Wed to the Alien Assassin by January Bell

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

My husband is the deadliest alien warlord of all, and I hate that about him… until he’s exactly what I need.

I’ve dedicated my life to doing as much good as possible. I won’t let my marriage to the big and buff alien assassin, Feruz, wreck my plans. I don’t care if I accidentally swore to be his mate at what I thought was a welcoming ceremony. My morals are the polar opposite of his, and I want nothing to do with him… even if my new life on his planet is a bit lonely.

When Feruz offers me a way out of our marriage, I take it in a heartbeat. If I go on one date with him to a relaxing resort and still want out of our marriage, he’ll leave me alone.

Except, our date quickly goes bad: my husband is the target of ruthless mercenaries who also want to kidnap me. I am determined to abide by my non-violent oaths… an oath Feruz agrees to honor as well, even if it goes against all his training and instincts.

I never imagined Feruz would be the sort of male I’d want by my side, but when push comes to shove, he might be a better partner than I could ever imagine.

The heroine: Tati – she is a doctor from Earth who joined the Federation after the Roth attacked Earth. She doesn’t like killing and believes in saving lives instead of taking them. The federation sends her and a bunch of other women on what they called a diplomatic mission to Suevan territory to befriend the Suevan people. She is not happy to find that the “Welcome Ceremony” was actually a wedding, and her government basically sold her and the other women in exchange for Suevan tech that will help protect Earth. She finds herself married to not only a strong Suevan warrior, but an assassin who stands for everything she hates.

The Hero: Feruz – he is not only the assassin for the Suevan people, but the most lethal Suevan assassin who has ever lived. He chose Tati to be his wife and wants her to accept him. When she looks at him with loathing and repulsion, it truly hurts him. He offers her a deal; to come with him in his spaceship and spend a day with him, he will let her go when it is over if that is what she wants. He plans to take her to a resort planet to get a massage and spa treatments because one of the other women said she likes that.

The Story: Tati is not only a doctor, but since coming to Suevan territory, she has been a researcher. She came up with a contraceptive patch for her fellow females that works against alien sperm, she also has created a pain killer and some other medicines that work well out of the Suevan flora. She doesn’t think there is any way she will ever accept being married to an Assassin so she agrees to go with Feruz, hoping to be let go when their time is over.

This was another enjoyable book in this series, with the same format as the rest. The two main characters go off alone together and go through some dangerous and suspenseful situations that end up bringing them together and ultimately getting to know each other and understand each other, before they fall for each other and give in to their attraction and eventually fall in love. This is a formula that works well for me, as I love a journey story and there is also some steam, but not too much to overtake the story.

This audiobook was told in multiple points of view and was narrated in dual narration by Mason Lloyd and Hollie Jackson. I really like both narrators for alien romance. Hollie Jackson has a very expressive voice and her voice for male characters is not bad at all. Mason Lloyd has a deep voice which works well for massive alien warriors. The narration on this book is terrific.
