Coinkn, a seller of all things illegal across the galaxy, stumbles across a strange crate while collecting his goods. He doesn’t know it at the time—but this is one delivery that will change his life forever.
Jessica, a normal, everyday human salesperson, unexpectedly finds herself in the hands of a grumpy, dragon alien. She is lost and confused, somehow in outer space with no explanation of how she got there. Her normal life is being flipped upside down—but maybe she likes it better this way.
Can these two beings, both outcasts in their own worlds, learn to live with each other? Can they push past their differences? And maybe even find an unexpected love along the way?
Daisy Shell's love of the written word began as a child, as it does for many other authors. Daisy was a voracious reader from a young age, devouring anything she could get her hands on. Daisy discovered that she preferred her books to be a little spicy as she grew older, and she soon began writing her own romance stories. Daisy is probably indulging her mild Animal Crossing addiction, eating sushi with her husband, or going for walks with dog Echo when she isn't writing or working.
i just finished Alien's Delivery! what a stinking cute story!!! i enjoyed how even though it was a shorter story, their relationship didn't feel rushed at all! i loved how their relationship was built. and they were so sweet together 🙂 loved it.
Daisy Shell is a new author for me and while I enjoy reading longish story - every now and again I go for a shorter one. Daisy's sweet story is one I thoroughly enjoyed. The character build-up was awesome and I really look forward to more of Daisy's books. Okay, I agree that there were some things in there that could be a bit off-putting - Daisy comfort eats and her guy lives at home with his mother. So what? They are both human traits that I could point to hundreds of people alive today who have the same issue. To me that is not reason to put a book aside and not pass on how enjoyable the story was. I love stories where the characters show weakness of a sort, but use each other to bring out the best in each other, and Daisy does that in this story. Highly recommend this author.
For a short story, the author really builds up her characters. I was a little sad when the story ended. I need to check and see if the author has any longer stories because I feel they will be good.
A cute romance about a human and a lizard man. I found the book to be entertaining and a little funny. The ending was hilarious because she worried about having a clutch of eggs.
I gave it 4 stars. The writing was excellent, with only a few scattered grammatical errors that did not detract from the storyline. The cover is… out of this world! (Sorry, that pun was begging for release.) The story is colorful, imaginative, and engaging. It is easy to find yourself vying for the good (bad) guy.
Synapsis centers around a mixed-race alien named Coinkn. His mixed heritage makes him persona non grata; he is half-Sudat, half-Bosce, and 100% unapologetic badass. These aliens are described as dragon men with deep red skin, tails, and wings, and they scour space in a crime-ridden sector, plundering anything that falls in their path. Coinkn captures a strange ship and takes possession of an odd box containing a human female locked in stasis. Her name is Jessica, and she wakes without any knowledge of how she came to be there. Naturally, there is a language barrier that is overcome by a unique device he attaches to her neck, much like a collar. Despite assurances that he means her no harm, Coinkn does what any eligible alien bachelor would do in the same situation. He takes her to meet his mother—
Alien Delivery is a quick and easy read with just the right amount of spice to warm the blood without being raunchy. It is also a small glimpse into a bigger alien universe that I am not privy to (yet), so I have to reserve full judgment and defer certain questions/criticisms until I have a better understanding of said universe. For now, I will leave it at this: good read, entertaining as hell, humorous and spicy, and leaving me curious to know more about this colorful world.
I wish there had been a little more tension build-up to the finale. A kidnapped human woman finding herself alone and far from home (much less her planet) would have…issues. One thing that stands out to me (knowing there is more to the story) are the wings. The aliens have wings, but they don’t fly. I hope that it develops in other books, but for now, it bounces around in my head like an unanswered riddle.

For a novella, it is relatively slow-paced. I also didn't care for either of the mains. She spends a lot of her time on the planet depressed and thinking about her time on earth, but then we find out that she was high all the time, depressed, and her family and friends suck. That was such a switch-up.
There was also a point where she says that he only talks to her the way he does because that's how life is on the planet, and he doesn't want her. And then, two or three pages later, she says she can tell he wants her, and you find out she's been attempting to seduce him, and it's like, which one is it then?
This was fine. I finished it. That's about all I got.
