**3 Stars**
Tarrik loves his mother, and as such would do anything for her, even signing up with Celestial Mates, a dating agency. And, as if that isn't enough, he's such a good son, once he's matched, he'll return home and settle in with his mate. *cue happiest Mother ever* Well, he might have a trick up his sleeve though. This can't happen until his match is found, so he tells some fibs on the application, intentionally making himself sound awful, and that way he can continue traveling the galaxy. It's a win-win, right? His mom believes he's trying, and technically he is...though his version is trying to sabotage his chances.
Juliette is running. Uh no, not for fun. Who would do that? LOL For her life. See, she's very good at, well, she's a hacker. And those skills have upset some people, as has her attitude, and now there's a hit out on her. Yes, those are real, she knows from actual experience. She's come up with the best solution to save her life though. They can't kill her if she leaves the planet. The easiest way to do that is join a dating agency. Once she's matched, and her mate realizes he really can live without her because she's going to ensure she's a lot to deal with, she should be safe returning to earth. It's a win-win, right?
Both Tarrik and Jules believe they're scamming the system, making it work for them, until they meet. The chemistry is instant and intense when they first meet. However, that doesn't make it any easier to be in the same room. They'd rather be anywhere else. They shouldn't work. But the Celestial Mates disagrees and knows they couldn't be more right for each other.
What happens when Tarrik is paired with a human? Will Jules prove she isn't the gold digger he assumes she is? How will Tarrik feel as she shows her usefulness and wins over his crew? Can Jules cope with all the changes, and Tarrik's obvious dislike of her humanity, in order to save her life? Will this alien and human find a common ground? Or will their feelings for one another not be enough? Is Jules truly safe? Will Tarrik protect her if not? Is a HEA possible?
One-click now and follow along as two people with their own agendas still discover the love meant to be theirs, even if they don't want to accept it. I like the uniqueness of this plot. No, it's not the first alien/human pairing, but it does have a new twist to it. I enjoyed reading as Tarrik began to see Jules for the woman she was, not as a human, so to speak. Watching them fall for each other was believable and keeps you intrigued so you can't wait to see what happens next.
