Entered in the Alien Bride Lottery by Margo Bond CollinsMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Easy Reading
This is a book that really poses no challenge to the reader. It’s very straight forward and doesn’t offer any surprises. Sometimes that is what you want from a book.
60 years ago Earth was targeted by an aggressive alien race, and we were offered protection by the enemies of their attackers in exchange for offering Earth women as brides for the aliens who had lost women from their own populations. To ascertain whether mates are compatible there is a lottery and the women are transported to a site off-world where they take part in the ‘Bride Games’, which over the years have become prime time entertainment.
Natalie has just turned 21 and is celebrating that fact with drinks when her name is called out on the lottery and is instantly transported to the site of the games. Natalie has one more year of her degree in biochemistry and is angry that the day after she becomes eligible she is drawn.
Cav is a well-respected warrior who wants to join Special Operations and his commanding officer arranges for him to go to the Bride Games because it looks good to be a mated male in Special Operations.
Obviously, these two are meant to be together and all the drama that ensues. We know who the bad guys are, we know who the good guys are and that there is a HEA. There really aren’t many plot twists but it’s still entertaining.
If you want something to divert you without too much angst, this is a good story for you.
