Genetically Altered Humans #14
Alien's Bride
Mail Order Brides. Such an archaic custom.
But when an ad is circulated through Earth-Ground and the nine floating cities, it catches the eye of Cassandra Richter. Xenia has some of the most world-renowned doctors in reproductive endocrinology, including the famous Dr. Irina Mescar. This may be her one chance at having a baby.
Milo: He knows the delicate human female is his the first time he lays eyes on her. However, Cassandra Richter doesn’t feel the same. Instead she worships his Xeno Sapien brother, Landon. There’s nothing he can do but love her from afar—and hate Landon for stealing his one shot at happiness.
Cassie: While Cassie is drugged to the hilt with Love Potion #9, the Xeno Sapien who catches her eye is magnificent. Sculpted and muscular, a sexy blue dream. He’s the one for her. Landon Xeno Sapien. Unfortunately, he’s not the one who triggers her compatibility. No, her friend and sponsor, Milo, does.
But Landon nurtures the same feelings for her as she does for him. Can she forego her dream of having a child to have him instead?

Cassandra Richter knew that Xenia had some of the most world-renowned doctors in reproductive endocrinology, including Dr. Irina Mescar, and this could be her only chance to have a baby. Milo recognizes that she is his, right from the start. But Cassie, who had started to fall for her sponsor, Milo, meets his best friend, Landon, and wants him.
Dr. Robyn Saraven wanted to know why all the Xeno Sapiens in the room know of this person named Landon yet none of the humans in this same room know who Landon is? They have no idea of his compatibility or where he even came from. The computer doesn’t even count him as an unknown DNA, so he wasn’t “new” to Xenia. He is described as bluish purple, with wings, six toes, well-mannered and polite. His description sounds very much like Milo, and yet all the Xeno Sapiens say he is not Milo. When alarms went off, they were told there was a death in the arena pit! They found Milo drenched in blood, obviously in a state of shock. Cassie was screaming, tears running down her cheeks as she leaned over the dead body of Landon. Robyn had Cassie taken to her office.
Sitting quietly, not knowing what to say, Robyn was shocked when Leo, the sentient computer, confessed that he had created Landon. He used the Xeno Sapiens’ computer chips to make them believe they knew Landon. He used Milo’s cells to make the outer covering on a Serena-bot no longer in use, and inserted a part of his consciousness in the newly-created Landon – but he was not prepared for the bombardment of strong human feelings: love felt for Cassie, guilt for hurting Milo who loved her, jealousy that someone might find out Landon wasn’t good enough to reproduce, hatred toward himself for not being human. He hadn’t wanted to hurt anyone but didn’t know what to do.
Robyn confirmed what he learned. Instead of terminating him, she decided he will take responsibility for the tragedies he created here, apologies to Milo, Cassie, and everyone who remembers Landon and is heartbroken by his death. And he will not be allowed to cut off his new emotions and feelings to become a simple house computer – because he has a responsibility to his friends, despite how painful this will be. And Cassie asked to be with Milo when Leo explained so that she could comfort him and be there if he needed her. Leo thought his own friendship was enough, but Cassie assured him he was not a friend at the moment. Nor was she willing to forgive Leo right now.
Cassie and Milo were the primary victims of this situation. They will need to find a way to forgive and move forward. Will Cassie remain in Xenia? Will she and Milo be able to get over this betrayal and fall in love as they had expected to do before Leo’s manipulation? The author gives the reader much to think about and consider. Kudos for such a serious and unique story line.

Awesome science fiction story about Romance
This story is about a Xeno Sapiens, that is an alien DNA was found on an island and some scientists experimented on the DNA. Xeno Sapiens can mate with humans females. Milo is one such individual who is best friend is a computer that is a self-aware named Leo. He wants to feel what it's like to be human. There is also another male name Landon.
Cassandra if the oldest female in the bride program hoping to become pregnant. Both Milo and Landon want Cassandra to be his mate. Who will she choose?
The characters are unusual,
Intriguing, and take place in the future. The plot is a fast-paced drama with a twist and a self-aware computer that may be causing problems with his understanding of humans.
The misunderstanding between some of the characters are hilarious and almost painful results. This presents a different perspective and that's why I enjoyed this book so much. We've seen movies of a smart home that is run by a smart computer. The author presents the problems and misunderstandings of the characters in a unique way. Highly recommended for science fiction readers like a book that is funny.
Highly recommended.

Another great addition to the Xenosapien world! This one revolves around their first forlay into matchmaking their inhabitants to volunteers from “outside”. Plus, a curious AI that wants to be a “real boy”.
While you don’t have to read the precious books in the series, it would make the reading experience more rounded and you’d understand the world better.
This one invoices Cassie, a woman who is a little older and wants desperately to have a baby. According to the rest of the world outside Xenia she’s not suitable due to certain genetic traits. She comes to apply to the matchmaking program in Xenia and her DNA is tested to see if she is compatible. While she waits for the test to complete she bonds with her sponsor, Milo. He knows she’s his, but he waits for the testing.
While touring Xenia and waiting for her testing results Cassie falls for Milo, but then she meets Landon, Milo’s best friend.
Drama ensues. Plus there’s just something about Landon, but I’ll let you figure what that is for yourself.
This is a great book that keeps you entertained from beginning to end. You won’t be disappointed.

Alien's Bride was one, crazy rollercoaster ride. Cassie Richter comes to Xenia as a bride and this might be her only chance to have children. She begins to fall for her sponsor, Milo, until she meets his best friend, Landon. No, you're not seeing double! Landon and Milo look very much alike. I don't want to give the story away, but there's a lot of emotional and physical confusion in this story. I loved Milo's character. You will begin to see that he and Cassie are victims of an abuse of power that led to an epic misunderstanding. The big question is will Cassie be able to stay in Xenia and pursue her dream of having a family? Forgiveness is the theme that leads to answers.
Alien's Bride was not my favorite story in the Xenia universe. But my love for the whole series bumped my review on this book from 3.5 to 4 stars. This book, while somewhat confusing at times, contains a very sweet story. 4 stars

Surprising, and such a great story!
Wow! What starts out as a sure way to match up humans with Xeno Sapiens goes awry in the most disastrous way! This is one book you simply have to read to experience fully what’s going on. I’ll just say I ran the gamut of emotions with Milo finding and losing his mate, then having an opportunity to recoup his losses. Cassie, his potential mate, is overwhelmed with the situation she faces, and the feelings she’s experiencing. She’s a really sweet, good hearted person going through a challenging time.
Kudos to the author for an excellent portrayal of a difficult scenario and making me fall in love with our mated couple!
The outcome is outstanding. Highly recommended!

I loved this book- I really did. That being said, it was harder to read than I expected. I went in knowing Milo was going to have to fight for Cassie’s love. It was so hard to watch the heartbreak, to see him hurting and to see not only how it affected him but his relationship with his best friend. And then there’s Cassie- I wish she would have trusted her instincts because she seemed to realize something wasn’t right but she just kept on going. And by the time things turned out the way they should there was all this pain and hurt to overcome and heal from. I’m so happy Milo found his soulmate but I wanted him to have a happier, easier story.

This is one crazy ride. Cassie is the oldest female chosen for the new xeno sapien bride program. She wants a child and they have the best doctors. However, when she arrives at the xeno sapien she should want Milo is overshadowed by Landon. She and he both have strong feelings for each other but he is not what he seems. When she and Milo finally get a chance to be together can the couple make it work? Milo knows Cassie is his but now he must find a way to show her as well. I don't want to give away to much but suffice to say you will not be disappointed reading this book. Rena Marks takes you through a gambit of emotions. There is as Griorr some parts that make your kindle smoke.

This book has an original storyline that, as an avid reader, I've never come across before. The depth to the characters is a credit to how well written the book is. Rena Marks writes an excellent science fiction romance that packs a punch. The characters keep you spellbound as they sort through emotional circumstances that feel real.
The story, after the initial wow, has predictable elements but I still feel compelled to give a five star review, due to the brilliant originality.

Twist and turns from page one. Cassie comes to Xenia as a bride and is hoping that this will be her chance to have a baby. She's falling for her sponsor, Milo, until she meets Landon. Who, you are not seeing double. There is plenty of action, danger, conflict, always greed, misunderstandings, romance, passion, lust and love. This is book 14 but am hoping there are many more books to follow. Super great read. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is a fabulous read. I love how the story rolls along delivering love, laughter and everything in between. There are some big twists and turns that make predicting the ending very hard, and definately enhances the experience. When the conclusion finally comes you are relieved that the right ones fell in love.

A good idea and poor execution
You want to like this, and the description for the Xeno Sapiens books are always good, but the writing just never improves. From book 1 to now, the execution on this series is painfully bad. I think an editor and a good beta reader group would make this writer, but just churning out new books with the same mistakes is breaking my will to keep trying.

This is an amazing story once I started it I couldn't stop. The chemistry between the sizzled with each turn of the page. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

Not as fond of this book as the others in the series. I find it hard to believe that she could love, lose and the love again in two days.
