Publisher's summary

Being a hero isn't a walk on Mars!

Alexander S. Ryker dreams of becoming a hero, but dreams are hard to achieve when you’ve caused several million credits worth of property damage. Being expelled from the Mars Police Academy isn’t helping his case. Crushed, Alex encounters a girl named Gabrielle Angelise in a meeting that will change his life forever.

Gabrielle is an alien! She’s also on the run. Alex wonders if this is the chance that he’s been waiting for, the chance to finally become a hero. Opportunities like this don’t come often, or ever, and so Alex steps up to protect Gabrielle and make his dream a reality. He will become a hero - if the strain from living with an alien bombshell doesn’t kill him first!

Fans of To Love-Ru who wanted a better protagonist will enjoy this series.

Silly But Fun

This isn't hard reading material by any means, and it's just a step above smut fiction, but Amber Lee Connors raises it up into something that feels like it's more than it is, and adds so much with her voices. The story is a lot of fun with her narrating.

A very fun Audiobook

This was a very enjoyable audiobook, found my self laughing and really enjoying it. Was hoping to fine the 2nd one as a audiobook but ended up buying the kindle version. I hope the second and all the other will make it to audiobook format soon. Thank you for a fun time

Not a MOIST unlikely hero

Amber Lee Connors does the voice work of this light novel in a straightforward manner that doesn't offer a whole lot of range but is still pleasant to listen to and handles the subject matter well. At just under 6 hours, there's a lot to listen to here, but the story itself meanders a lot and is a bit problematic. It advertises itself as a harem, but by the end of it the main character only has one fiance. It's also "anime as all get out" which will make or break one's desire to purchase this depending on their tastes. This shouldn't be of much surprise considering the type of stories Brandon Varnell is best known for. Overall, a solid listen if you like this type of anime-inspired story, but problematic in how certain things are characterized if you don't.

To Love Ru on Mars

If you're interested in a respin of To Love Ru and don't mind a story that is so obviously fan fiction, go for it.

Loved it

Love the bug. It was a great beginning to the start of a promising series. Great a narrator also. Can't wait for the next one.

A great adventure! Boy rescues girl, his father was a hero!

A former cadet at the academy, rescues a young girl his age. He then decided to protect her from her attempted kidnappers. Till he finds out something, that is hard to believe. (The former cadet is also an inventor of tools that don’t always work right, you will laugh your head off.) please check this audiobook out!

decent story

I started reading not knowing it was a teen / preteen book. not my cup of tea . since all the mc s were 16 or under obviously there was no sex scenes. and high school romance is not my thing. I thought the writing , story and narration was good so I gave it a favorable rating. In my defense the description said. the mc was kicked out of the police academy so I thought he was older than 16.

My first Harem Anime Audiobook

I watched lots of Harem themed anime and read manga of the same genre. I recognized each harem situations as I listened to the story and keeps getting better every minute. Clearly like To Love Ru but more mature and to the point. Can’t wait to hear more of this exciting adventure. Amber Lee Connors makes the perfect voice for Gabrielle in an anime.

Not bad.

I wish they'd use both genders in the narrating. This lady is good but, Graphic Audio spoiled me.

Light hearted adventure story

This is one of those light hearted adventure stories where the subject matter is easy going, moves along briskly and is just all around enjoyable for a light listen
