-Order Alien Grooms series of interconnected standalones.

FMC Marguerite is an independent woman, but in a world with very few remaining human men she takes a chance on the interstellar matchmaking program and ends up in a trial marriage with alien MMC Jaka. But he knows nothing of human culture or high-tech society, and oh yeah, he kind of looks like a cat.

I really liked this book and read it cover to cover. Right off the bat, their different personalities were delightful. She is tough and no-nonsense, and he's a floofy cinnamon roll, instantly a smitten kitten. I wouldn’t call it slow burn, but they take things slow. They have to figure out their new relationship together, which makes their relationship feel earned. And as fluffy as that all sounds, there is a perfect mix of relationship development, fun with past characters, and outside conflict, making for a great read. And bonus for me, big tough MMCs not understanding human stuff is one of my favorite micro-tropes.

A fantastic read and perfect addition to the series! I can’t wait to see what happens next. There are certainly a few side characters I would love to see get HEAs.

[Tima · Rating 4.25 out of 5]

4.25 stars. This story is dual POV, well written and edited, and a sweet and steamy, arranged marriage, he falls first, cultural differences, black cat/golden retriever, alien on Earth, sci fi romantic comedy between Marguerite, the female human marketer lead, and Jaka, the male feline humanoid lead, desiring to find his soulmate. I enjoyed the contrast in personalities between Jaka’s enthusiastic openness and Marguerite’s more reserved approach. I enjoyed Marguerite’s organised and focused mindset contrasted with her desire for genuine companionship and her openness to someone new. I enjoyed Jaka’s determination to make their relationship work, and his efforts to integrate into human society. I enjoyed the steamy intimate scenes, and the build up within those. I chuckled at the input from Marguerite’s friend’s alien husbands (characters in previous stories in the series) and the chaos that ensued, but adored the found family feel and the genuine desire to help. I enjoyed the comeuppance for Marguerite’s ex and wish that happened more often in real life. I enjoyed the final focus on a life built together.

ARC Review
So I Married An Alien 2
(Mail-Order Alien Grooms #3)
Author: Lyonne Riley
Release Date: November 20, 2026
Genre: Monster Romance, rom-com
Tropes: Aliens, Fated Mates, MF, Forced Proximity
This is the 3rd book in the Mail-Order Alien Grooms series. I don’t know how she does it, but LR has come right out of left field with a new way to get the girlies excited. The aphrodisiac venom, come on! That was so great and loosened the prickly FMC right up. I felt like Jaka gave us the first ‘wild’ out of his element alien, coming out of the jungle and needing his translator to understand a lot of things. Being freaked out by technology. Primitive by nature. Anytime he was in a vehicle or had to wear pants cracked me up. I liked how the relationship wasn’t insta-love and that the FMC was more hesitant than most, it made the story more interesting and added a little bit of angst.
I recommend reading the first 2 books in the series, while it can be a stand alone there are characters from the previous novellas.

A cozy, spicy rom-com that will leave you grinning!

Jaka is such a sweetheart! He takes one look at Marguerite— Ma-gee, as Jaka calls her— and is captivated, and from then on all he wants is to be everything she needs. He’s sweet and earnest, and the way he tries to prove himself to her is so endearing. I loved that he wants a mate for who he is, not for his title. Prince Jaka left his home world so that his royal heritage wouldn’t be what drew a wife to him.

Marguerite is the perfect match for him. She’s polished and guarded, and after her terrible ex, her walls are higher than the skyscraper she works in. (Seriously, he sucks, and we all hate him.) Underneath it all, she’s tired of feeling lonely and just wants to be loved instead of treated like she’s not worth keeping.

I enjoyed watching Jaka climb those walls and break through her defenses. The banter and cultural mix-ups were fun, and the spice was spicy! A great read if you’re looking for something heartfelt, funny, and charming.

ARC REVIEW

This is the third book in the Mail-Order Alien Grooms series and possibly my favorite. Marguerite is a boss bitch 💅🏼 but is tired of being strung along and mistreated by the dudes left on Earth. And seeing two of her best friends find love, companionship, and happiness through the alien match making service has made her realize how lonely she feels. Jaka, a prince on his home planet, is hoping to find love with someone who doesn’t know his royal status in the hopes of finding a mate without any aspirations associated with his political status. He is a big softy (literally and figuratively 🐱) and is the perfect match to Marguerite’s prickly exterior.

If you love:
- Black cat/golden retriever energy
- Alien husbands really just trying their best
- Creative alien anatomy, spicy (and primal) exploration, and mating venom 😏
- Strong independent FMC learning to trust, be loved, and rely on her partner 🥹

*mind the triggers

Thank you to the author for the ARC! ✨

I love this newest addition in this series. When I read these books, it makes me fall in love more with the "miscommunication trope". Jaka trying to understand why he could not just wear his loincloth and had to wear pants is funny. Although, the funniest is when he and Ma-gee, this is what Jaka calls Marguerite; go to the tailor to be fitted for pants. Jaka protecting his sensitive area and telling the tailor that his package is for his wife made for a funny scene. Also, Jaka is a lightweight when it comes to alcohol. Beware the cusomapelitan aka cosmopolitan.

It was nice to see the other couples from the previous books make appearances in this book. This is such a fun read. I loved every moment of it. I just wanted to give Jaka a hug. The chemistry between Ma-gee and Jaka is a sweet heat. Sign me up for the program as I want my own alien husband. This book is out of this world a must read!

[Bookfairymel · Rating 4 out of 5]

I personally love cat type aliens so this was a real treat for me. Jaka was sooo cute! He was so eager to please and learn and do whatever it took for Margie to be comfortable with him. Even though he had some weird tendencies, as aliens usually do, I couldn’t help but fall in love with him. Margie was definitely a hard nut to crack but I understood why she acted that way. The need to be perfect, put together and untouchable got in the way of finding true happiness. Not to mention the men left were truly horrible, especially Brandon. Jaka was just what she needed to open up and finally be happy.

Jaka also had some very interesting hardware to work with. Between the knot and the barbs that worked like an aphrodisiac, it was definitely a fun time. I also liked the primal biting and the way Jaka would hold her down, that was a first for me! Overall I think it was a fun, lighthearted read just like all the other books in the series.

MARGUERITE is a businesswoman wo is tired or the earth males. She decides to sign up on an alien match maker site.
JAKA is from Solaya and is on his ay to earth his to meet the female for him and his zurali. He is a prince of his people but is keeping it quiet from Marguerite.
They meet for the first time in a room after his ship lands. They make their vows to each other then leave. The cultural discrepancies start after they leave the room. Cars and the music she plays and the city. He is use to his loincloth because on his planet that is all he wears.
Now the real world starts. The differences are intense. They each have to learn about the other and it feels like an uphill battle. The unfortunate thing is she has low expectations which she's learned from earth males. Will they be able to get on the same page to their relationship or will her mantra prove true?

*I received this eARC for free in exchange for my honest review.*

Thank you to Lyonne Riley for sending me an ARC for the next installment in the Mail-Order Alien Grooms series. I've read all of the other books in this series and have really enjoyed them, so I was very excited to receive this one!

We finally get to see Marguerite with her own alien husband after Amara and Fiona get their matches. Marguerite and Jaka are definitely in the opposites attract category but it was nice to see someone as independent as Marguerite finally be able to relax and let her guard down around someone. Jaka is so sweet and willing to learn and adapt to Earth customs from the beginning to make their relationship work.

Overall, this was a short fun read and I can't wait to see if there will be more books in this series.

👽👽ARC REVIEW👽👽

This series has very quickly become my favorite by Lyonne Riley! I love the idea of earth not having a bunch of human males and them being replaced slowly by loving alien mates.
Jaka is not your average looking alien, her looks more like a cat and has some interesting cat like qualities and appendages. 👀 Regardless, I love this mans so much! He’s so protective of his wife Marguerite and balances her out perfectly.
Marguerite is so easy to relate to. I appreciate how strong willed she is and how she doesn’t take shit from anyone.
If you like weird peens, kn0tting, fated mates and teaching an alien himbo to kiss you’re going to LOVE this book! Thank you Lyonne for having me on your ARC team and for sending me this book, it really rewired my brain and put me in a good mood 💖

This book has:
Some slice of life, clubbing, and emotional/physical connections, everything I love about this entire series.

I loved Jaka and Marguerite. Jaka was sooo sweet and sincere. I really liked his home world and his culture. Marguerite came off a little uptight, at first I wasn’t sure about her even though I knew her personality from the previous books in the series. However, by the end of the book I really liked her. And completely related to having a super stressful job and feeling overworked. Jaka really brought out Marguerite’s softer side and was there for her through a really difficult situation. He made her feel safe and that was so sweet to read. They ended up making the perfect pair.

This is my honest review in exchange for an ARC. Thank you to the author so much for letting me review the book! I really enjoyed it!

Thank you to the author for trusting me with an advance copy.

I have read most of Lyonne Riley’s books but this was my first foray into her Aliens series. The concept was interesting - a virus has killed off most of the men on earth and women are turning to alien mail order husbands as a result.

Marguerite is a high powered professional who wants a real connection and someone to see her and love her.

Jaka is an alien prince with feline features, who leaves his planet in search of his fated mate - someone to love the male not the prince.

Horrible ex turns up in the work environment, but Margie and Jaka work things out to a HEA.

There is hunting, licking, knotting and venomous barbs that make all the difference - delicious steamy alien adventure.

I LOVED THIS OMFG!!!! Whenever I feel a slump coming on, I know I need an alien romance to pick me back up.🥵🛸

This pairing was also pure perfection. A naive, goofball alien prince marrying a no-nonsense ice queen made for such a fun matchup. I loved how patient Jaka was with Marguerite and how she let herself relax and unwind with him… and the spice? *fans self* oh my. So many new things I've never read about that I will now be seeking out! 😳

And the final act of revenge on her shitty ex-boyfriend at the end really was the cherry on top of this amazing alien romance cake!

Highly recommend picking up So I Married an Alien 2 if you're looking for a quick, arranged marriage alien romance where the alien has a *different* set of equipment. I need to read more from this series ASAP!!!

[Mood in Between pages · Rating 4 out of 5]

A sweet, fun, comforting alien romance built on a cold-hearted heroine and a husband with pure golden retriever energy. He never doubts for a second that she's his mate, while she hesitates, guarding her heart. But it doesn't take long before she realises he's the one she's been longing for. Watching her thaw is the best part of the book.

The villain is her ex-boyfriend, who wants to ruin her. My one complaint is how he was handled. His behaviour deserved something much worse, but I guess the heroine is kinder than I am.

Still, a cozy, warm read if you love devoted heroes and slow-melting heroines with a satisfying ending. 💛

A Sweet and Refreshing Read!

This was such a cute, enjoyable little read! I’ve always loved Lyonne Riley’s writing, and this book was no exception.

Sometimes you just need something lighthearted and refreshing between heavier books, and this was the perfect palate cleanser.

One of my favorite things about Lyonne’s stories is how lovable her characters are. They’re always so sweet and easy to enjoy, and this book had that same charm I’ve come to expect from her writing.

Overall, this was a quick, adorable read that left me smiling. Lyonne Riley continues to be an author I enjoy coming back to, and I’m always looking forward to reading more of her work!

What a sweet and easy read this was.

Jaka is such a sweetheart , I did feel for him trying to get used to his strange new life.
Now onto Marguerite she is independent and likes to keep her life in order so she is not used to anyone else caring.
However she was quite irritating at times with how dismissive she seamed and down putting of what Jaka is used to and his customs. It may have been my reading but I found her quite hard and dismissive in those occasions she just wants him to instantly drop everything he is and be more ‘normal’.

I enjoyed this between other genres, it has cosy vibes without too much outside drama.

Marguerite is lonely on Earth and has decided to apply for an alien husband. Her new husband is Jaka, who is eager to find true love on Earth with a mate.

This was a fun read! I really enjoyed seeing Jaka break through Marguerite's walls. She was very tough on him in the beginning, but they seemed well suited to each other. I loved how Jaka adjusted to Earth and developed his own unique quirks as he learned how humans live. And the spice was everything - their slower burn chemistry was off the charts!

I recommend this if you enjoy strong and independent FMCs, funny and sweet MMCs and cozy reads.

[Samantha · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was already a fan of Lyonne Riley's "Mail-Order Alien Grooms" series and was thrilled when this third installment became available for pre-order.

I absolutely adored this sweet and spicy romance. Jaka (MMC) was endearing and earnest in a way that pulled me in. Riley did a great job in showing Jaka draw Marguerite's (FMC) softer side through her cold "working girl" exterior. Their relationship is so sweet and warm in the end.

Readers of this series probably already expect the exotic Alien spice and anatomy that comes with Riley's writing. However, first-time readers should be warned. But, the spice is so good!

I highly recommend this entire series!

ARC review:

OMG……so good! I love this dystopian like world where there are very few men and women are looking for love throughout the universe.

Ma-gee, as one would call her, is a strong independent woman with a horrid ex that just won’t go away. She marries Jaka and learns just how a woman should be treated….utterly adored. They learn about each other and learn to work and live together and learn to love each other.

Definitely spice that builds up to full combustion. The barbs, the peen, the aphrodisiac venom and of course the knot. Love it all.

[Kitm0nster · Rating 5 out of 5]

I empathize with Marguerite so much, having also been passed over for a promotion only for it to be given to a man! The office drama is strong in this one, with Jaka being the calm in her storm.
I loved that all of the alien husbands immediately bonded and brought the right amount of chaos and human cultural explanations to the mix.
