Riggs

Intergalactic Dating Agency #57

by Tasha Black

This by-the-numbers accountant is way out of her comfort zone. It’s up to one sexy alien to prove that she can count on him. Sage Martin is on temporary leave from her accounting firm to help her sister run the family farm. Trading in spreadsheets for a peach orchard isn’t easy for sensible Sage. On the other hand, her love for her little sister Tansy makes it all worthwhile. But when Tansy and their new friend Arden fall for a pair of hunky fugitive aliens, their idyllic farm life starts to feel like a cheesy romantic comedy. And now there’s one more hot alien looking at Sage like she’s the last ripe peach on the tree. Riggs has loved Sage since the moment he saw her. He admires her long chestnut hair and the stern expression that hides a heart of gold. Determined to give her all the time she needs to accept him, Riggs is torn between the ecstasy of being near his intended mate and the agony of unsatisfied desire. When vandals strike the farm, threatening to ruin the tourist season and expose the aliens, Riggs and Sage must work together to solve the mystery and stop the villains who want to sabotage the peach orchard. But even if Riggs can foil the evildoers, will he be able to sweep his stalwart mate off her feet?

Wow! Tasha Black has done it again with her latest lovable alien turned human ;) ... "RIGGS" is another brand new phenomenal, stand-alone from her fantastic PNR world with fantasy, magic & sci-fi, ‘Stargazer Alien Mail Order Brides’! ... I so love these contemporary fiction aliens, who could otherwise pass for human & would be our perfect men for today ;) not like the scary alien abduction stories that are too gritty for my taste- IMO ;) ... Right from the start I was glued to my seat & did not want to stop! Always a fresh, fun, romantic, storyline (that’s sometimes steamy ;) and relatable characters that jump off the pages. Plus a likable H/h with the ever present witty dialogue, amazing attention to detail, and a touch of suspense, will keep readers hooked & pages turning! ... Even tho I always volunteer to read her books in advance, this is my honest opinion without any outside influences. Plus, I have preordered my own kindle book to keep :) So yes, I do highly recommend this to adult fans of fiction & now I can’t wait for more, but I will as usual ;)

Sage is still worried about the farm. How can they possibly keep it going with all the extra expenses and vandalism they are going through? It's also distracting her from her feelings for the alien. How can she fall for one? Just because her sister and friend did.

Riggs knows Sage is the one. She almost learned of his extra gift before they were committed. He was about to hide it from her. All of them tried to figure out who was trying to put them out of business.

Another sweet but strong alien with a heart of gold and a man-candy body. The author always provides us with irresistible guys and strong gals who try to resist the irresistible. I love this group of close-knit couples fighting to keep their family heritage together.

You'll love their references to the eighties movies, the misunderstanding of words and actions. There is steam and humor and tenderness. What more could you want? Enjoy the end of this group of aliens and the women they choose.

In the final book of this trio, Riggs needs to win over the serious-minded Sage. While her sister Tansy is committed to saving the farm, Sage is more pragmatic. Her accounting background means she understands the financial hole the farm is in. No matter how good of a year they have, they are not going to be able to come out in the black unless they figure out a way to increase their prices. All the looky-loos want to spend money on is stuff that has to do with the local aliens. On top of that, it seems someone is trying to sabotage the business by making them look bad. But perhaps Riggs has a way to help the sisters cash in on the local mania...

I was given a copy of this book by the author. My review is voluntary.

This was a great ending for the last book in this series. Sage gave up her cushy accounting job in the city to help her sister run the farm that their grandmother had left them when she passed. They take in three hot and sexy aliens and a botanist who she becomes fast friends with. Both her friend and sister mate with two of the hunky aliens and Sage is trying hard to resist the last hunk - Riggs. It's difficult to resist him but with all the vandalism going on with the farm, Sage doesn't think that they can keep the farm. Both Riggs and Sage discover who the vandals are and then they find their way together for their happily ever after.

Invincible love.

Book 15 finds Sage and Riggs trying to solve the mystery of who has been vandalizing the farm? With all the damage that had been done along with a scandal being broadcasted on the news, Sage is ready to say goodbye to the family farm and to letting Riggs get personal. Riggs heart is broken and reaches out of help. The rest of the story is blossoming with passionate romance filled with love and hope. Tasha Black takes great strides in showing how to love an alien in modern times. You will definently enjoy this wonderfully written story. ⚘⚘⚘

How can you not love a man that is so in tune with the desires of his "heart" and has some ninja knowledge to boot, lol. So happy for this set of brothers and their determined to remain single mates. This heartwarming addition to the series maintains a little action, drama, humor and romancing that is expected plus the always unique gift. I can never get enough of this series because the plots are always interesting, the alien men/brothers always support one another and they are always patient, kind and determined to convince their one true love that clicking will be well worth it.

Finally Sage's turn! She's been in the last 3 books but on the sidelines and now she's front and center and not wanting to bond with Riggs, even though he's so hot! Sage wants to save the farm because it's what her sister wants and thinks they're going to be able to but the vandals are back, and it's not Otis he's too busy in the kitchen baking. Another great addition to this series with lots of humor, more 80's references, hot aliens, and romance Stargazer style. You don't need to read all the stories but should read the last 3, you definitely won't be disappointed!!

I love this cute series!

Possible SPOILERS


















Riggs + his brothers are still working on the farm to make it profitable and to save it from being sold.
The pranks and sabotage don't seem to be over quite yet but they seem to be some what safe....for now!
The peaches are full and almost ready for picking but Sage doesn't think that selling ALL the peaches will matter because it still won't be enough.
Riggs + his brothers and Sage + the girls still can't figure out who is after the farm or why?!

I received this ARC book for a totally honest review. We are back on the farm.. Riggs an Sage are still trying to make the farm profitable. Sage has lost hope.
There has been a lot of vandalism. Including a rabbit being left at the door, graffiti on Come out and pick peaches sign on top of the barn. She feels lost. Will she come back to the family at the farm? Will she come back to Riggs? Will she come to the Stargazer Brides way? You'll be excited to know you get to read and find out whether the farm and the family and her life comes together?

Sage and her sister Tansey own the Martin farm after their grandmother died. Then Arden showed up with 3 aliens Drogo, Burton, and Riggs. Tansy ended up with Burton, and Arden with Drago. Sage on the other hand was giving poor Riggs a hard time.
Riggs only had eyes for Sage.
Then there is the whole trying to save the farm.
Great story lots if fun and drama, this sweet story pulled me in fast. I lived the characters and how they interacted. Don't miss it.
Voluntarily review a copy and I honestly loved it .

an accountant and an alien cross paths and the alien, Riggs, wants her as his mate but Sage feels like she needs to help with the family farm until she can go about her own life.
if you have read any of the Stargazer Alien Mail Order Brides (Intergalactic Dating Agency) then this will be 1 for you to enjoy as well.

this is book 15 of the series by the author.

[Michelle Graves · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's awesome as usual. Riggs is with a unique ability that helps with everything especially his soon 2 b mate. I like the idea that Otis is there making all kinds of deserts 2 make amends which he had already did. At least he's not helping those assholes that were willing 2 do dangerous things and not thinking about the consequences b4 it was 2 late. They r good 2gether. I can't wait 4 more ASAP.

Alien mail order brides. Riggs & Sage -- their story. Mysterious happenings on the farm even as Riggs & Sage work on their plan. Romance and friendship, warm and fuzzy, fierce and loyal. Loved the entire series -- each book is a standalone but oh, so, better when read in order. BRAVO!!

I received a free copy of this book via BookFunnel and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I enjoyed reading this book 📚, the chemistry between Sage and Riggs, with Dave fighting it all the way. I'm sorry that this ends the series. I can't wait to see what comes next. I received this book as a FREE ARC copy to read and I voluntarily leave this review.

Sage has always been practical. With her specialty of accounting, she worries about the bottom line. Riggs is very quiet. No one knows what to really make of him. When push comes to shove, he’s right there in the middle of it. He figures out a way to save the farm and win Sage’s heart.

Star based Mail Order Brides

This was a very interesting story. Each character had it's own story plot. The five different set of stories made up for the end of series. I enjoyed the books.

[Heather Hungate-Brown · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh wow, I was on the edge of my seat. Sage is one strong woman and Riggs completes her. I just love all the characters. I can't wait to read what Tasha Black writes next.

The last single lady standing isn’t going to fall so easily…
Rigg’s is the final installment, both of the Stargazer Alien Mail Order Brides series, as well as the more closely connected trilogy within featuring Riggs and his brothers Drago and Burton, along with Arden and the Martin sisters Tansy and Sage—it’s also part of the larger, multi-author Intergalactic Dating Agency series!
Riggs has escaped captivity in the labs with the help of Dr. Bhimani and Arden, and found shelter at the neighboring Martin farm with Tansy and Sage Martin. But now that Drago and Burton have chosen their brides and been accepted, he hopes for more with Sage, the woman he would choose for his mate. He’s hoped for her acceptance all along, but it’s harder than ever to resist when love fills the air and the days at the farm. Only, Sage is focused on resolving the matter of the farm and seeing to Tansy’s future, not open to the possibility of romance even before a rash of vandalism is added to their problems. Still, Riggs is determined, and he takes the opportunity of Sage’s need to put the trouble to rest to spend time with and woo her. Only their troubles are mounting, and Riggs fears that he will not only fail to save his new home, but fail to win over the woman he desperately loves before it’s too late.
It was so wonderful to revisit Stargazer, to see an escape in action, and to revisit the original trio of couples in the series along with Dr. Bhimani while Riggs and his brothers establish a new life for themselves. Sage is stubborn to the very in, but Riggs goes above and beyond to prove himself a worthy mate and secure their home and future for her and their little family. There’s high stakes, schemes to be foiled, romance and steam as this wonderful series comes to a close, and I myself would LOVE to see more from this Aerie-Earthling family—whether that’s some sort of whole family epilogue, seeing MacGyver find love too, or even a next generation series. I’ve loved each and every installment of the Stargazer Alien Mail Order Brides series, and I’m looking forward to exploring the other contributions Tasha has made to the Intergalactic Dating Agency universe—and crossing my fingers for the Aerie brothers to make more appearances in the future—checking out the rest of that multi-author universe, and chomping at the bit for Tasha’s upcoming release Chloe (the 5th installment of her equally fabulous Alien Surrogate Agency series)! I’m definitely more into—and have higher standards for—reading alien romances now that I’ve read Tasha’s, and I’m looking forward to whatever she has for her readers next!

I like how everyone works together to try to get the farm back in a money making stage. Plus one of the people, Otis, who tried to help sabotage it recently, felt so bad about it, he is baking things for them. He is doing a few things free of charge for the sisters. Sage & Riggs have noticed a few things being vandalized. The men think it is the ninjas at the dojo in town because of the boot tracks found out around the tractor with the slashed tires. They decide to go & ask if they are the ones who did it. They find out no. When they get back to the farm Sage lets them know that they were not in the right. Driving to town without a license, & could have gotten arrested, causing all kinds of trouble. The people who are trying to scare them off send tips to a news team about the peach trees being doctored. They come out to the farm & ask Sage about it. She tells them it isn't true & they take some fruit to test. Arden & Drago explain to Tansy & Sage about how Drago's gift to communicate with plants helped the trees bounce back. The news people find nothing wrong with the fruit, but Clem Peterson tells them that trees were almost dead 2 weeks ago. The police were out there taking pictures. The news people get a hold of that & are running that on their story. Riggs gets a hold of one of his brothers at the observatory to ask for help. The next day when she wakes up, the farm is so busy they almost can't keep up. She finds out that Bond is there with his wife, Posey & their daughter to do hayrides with people. Unfortunately, what no one knows is that Clem cut the brake line on the tractor when he slashed the tires earlier that week. Tansy gets the tractor going up a hill but on the way down she can't slow down. Riggs sees a toddler get away from his mother & almost in front of the tractor, Tansy still isn't slowing down. He dashes out to get him, & the tractor clips him as he gets through. His special power is he is indestructible. He gets the kid back to his mom & hears Tansy scream. He sees the tractor going straight for the old storage shed. The tractor goes through the building & the wagon gets trapped inside. Tansy tells them they have to get everyone out, there are propane tanks inside. Tansy is calling 911. They are getting everyone out, Riggs asks Sage to get out. She can't, she is pinned to the wall. She asks him to move away. She tells him that if she could she would accept him as her mate, she loves him. He tells her he loves her too. His brothers drag him away. There is an explosion. He sinks to the ground, his face in his hands. There is a communitive gasp, he looks up and she walks out of what is left of the shed. Her clothes a mess, she no worse for wear. The police find the brake line cut & the media have it on the news. When it is shown Clem turns himself in, he hadn't meant for any little kids to get hurt. Sage learns about Riggs power & how she has gotten it by being his mate. They go on to have a wedding for three at midnight on the farm later in the month. Oti is making their wedding cake. They see their brothers with their wives from the observatory to be here with them. It is a great little page turner that keeps you going.
