Aliens on Earth by Mandy Melanson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 Stars

Aliens On Earth is a fantastic collection of short sci-fi romance stories from some incredibly talented authors. This book contains 36 captivating stories- so there are many hours of engrossing reading to be had and there’s definitely something here to suit all sci-fi romance lovers.
There are a huge variety of stories here with a plethora of interesting human and alien characters who are all so diverse and wonderfully crafted into unique individuals who you will find so easy to connect with.
So, get comfortable and settle in for some wonderful reading set to captivate you through every page. I really enjoyed a few hours exploring this wonderful anthology, and I am sure that you will love this collection just as much as I have!
I won’t review every book, even though I enjoyed them all, as that would take forever for you to read- so I will choose just a few of the ones that stood out for me to give you a bit of an idea of what you might find between these covers.

The Collection Contains:

–Alice’s Illusions By: Maya Black

–The Chosen By: Tori Kellett

–The Alien and the Crime Boss By: Naomi Valkyrie
This is a well-woven sci-fi mafia MM romance with aliens, action, adventure, danger, high stakes, suspense, agendas, fated mates, and much more. Leilphun escapes his home world and arrives on earth and into a situation he never anticipated. Kasper Kingston has a plan and can’t afford any distractions or mistakes- but fate has its own agenda. I loved this story so much. Loved the characters, the world-building, and other clever touches, and although this is a short story, it has the impact of a much longer novel. Definitely one of my favourites of this collection. Can always count on Ms. Valkyrie for an original and captivating read.

–Dark Thief By: Melissa Riddell

–Mated to the Serpent Prince By: J.C. Brown & Lena Lane

–My Aliens Mates Recky’s Diary (Excerpts) By: Jodie A’Lores

–Prodigal Granddaughter By: Marley Tobin

–Exiled By: Aurora Hunter
-Her Alien Rock Star (Her Alien Hero Series Book #1) By: Elle Ryan
This is the shortest story in the collection, but never-the-less left quite an impression on me. AJ is out with friends when a surprising blast form the past brining unresolved emotions bubbling to the surface. Ceol is the sexy intergalactic superstar that left AJ to go on tour with his band and never came back. She was always on his mind, and he always hoped that they would reconnect. Now they have a second chance- can he convince her that they belong together? A sweet, hot and steamy second chance alien romance. I will definitely be keeping my eye out for the rest of this story/series.
*Special mention to the ‘special appendage/s’

–Taken By the Asani By: Elizabeth Dunlap
This is a cute, sweet, sexy, and very steamy MM sci-fi romance with an arranged marriage aspect that gave this story an extra element of interest with lots more to keep you engrossed the whole way through. Lux and Raza were so perfect for each other. I was rooting for them right from the get-go. This is also a first for me- with the MPreg element, as I had never read one before and wasn’t sure I would ‘like’ that element in a story, but after this story I might just be a convert now. Another stand-out in this collection.

–Xalan Claimed By: A.J. Mullican
I really enjoyed this sexy story. It is a sci-fi romance with plenty of humour, banter, steam, and a touch of destiny.
Amber’s been burned by love- so after she caught her husband cheating, she filed for divorce and moved into a cabin on a lake and proceeded to make a comfortable, although lonely, life for herself. What happens when a sexy alien literally crashes his ship into the lake right off her pier? Well get set for things to take a sizzling turn. The language barrier definitely added humour to the whole encounter. And his special appendages certainly grabbed Amber’s (and my) attention. The story is set to continue in the full novel set to release in Fall, as this was an enticing teaser. I will definitely be grabbing a copy when it releases to continue Amber and Q’on’s story.

–Nova Lost By: Kerry Keller & Kira Roman

–Haven On Earth By: K. Rose

–Her Secret Alien By: Susanna Eastman

–A Ruthless Bargain (Alien Enforcers Book #1) By: Zadie Fox

–A Mate For Haax (Mated to the Grekarian Series Book #2) By: Evie Burks

–Rebel Mate By: K.O. Newman & Miri Stone

–Prometheus Bound By: Mariah Thayer

–Chastity Unchained By: Ashley Amy
This turned out to be quite an intriguing sci-fi story- with so much potential for a bigger impact- so I really hope this is just a taste of a longer story/series that will be releasing in the future, because I was completely invested in the story and the characters, but felt it ended a little abruptly. Harker is an exotic dancer who arrives at a club to catch up with her best friends after enduring a day from hell as first she catches her boyfriend cheating, and then one of her clients drops dead. But her night is about to take a turn for the worse when she and her friends are abducted by aliens who need some humans to breed with. What happens makes for a sexy read. Looking forward to more, hopefully.

–Her Virgin Alien- A Steamy Sci-Fi Time Travel Alien Romance By: Mariyam Hasnain

–My Boss is An Alien By: Ashlyn Hawkes

–Lovin the Alien Exile By: K.N Fray

–Representing the Alien Bride Lottery By: Margo Bond Collins
What happens when a group of terrorists attack the Annual Holiday Ball at the Khanavain Earth Embassy and hold everyone hostage? Join Aarek and Vivian as they try to save the day. This was such a great story- full of action, danger, drama, tension, chemistry, and spice. I will definitely be exploring more of the Alien Bride Lottery series- I can feel a book-binge coming on.

-Just a Space Fling By: Nyx Black & Lor Nicole

–Cookie For the Space Man By: Star Wing

–The Trouble With Aliens By: Tricia Schneider

–Red Stars Crossed (Dragonfire Soul Mates Book #1) By: London Kemaker

–Taming the Alien Beast By: Aerin Ida Celestia

–Bought By the Alien By: Delilah Rose

–Zenith’s Anchor By: Dove Priest & Raven Hush

–My Brother’s Alien Match By: Sienna Sway

–Hunting Darkness By: Sheri-Lynn Marean

–Totally Launched By: Zoey Indiana

–My Destined Aliens By: Aurora Welkin

–Sasha’s Bounties (Earth’s Bounty Series) By: Deysi O’Donal

–Alien Prince By: Daniel Jacks
I always enjoy Ms. Jack’s stories, and this one was no exception. Naomi and Zenith drew me into their story and held me captive right through to the end. Woven with drama, danger, chemistry, and the fate of the world at stake, these two took me on quite the adventure. Looking forward to more from Ms. Jacks.

I jumped into this book not really knowing what to expect except that they were all sci-fi/alien romances. But I soon discovered that all the stories are really quite wonderful and engrossing, with fantastic plots, varied characters who are complex and fully developed- and each story was really well crafted. Not only did I get to read work from some favourite authors- I also got to explore the work of many new to me authors and found a slew of new books to add to my TBR, so colour me one happy little bookworm.
There are some intriguing storylines, interesting characters, very suspenseful moment and surprising developments; some funny, light-hearted and touching moments; as well as some hot, steamy, and spicy times. Not to mention more than a few ‘interesting’ appendages to add extra ‘zing’ to the collection. I highly recommend this anthology. You won’t regret buying this collection, it is worth every cent of the purchase price- 36 books for the price of one! Now that’s a real bargain!
Happy Reading…

Thank you to all the contributing authors!
