For an alien and a human girl, all’s fair in love and courtship…
Attorney Toni Sutterman is on the fast-track, her success all but an open-and-shut case when she realizes she lacks what’s really important: true love. With marriage-minded men in short supply on planet Earth, she joins the Intergalactic Dating Agency hoping to find a good match with an extraterrestrial. When her alien mate finally arrives, he proves beyond all doubt to be the man of her dreams: tall, sexy, romantic, and totally devoted to her. So what if there’s a bit of gray area about how he actually got here?
Aton of planet Dakon doesn’t mean to pull a fast one. He has every intent to play by the rules until false accusations get him escorted from the spaceship just before it blasts off. Neither spurious allegations nor the vastness of space will keep him from his mate, so he makes his own way to Earth to claim the female he was promised. As soon as he sees Toni, he recognizes her as his Fated mate. Confident he’s acted in good faith, he focuses on courting her and beginning their life together.
But when a rival discovers the truth and administers some rough justice, will Toni be willing to break the rules and become Aton’s partner in crime to save their future… or will she play by the book?

Aton was supposed to be on the ship to come to Earth to meet his match but because one of his friends gave him a bad reference he was denied a visa. So he snuck onto another ship in order to get to Earth and to his match who ends up being his mate.
Toni is an attorney and so when she finds out that Aton is here illegally, she is rightfully upset. She doesn't want to lose her license to be an attorney because she helped him stay here illegally.
Things end up working out though and they get along really well. Aton is such a sweet guy as most of the men from Dakon are.
I loved how people worked behind the scenes to make sure that Aton would be able to stay on Earth. The fact that Toni's sleezy ex got in trouble was just icing on the cake for me. I've been reading this series ad really liking it. The men on Dakon want nothing more than to find their mates and make them happy. I was happy to see that Aton found a great mate and Toni was happy with Aton after they got to know one another.

Toni Sutterman is not the kind to rock the boat and does everything by the book. Roguish Aton makes Toni see that some rules are meant to be broken and she might have some rogue in her after all. The second book was just as fun and fantastic as the first one with a new sort of adventure for an alien to earth and the woman he claims as mate.
Aton follows Darak in the series and there is a tie to it and to the series these spin from, but it would also work fine as a standalone.
After the demise of her parent pleasing plans to make law partner, marry well, and live her mother's idea of the perfect life, Toni impetuously opens her own law practice and signs up for an alien of her own so she can be happy and in love like her sister. Only, Toni's perfect match gets his immigration canceled and now she has to try again.
But, Aton isn't having that. He does an end around the system and presents himself to the woman he already knows is his mate. Just when he is so close to what he wants, the system catches up and Toni learns her alien is illegal and they might be separated for good.
Like with Darak, this one was a fun blend of humor, light and spicy romance, and a few suspenseful moments to complicate matters. The tasering misunderstanding cracked me up and I enjoyed the off world guy encountering confusing earth customs. Toni and Aton were fun together and I enjoyed how he taught her to loosen up and live a little. Her smarmy ex was troublesome, but it was fun to see how the girl power network took on that conniving jerk.
The couple from the next book were introduced and I got a good chuckle. I can see there is going to be more fun and feisty times ahead.
Aton was a quick and engaging read that will definitely delight light sci-fi romance fans.
My thanks to the author for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

The second book in the Mail order bride series and it features Toni and Aton. Toni is Lexi’s sister who we have met in the first book Darak. You can however read this book as a standalone.
I enjoyed this book a lot. It was wonderful to see Toni grow into herself and be happy with someone who loves her for who she is.
Aton was a wonderful guy.So sure about Toni being his mate and taking things in his stride.
It was a book about finding yourself and doing what makes you happy. It was a sweet, funny and sexy read.

Review originally posted at BooksOfMyHeart.net.
This is the second book in Cara Bristol’s Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides series. Aton follows heroine, Toni. She’s the sister of the heroine in the first book. She breaks off her wedding that she didn’t really want after seeing her sister so happy with her alien mate. Now, she’s signed up for her own mail order mate. However, there is an issue with his visa and doesn’t make it. But Aton isn’t going to let a little thing like a visa keep him from his mate.
I continue to enjoy this series. It is a fun and fast paced sci-fi romance novel. I love how the author keeps coming up with new ways for the hero and heroine struggle with their relationship so it doesn’t feel like a rinse and repeat story in the series. Each couple has their own personalities and issues they have to overcome to be together.
I love the aspect of seeing the culture differences between the Terrans (people on Earth) and the Dakonians (the main aliens we’re following in this series, though the book does bring up that there are more than one kind of alien in the dating agency). It also makes you think about people from different countries in real life trying to get through red tape to be together.
We also see how Dakonians don’t seem to understand the idea of a job. They don’t have them on their planet. You hunt and build for yourself. If someone has something you need, you trade for it. The idea of job just doesn’t make sense to them. However, they come to Earth independently wealthy because the ore mined on Dakon is worth a lot on Earth.
We do know who both the hero and heroine are for the next book. But I’m hoping to see if Megan gets a book. She’s Toni’s assistant and so very protective of her. I don’t remember there being any mention of a relationship at all, but I loved her and would love to see a book with her finding a man of her dreams.

Population demographics had shifted so women outnumbered men by quite a bit. With an overabundance of female fish in the sea, men were disinclined to settle down with one woman, let alone get married.
Hence, when you got a man, you did your best to hang onto him—even if he was an emotionless stuffed shirt thirty years your senior. That was, until you saw the alien hunk your sister brought to your wedding, discovered you had options, and realized what a huge, huge mistake you were about to make.
I’d only been on Earth for a little over a day, but from what I could tell, most people worked by sitting at tables and staring at glowing flat boxes. I was curious to see if court was any different.

Sweet mail order alien and attorney heroine. Nice to see everyone get what they deserve.
October 14, 2018
Cute read about another Dakonian Male only - Aton who is denied his bride and not allowed entry to earth will not take no for an answer when it comes to his fated mate. This is a quick sweet read and you are sure to enjoy the storyline which includes a different theme. I can't wait to read Caid's story next.
October 21, 2018
I absolutely loved this short story of determined fated mates. From page one I was engaged and there was suspense and romance right up till the end. Our heroine, Ms. Antoinette/Toni Gates Sutterman, is a case winning, brilliant attorney. She had been engaged to Phillip Markham, she broke up with him on their wedding day. She never regretted that decision. She silently feared Phillip, she sensed he had a dark side. Phillip is a founding partner where Toni previously worked. She had to quit because Phillip was doing everything he could to make her miserable. She started her own very successful practice. Toni's older sister Lexi was over the moon, happily engage to an alien. Darak was from Dakon, an ice-cold planet frozen three quarters of the year. Toni secretly envied her sister and her happiness and wanted that for herself. So, at her sister's suggestion, she applied to the IDA, the Intergalactic Dating Agency. Toni did and they found her a mate that was one hundred percent compatible. Jessie Hancock was her IDA match coordinator and she rarely had seen a match like hers. Toni was beyond excited to meet Aton. She had to wait weeks before his ship would arrive. The day before Aton's arrival, Jessie called to advise Toni that Aton immigration status was denied and he would not be coming. Toni was beside herself. She tried to think of everything she could to see if she could find any legal way to get Aton to earth. When Jessie told her, she had tried every avenue and had not succeeded, Toni accepted defeat. A couple of weeks later, Aton was on earth and was looking for Antoinette Sutterman. He had to check several different locations to find her. As he approached the last location, his horns throbbed and he knew his mate was close. He found her office but the secretary would not allow him entry and called security. Security tasered him and called the police. When Toni found out, she rushed to the security office to get Aton release. Toni gave him her home address so he could meet her there after she got off work. While Toni was at the courthouse for a case, Aton followed her. He wanted to see what she did for a living. While observing, Aton noticed the opposing defense. He did not like him. The attorney showed malice toward Toni and Aton became on guard. During the recess, Toni admonished Aton and asked him to go home. Then the opposing attorney came over to introduce himself to Aton. His name was Phillip Markham, Toni's ex-fiancé. Aton was already on high alert against this guy but had no clue as to how devious Phillip really was. Later, Toni took Aton sightseeing and introduced him to earth food. He loved it. As they spent time together, Toni knew that Aton was the love of her life and that he was indeed her mate. Then the unthinkable happened and everything started falling down around her. The IDA sent another alien to Toni to make up for the mix up with Aton. When Caid appeared at Toni's door Aton became possessive. Toni sent Caid away and was getting ready to call Jessie to complain when Aton stopped her. Aton told her how he really came to be on Earth and how he circumvented all the rules to get to her. She was his fated mate and nothing would keep him from her. Toni's mind went into a spin and she started thinking of the repercussion of his actions if he was found out. Aton was hurt and became angry that she was thinking of her reputation before their relationship. He started to question Toni's resolve. They could not see eye to eye and Aton stormed out. He did not return even though her sister Lexi's now husband Darak said he would return, that nothing would keep them apart. Aton went to the IDA to see Jessie to straighten everything out. When Toni arrived, she and Aton had a sweet reunion apologizing to each other. Toni did not want Jessie to find out that Aton was there illegally, so she put on her attorney hat and talked Jessie into not putting forth an investigation request. Toni and Aton were existing happily until immigration officials appeared at her door and dragged Aton out of there. Toni told him to refrain from divulging any information, to obey the guards and she would see to his release. While in the holding cell, Aton was visited by Phillip Markham. Phillip told him that he would never see Toni or Earth again if he did not hire him to defend him. Phillip needed all the information on him. Aton remembered what Toni said to divulged nothing to an increasingly irate Phillip. What an exciting and increasingly suspenseful book. I loved it and I highly recommend it. I received an Advanced Readers Copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

IN US, I’D FOUND A BETTER ME
Once again, Ms. Cara Bristol has spun an amazing sci-fi romance with humor. The new series is a spin-off from her Alien Mate series where human women were sent to Dakon to be paired up with Dakonian men. In this new series, the Intergalactic Dating Agency has evolved, allowing alien men and human women to use a computer match-making program to help match them up and the aliens will come to Earth.
Attorney Toni Sutterman called off her wedding at the altar in book one, Darak, and she now wants what her younger sister, Lexi, has, her own alien. She will apply with the Intergalactic Dating Agency and take the test for a match—and what a shock when Jessie calls her with news, she has been matched at 100 percent with a Dakonian named Aton. I guess what worked out great for one Sutterman daughter, may work out for the other one.
Aton has been matched with his Fated mate and ready to leave Dakon when he is pulled off the shuttle and told he wouldn’t be going, that his visa is denied. Once denied, especially with any questionable details, it will destroy his chance of ever leaving. He is determined, his mate is on Earth, and she is expecting him, and he isn’t going to let anything stand in his way of getting to her.
“Note to self: Don’t count your aliens before they land.”
The plot will have Toni excited knowing she has been matched and learning that her alien mate is coming from Dakon, just like her sister’s mate, Darak. But then she will receive word at the last minute that there is a problem, Aton won’t be coming as scheduled, but that the agency will match her with another mate. Darak overhears the conversation between Lexi and Toni and assures her that nothing will stop Aton from coming.
“He’s your mate, and he won’t abandon you. The Fates have chosen him for you. Nobody can keep a Dakonian from his mate. Aton will come for you.”
Toni is excited when Aton finds her and then confused by a phone call from Jessie about her mate going through mandatory classes before their meeting. There is an instant chemistry between Aton and Toni, and they have fun getting to know each other, and the more time together, the more certain they are for their future.
“My perceptions, my desires, my needs had shifted like the waves. Could falling in love be this easy? You meet somebody, you clicked, and nature took its course? Aton had whisked me away to a place where Prince Charming was real, and dreams did come true.”
“I want to record our mating. On Dakon, we list our names and dates in a big tome called the Book of Records.” He stood back and studied the sand. “Is this back far enough, or will the ocean erase it?”
“We’d connected, bonded already. Call it infatuation, a crush, chemistry, love, whatever—I was head over heels with it.”
“This is what was meant to be. Her. Me. Us. Forever. I would have traveled the infinite galaxy for her.”
Just when things seem perfect between Toni and Aton, trouble enters the picture and Aton is taken away when it is discovered he does not have a visa. Someone evil is involved in destroying them and is keeping them apart. Will Aton find himself deported to an off-Earth prison and not even on Dakon? Will Aton listen to the final words from Toni to not talk?
The prison shuttle leaves and Toni is broken-hearted that she never got to say goodbye. She finally found true love, and he was taken away from her. Will her friends be able to comfort her and is there anyone who can make a difference?
The story has some twists and turns, with moments of joy and those of sadness. Throw in the good, the bad, and the ugly in humanity and maybe even some comeuppance for someone evil.
There will be some surprises, with a bit of creative manipulating by others. The story is the second of three in the Intergalactic Dating Agency series and will segue into the third story of Caid, a sinfully handsome, smooth-talking alien who will set his sights on the woman he wants for his mate. There are some sex scenes in the story, but they are not overly explicit.
“No. I am going to be honest, but selective. Besides, all’s fair in love and war. We’re about to go into battle for love.”

After waiting 3 months for her alien match from Dakon to arrive, Toni was being told by her match coordinator that he was not coming. Not that he missed the ship, but he wasn’t being allowed to come at all. Toni’s sister Lexi had met her match through the Intergalactic Dating Agency and Toni saw new, very attractive options suddenly available to her! She had her heart set on Aton, however, and did not want someone else. Toni called her sister to tell her the bad news, but Darak assured her Aton would come, the Fates had chosen him for her.
Two weeks later, having somehow caught the next ship to Earth, Aton was searching for her. This was the last ‘Antoinette Sutterman’ he had to check. If this lawyer was not his match, he would need to find her by some other way. He had to search on his own since the Intergalactic agency knew he was not supposed to be here. All he had was her name and city, New Los Angeles. When he got to the 8th floor, Toni’s assistant asked if she could help – until he said he was her mate and had come to claim her! She promptly called security. When Toni finished her business phone conference call, she asked her assistance what happened and realized Aton had come to her! By luck, she was able to get to the security office downstairs before they turned him over to the authorities.
As the two of them get to know each other better, the love between them becomes obvious. Fate definitely made a perfect match here. But someone determined to ruin their happiness makes sure that the authorities know Aton did not have a visa to enter Earth and he is to be deported. Is there any way to resolve this situation? Can Toni let him go, knowing he is the best thing to ever come into her life? What will happen to their love now?
Just like the first one, I absolutely loved this book! The humor interspersed as Aton tries to navigate through our unfamiliar society is so well done! It made me fall in love with the characters and their wonderful personalities. It doesn’t take much for the reader to become fully involved with these characters and caring how things work out for them. Again we have perfect pacing, a perfect story. So do get a copy and enjoy a perfect read!

This is book 2 in the Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides and can be read as a standalone but I recommend reading at least book 1 so you can meet the heroine in this book and understand the events that lead up to some of the events that happen in this book. With that being said this one is about Toni Sutterman, who is Lexi's sister from book 1, and Aton. Toni has signed up for the same dating agency that her sister went through and found such happiness in the hopes of finding her own. Aton was matched to her but at the last minute she is told he won't be on the ship. Which leaves her feeling disappointed. Aton was already on the ship when he is told there was mistake and he is escorted off. However after being matched to what he already considers his mate, he will do what he must to get to her and be able to claim her. But when the past comes knocking and tries to steal their happiness together, they must figure out a way to fix everything and stay together.
I really liked this one!! Toni and Aton are cute together. I still love how the Dakonian's just seem to know that a woman is their mate and that fate makes things happen for a reason. Toni is a stand up woman who doesn't like to see injustice for anyone. Regardless of whether they are human or an alien. Aton is a male who wants to do anything and everything he can to make his mate happy but he also manages to find a purpose for himself by the end. And I love the purpose they come up with together. I really like how it managed to pull in some characters we saw in the Alien Mate series as well. Another great read and I can't wait for Caid's story!! Especially after his introduction in this one!

Aton is the second book in the Drakonian Alien Mail Order Bride Series. Toni has seen her sister’s good fortune and love with her alien mate and wants that for herself. Right before her mate, Aton, was supposed to arrive, she receives news that he’s not coming. Disappointed, she’s then shocked when he shows up at her job. Aton might not have used the most legal of ways to meet his mate, but the Fates determined that Toni was meant to be his. When her ex seeks revenge and deportation officers show up, can Aton and Toni find their happy ending?
While this book wasn’t quite as funny as the first book in the series, this one felt both more realistic and magical all at the same time. Realistic because these are major real world issues that I could see the world facing if aliens were to come, but also magical because Toni got to introduce everything to Aton and see Earth and the city’s experiences and dates through brand new eyes! I really enjoyed Toni’s character because she felt like she was always one to just follow blindly, but she had so much inner strength and a fight for what she believed in and loved. Aton was just as fierce, breaking laws to be with his mate, and I loved how much he trusted in Toni and her abilities! They were an amazing couple, went on some really fun dates, and I definitely enjoyed their romance! This has been a fun series so far, and I am really excited for the next book!

Toni has finally broken out of her good girl shell! She was always the conformist, living with her hellish mother I can understand why she felt the need to fade into the background! But dumping her former fiancé not only freed her from him, but unleashed the hidden bitterness he kept within and now she is a target for him personally and professionally!
Aton wants his mate and isn't going to let a little thing like rules and a traitorous friend get in the way of getting to Earth. He and Toni scored the highest ever compatibility score and I can see why. Toni tempers Aton's...enthusiasm and Aton makes Toni's inner rebel shine!
I must say Megan was a hoot! She is protective of Toni and her code 14's to security must be getting old by now, LOL. I really enjoyed learning who Aton and Toni were going to get around all the red tape concerning his entry to Earth. Quick, enjoyable, light-hearted read with some passion filled escapades for the daring twosome!
Caid is an absolute scream! He has gone completely Earth native in a short period of time! he is going to be a complete chuckle to read. Jessie has her work cut out for her.

This is a marvelous, highly entertaining Sci-fi alien romance and a pleasure to read.
It is about: an alien male (Aton) who is determined to get his fated mate & claim her (Antoinette aka Toni), and neither false accusations or thrown off a space ship is going to stop him but there are trials & retributions on the horizon for these two.
There is: twists & turns, intrigue, suspense, humor, revenge, a conniving ex (Phillip), false accusations, misunderstandings, confusion, jealousy, disagreements, truth, overreacting, a warrant, arrested, fear, anger, assaulted, deceit, citizenship, hacking, discovery, trafficking, slavery, happiness & some steam.
The plot is vivid and delightful, it is full of intriguing incidents, and it certainly kept my attention. The characters are well developed with attributes of determination & loyalty when faced with certain situations.
I really enjoyed reading this Sci-Fi alien romance and would recommend it.

Aton is here to meet his fated mate but Earth’s rule would not let him be with her. That is not going to stop him. Toni saw how happy her best friend was with her Alien love and decided to try IDA too. Well, her mate is on Dakon but they wont allow him over but Aton finds a way. But nothing is that easy.
You have to love an alien that is not willing to give up and a lawyer that is going to get to the bottom of things. I love that Aton found a way to get to Earth. I never liked Toni’s ex-fiancé, Philip. He was a jerk. I never trusted him. Then we have other complications like Caid. Which he will be in the next book. I hate when you think everything is fine then, WHAM, you get that slap. I do enjoy the romance and fated mates idea. It just makes it feel like there is a think as “love at first sight.” And thank goodness for Toni having friends like Maridelle. It is a painful journey to make things right but when you have a hot sexy alien to cuddle with, it is all worth it.

Mavericks, UNITE!!
Another enjoyable novella by Ms Bristol! Dakonians are currently my Book Boyfriends. I run from one to another, I’m such a HO! LOL! This story will definitely resonate with those with Inner Mavericks squashed down so you can fit someone's mold. In this story, we meet Aton who moves heaven and earth to met his mate, Toni. Although they were connected through the Intergalactic Dating Agency, they didn’t meet in person until Aton does some questionable finagling to make it happen. There is no doubt that the couples’ inner mavericks are attracted to each other like no body’s business! Twists and turns abound as these two work hard to reach their HEA. Ms Bristol creates another great story. I’m looking forward to “getting to know” Caid in the next book in the series. I received and voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

I loved this book. It’s the second in Dakon Brides series and the sixth Dakon book I’ve enjoyed. It’s a quick read with characters you’ll love. Tess is the responsible lawyer sister of the main character from Book #1 of the series. She’s spent her lifetime following the rules. Jilting her fiancé at the altar was the first rebellion of her life. Joining the intergalactic dating agency seemed like a great follow up.
Aton has to stowaway on a ship bound for earth to get the chance to meet his mate. He’s willing to go to any lengths to find his bride. And Toni learns that love is worth blasting the rule book.
It’s a sweet story with interesting twists the we expect from a Dakon story.
I was provided a copy of the book by the author for review.

Toni and Aton scored perfectly the same for the personality compatibility test. While Aton was getting ready to embark to Earth he was at the last minute denied and made his way to another ship to get to Earth and be with Toni. While Aton only had Toni's name he set out to find her and there meeting at first was while he was handcuffed. While Toni and Aton get to know each other Phillip her ex is still being harsh and throws a wrench into Toni and Aton's relationship. Get immersed for the love between Toni and Aton. For a short read I loved the characters and the story line with a HEA.

I voluntarily received a copy of this novel for review all thoughts and opinions are my own.
This is the story of Toni Sutterman who we meet in book one of this series, Darak. This book can be read as standalone however much of what happens at the end of Darak effects Aton so I think you would be better served to read them in order.
When Toni sees the happiness that an alien has brought her sister, she decides to sign up for Intergalactic Dating Agency and look for true love from the stars for herself. She doesn’t want to settle for the life her mother wants for her; she wants passion and love.
Aton will do anything to get to is fated mate. Breaking the rules doesn’t seem like that big of a deal. But when an enemy of Toni’s discovers what he has done, Aton not following the rules may cost him everything. I loved this story. Like Darak, it was super cute with just the right amount of humor, romance and drama.
I found myself laughing out loud many times but even better; I think I smiled throughout most of the book. I love the Dakonians, and I would like to know where mine is!

Who doesn't love a maverick? I was so excited to finally get to read this installment of the Intergalactic Dating Agency. I've been looking forward to Toni and Aton's story for what seems like forever! It did not disappoint! Toni was introduced in Lexi's story and she absolutely deserved a happy ending. The plot was cleverly written with misunderstandings, confusion and subterfuge all woven together with a strong love story. I was entranced from the beginning, loving the story, the characters and the dramatic emotional rollercoaster that Toni is forced to ride. I am totally recommending this one, you should already be reading it!

An excellent story!
Although he was removed before the spaceship left Dakon, Aton managed to get to Earth and find his mate, anyway. That was not the only snafu our bonding couple has to face. Aside from the joy of finding his mate, there is considerable danger!
I adore Aton! He’s a force of nature, determined to reach his fated mate, and to protect her as best he can. His thoughts, on encountering a world so different from his, delight me! I enjoy seeing Toni’s true personality shine through the façade she habitually shows the world. But she is not a ‘maverick.’ *wink* An excellent story!

A very entertaining and enjoyable story that I highly recommend.
I love Aton and Toni. Their meeting is so funny and sweet. This is a very well written and described book with lots of laughs. All the characters are well done. There are plenty of different elements to hold the reader's interest. It is not a straight forward love story, they have to work for their love and find out together that they have to work towards their future happiness. I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book and I highly recommend it. A very interesting and enjoyable story.

Another good addition to this series. Toni is sick of settling for what her mother thinks is best and wants what her sister has found, true love and devotion. Wanting and getting are two very different things. Aton needs to get to his mate and will do whatever he has to, bending and breaking any rules necessary. There are plenty of misunderstandings, jealousy and vindictiveness that try to keep Anton and Toni apart but where there's a will there's a way. This entertaining story has humor, suspense and a fun sweet romance.

This delightful story about Aton, the alien from Dakon, and Toni, his fated mate from Earth, was a pleasure to read. Although this couple encountered more than a few obstacles early in their relationship, they stayed committed to a future together. Toni's villainous ex-fiance' was a constant headache because he continued to seek vengeance for being dumped by Toni and replaced by her new alien boyfriend, Aton. If you like your romances with lots of complications and plenty of drama, this one's for you. I know I enjoyed reading it. Very Entertaining!!!!

I got a copy of Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides Boxed Set Vol. 1 during the BookFunnel Alien Romance Book Fair May 2020 (https://books.bookfunnel.com/alien-on...).
I really enjoyed reading about Toni and A ton in this story and seeing how they overcame all the problems and misunderstandings that got in their way. I look forward to seeing how things work out for Caid in the next story.

Very enjoyable read about an alien coming to earth to find his mate through the Intergalactic Dating Agency. Toni wants to find her alien mate after she sees how happy her sister is with her alien mate so she signs up for the Intergalactic Dating Agency. Besides, she has nothing to lose and everything to gain. Aton is matched to Toni but ends up in some trouble due to an unfriendly Dakonian's false claims. But Aton makes it to earth and, once he meets Toni, he realizes she is his fated mate. They fall in love but have some trials to get through to attain their happily ever after.

This book was great! I really loved Aton and Toni's story. Toni was awesome in Lexi's book and I couldn't wait to read more about her. I really liked Aton he was willing to do anything to be with Toni which was really romantic. Toni is a tough woman not afraid to stand her ground. I loved how Philip became her enemy in this book. He really tries to put a kink into Toni and Aton's relationship. A fun addition to the series.

Sweet and fun
What a sweet fun Fast paced rom-com, Alien Style.
Toni was matched with Aton. Things happened and Aton was not suppose to show up. Nothing was going to keep Aton from Toni.
They hit it off famously.
Phillip, Toni’s ex fiancé was not quite so happy. He made their life miserable. What ensued was horrible love angst. The truth came out in the end.
I would definitely recommend this sweet, fun loving romance.
