Synopsis (Goodreads):

What do you do when your planet runs out of women? Send for takeout, of course.

Joran, Crown Prince of Pyros, needs to claim his mate in order to ascend to the throne one day. The problem? His destined mate isn't on Pyros.

When a galaxy-wide search uncovers a backwater world full of potential mates for Joran and the other unmated males on his planet, plans are set in motion and Star-Crossed Dating is created. Now, the first wave of men are on their way to claim their unsuspecting brides. Joran's mission: Go to Earth, claim his mate and bring her back to Pyros. How hard could it be?

This book contains a redheaded barista who doesn't believe in aliens, and a prince who is used to getting anything he wants without having to work for it ... until now.

Thoughts on Joran: Those alien mail order brides, man. Wait. Actually, the brides are human. It's the dudes who are alien. Alien and smokin' hot, as it turns out. A little bossy, too. Considering Joran is the Crown Prince of his people, I guess that's to be expected, though.

Still, I imagine these aliens are going to hit a few rough patches with the way they autocratically order their special lady friends to do things and make decisions for them without giving them any say. Live and learn, alien bros. Live and learn.

Anywho. Joran and Maggie. He's an alien prince, she's a barista who doesn't look like she has the best luck with men. I'm guessing you can imagine the sparks that fly when Joran swoops in and LITERALLY spirits her away from everything she's known. Actually, those sparks weren't terrible. Mostly because Maggie's willing to listen to why Joran did what he did. I mean, eventually she listens. THESE THINGS TAKE TIME, OKAY?

These Mail Order Brides books tend to hit the spot for me. I want something short, sexy, and full of aliens who might be big stuff on their planet, but tend to make some fantastically awkward mistakes when they find their special someone. *thumbs up*
