Synopsis (Goodreads):

Wife Wanted: Single Alien Dad Needs a Mate

Tragedy left Merit as the guardian to two young kits and he’s in over his head. He needs help. He has no time for romance and doesn’t think he needs it. He applies to Celestial Mates, willing to take the first available female, even a flat-faced, ugly human.

What he gets is a woman whose mind challenges him and patience humbles him.

He brought her to his planet under false pretenses. Now he hopes he can make it right before she leaves for good.

Thoughts on Have Tail, Will Travel: Merit joins Celestial Mates so he could find someone to help him with the day-to-day stuff he's getting buried under after suddenly becoming guardian to his brother's two children. The romance side would be nice, but he's tells himself he won't be upset if it doesn't happen. Uh-huh. Right.

Kal, on the other hand, is hoping her "perfect match" is just that. She doesn't mind that he has two children. She doesn't mind that he lives on a distant planet. She really just wants someone who wants her, the rest can be dealt with. Except...Merit has secrets and his sister is constantly poking at Kal and, while she likes the children, she wants to be more than a nanny and housekeeper.

Not going to lie, while I kind of get why Merit didn't spill all his reasons and secrets from the get-go, he put Kal in some not so great situations by not explaining things. That said, everything worked out in the end. It only took a little danger and Kal being understanding enough to not walk away to make things work.
