Synopsis (Goodreads):
A sweet alien rancher, a wary human woman, and the mail-order marriage that changes everything…

I’ve been raised by my wealthy family to be one thing and one thing only: a wife. So when my parent-picked fiancĂ© turns out to be a total creep and my family disowns me for breaking off the engagement, I do the only thing I can. Even if it’s the last thing I want.

I get engaged to someone else.

That someone else turns out to be an alien rancher named Fallon. He’s everything the people I grew up with aren’t. He’s honest, patient, adorably dopey, and for some unfathomable reason, entirely devoted to me.

It’s almost terrifying, how much Fallon loves me. It’s definitely terrifying, the way I want to let him.

But when my past collides with my present, I’m forced to choose:

Do I retreat to the cold safety of my old world?

Or do I stand by the man who’s changing absolutely everything?

Even me?
Thoughts on Wrangled by the Alien Rancher: We're back on Zabria Prinar One with the sweet, marshmallow-y Fallon about to meet his special someone. Much like Cherry, Darcy had her reasons for joining the bride program and she's more resigned to the whole marriage thing than excited. Then she meets Fallon and he's absolutely gaga for her from the first moment. Which throws Darcy. In a big way.

As it turns out, Darcy had been trained by her uptight (and wealthy) family how to be the perfect wife. And having Fallon excited and thrilled and otherwise delighted to have Darcy around is the exact opposite of what she'd seen in her own family. Not only that, Fallon is shockingly self-sufficient. He doesn't need her to clean or cook or any of the things she'd been taught were an integral part of her duties as a wife. In fact, her new husband practically trips over himself to make sure she pampered (or as pampered as she can be on a dusty planet) and cared for. It's sweet and confusing and it doesn't take long before Darcy is having some big feelings for the sweet alien who she married.

A little familial baggage that needs to be dealt with, a *ahem* slight misunderstanding regarding alien anatomy, some hilariously mispronounced words (and more than a little confusion when it comes to human sayings), an adorable golden retriever of a male, and a lady who finds a male who adores her just for being her. MAN, I like these Zabrians. *thumbs up*
