Synopsis (Goodreads):

A charming alien. An adventurous female. An unexpected snowstorm... and only one bed.

Benjar learned at an early age to use his wits to live and his charm to ease his path – and hide his secrets. Even the bond he forms with his military brothers doesn’t completely soothe his troubled soul.

Inspired by his commander’s recent acquisition of a human bride, Benjar decides to find a mate for himself - a calm, nurturing woman who will bring peace to his restless spirit. Instead, he’s irresistibly drawn to a pretty, impetuous female.

No one seems to realize that Ruby has grown up - neither her loving but overprotective older sister nor the men in their small town. But as anxious as she is to find love and adventure, being taken from her bed in the middle of the night by a huge, feline alien isn’t what she anticipated.

Neither of them is who they expect. But when they’re stranded together in an isolated cabin, they might just discover they’ve both found exactly what they need.

Thoughts on Benjar: Well. Benjar and his brothers (not all of them, but several of them!) have come up with a plan to secure themselves brides and...it's honestly not the best plan ever. But it doesn't completely backfire on them (at least so far), so I guess it had some merit.

After spending time with Artek's new bride, the boys decide they're going to head into town and steal some of the lovely local ladies. Which is the not so great part of their plan. BUT...Benjar and his brothers in arms (I mean, I assume the others, although we haven't really had a chance to get to know them yet) are honorable aliens and they not only treat their ladies well, they're wise enough to listen to their instinct when it says one of them ticks all the boxes they didn't know they wanted in a bride.

What I'm trying to say is that Benjar thought he knew what he wanted, but they he laid eyes on Ruby and realized she made his heart go pitter patter way more then the lady he'd originally picked out. So he bride-napped her and they ended up snowed in ALONE and I LOVE WHEN THAT HAPPENS. Did I mention there's only one bed? Because there's only one bed. Yesssssss!

A group of lonely aliens, a lady who wants to be seen for who she is, a little exploratory fun, and more than a few steamy encounters. These aliens might not have come up with the best plan ever to find themselves brides, but it worked out for Benjar and Ruby in the end. *thumbs up*
