Review: A Baby for the Alien Prince

A Baby for the Alien Prince by Miranda Martin
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Synopsis:

Take a Human female as a mate on the off chance of saving his race? Absurd. 

At least that's what Prince Elorshin Do'ana thinks. It's true, the Alvan race is dying. There have been no new births in years and if they don't do something, their entire race is doomed. However, Elorshin doesn't want to bind himself to a mate that can't fully share in the fated bond that all Alvan crave. Forced into a marriage by a House more powerful than his own, Prince Elorshin doesn't think he will ever know happiness, that is until he meets his bright, luscious bride. 

Margot Whelan wants two things, one of which she will never have. Love and a baby. The second can't happen, not as long as she's on Earth. Population control is too strict. When she sees an advertisement for the Celestial Mates Dating Agency she decides to take the chance. After all, what future does she have on an overpopulated Earth? She agrees to marry the hot, seven foot tall, indigo alien with sparkling emerald eyes and oddly sexy fangs. 

He struggles with the war between what his body craves and what his heart needs. Somehow, Margot must get past the language barrier and forge the connection Elorshin so desperately desires. A love that Houses will go to war for. 

A Baby for the Alien Prince is a stand alone novel in the Celestial Mates Shared Universe. It is a science fiction romance story with a stubborn alien and an equally stubborn human female, plenty of action-packed adventure, and hot, steamy alien romance!

My thoughts:

Cover: There is an awful lot of blue in the cover. However, it is accurate. He is an alien with blue skin and she is a white woman from Earth. It is fitting for the story and eye-catching as well.

Title: The title for this book almost doesn't fit. There is only one little section that has to do with a baby. I think a better title would have been 'A Mate for the Alien Prince' or something along that line.

Characters: At first, I thought Prince Elorshin was a bit of a jerk but he got past that. Margot was sweet but didn't seem willing to fight for what she wanted at first. I did like that she treated everyone equally.

Plot: It was an interesting book. I got a few laughs out of her learning the language. I liked that the author put a little effort into the world building so it wasn't all left to the reader's imagination. I really would have enjoyed some more world building, though. Especially since this is supposed to be a totally different planet than ours.

Overall: It is a nice pleasant love story.
