Escorting the Alien by Ava Ross

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’m trapped on a volcanic planet with a surly alien who thinks I’m his for the taking. What could go wrong with that?

After losing my job as a space pilot, I’m short on cash. That’s when I’m hired to fly a visiting diplomat back to his home planet. His name’s Vexion, but I call him Vex, because he’s a grumpy brute, and every time he opens his mouth, he says something that makes flames lick across my bones. Unfortunately, whenever I’m near him, my knees melt.

When our escape pod crashes us in the path of an erupting volcano, we have to find a way to survive together. Our snippy bickering soon sparks heat of a different kind, and it’s all I can do to resist him. I’m supposed to escort him, but it looks like I’m about to be escorted in an entirely different direction.

Escorting the Alien is a companion novella in the Beastly Alien Boss Series and offers hyjinks with a surly alien and a happily ever after.

Escorting the Alien

Alien diplomat and fierce human!

This novella was included in the audiobook with Nailing the Alien. I love it when you get a bonus like that, especially with audiobooks, since they are so expensive. This was a nice escapist alien romance with the two main characters, Lina and Vex ending up in an escape pod and landing on a dangerous planet where a volcano is erupting. Not only that, there were huge beasts and other dangers all around them.

Like with Nailing the Alien, this was narrated by Hollie Jackson and Patrick Zeller via dual narration. Hollie always does a great job and is very good at narrating alien romance. Patrick Zellar also did a terrific job, and though Vex wasn’t grumpy like the Orc in the first book, his deep voice lends itself well to the huge male alien character.

The story was good and I really liked the fact that they were on the run and waiting for their pods emergency beacon to hail a ship that would rescue them. While ash and lava endangered their lives. In between all that, it still got plenty steamy as well.
