Your Mate

Rate this book
Evan isn’t known for his impulse control, but leaping before he looks hasn’t killed him yet.

When a fun new career path of the adult variety leads him directly into the arms…well, tentacles…of Aristotle, the sexiest film star he’s ever met, Evan knows his life will never be the same. Especially when the M word is mentioned before their first date…or their first heated scene. Mates.

Jumping headfirst into life isn’t always logical, but sometimes in life and in love, passion takes the reins.

Author’s Note: This is a standalone novella that takes place before the start of book one, but it is not intended to be a prequel to this series. This is the story of the internet couple that is viewed in several of the other books. It was originally released as part of the Tentacle Tales anthology. Nothing has been added for this re-release.

In this Novella Evan is not known for controlling his impulses and when an opportunity to have a career path in adult films he knows his life will never be the same - especially as his interview (or first scene) features Aristotle who has tentacles which tease and touch and the M word is mentioned. Jumping headfirst into life isn’t always logical, but sometimes in life and in love, the passion takes the reins.

I enjoyed this novella which was a reasonable introduction to the New Neighbours and the aliens with tentacles who live to give pleasure. I did find Evan's relaxed attitude to being the mate of an alien on their first meeting a little strange but it was still an enjoyable read. Easy to read and understand. Contains mature content which could be loosely thought of as MM.

Please note - this was originally released as part of the Tentacle Tales anthology. Nothing has been added for this re-release.

Absolutely delicious! These two were mentioned in the first book of the series, My Cameron, and knowing now that they initially met at the studio they work at makes their story even better. I love this adorable world the author's created -- it's a bit ridiculous, yet such a sexy/fun place!

A great job interview

A quick prequel to “the new neighbours” books. Super fun, just like the others in the series.

Who doesn’t love a tentacle daddy/master/sir that derives their pleasure 100% from their little human.

3.5 stars: entertainment industry

Novella length story by Innes features MCs that mate. Evan, a 21yo university graduate chases after his perfect career, meeting Aristotle, a tentacled alien. In highly graphic prose, the Dom/sub porn scenes deliver.

Your Mate

This was a fun story about an alien, whose race has recently moved to Earth, and a young man who goes to an interview for an adult entertainment job and ends up mates to the alien. It is very sexy, sometimes sweet and ends with an HEA.

Love this series

This was a great addition to the series. The MC thoughts were so funny. I also love the Allen's speech patterns

fun

Twist on aliens I haven’t read before. It was very hot and fun and exciting. I live fated mates and this was also a different twist on that trope as well.

I had such a great time reading this. Laughed so much. Perfect addition to the series. I love how this author can make any genre her own.

Fast and fabulous

I adored this fast paced tale about the poem star couple mentioned in all The New Neighbors books. I would love more shorts set in this world.

Cute, funny, and very charming, M.A. Innes' Your Mate is just as enjoyable as the other books in The New Neighbors series. You can read all of them as standalones.
