They agree to join the Choosing together, but love is about to get seriously strange. Who would have ever thought that working at the Sunshine Angel daycare center would offer such interstellar prestige? She doesn’t know what the hell’s going on, but a new life awaits on Barath Colony, where she can have any alien bachelor she wants. She should have added a rider about the husband being human. Louis.īeryl Bowman’s mother always said she’d never get married. This ‘human being’ is not the Tiralan match he was looking for. Desperation drives him to try a matching service but due to a freak solar flare and a severely malfunctioning ship AI, things go way off course. If he fails to find a nest guardian this time, he’ll lose his chance to have a mate for all time. Zylar of Kith B’alak is a four-time loser in the annual Choosing.

Also, a truckload of explicit consent.īeryl Bowman was having a “life of quiet desperation” (student debt, no meaningful relationships, low wage job, a somewhat serious drinking problem) when Zylar showed up, and things just got a lot more interesting from there–because he has his own problems waiting at home. Reader beware: there’s some cursing, an underhanded asshole gets his comeuppance in a very final way, and there’s on page sex. This novel, the first in what is now the Galactic Love trilogy, is an absolute and utter delight. It’s been a minute since I last reviewed any of Ann Aguirre’s books 1, but I remain very much a fan of her work, both writing voice and worldbuilding.
