Mitzi Selig has let a quiet life. She's a professional matchmaker who is very good at finding the perfect match for others but not so lucky in her dealings with the forever side of love. A chance of a lifetime comes her way when she finds that PLANET TALZOR NEEDS BRIDES, but this earthbound woman wants no part in dealing with the aliens who have come to her for help.
Jax, captain of a Talzor starship, has been sent to acquire the help of a spiritual matchmaker, a shalhinari, to find mates for some of his warriors. He manages to find the best, a human woman on Earth. He has no plans to become a part of the process, but there is something about Mitzi that draws him. He will not allow emotion to be a part of his life, especially with a price on his head that could cause the death of his mate.
PLANET TALZOR NEEDS BRIDES is a quirky, fun and fascinating look into the science fiction world of aliens with an amazing twist to matchmakers. In this book an earth woman setting up other earth women to become the perfect matches to alien warriors. I enjoyed getting to know this world as Mitzi began the task of trying to learn everything she could to be able to come up with perfect matches. Too bad her own perfect match, Jax, wasn't planning to have anything to do with the plans. Watching him struggle, hearing his story and coming to understand his reason and worries, helped to make the readers know him better, sympathize and wonder how in the world there could be a happily ever after for this couple. While he tried to deal with everything happening, his past comes out to haunt him putting Mitzi in danger some times, forcing him to face the fact that he has to deal with things or lose her.
I enjoyed the dialogue in this book and most especially Tal, the AI (artificial intelligence), who helps Mitzi set up for the matchmaking work. While he helps her learn and deal with the Talzor customs and languages, he is also picking up some slang, yada, yada becomes his favorite. There are also some really fun moments when Jax meets her grandmother, goes surfing and beats up a great white shark.
If you want a very good aliens sci-fi story with a mixture of danger, intrigue, humor and a romance that has a good dose of "mutual pleasuring" then get your hands on PLANET TALZOR NEEDS BRIDES.
Mitzi leads a quiet life as a professional matchmaker. Her
cozy life is turned upside down when she is chosen as the
matchmaker for an alien species searching for wives.
Naturally, she refuses. Unfortunately, sheβs having a hard
time saying no to the dashingly handsome but domineering
alien warrior. Although, he makes her heart flutter, itβs a
good thing heβs not her type.
Jax, captain of the Talzor starship, is ordered to hire a
shalhinari, a spiritual matchmaker, to find soul mates for
six of his men. He locates the best shalhinari on Earth;
yet, Mitzi Selig the earthbound woman tries his patience.
To
his distress, he is drawn to her beauty, questioning his
judgment. Worse, his long suppressed empathy gene awakens,
a
trait not seemly for a warrior.
The magnetic pull between Captain Jax and Mitzi is
astronomical. Yet, can a tormented warrior and a woman who
refuses to leave Earth find love? A long light-year
distance
relationship is one thing, but looming danger could curtail
any chance for their star-crossed passion.
