Crash-Landed in Love is a fluffy, sweet story of fated-mates who never felt like they belonged anywhere, but definitely belong together. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to read something that is fun, sweet, and silly.
The characters and plot of this are absolutely ridiculous, but in a way that makes for a very fun read. There are a lot of spicy scenes and very little plot, but it’s entertaining.
The narrator, Michael Ferraiuolo, helped sell me on the book. I think I liked it better as an audiobook than I would have if I read a print book. Ferraiuolo is one of my favorite narrators, especially for humorous titles because his comedic delivery is just superb.
I should’ve realized from the comment “life finds a way” in the description that the book is mpreg, but I didn’t, so that threw me. I usually have to be in the mood for that kind of book, but it was fun enough that I didn’t mind.
In some ways, I felt like this book was longer than it needed to be for the kind and amount of plot that it had. I got a little impatient with the characters during the height of the “conflict,” but overall I enjoyed the book. I’m planning to read the next one.

I really enjoyed the start of *Crash-Landed in Love*—it hooked me right away with its humor and the adorable dynamic between Jude and Al. Their interactions were fun, and I found myself rooting for them from the beginning. Al, in particular, was such a sweet character, and his charm made the story even more enjoyable.
But then came the dreaded 50-80% breakup, and I just didn’t get it. The miscommunication trope isn’t my favorite, and this one felt especially unnecessary. It dragged on way longer than it needed to, making me frustrated with Jude’s back-and-forth. I kept thinking, “Just make up your mind already!”
That said, the book still had its moments. It was cute, funny, and had an overall enjoyable vibe, even if it meandered a bit. If you can push through the rough middle section, it’s a fun listen with a sweet alien romance at its core.

This is such a funny and emotional read for me, and I loved every second. Jude is a struggling art major with a less than supportive family unit and a cheating ex-boyfriend. When he drives out to the desert to do some moping while star gazing, Jude witnesses the crash of an alien spaceship...and the alien that was piloting said ship. Jude, ever the kind and helpful person, takes the alien home so he can start working on devices to help him contact his planet for a ride home. Al Leon (the human name that Jude gives him) also comes from a family where he feels less-than and was joy riding when he crashed his junker spaceship on Earth. Al is taken immediately with Jude, especially his hair, and once they touch Al knows Jude is his true mate. Al takes a human shape as a disguise, using his touch telepathy and romance book covers as a guide to what form would be most pleasing to Jude. He hits it out of the park, Jude has never seen anyone so beautiful and he can't really fight off his mounting attraction. Al learns English quickly, but not enough to head off a HUGE miscommunication about what their relationship is and the consequences of it.
The choppy English that Al speaks is so cute and hilarious. He's got very little filter and the human things that upset him are so funny. I really love the idea of a super hot dork, and Al just fits that to a tee. The side characters are also a hoot and add a lot to the story. One of my favorite parts is when Al's parents come to Earth and are truly terrible at trying to fit in with our culture. And while it is funny, there are some truly emotional parts that had me misting up. I wanted their happy ending so much and the pay off was excellent.

“Crash-Landed in Love” by Piper Scott and Renee Fox is a highly entertaining and spicy read. Al is such a sweet, clueless and loveable alien and Jude is just a regular human trying to make it in this world. The storyline is fun and it is funny but at the same time there is some realness. Jude and Al are just regular guys within their own worlds. They each have had struggles. These things bring a bit of a Hurt/Comfort feel to the book and there are parts with this that temper the humor, but enhance the characters. I really like Jude since I can relate to some of his struggles, but, Al… Al is everything that is good and he deserves the best. Their HEA is well done and I hope to see them again as the series progresses.
Michael Ferraiuolo narrated this audiobook. I felt the characters and the world were enhanced by his performance. The production quality was good and pacing was just right.
- I will add a little note about an aspect of audiobooks I know some people have struggles with. There are some words in the alien language that are given a different tone or reverberation. It can be uncomfortable to listen to and I had to take breaks during the parts where this was used the most. But aside from that… it was great!
I received a copy of this audiobook and this is my honest opinion.

I enjoyed the first half of this book so much, the setup and introductions fof Al & Jude were lovely. Their chemistry, the bond and the spice is off the charts. I enjoyed their developing relationship and feels.
Sadly the language barrier and differences in species prove to much here, as after some time skip Al reveals Jude is pregnant. Which he thought Jude already knew, honestly they're both at fault as Jude never asks any questions about Al/his home when think about.
Al is simply to curious about Earth and humans, so his lifestyle doesn't really come up in discussion only his pov until the revelations.
50% breakup is not for me, especially when Jude then feels like a different character and a complete dick. His indecisiveness and Als heartbreak, willing to take anything he can get even with Jude telling him to leave and take the babies when arrive. Along with saying he doesn't love him, just so frustrating.
Now I may have kept going if Jude's pov saved him, his thoughts were improved but he was too much up his own ass and his problems to try to accept anyone in. His family are awful and the ex, so can see why his worried and holding back but done in such a horrible way.
The treatment of Al was awful and I was all for Al being spiteful, he had every right and yet his focus was still only ever on Jude. Anyway I just lost interest in continuing as no longer care for one of the MCs.

Hmm
So this book started great and I was HOOKED. It was funny and I was just obsessed with these two. But then there was a…50-80% breakup that literally made no sense.
None.
Blahhhhh.
