Kissed on Alien Christmas (Adrift in Space #1)

Kissed on Alien Christmas is a very short, slice of life novella, with a holiday like Christmas theme.

Rena:
Earth is gone. Destroyed by the Ru’tah five years ago, and there’s no going back. All I want to do is settle down and find a place to call home, but I can’t. Nothing can ever replace the home I lost, or the people I love. A moment never goes by that I don’t think about them, but that changes one day when a mysterious alien walks into a bar on Delarou Valdani. That was six months ago, and I’ve gone back many times since to find the male who I can’t stop thinking about. I’m captivated as he invades my thoughts and dreams. And just when I thought I’d never see him again, he shows up. Between the erupting volcano, the celebration of Valdani’s awakening and all the beautiful greenery I’m surrounded by, I’m reminded of home, of Christmas. Maybe I’m not completely lost, afterall.

Aarvik:
After the destruction of my home, my people were scattered across the galaxy, but here I stand, on Delarou Valdani. It’s just like my dreams. I know I’m supposed to be here, that something is supposed to happen. I know this to be true because I’ve heard the words my ancestral guide spoke to me through my visions. It may be an impossible task to make things right, but then I’m given a sign and I trust that everything will be alright. I enter Shakaat’s for the final time, with a renewed sense of hope, but when nothing happens, I fear I have failed my people yet again, but then she shows up. I’m not sure what a beautiful human has to do with the future of my people, but I’m willing to find out.

Warning: this book is a slice of life story between a human woman and an alien. It is for readers 18+ years in age. There is an explicit love scene, lots of swearing, and while this book has a Christmas theme and title, some have expressed it to have some dark & gritty tones. If you are looking solely for a safe and clean purely Christmas romance, without the grunge and desperation of characters who’ve lost everything, then this book might not be for you. Consider this your warning before diving in.
