The Department of Homeworld Security #2
Resident Alien
Brendan has always dreamed of making alien contact. He's about to get lucky.
When Brendan Sloan sends transmissions into deep space, he never believes he’ll actually reach aliens. The sultry voice that responds is too good to be true. He’s convinced Kira was sent by his government to keep an eye on him while he’s on vacation from his top secret communications project—until she shows up on his doorstep in a silver spaceship.
Kira has been assigned to the listening station orbiting Earth for two years—years she’s spent alone. Responding to Brendan’s broadcasts could land her in jail or worse, on a Coalition scientist’s examination table. She couldn’t ignore the connection she felt, and now, he’s the only person she can turn to for help.
Because a vicious species of aliens have set their eyes on her—and Earth—and she can’t hide her secrets forever. Can Brendan convince Kira to risk everything to help protect his planet?
Main Content: Approximately 23,914 words, 115 (5.5 x 8.5) pages. Intended for mature readers.

This one is even better than the first. Nice swap with the nerdy guy and the stronger gal. The story is compact but not simple, and the sexy bits are hot. The overall plot arc is now visible, which will help tie the future stories together.

This book was ok, more of a 2.5 star read for me. It focused more on the hookup and sex than on developing the relationship. Suddenly, Kira and Brendan love each other so much that they can't live without each other and they're changing their lives to match it. It didn't ring true for me. The developments that happened at the end of the book with this couple and the one from the previous book hold promise, so I'm not abandoning the series just yet. Hopefully, the next book will be better!

Kira is an alien, orbiting a listening station above Earth. Brandon is a nerd, broadcasting into deep space in the hopes of contacting an advanced civilization that can cure his loneliness. Kira intercepts his messages and responds, breaking the rules she is supposed to live by. When hostile aliens invade the listening station she has to make an escape in a matter of seconds, and she goes to the first place that comes to mind - Brandon's cabin. They both have a lot to learn about their respective societies, and in the meantime those hostile aliens are still out there and there's the distraction - very pleasant distraction - of their immediate physical attraction to one another.
It's a very entertaining read.

Really enjoyed this story. I read it twice in a row I liked it so much. I really liked that there is an established relationship between the two main characters as it made the speed of the physical romance work better for me. I also enjoyed finding out more about what is going on with the vampire space-frogs.
