When our otherworldly brothers arrive a last they expect a warm welcome…
Posey Quinn has always believed there was more to the world than what she can see. So when she arrives in Stargazer with her head full of conspiracies and high-end hairspray, she isn’t entirely surprised to learn that instead of donating eggs for tuition money, she is being asked to make an alien fall in love with her, and become an ambassador for humankind. What she doesn’t expect is how irresistible Bond is, and how hard it will be not to lose her own heart to the man who plays her body like a violin.
Bond is on Earth to fill one human female with as much pleasure as she can bear, a mission he’s finding very agreeable. But he’s not here to fall in love. Tasked with using his powers of human seduction to glean what he can about Earth and its inhabitants, Bond knows that if the planet’s resources are worthy and its residents aren’t, his days of pleasing Posey will soon be at an end.

dnf at 29%. Writing was good but the storyline was just a bit silly for me. 4 college students sign up to donate their eggs for money. They were rejected the first time but a year later they are accepted. They are told to travel to another town, which I thought was weird, and then when they show up, one of the girls Mom was there telling them that they are there to marry aliens and provide them families. Instead of the girls freaking out, they are all for it. It was just a bit too silly for me.

Bond by Tasha Black
Genres: Adult(ish), Sci-fi, Romance.
3 Stars
I found one error. There maybe others I missed.
The story is interesting but the flow/pace is off. It will go fast, then slow down, then pick back up again.
Honestly, Tasha Black normally writes better than this.
It is a cute and fun read. On occasion it becomes a bit repetitive, but not much. It needed more suspense and character build. All the characters came off a bit unfledged. If that trait had been used to bring more humor to the book it would have worked out better. Alas, this did not happen.
The romance part was kind of sweet. This is definitely NOT erotica. I would label it more 'New Adult', especially taking in consideration the age of the young ladies involved, their behavior and thoughts.
Last but not least, I liked it enough that I will be reading at least a couple more books in this series to see how it goes. If things don't pick up a bit more I will let the series slide down the slippery slope of my memories.

Honestly, this was a super quick read because the book was short. It was also weird.
Bond introduces us to Bond, Magnum, and Rocky. They are aliens, who look like humans, and they are looking for mates. Enter three friends: Posey, Rima, and Georgia. This book is mainly about Posey and Bond becoming intimate/mates but we do get to see everyone getting to know one another as well.
Remember how I said this was weird? Okay, so there's little competition between them and some people in Rima's hometown. They want them to leave like the weirdos they are and never come back. Whereas, Posey and the gang just want to be treated equally. Or ya know.. like they are all humans.
So they are at this festival where they compete in basically everything. The weird thing was the pie eating contest. Now I've never seen one or been in one.. but a hot sauce pie was just super weird. I think it had chicken as well.. but still - weird.
Other than that, the romance was cute and I was kind of expecting more. Maybe that happens in the other books of this series?

A fun sci fi romance with a difference. So often we get planets that need females and it can be a tad predictable. With this series the author has chosen to bring aliens to Earth who actually have to grow human bodies to inhabit. We are introduced to three young students who have all signed on for egg donation as a way to fund their way through college but they have no idea that any donation will be far from clinical !
This was sweet and actually a bit silly rather than sexy. Nothing like I expected which isn't necessarily a bad thing as it meant the author took time to entertain her readers with the unexpected antics of males unused to an actual physical presence. The three aliens are Bond, Magnum and Rocky and yes it's all very tongue in cheek although clearly this was written several years ago as it jokingly referenced a celebrity who unfortunately has hit the headlines recently for all the wrong reasons. So this would have been an amusing escape from reality if not for that

Mains: Bond and Posey Quinn – This is a M/F relationship between an alien hero and human heroine
(Descriptions found at end of my review)
Should I read in order?
This is the first in Black’s Stargazer Alien Mail Order Brides series.
Basic plot:
Bond is on Earth to study humans, Posey things she’s donating eggs….but really she’s becoming an alien’s girlfriend...
Give this a try if you want:
- science fiction romance
- contemporary setting
- Stargazer, Pennsylvania setting
- alien hero / human heroine
- elements of telepathy
- lower steam – I think there’s only one full scene in this one but it did feel like a shorter page count
Ages:
- didn’t catch either
First line: Taken from audio
It was happening again.
My thoughts:
I didn’t love this one. The references and jokes didn’t hit with me at all, and a lot of it just felt...weirdly dated? The whole plot was just a bit too strange to me. Parts were funny but overall this one was a flop for me. I think I needed a bit better world building first to get into the story/setting, it just felt random to me.
I even usually love Mason Lloyds narration and this one was just kinda bleh to me :( Maybe I'm in a mood.

I am Very Happy I only paid 99cents for this book.
Posey Quinn and her two college friends Rima Bhimani and Georgia are willing to donate there eggs to Aliens who have arrived on our planet!! Ok it does sound silly but I was looking for something funny to read and there were quite a few 5 and 4 star reviews saying how funny the story was. Well its not funny it boarder ridiculous and silly. Very immature and childish writing. Its certainly not comical. This the first time in a very long time I couldn't finish a story. But this dumb story is beyond the pale.
I Cannot Recommend Bond by Tasha Black!!

Bond: Stargazer Alien Mail Order Brides
Intergalactic Dating Agency
by Tasha Black
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This storyline is unique, interesting and exciting. This is a fantastic story that captivates the reader’s attention. The characters were great; it makes the story more entertaining. I couldn't stop turning the pages until l the story ended. You can read this Sci-Fi romance at your leisure when you settle yourself in your favorite place. I admire this author greatly, I feel she puts her heart and soul into her craft and this book is a fantastic example. The characters and worlds she builds are phenomenal to me. What I'm saying is that her collection of characters well formed and executed. The characters are hilarious and Sci-fi romance is nothing if not character driven. It’s great that this storyline has the emphasis on characterization, inner conflict, and relationships. In this storyline, you have two very different people coming together, learning each other, and falling in love. The two main characters Posey and Bond inspires us about love, self-acceptance and happiness, while just the names of the heroes will make you laugh. Reading this book gives the readers entertainment, relaxation, and escape. I really like this start of the series ; it’s like a treat at the end of a hard day. I really liked how Tasha made the introduction of the characters in this book as it made it easier to relate to them. I smile and laugh a lot while reading this Sci-Fi romance I enjoyed so much and every chapter was interesting. You won't be bored while reading this. And the characters are highly developed and you can feel their love.
If aliens arrive on earth do you think they want or expect a warm welcome. Posey Quinn is the one who always believed there is more conspiracies in the world than what we don't know. So when she arrives in Stargazer with her friends it's just what she could wrap her head around, instead of donating eggs, she is supposed to make an alien fall in love with her, and become an ambassador for humankind. Thank god Bond is gorgeous and irresistible. Bond is a handsome alien who has come to Earth to fill one human female with a lot babies and give her pleasure but he’s not here to fall in love.
I love this phase about the Stargazer Alien Brides series that Tasha put together : Come to Stargazer, Pennsylvania for the pancakes. Stay for the boys.
I found myself so connected to each and everyone one of the characters in some way or another. I felt their emotions just as they did. I know how great Tasha can write and with such a flow, but she has easily stolen my heart with this storyline, she has always been one of my Favorite Authors. Her characters have awesome depth, she builds her worlds with such detail, and the her storylines just make perfect sense. The length of the book is always just right. From the second you start reading you are drawn into the book and it keeps you going until the last page. I read this book in a night because I wanted to know what happened at the end. Now I'm excited about reading the next storyline. But I want you to know that this book is engaging, fantastic, lovable, and lots more romance! Beside amazing storyline and awesome characters this book has hot aliens. I adored everything about this book. I highly recommend it! If you love Sci-Fi romance, go and get your copy. Without reservations, I recommend this book. If you love a awesome alien romance with a lovable protective Aliens then this is certainly a awesome book for your library. I was gifted this book and this is my honest review.
If you believe in love in the world of Sci-Fi Romance, then possibilities are endless, but always fascinating!

Posey decided to donate her eggs and meets two girls who are now her best friends. Now a year later, they all get a call that it's time for the egg donation process. But when they get there they're told that they're going to become alien mates if they agree to this. Posey isn't sure if this is something that she wants to do, I mean they're aliens.
Bond is one of the aliens that Posey and her friends meet and he has his eyes on Posey as a mate but she hasn't agreed to this since she thought she would just be donating eggs.
The aliens had contacted Earth years before and had to grow human like bodies before they came here because their natural state is a gas one. Some of the town's people don't like the Dr. or the people that are at the building Posey, her friends and the aliens are staying in and they let the guys know it. Right from the beginning there seems to be some danger from some of the guys in the town. There are a couple of run-ins and confrontations so when one of the aliens challenges some of the town's people to the Fall Festivities Games, the bet is set to staying in town or leaving town and never coming back.
As the aliens and humans get to know one another it made me laugh at times because the aliens really were trying.
What follows is a fun and romantic tale of aliens getting to know the humans they've chosen and the humans getting to know the aliens but this is mostly about Bond and Posey and not her friends. They have their own books.

The aliens in this book are inventive. The aliens contacted Earth like 20 years ago, but they are made of gas. They had to grow a body a human body. I luv that!
Posey is the least to accept the lie because she is the conspiracy nut, but is the first to succumb.
This is a quick, easy read with some original ideas.

Three friends, Posey, Georgia, and Rima are chosen as egg donors and travel to rural Pennsylvania, a town called Stargazer. But not all is as is seems, since the girls are supposed to donate eggs while they’re still inside them, mating and letting themselves get impregnated by three gorgeous aliens, Bond, Rocky, and Magnum (yes, named after Earth’s “heroes”).
This is what you get reading a series written by various authors (especially authors you don’t know). It’s either hit or miss. I loved Cutlass, the first book in the Intergalactic Dating Agency series, and part of a different miniseries in the “larger” one, there wasn’t a thing I even remotely liked about this one.
The characters all acted like children (understandable for the aliens, but utterly unfathomable for the girls), the heroine was strangely fixated on her outer appearance (constantly griping about her BMI), for a book titled after the (alien) hero, the story mostly revolved around the heroine and her three friends, some elements of the plot were idiotic; like fixing the alien ship with honey (???) and the Fall Festival “battle”, the “villain” and the whole “suspense” subplot about Satan worship that degenerated into the let’s-pretend-to-be-members-of-an-old-religious-group spiel was maybe supposed to be funny, but wasn’t, and the romance (if I can call it that) was almost non-existent and completely unbelievable, since we barely spent time with the two leads to get to know them and see what was likable or lovable about them.
Template-y and formulaic, with flat, one-dimensional characters, slow, and with some elements so out of the left field that made the story feel almost like a parody or satire. Unfortunately, it took itself too seriously to garner any laughs.

I was given an ARC by the author to read,beta read and review in exchange for an honest review.
When aliens arrive, they expect a warm welcome…
Posey Quinn has always believed there was more to the world than what she can see. So when she arrives in Stargazer with her head full of conspiracies and high-end hairspray, she isn’t entirely surprised to learn that instead of donating eggs for tuition money, she is being asked to make an alien fall in love with her, and become an ambassador for humankind. What she doesn’t expect is how irresistible Bond is, and how hard it will be not to lose her own heart to the man who plays her body like a violin.
Bond is on Earth to fill one human female with as much pleasure as she can bear, a mission he’s finding very agreeable. But he’s not here to fall in love. Tasked with using his powers of human seduction to glean what he can about Earth and its inhabitants, Bond knows that if the planet’s resources are worthy and its residents aren’t, his days of pleasing Posey will soon be at an end.
Tasha Black never stops to amaze me.
She delivers another great story in the SYFY genre this time and she rocked it!!!
I really enjoed this story and laughed so hard through out the book and also got emotional and frustrated...(another talent of Tasha Black)
Bond's story is captivating and before you know it you are sucked int the story and living it with Posey and Bond.
Unique story line and well written characters ,aliens,humans ,pancakes and yummy moments.
Tasha Black adds another must must must must must must must must must must read in her list!!!!

An okay story about aliens coming to earth to mate with humans. Bond and Posey were interesting characters, but there were a lot of questions left unanswered. Putting that aside, it was a cute story.

Sorry, couldn't keep going. They lost me with the Mennonite thing...but the whole story is just so scattered and nonsensical.

Okay, so this was definitely much better than the 300 Moons series. Granted that was probably a spin-off and I basically just jumped in between but whateves.
After Bait This! from 300 Moons I wasn't actually going to give this a shot, total pass but I was bored and this was short. *shrugs*
Other than Posey being a total stereotypical blonde and the absolute ridiculousness of the plot, this was a fun read.
I wish there was more world-building but I say this pretty much about all alien romances, eh...

UPDATE: May 26, 2017: I just listened the audio and love it. Mason Lloyd is one of my favorite narrators. When he says Bond, to start some chapters it reminds me of "Bond. James Bond." It earns a smile every time. It earns a smile every time. I enjoy listening to a book sometime after reading it. I had forgotten the brother's names, Bond, Magnum, and Rocky.
Three college roomies and BFFs decide to do something for mankind, and their mounting college debt.
Only when they arrive in Stargazer, Pa., hometown to one, they learn that donating eggs isn't all, they are to be brides to the Aliens and represent Earth. Not going to happen as far a Posey is concerned. She takes care of herself and works hard to pay for school, she'd never miss a few eggs in exchange for making a financial dent in her bill, but an alien husband? No, not so fine. Well, Bond is fine, but that doesn't mean she wants to have his kids and be his wife.
They guys are on a mission and their fifties view of Earth living is a hoot. Are the women and men up to the challenges from the town? They sure are up for the women, but marriage? You will love this one and the humor, undertones of more than meets the human eye, but what? The guys and gals are all more than they seem. Once again the author has given us fun, incorporated her Tarker's Hallow in the story. Enjoy. I sure did, and can't wait for more.

Three college roomies and BFFs decide to do something for mankind, and their mounting college debt.
Only when they arrive in Stargazer, Pa., hometown to one, they learn that donating eggs isn't all, they are to be brides to the Aliens and represent Earth. Not going to happen as far a Posey is concerned. She takes care of herself and works hard to pay for school, she'd never miss a few eggs in exchange for making a financial dent in her bill, but an alien husband? No, not so fine. Well, Bond is fine, but that doesn't mean she wants to have his kids and be his wife.

You need to read this book and you will not be able to stop reading til the end and then you'll be sad cause there's more story to come and you have to WAIT!!! I've said/typed this before. Anything with Tasha Black as the author is worth every moment of your reading time!!!!! You cannot go wrong!!! There will be fun, laughter, surprises, sexy hot males, wonderful females, even tears and struggles. Her stories are AMAZING!! Every word and world she brings us is incredible! Characters so wonderful that they will stay with you. I adore how she ties several of her series together! It's like catching up with an old friend. (The Tarker's Hollow and 300 Moons series are favorites of mine. Ok what am I saying; they are ALL favorites!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! Oh and can I say how thrilled I was to get an ARC in exchange for this review. I've purchased her books and I would buy EVERY book this author has written if I financially could! Honest!!!

Holy hotness Batman! I want to go visit Stargazer, PA and get me some of those yummy famous Maple Pancakes with a side of Hot Aliens :D lol ... Ms. Black does it again with a new sub-genre to add to her amazing list of works in contemporary fiction! ... This romantic Sci-fi story has entertaining characters, like sexy, ripped alien men and curvy-girl earth women! ;) Another awesomely unique storyline, great descriptions, twists & turns to keep you on your toes, and always relatable characters & witty dialogue to keep those pages turning! :D ... I now have another new reading addiction & can't wait for more from this author & her tantalizing "Stargazer Alien Mail Order Brides" that is part of the 'Intergalactic Dating Agency' world :D ... Yes, I was fortunate to receive an ecopy in advance to read in exchange for my honest review, but I honestly do love this must read & highly recommend this to all fans of fiction :D

Posey attended college at Tarker's hollow and signed up for a program to donate her eggs to help pay tuition but didn't get picked what she did get was 3 best friends, Rima and Georgia.
The letters did come for her and her friends to come to Stargazer Pennsylvania and a hotel named Ground control to become egg donors.
When they get their everything is NOT what the girls thought. What was there were 3 aliens and they were not interested in their eggs. They wanted them. Soon Bond picked Posey.
Loved the characters on this there all so different, it was a great storyline. Easy going and smooth but there was a hint that something else might be going on besides 3 aliens finding mates. SyFy-tastic syfy fans this was a great read.
Book given for an honest review and I honestly loved it.

A sci-fi romance which stands out for a couple of unusual and unique plot concepts. First, the setting not only takes place completely on earth, but it's the alien's seeking out our world and culture to learn from and adopt or integrate into their own for a change. This is a fresh take on the whole alien/human matches and matings that happen in most sci-fi romances. Secondly, these aliens are beings of an entirely different creative evolution. Their original form is nothing close to solid flesh and blood, but are entirely ethereal, gaseous, soul inhabited beings. Some very interesting characteristics emerge about their day to day physical existence and how they interact with their surroundings. Truly imaginative!

Awesome read
I loved this book. It is book 1 in the series Intergalactic Dating Agency and is a stand alone book with a HEA. Posey is a college student needing money for her next semester of school. Donating her eggs would give her the money she needed, if it was really that simple. Bond is part of a 3 men team of aliens sent to earth to see if it is worth saving, they are to bond and mate with a human. Simple... Recommend to all romance lovers. Wonderful read.

Wow... this was just bad. I mean, I know what I am getting into when I read sci-fi romance. Usually, this genre reminds me of a cheesy B movie (which I love!). But this... was so bad. The writing was bad the concept was bad. It made no sense what so ever.
I tossed in the towel when Bond kissed Posey passionately and the next line is.... "Posey," he murmured, looking down at her as if she were his lover and his child all at once." WTF??

This was super boring- DNF 45%

This was just ok. Like in her other book I liked the idea that these aliens actually are nothing like humans and to go to earth grow human bodies so they can experience life on earth.
However this was just too ridiculous for me. There are these three young woman who want to sell some of their eggs to pay their student loans. However it turned out that they are supposed to sell their eggs while they are still in their body. That’s what the doctor says. 🤣 They are in this facility to become mates for aliens, of course only if the aliens want them and they can always say no. Oh and when they get pregnant by one of the aliens they get an additionale huge sum of money. Like WTH.
Of course the girls do meet the aliens and are directly attracted to them and our main heroine in this book gets her happy ever after with one of them. Even though these two had their cute moments, this just felt so bizarre and I do read a lot of Alien romance since I usually love it. I also wasn’t to excited about the mcs. Yes they had some cute moments but there are so much better couples out there. I just didn’t enjoy this much but it wasn’t bad either just Kinde boring but also bizarre and well just ok.

This book has absolutely nothing to do with the blurb. At some point I wondered if I was confusing this with another book with the same name. If it wasn't for the names, I would have been convinced I had marked the wrong book as my read. I DNF'D it, because when I came to mark my progress Goodreads insisted I had finished it, and I just didn't want to fight the app or waste any more time with this story. It didn't capture my attention. It's weird, and I can't pinpoint exactly why I didn't like it, but the blurb being about a different plot played a big part. Also, a lot of things are confusing, and their decisions and actions made little sense. The writing style isn't too bad, but It feels kind of immature.
