This is a marvelous, highly entertaining Sci-fi alien romance and it was a pleasure to read. It is about: an alien male (Aton) who is determined to get his fated mate & claim her (Antoinette aka Toni), and neither false accusations or thrown off a space ship is going to stop him but there are trials & retributions on the horizon for these two. There is: twists & turns, intrigue, suspense, humor, revenge, a conniving ex (Phillip), false accusations, misunderstandings, confusion, jealousy, disagreements, truth, overreacting, a warrant, arrested, fear, anger, assaulted, deceit, citizenship, hacking, discovery, trafficking, slavery, happiness & some steam. The plot is vivid and delightful, it is full of intriguing incidents, and it certainly kept my attention. The characters are well developed with attributes of determination & loyalty when faced with certain situations. I really enjoyed reading this Sci-Fi alien romance and would recommend it.

Once again, Ms. Cara Bristol has spun an amazing sci-fi romance with humor. The new series is a spin-off from her Alien Mate series where human women were sent to Dakon to be paired up with Dakonian men. In this new series, the Intergalactic Dating Agency has evolved, allowing alien men and human women to use a computer match-making program to help match them up and the aliens will come to Earth. Attorney Toni Sutterman called off her wedding at the altar in book one, Darak, and she now wants what her younger sister, Lexi, has, her own alien. She will apply with the Intergalactic Dating Agency and take the test for a match—and what a shock when Jessie calls her with news, she has been matched at 100 percent with a Dakonian named Aton. I guess what worked out great for one Sutterman daughter, may work out for the other one. Aton has been matched with his Fated mate and ready to leave Dakon when he is pulled off the shuttle and told he wouldn’t be going, that his visa is denied. Once denied, especially with any questionable details, it will destroy his chance of ever leaving. He is determined, his mate is on Earth, and she is expecting him, and he isn’t going to let anything stand in his way of getting to her. The plot will have Toni excited knowing she has been matched and learning that her alien mate is coming from Dakon, just like her sister’s mate, Darak. But then she will receive word at the last minute that there is a problem, Aton won’t be coming as scheduled, but that the agency will match her with another mate. Darak overhears the conversation between Lexi and Toni and assures her that nothing will stop Aton from coming. Toni is excited when Aton finds her and then confused by a phone call from Jessie about her mate going through mandatory classes before their meeting. There is an instant chemistry between Aton and Toni, and they have fun getting to know each other, and the more time together, the more certain they are for their future. The story has some twists and turns, with moments of joy and those of sadness. Throw in the good, the bad, and the ugly in humanity and maybe even some comeuppance for someone evil. There will be some surprises, with a bit of creative manipulating by others. The story is the second of three in the Intergalactic Dating Agency series and will segue into the third story of Caid, a sinfully handsome, smooth-talking alien who will set his sights on the woman he wants for his mate. There are some sex scenes in the story, but they are not overly explicit. Just when things seem perfect between Toni and Aton, trouble enters the picture and Aton is taken away when it is discovered he does not have a visa. Someone evil is involved in destroying them and is keeping them apart. Will Aton find himself deported to an off-Earth prison and not even on Dakon? Will Aton listen to the final words from Toni to not talk? The prison shuttle leaves and Toni is broken-hearted that she never got to say goodbye. She finally found true love, and he was taken away from her. Will her friends be able to comfort her and is there anyone who can make a difference?
