Synopsis (Goodreads):
How insane is it to marry an alien as a publicity stunt?

I’m Sunny Weathers. You probably recognize me from my reality show, Sunny Weathers Excellent Adventures. I’ve had to perform a lot of crazy stunts in my career but this one takes the cake! The producers are sending me to another planet to become an alien’s mail order bride. I’m not allowed to tell anybody it’s a put-on, and as soon my contract is up, I’ll be leaving planet Dakon. Unfortunately, I hadn’t counted on my attraction to Mr. Tall, “Darq” and Handsome…

I’m Darq. The moment I laid eyes on the female with pretty mud-colored hair and sunny smile, I knew she was mine. Competition for females is fierce, and I was determined to claim a mate from the latest shipment from Earth so I broke the rules. If anyone finds out, my own brother would banish me to the icy wilderness, and I’d lose my mate. I will do anything to keep her…
Thoughts on Alien Attraction: I can't say I agree with Sunny's decision to basically lie to someone who's desperate for a mate, but I do understand how her desperation to help her nephew caused her to do it. The potential for it blowing up in her face (and potentially hurting Darq in the process) was just BIG and not fun.

BUT...Darq also wasn't entirely innocent in his actions. He took a lottery chit when he shouldn't have and basically stole someone's place in choosing a mate. Which is a big no-no for these Dakonians. And which, as you can imagine, leads to some rough times for Darq (and Sunny) when it's discovered.

That said, I think the biggest issue Sunny and Darq have to deal with are the producers for Sunny's show. They're...not nice people. Mayyyybe one of them came through when things got really bad, but they also caused a lot of the roadbumps Sunny and Darq had to deal with and put Sunny in danger. That last part might have been unintentional, BUT STILL.

A lie or two, steamy kisses, and two people who somehow manage to find one another despite everything thrown in their way. *thumbs up*
