Tasha Black has a way of sucking you in. Magnum is a strong sexy alpha. He's got the world on his shoulders. Roma is sweet and innocent. Was on the edge of my seat. Never knowing what's going to happen next. I enjoyed this series.

Magnum: Stargazer Alien Mail Order Brides
Intergalactic Dating Agency
by Tasha Black
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I absolutely enjoy reading Magnum: Stargazer Alien Mail Order Brides Intergalactic Dating Agency by Tasha Black this is book 3 of the series and I would love for this series to continue. I really must admit this is a intriguing, exciting, sensual and interesting book, it is one of the few books that I have read about a alien romance that is well written with a great entertaining story-line. There is defiance, suspense, a traitor, action, threats, a shy but attractive, feisty heroine and a gorgeous hero, intrigue, drama, hatred, accusations, danger, lust, betrayal, emotional feelings, love and sensual sexual scenes. The characters have emotional feelings, that's realistic with needs, desires that's scorching hot. The storyline has some interesting surprises. Rima Bhimani is the one who loves to read I like this about her, she lets her imagination cloud her judgement until real life steps in and there is a real adventure with a sexy alpha alien she can’t resist.
Magnum is the dark bruiting one and he is hiding something. Even if he wants Rima he feels he can't act on it. But his needs and his respect for the planet that has become his new home are getting harder to resist. Magnum’s touch sets Rima on fire. But he fights their attraction, Magnum isn't sure he can protect the woman he is falling for or his friends. Magnum is definitely a leader. This storyline gives my emotions different levers of involvement! and all the horror of that word is embodied in him. This was a great Sci-Fi story and it will involve your heart and mind! Full of romance and also the beauty of discovering love where you never expected it.

I have read the two Stargazer Alien Mail Order Brides Intergalactic Dating Agency series books and I enjoyed them all. The characters of this storyline is fully develop and the dialogue is realistic. Rima and Magnum came together emotionally but physically slow but each felt their attraction to fullest of their feelings. We also get a met another Alien and a picture of their planet. Love and passion, danger, betrayal, plus great world building add up to a very satisfying read. This definitely will be one of my favorite series. I highly recommend this book to people that like to read a well written alien romance with a HEA.

If you believe in the world of love and romance, then the possibilities are endless and fascinating!

Great Sci-fi novel with a major romantic sub-plot

You should definitely read these books in order. If you liked either of the previous two, you’ll like this, too. As the “season finale”, this book wraps up Fall in Stargazer aka the first trilogy. As we need to wrap up the season plot, a greater focus on the entire cast as opposed to the main couple. If you aren’t expecting this, it can make some elements of Rima and Magnum’s romance feel oddly paced. So as a series wrap up, I give it 5 stars. On its own, I’d probably give it 4.

I digress...Spoilers begin now!

If you’ve read the previous 2 books, you’ll know that Magnum is the leader of a trio of alien brothers with a mission to establish relationships with Earth women. The impression of him given by the previous two books is that he’s large and in charge...but that something’s bothering him that makes him grouchy. Upon getting his POV, we quickly learn that he’s trying to take on big issues alone. Learning his reasoning immediately made me like him and sympathize with his struggles. When Rima inadvertently discovers what’s going on, she presents the issue to the group, and all our characters put their heads together to solve the problem.

Magnum does realize that bottling up his problems and keeping secrets from his friends is a bad idea. He also develops a sense of humor. So yay character development!

I really don’t know how to feel about Rima in this book. She’s been previously portrayed as introverted, timid, and mild mannered — not having a problem letting other characters boss her around. Early on, we find out that Rima is a hacker? I was expecting this to come into play more, either with her doubts about her relationship with Magnum or with the communication problem plot line. But I don’t think she ever even mentioned it to anyone?? (I could be wrong here, I didn’t go back and check.) Anyway, she hangs back for large portions of the plot, which seems to be in-character for her considering her introversion. While I wanted to see her take more of a stand (or just for something to come of that plot line?), I also think it’s important to have diverse representation. As much as I love the strong outspoken warrior female mold (a la Kate Daniels), it is nice to see an author take a different approach to a heroine.

This is the 3rd book in this series and as was expected by Tasha Black she doesn't disappoint us at all.

I have to admit that there were times i was frustrated with these two but daaaamn it was worth it in the end.
Funny and with moments that you just wanted to slap them both silly.
Tasha Black knows how to hold her reader entangled in her stories and we finally get some much needed answers in this last (??) book.
We got to see knew characters that i do hope they get their books and we got to see.
Intresting characters really well written dialogues and a really well placed and well written world building i promise you this book and this series will leave you in an after book bliss!
A must read!!!!

I liked this third story in the series as it tied up all of the loose ends of the other two books. Rima is the shy, uncoordinated, geek of the group of women who have come to Stargazer, Pennsylvania to mate with aliens from planet Aerie. But in Rima's case, she actually came back to town since the scientist in charge of the observatory, where they all have been living, is her mother and this is her hometown. Rima never thought she would actually fall for one of the aliens, she only planned to mate and help populate the Earth with little half-aliens. Unfortunately, Magnum seems to run hot and cold when it comes to her. One minute he is kissing all over her and the next he is storming out and going for a walk.

Magnum can't convince himself that he is doing the right thing even though he knows he is. The communications he has sent back to Aerie have been going to an Aerian who hates him and it is going to jeopardize the whole mission. If the leaders of his world don't hear from his crew they are going to assume that the inhabitants of Earth have not welcomed them and show up prepared to terra-form the planet for use by his kind. This will mean the end of human life. The only way he knows to stop it is to return to Aerie and allow his nemesis to kill just him and allow Earth to survive. To that end, he can't allow himself to mate with Rima, no matter how much he wants to.

Can these two manage to get together and solve Magnum's problem some other way?

Great Conclusion of the three first books! This is the third book in the Stargazer Alien Mail Order Brides Serie. The three first books (volume 1), are about three smart heroines: Posey, Georgia and Rima and three hot and sexy aliens: Bond, Rocky and Magnum. Their stories set in a small Pennsylvania town. This is the conclusion of this first volume. This is the story of Magnum and Rima. I was waiting for this story! Magnum is as handsome as Bond and Rocky, but sometimes he seems so cold in comparison of them! It's just a facade! In contrary of the first books, Rima is the one who wants to claim Magnum! On this journey, they all work together to save the Earth! Like the first books in the Series, there were many hilarious scenes along the story. I love the ending of this first volume of three books and I absolutely love the Epilogue! Now, I can't wait for the next book in the Series, Kitt's story, one of the three stories included in the volume 2. I received this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

In Stargazer there is trouble brewing. Rima is following Magnum around in case he needs her. Rima loved Magnum and it breaks her heart at every rejection she receives. There are times when Magnum will find Rima alone and hug the stuffing out of he or he just stared into her eyes. Talk about mixed messages. Rima is happy for her friends newfound loves and lives to begin. In the secret of her tree house she wonders when her turn is coming. Magnum comes in, sees she has been crying and goes to her. Then there is a knock on the door. Spell broken.
Magnum is gone again.
Two Special Agents come to the door to ask about the space ship seen at a football game. the older agent was becoming degrading and rude. His partner stepped in and told them they could leave.
Do Magnum and Rima get their happily ever after? Do the Special Agents find the spaceship?
I received this ARC book as a single copy to give my unbiased review over this book.

Rima Bhimani is a bookworm who dreams of things in the clouds until she meets sexy alien Magnum who sets her alight if only he would stop resisting their attraction. The problem is Magnum has a dark secret. However, his need for Rima is getting harder to restrain so that he can focus on the problem at hand. How far will he go to protect the woman he loves?

This was a much more involved story in the series so far and exposed some of the issues with the alien's secret mission and the mechanism for reporting back. I loved that eventually, the truth came out and that it was teamwork plus the quick thinking of Magnum's mate Rima that saved the day and ensured that there would be a chance for them to be together. This one was full of drama and excitement plus an enhanced sense of danger. A good read that was very enjoyable.

I declare, poor Rima....her moments of "awkwardness" are just hilarious however don't misjudge her worth as a crucial part of this team because she has smarts. Being clumsy has her self-esteem a little low and now she feels unchosen. Magnum has bigger fish to fry and it involves more than clicking with Rima, his secret is pulling him to willingly sacrifice yet his heart & love won't be denied. Still enjoying this series, each book gets a little deeper and as soon as I thought what are they going to do now, in comes MacGyver....I remember him, he never failed to get out of every sticky situation, lol. Very entertaining storyline and interesting characters and plot, every addition leaves me satisfied but also wanting the saga to continue.

Magnum was just as good as both Bond and Rocky. It was a marriage of innocence, sexy fun, suspense, exploration and humor. I really enjoyed reading it. Like the other books of the series, it is an easy read, but don't think that because it is easy that it will not be fun. It was extremely fun to read and did offer it's moments of extasy as well as a few moments of nail biting moments. The characters are very much relatable and the action is constant. You never have the time to get bored or wonder why you are reading this book. It is interesting from the start to finish. If you love hunky aliens, tantalizing sex scenes, a bit of action and humor, this is the book for you, well actually the whole series is. So have fun reading it all!

He alway appeared to be running away from her she couldn't understand what she had done wrong was she a wrong match for him, but he longed for her to hold her just as much as she longed for him but he feared he might be the one to blame for bringing an end to humanity until she had enough and confronted him that was when he realised she was not just sensitive she was strong so he told her, now she needed to make a plan if they all worked together they could fix this. Then the authorities got wind of them and the hunt was on. I recommend this book to those who like a good story and plenty of romance

Who doesn’t love a happy ending?

Magnum desperately wants to Rima from the truth. Rima is falling in love. When the secret gets out, their lives change. This is a great story filled with friendship, love, government agents, a whole town protecting the aliens, and smoking hot chemistry between our heroes. Our three original aliens are all happy now! The story is full of ups and downs and as the plot thickens, the action ramps up! Escape into this book and you won’t be disappointed!

Bond, Rocky and Magnum -- the first three aliens arriving at Stargazer. This is Magnum and Rima's story. This is a standalone story but is so much better when read in the series. A funny and warm and romantic story. A page turner as Tasha Black keeps us guessing how our team will make it all work. I loved the story and I am looking forward to meeting more of the aliens. Bravo!!

Magnum is strong, quiet and drop dead sexy. Rima is a genius, but socially awkward. During their time together they have grown to love each other. Though, neither one admits it. Due to circumstances beyond their control things get out of hand. Friendships develop in the most unexpected places. In due time, things have a way of working out for the benefit of everyone.

Posey and Magnum

Posey is smart and clumsy at time. Magnum is tall, strong and handsome but at time you want to slap him at time. They love each other and willing to to put themselves in harm way. The detective does the unexpected action. You will have to read the story. I Enjoyed reading this story. Thank you for a wonderful read!!!

Magnum is fighting his attraction to Rima. He kept pushing her away from him because of a big secret that could destroy Earth. Rima, the nerdy and smart colleg girl, had very strong feelings for Magnum. She thought Magnum didn't have feelings for her. It was only as they spent more time together that Magnum finally told her the truth and they finally get their happily ever after.

Good beginning just to jump start a series

This Author starts each of these stories with a dream sequence. So far it’s the women’s dreams. This seems to make the first introductions easier. Now that the world knows these aliens are here I’m not sure it will continue in the next books.

Well, I wanted something different, light, and it was free so I read it. Entertaining enough, I guess. Unfortunately, the characters are really indistinguishable from those in Bond and Rocky, the first two in the collection, especially the men.

Strong and silent

Book 3 in this Series — Much lighter story than the first two. Wish there had been more information or a dedicated chapter on what Magnum had done to cause an enemy to want him dead at any cost.

Not happy about the fact that a large part of the conflict came from lack of communication. That's one of my least favourite tropes. Aside from that I enjoyed the story and this series so far.
