A book that is sweet, spicy, and packing an emotional punch. I devoired it in two goes (only because I had to sleep lol) and was sad to say goodbye to the main and secondary characters (there's a strong found-family vibe that I'm a sucker for). This series is a gem!

Oh gosh I loved this!! As soon as Ivy put the image of Milo being a big nerdy golden retriever Chris Evans lookalike out there, I was sunk.

I love a hot, buff nerd and Milo was absolutely perfect. He fit against Sam’s edges beautifully and they really worked well together as a couple. Especially him reading to her

💙 “If you run, I’ll find you. I will be there, ready to carry you when your legs grow tired, because you are mine.”

Samantha is a talented, award-winning photographer. She’s independent, strong, stubborn and resilient. Even more, she’s so kind, caring, sassy and fun. And she’s such a great and supportive friend. I loved her so, so much! But after her failed marriage, she’s sworn off men and doesn’t believe in love. However, fate has some very special plans for this lovely curvy human…

And Mylo is one spectacular male! The gorgeous hunk of an alien librarian is so charming, nerdy and flirtatious. Even more, he’s kind, thoughtful, patient, supportive, compassionate and has a fantastic taste in literature. He’s also fiercely protective and so deliciously possessive of the people he cares about. And his draxilio is quite feisty, too. I couldn’t help but adore every single thing about this smokin-hot and absolutely irresistible male!

I absolutely loved everything that happened between Sam and Mylo! Months ago, they had a passionate one-night stand before Sam left Sudbury, a night both could not forget. Neither of them is looking for a relationship but, now that Sam comes back home to take care of her ailing mother and they meet again, sparks fly right from the start. I adored those two together! Their chemistry was fantastic and their banters and teasings were so much fun to read. And I loved the quiet and tender moments they shared together, too. Their relationship was quite the emotional rollercoaster. I really loved that Mylo was so supportive of Sam when she was dealing with everything in her life. And when they couldn’t keep their hands off each other, the passionate moments they shared were off-the-charts hot! Oh, Mylo and that filthy mouth of his! And there was a primal scene… 🫠🫠🫠 I couldn’t get enough of all the deliciously naughty bits. Sam and Mylo were so perfect for each other and more than deserved to find happiness and love together!

In addition, the storyline was spectacular! I loved all the pop culture and book references. And the Monroe brothers getting together is always so much fun. But my heart broke for Sam’s family. And then… there’s Officer Burton… I loathe that man with my whole being and really, really hope he gets everything he deserves very soon.

Overall, the story is another remarkable addition to the series! It’s filled with so much emotion, humor, suspense, drama, action, danger, scorching hot passion and magnificent characters.

I absolutely loved every page of it and cannot wait to see what happens next!

If you like enemies to lovers, but cannot keep their hands off each other PLUS a hot male, alien librarian PLUS adorable brothers PLUS a female main character reevaluating what she wants for herself and the life she wants to live PLUS one night stands that morph into regular night stands?

Then you will absolutely LOVE Her Alien Librarian!

Oh and there is a HUGE dose of fated mate, touch her and die vibes too!

Aliens with blue skin, curved horns, and can shift into a dragon! Sign me up. This is book two in the series. They are interconnected standalones.
But at times I was slightly confused. Because things had obviously happened in book one that would have been helpful to know. But it didn’t overall ruin anything for me.

The FMC, Samantha, is a traveling photographer. She comes home to care for her ailing mother. And that is a struggle to read about. She has dementia and if you’ve ever known anyone going through that it is a rough path. The author did a wonderful job writing knowledgeably and emphatically about the struggle with this disease.

The MMC, Mylo, is a librarian and has that typical nerdy vibe. However, you find out in book one. Or late in book two, that he used to be an assassin. So he has that underlying danger vibe.

Neither character wants anything serious. And they originally met through a one night stand. However, Mylo’s draxilio claims her as his mate. Through the book both characters fight their attraction to each other. And the seriousness of their connection.

This book has a lot of pop culture references. And I know that some readers love that type of thing. However, it really throws me off in books. They also have a lot of underlying references to feminism and homophobia. I don’t mind reading about things like that at all. However, I like when they are just organically a part of the book. This one felt like they were trying too hard to make it a part of the story.

Overall, it’s a good story. Especially for lovers of alien romance. I enjoyed reading it. And would recommend it. I received an ARC of this book for free. I am voluntarily leaving this review.
