Publisher's summary

Will a hot-blooded, seven-foot-tall, scaly green alien meet his match in a feisty woman from Earth?

After losing her husband, Sadie is afraid of getting her heart broken again. On a dare, she signs up for the Extraterrestrial Matchmaking Service, and she's paired with Bryk, a seven-foot-tall, scaled alien from a distant world. At their first touch, a gleaming symbol appears on her palm. Bryk tells her it's a matebond, and she's his destined mate. He makes her pulse sing, but does she dare take a chance with someone new?

When Bryk applies for the Selection, he's matched with Sadie. At their first meet-up, his matebond ignites and now he'll do anything he can to win her heart. But Sadie has been hurt in the past and is afraid to trust. Refusing to admit defeat, Bryk talks her into giving him seven days to convince her she wants to stay. Bryk will need to pull out every Crakairian trick he can think of to win her heart.

Can two very different souls find love with each other on a planet far from Earth?

short but sweet

It's a good story but each is short enough I wish they were a bundle deal.

Soooo good!!

This book was amazing! It is has lots of action, drama, definitely steam, and DRAGONS!!

Enjoyable but Short

I am enjoying this series. Because they are short, I wish they came in bundles.

The dialogue makes me laugh

I don’t usually like when books are in third person but maybe with because of the narrators, it’s actually pretty funny. I’m a bit obsessed with alien/human romance so I’d recommend this series so far. Onto book 3!

Excellent

Loved this. Couldn't put it down. Good humor too. Bruk runs into an old buddy.

Bad azz human female

Totally worth it. Different from her friend Evie who is with Vork. Great action and open to the experience. Will like to the good park again. Bryk is a hoot. It both of them together and they are all but adrenaline junkies in their own right. To protect and to love.
Love the actors they are the go to in this series. Love them.

Good Enough!

It dragged a little, not as exciting as book 1… but I wanted to finish it!

Great, no, AWESOME SET OF BOOKS

BUY ALL THE BOOKS IN THIS SERIES, IT'S WORTH IT. The story line great combo of everything ; sexy, cute, bang your brains out lusty, yet cute and humorous and action adventure. I bought the entire series, its really that good and super binge worthy.

I wonder if the author has considered writing more in this series. Such as a sexy mature male and not wanting children since are all grown up and married and he want's a younger mate matched bride but no children needed and... Another one who gets mate matched with a luscious big woman who is "Apple " shaped with thick thighs and is big not just curvy.
It would be awesome if this author or any author these types of books were all size inclusive and not in a sense unintentionally fat shaming.
Add differences would great too, and females with different ethnic backgrounds would be great. Diversity and size inclusive would be great.

I Adore The Translation Mix-Ups

BRYK is the second insta-lust Science Fiction Romance novel in Ava Ross’s humorous Mail-Order Brides of Crakair series. I’ve really enjoyed the series so far. One thing that I absolutely adore about these books is how Ross has handled the language translation issue. It’s funny and can even be charming. Another thing that I like about this series is that each book stands alone. Both of the main characters were introduced in the previous book but you don’t need to have read that story to know what’s happening in this one. Of course if you read/listen to them in order it will enhance your experience. Still another great thing that I’ve noticed by reading/listening to this series is that Ross creates characters that are likable. The reader can get easily invested in them and the story.

While the plot of BRYK was predictable it was filled with all sorts of fun stuff. We had flirty banter between the couple as well as some He-Man tactics. There were also sexy times and some action. The attraction between the MCs was undeniable. Bryk was a great guy who only wanted what was best for Sadie. Even if it lead him to make stupid choices. Sadie on the other hand showed that despite their size differences (😉 cute story involving Bryk’s son on this subject) she had the strength to handle both the new world she was on and to open herself up to another person again. Or in this case two people since she was getting both a husband and son in this deal.

Here’s where I feel the need to say what I found disappointing about this book. What mainly bothers me is that there were a few scenes where Bryk’s son is adamant that Bryk work out a relationship with Sadie. However we only really get one scene with him and her. I would have somehow liked to have gotten at least one other bonding moment/scene between potential stepmother and stepson. I was also felt let down by the predictability of the plot. I immediately knew what the main conflict was going to be when the villain was first introduced.

Teddy Hamilton and Tawnia Murray both did fabulous jobs with the story. I really took pleasure in their performances. Although in truth I do wish that both of the narrators had put more effort into differentiating the different male and female secondary characters with voice changes. However I was pleased that Bryk’s son got his own voice.

I really enjoy these books

Nice balance of adventure, love, humor and steamy scenes. This series is worth a listen if you enjoy alien romance
