Synopsis (Goodreads):
An alien mountain man longing for a wife, the human woman who crashes into his world, and the fake marriage of convenience that feels just a bit too real...Thoughts on Married to the Alien Mountain Man: OH.MY.GOODNESS. Oaken's booooook. The guy is the biggest sweetheart who ever sweethearted and he was so genuinely happy for Garrek and Magnolia even though Magnolia was originally intended as his bride and he's practically pining for a bride of his own and I AM THRILLED TO GET SEE HIM GET HIS HEA.
For most of my life, my beloved ship has been my home. So when I’m forced into a rough emergency landing among the mountains of a planet I’ve never heard of, I’m determined to get her up and running again as quickly as possible.
Except “as quickly as possible” turns out to be at least two weeks. And nobody from off-world is allowed to hang around on Zabria Prinar One – a Zabrian penal colony for convicted murderers – for that long. Unless…
Unless you marry one of said convicted murderers.
Just when I think I’m totally screwed, local alien mountain man Oaken gets down on one knee makes me an offer of marriage I can’t refuse.
It’s only temporary, of course. A fake marriage of convenience that we’ll dissolve after the two-week trial period when my ship is fixed. In the meantime, I’ll be Oaken’s relationship coach. When I’m not working on my ship, I devote myself to preparing this earnest alien sweetheart for his future human bride.
Except things get messy, fast. Lessons on human kissing become far too heated, and late-night conversations grow searingly intimate. The longer I spend with my big, green, gentle, and generous fake husband, the harder it is to accept that he’ll marry someone else after I’m gone. And the more headway I make on repairing my ship, the less I actually want to leave. Even if Oaken is nothing but supportive of my plan.
Even if he never once asks me to stay.
But while Oaken looks ahead to his future with another woman, I suddenly find myself wondering if I could give up the life I’ve always loved to stay by his side.
Could I trade my freedom for a chance at forever?
And how will my pathetic human heart survive if the sort of forever Oaken wants…
Doesn’t include me?
Okay. Garrek and Magnolia and their nearly-feral ward (whom I ADORE) have settled near Oaken while he gets back on his feet. Literally. His broken ankle is what set up the chain of events that led to him missing out on meeting Magnolia. That all turned out well in the end, though, and now he has his people close by.
Then a damaged ship lands unexpectedly in his mountains and Oaken is INSTANTLY smitten with Jaya. Even after she threw a hammer at him. Or maybe because she threw a hammer at him. Regardless, he's more than willing to offer a fourteen day trial marriage so she can stay on planet while she waits for needed parts to be shipped for repairs. Sure, he knows that if she leaves, he'll have two missed romantic connections and that might look bad to any future potential brides, but he also kinda knows Jaya is the one for him. So he goes all in.
Jaya is a little less gung-ho. She just wants to get her ship fixed and head back out. Sure, the big green cowboy is a hunk and a sweetheart and she might kinda like him a little more than she's comfortable with, but her place is NOT planetside and she has no intention of staying. Probably.
Husband lessons, a sex-ay movie date, Killian and his nearly-feral ways, sweet critters, nasty weather, a male who knows his person when he sees her, and a lady who has to take a long look at what she wants for the future (spoiler: it might just be a sweet, green alien cowboy). *thumbs up*
