Off the Bookshelf: MY ALIEN BOYFRIEND, by Janeen Ippolito

All right, so this is a short story, not a book, but it's still good.
Silly.
Snarky.

Basically calling out a lot of tropes from romance and SF where the hero has a HUGE secret and the heroine gets yanked into a world she didn't anticipate. Even though she was warned.

And a big lesson on communication. The need for it. And not letting romance sweep you completely off your commonsense feet!

Kelly has fallen hard for Anthony, an independently wealthy guy who is entirely adorable. And completely clueless. And hot. Literally. She thinks he's joking, or maybe a little crazy, when he makes the oddest -- and longest -- marriage proposal on record. So she isn't serious when she says basically, "Sure, why not?"

And ends up having her life entirely turned around and upside down. Talk about culture shock!

Of course you know I need to get the next book, of what happens after she says yes for real, seriously, knowing what she's getting into.
