Have Tail, Will Travel by Nancey Cummings

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wife Wanted: Single Alien Dad Needs a Mate 

Tragedy left Merit as the guardian to two young kits and he’s in over his head. He needs help. He has no time for romance and doesn’t think he needs it. He applies to Celestial Mates, willing to take the first available female, even a flat-faced, ugly human. 

What he gets is a woman whose mind challenges him and patience humbles him. 

He brought her to his planet under false pretenses. Now he hopes he can make it right before she leaves for good.

The heroine: Kalini – she works in finance and is tired of dating the wrong men. After a particularly bad date with a man she met online, she decides that she will try being a mail order bride with an alien male. When she is a perfect match with a man on the mining planet Corra which is over three months away, she agrees and sets about closing out her life on Earth.

The Hero: Merit – when his brother Prospect died in a mine collapse, and his brother’s wife died less than a month later, he was put in charge of their small children, Dare and Charity. His sister Amity came to the mining planet to help out but thinks that she should have been named the guardian so gives him the business about not being able to take care of the kits. So, he decided to try for a mail order bride. He is a security guard at the mines on the planet Corra.

The Story: The two main characters were attracted to each other from the start. Though they knew next to nothing about each other. It takes them quite a while to really get to know each other. They have issues from the start, with Merit working so much and Amity trying to get Kal to leave so she can have a reason to take custody of the kids.

The story is ok, nothing spectacular, but interesting and I liked part about Merit’s bloodlust. He sometimes goes into this bloodlust while hunting, similar to when he was in the military, and he turns into a killing machine where he doesn’t notice who or what he is killing. It comes in handy against the invasive creatures on the planet. He also feels the bloodlust when he wants his wife sometimes.

This book was told in dual points of view via dual narration. It was narrated by Stephen Dexter and Hollie Jackson. These are two very good narrators. Hollie has a great voice and is terrific at showing emotion through her voice. Stephen Dexter has a deep but soft voice and is one of my favorite male narrators. Both do a fantastic job with alien romance.
