The Alien Assassin’s Convenient Wife by Ruby Dixon

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

One half of an intergalactic assassin team, Jadzion heads to New Mexico for his target while his brother Heriot heads to California. They’ve traveled millions of miles and through star systems to find their targets, who are gun-runners on a galactic scale. Now, though, Jadzion has a problem. He’s waited until the last minute to go planetside, and his target’s at a couples retreat.

Jadzion is solo.

The solution is obvious-Jadzion needs a wife. Just for the weekend, of course.

Using a thing called a “dating app” he finds a woman named Jenna. He tells her he needs to marry her, right away. Jenna, naturally, is confused. But the longer she’s around Jadzion, the more she thinks he’s not from around here . . . and that he just might be the one for her.

The heroine: Jenna – she can’t find a man. She had been signed up for an online dating site, but every man she meets turns out to be a freak or only out for a hook-up. So, she changed her profile to say that she wants to get married, hoping that would filter out the crazies. She then just stopped checking for any replies, since she just liked to Netflix and chill alone.

The Hero: Jadzion – he is an alien assassin. He works with his brother Harriet. They are on Earth (a primitive planet) and has a contract to kill a man who is purchases and trades ELW’s (extinction level weapons). His brother is on the trail for one such device that was already sold. Jadzion needs to find his target in Albuquerque New Mexico. Though the man he is after is hidden as a human and is at some place where he is leading a retreat for married people. So, to get in and see the guy, Jadzion needs a wife to sign up for the relationship retreat.

The Story: Jenna’s roommate decided Jenna needed to get out and jump back on the horse, so she had been watching Jenna’s profile for replies and made a date for Jenna with some guy. It turns out the guy is Jadzion and she immediately knew something was not right when he passes out after the date. Jenna finds out that Jadzion is an alien and that he passed out because he is in a rutting fever from being so close to a female and the antidote made him sick. After he wakes up, he tells her the truth, and she agrees to help him find the man he is after.

The story is interesting for such a short story (the audiobook is only 3 hours and 11 minutes long). It was way different than any other of Ruby Dixon’s alien romance books I have read before. This is actually the first one that takes place on Earth. Also, the alien isn’t a barbarian, but is an assassin with some pretty cool tech.

This audiobook was done in dual points of view via dual narration. It was narrated by Tim Paige and Tieran Wilder. Tim Paige has a nice voice though it is a bit softer than I like for a male narrator. Tieran Wilder has a pleasant-sounding voice and is good at showing emotion through her voice.
