 Zylar has one more shot to pass the mating tests in place on his planet if he has any hope of starting a family. He has spent a long time preparing his next match but all goes array during a solar storm and he accidentally ends up in the wrong place in space and abducts a woman from Earth instead of his intended mate. 

This is definitely a romp. And I love the quirkiness, especially coming from the talking dog. Beryl just rolls with it and the conflict isn’t coming from the bonkers plot. Always refreshing to have enough world building and plot to keep this story interesting beyond just the fun connection between this human and her alien.
