Today I'd like to share with you a few things about the third installment in Magan Vernon's YA Sc-Fi series, including a swoon-worthy excerpt. :)
Title: How to Marry an Alien
Series: My Alien Romance, #3
Author: Magan Vernon
Release date: November 18th 2012
Publisher: Calta Press
Alex’s interstellar relationship has finally been sealed in the eyes of the human world, so now she can move on to her next step: college.
With Ace by her side and a new piece of jewelry on her finger, she thinks she is ready for anything. Well, almost anything.
Her new roommate holds a dangerous link to her past that Alex isn't sure if she can handle. Then there is the whole alien fiancé thing. Every time she tries to get closer to Ace, he seems to pull further away. Top that off with a full summer class load and a few more alien attacks and it’s just another day for Alex.
Except this time she isn’t sure if marrying an alien will be the happy ending she’s hoping for.
**While the first two alien books were mildly tame, this book is a little different. I'm not saying it's Fifty Shades or anything, but Alex is eighteen, she's going off to college and she's been with her alien boyfriend for a year; there is guranteed to be some heat. I'm recommending this for upper YA/New Adult readers.**
EXCERPT
Obviously the Circe doctors did a fine job
healing him. He didn't look like he ever had a scratch on him with his smooth,
porcelain skin and his hair in his usual spikes. I wanted to pull him close to
me and just inhale his clean scent. But the giant camera facing us from the
corner of the elevator made me think otherwise.
"Can I not just be excited to finally
be able to see my princess?" His warm hands found mine, intertwining our
fingers as he pulled them up to brush his lips against my knuckles.
"You are a smooth talker, sir."
"Likewise." He put our
intertwined hands down and a smile crept along his statuesque face. Every time
he smiled, it made his dark eyes light up and brought me back to the first
moment I met him the moment he saved my life. If I wasn't already excited to
see him, the smile was all I needed to get him off the elevator and lead him to
my bedroom.
"It's smaller than the rooms at Circe,
and you are to share it with someone else, but it's..." Ace paused,
walking from one end of the room to the other in only a few long strides.
"Nice."
"Well I'm sure you will be able to
make yourself at home." I slid past him and sat down on the bed, patting
the spot next to me.
Ace sat down and then laid down, spreading
his long body across my bed. "Yeah, I can deal with this."
Seeing him stretched across the bed, his
hands behind his head and every muscle rippling through his arm, made me want
him so bad. My V card was still very much intact, but after all of my run-ins
with death and after seeing Ace so close to it, the fear of losing him forever
made me want to give up that card in a bad way.
I laid down next to him, placing my head on
his chest and trailing my fingers up and down his chiseled stomach.
"Princess, if you keep touching me
like that I'm not going to be able to stay still for long."
I lifted my head, meeting his dark eyes
with my own. There was nothing more that I wanted to do than to get lost in
them. His hand crept up to the side of my face before he pulled me down until
his mouth was on mine. The sliding of his tongue between my lips was the go
ahead I needed to move from my spot next to him and climb onto his beautiful
body. His hands were on fire, sending the spark all the way through my back
while his fingertips scaled my bare arms. My body pressed against his cold
shell made me want to cry out with a mixture of fire and ice against my skin.
While his hands were against my shoulders,
my fingers made their way to the buttons on his shirt. He'd become accustomed
to wearing plaid, pearl snap shirts over his temperature control suit when we
were in public. Normally I thought the shirts looked silly, but with the easy
access they provided me, I suddenly liked them more.
