Synopsis (Goodreads):

Meet Olivia, a savvy personal shopper with a knack for avoiding commitment and a dreaded annual party to dodge. Her mother’s swanky New Year’s Eve bash is as unavoidable as her parents’ questions about her personal life.

Enter Ruune, a charming alien prince with a reputation for loving and leaving across the galaxy. His arrival in New York could cause issues for the Valorian’s new treaty with Earth, especially if he starts breaking hearts.

Their solution? A fake relationship to shock Olivia's judgmental mother and keep Ruune out of intergalactic trouble. But as they navigate carriage rides, dirty charades, and the glittering world of New York's elite, will their pretend romance turn into something real?

Can Olivia let down her guard and trust an alien with her heart? Will Ruune finally find a reason to stop running? And what happens when their charade is over?

Thoughts on New Year's with an Alien: Ruune, Griff's almost too-charming cousin, has made his way to Earth and finds himself LIKING the human ladies there. Admittedly, he tends to like all the ladies, but he REALLY LIKES Olivia. Not that he realizes it at first because the guy is convinced he's not the type to settle down. Or slow down. Or want to spend forever with one lady.

But he's wrong.

To be fair, Olivia thinks the same about herself. Why limit herself to one individual when there are so many to sample? Sure, the serial dating might be starting to get a little old and there might be a twinge of jealousy for Caroline for finding her special someone, but pfffft. That doesn't mean anything. She's single and happy and she intends to stay that way.

HAHAHA. These two. They're both convinced they're happy with their love 'em and leave 'em ways, but they're not. And the more time they spend with one another? The more they realize how easily they could fall.

A little fake dating, a not-so-fun holiday party, more than a few steamy kisses, an alien prince who is quietly longing for more, and a human lady whose special someone is out of this world. *thumbs up*
