<b>Thanks to the author and netgalley for the advanced copy of this book. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.</b>

This laugh out loud, outer space romance (or so I thought) wasn’t as entertaining as I would have liked. It centres around Princess Perripraxis and her sister, their need to escape forced marriages to only end up on earth .. falling for an earthling and defeating their pint sized father.

It was an okay read for me, nothing special unfortunately.

There are two things I wish I'd known about this book before I chose it. The first: it's a romance wrapped up in a silly sci-fi packaging. (I like sci-fi and silly; I just don't generally read romance.) It is a "light" romance.

Second, I wish I known that this is the second in a series. I don't think that not having read the first book completely hindered my enjoyment of this book, but it seemed there were a few instances where I got a little lost when characters would refer to things that must have happened in the first book. There were some, shall we say *logistics*, that I didn't quite get.

Otherwise, it was a quick, fun read. The characters were well-drawn, the plot pretty fast-paced, and the situations amusing and cute. The author clearly had a good time thinking up silly things an alien wouldn't understand about being a human.

I didn't like that sometimes the point of view bounced around, even within sections.

Overall, fun read.

I really had fun with this book, Perri and Brandt brought the fun and love. Cute and sweet with some heat.

Funny and hysterical and heart-warming! This book is more than a triple threat - it is also a great read! Had to go back and read the first in the series. No spoilers - consider it a space-age, intergalactic romantic screwball comedy.

His Fake Alien Fiancee is the kind of book that makes you want to do a sort of flail, maybe wave your hands, slap your thigh, giggle out loud and tell your friends about. It is just downright funny for one thing. I mean seriously, laugh out loud. Just like its predecessor, this was a wonderful romp through what could happen if worlds collided.

Peri was just as delightful a character as her sister was before her, yet her personality and voice shown through splendidly as she navigated her way through life on Earth, and the romance that came with it. Brandt may not have been the stereotypical perfect man, but he was perfect for her. I mean, he loved her, scales and all haha, even if it took a while for him to realize it. A hilarious while.

"If you don't shut up and start having sex with me, I am going to die. Right here. On this table. And then how are you going to explain that tomorrow?" "I have no idea." "Then quit talking and sexual intercourse me already!" "Yes, ma'am."

Can't nobody say that Peri isn't a girl who knows what she wants, and absolutely nobody would dare to say that she doesn't reach out and take it. She's stood aside, she's put her needs behind others for too long, and it is high time that she gets the attention and the life she deserves.

Oh but this is just a marvelous world Patricia Eimer has created, and the town has made a place in my heart with its zany characters, aliens and all. I can't wait to see what this series holds for me next! ~ George, 5 Stars

Funny with a Heart

This spacey tale told from Earth will make you laugh out loud, cringe at the misunderstandings (of all kinds), and just plain fall in love with this rollercoaster of a relationship. I swear it's like reading an episode of I Dream of Jeannie wrapped in some Men in Black and a little Young and the Restless on the side. But it all ends in a Happily Ever After you'll be sad to see. I hope the girls' brother gets his own Earth girl because this series is just too much fun to end.
Brandt Turner finds himself included in a precarious situation thanks to Princess Perri and her family but that's okay because he wants Perri to know someone finally has her back--no one is going to push her around anymore. Though it's Perri who shows them all it's okay to need your friends and gain a little backbone. This is a new to me author and I can't wait to read more from her.

My thanks to Entangled Pub. and Netgally for allowing me to read this fabulous story.

Super Cute!

And can you say FUNNY! Let's just say Princess Perri's misinformation about how things are on Earth makes for some freaking hilarious moments(believable and real once you buy into the fact she's an alien- it's fiction after all)

Although I felt the beginning and the continuity was a pinch rough at the start, it did not lessen my enjoyment of the book in any way. The sassy cover fits (almost) perfectly and I caution you to set time aside to read this once you start. I didn't want to put it down.

This was easy to read, yet filled with great details and descriptions. The characters are well developed both human and alien. And I loved the fact that humans(some) know about the cloaked aliens living among them.

I'm a total fan girl!

This book had me rolling on the floor. Literally, I was on my bed but I was still rolling with laughter with this one. Ms. Eimer has written a flat out hilarious sci-fi romantic comedy that you will laugh, swoon, sigh, cry and then cheer in the end. As one knows, I don’t read sci-fi that much but lately, the books that are in the genre are hitting all of my buttons. Let me tell you what I loved about this one:

Perri – she is a delight. Raised as an alien princess with a horrible father, terrific siblings and a wonderful mother. In fact, she and Corri were tutored in Earth ways but once they came to Earth, everything they learned was wrong. Oh yes, reading about this, my hand flew up to my face in horror and then laughter. She realizes that she is the “spare” and just takes whatever anyone tells or does to her as her lot in life. Once she is on Earth, she decides that enough is enough. Finally standing on her own two feet, she fights for what she wants and that’s her life on Earth.
Brandt – I love him. He makes no bones about who he is and what he wants out of a relationship with a woman. Too bad, Charity he’s ex never got the memo. I did, however, fell kinda bad for her…until… Grrrr! In the end, he is a standup guy and only wants the best for Perri. He just never realized that Perri is the kind of woman that he can commit to. Scales and all. In fact, that’s they one thing that he truly loves about her. She’s an alien but she’s the most “real” woman that he has ever known. *swoon*
Atomic Springs (the town) – You gotta love a town that knows about Area 51, the relocation of aliens and that the local diner is run by a Martian. I loved Flo and would like to get to know her better. I also liked that the story refers to Roswell, too. You need to sorta kinda suspend some of her belief in the story but it’s worth it.
The pacing is fast and I loved the countdown headers for each chapter. I also liked Ms. Eimer’s writing. It’s light, humorous, snarky but most of all real. Even though there are aliens in the book, they are very real. They have real emotions, problems, familial dysfunction and just want to be left alone to live their life.
So in the teasers above, they are talking about sex. There is sex in the book and referenced very humorously. Perri doesn’t understand much except what she was taught by the “documentaries” that the tutor saw fit, so it is funny. When it comes time for Perri to lose her “earth virginity”, it’s sweet, emotional and definitely swoon worthy. The aftermath is cute but…Brandt is an idiot.
Do yourself a favor and pick up this book to read. It’s funny, sexy, real and above all…just plain fun. It’s on my keeper shelf and I highly recommend it to even the read that hates reading sci-fi. You are definitely missing out on this one.

When I started His Fake Alien Fiancée, I wasn't sure what I got myself into, other than the title and the cover caught my attention. When I started reading the story, I felt I was missing something, which I was. So, I would recommend reading Out of This World first, because there are somethings I would have benefit knowing. Anyway, we are going to press forward.

So, I read His Fake Alien Fiancée and I wasn't sure if I was going to keep going. I was considering quitting the book about 21%, but I continued on. You know what the story grew on me. Not something I would normally read, but it was interesting. We have Brandt who is emotionally stunted. He chooses to lack the ability of committing, because of what his father did when his wife was dying of cancer. So, he used women and women let him. However, when he was around Perri he restrain himself. So nice of him. Anyway, Perri is alien princess and there is more on how she ended up on this planet. She's still learning the ways of being an earthling.

In some ways I'm glad, I didn't give up on the story. I wasn't sure how I felt about Perri. At the beginning she's not sure about herself, but I did like her character growth. However, it's a little slow, but towards the end I did like her. She's sweet and kind, and a bit wholesome. Brandt I liked in the beginning, but as the book progress I sorta didn't like him. Eventually, he gets his head screwed on right.

Overall, not a bad read. Definitely different. In some aspects it reminded me of Men in Black, so that was kind of cool. Would I read more from this series, the jury is still out. However, I was interested in reading the book, because the cover who knows.

This is a laugh out loud romance full of clichés as Princess Perripraxis endeavours to thwart her father's dastardly plans to marry her off as part of deals with other planetary rulers. She escaped such plans once, that's how she and her sister ended up on earth, but now her Father is coming to get her and only if she's already committed to marry someone else will she be able to stay. That's when she has the brainwave of pretending to be engaged to Brandt Turner, a bartender, her friend and someone who already knows that she's an Alien. However, he's never seen her au natural, scales and all, as she wears a special cloaking device which makes her appear human . . . . With her power mad Father, alien soldiers, will Brandt help her escape?

If you can think of anything such a story might have, it is probably in this one - even Queen Elizabeth of England plays a role in the story. You definitely need to suspend your disbelief and then you can jump on board this spacecraft novel for a hilarious, science fiction, romantic adventure!

Princess Perripraxis not only has to find a fiancé—and fast—she’s got to find one who doesn’t mind that her “no makeup” face has green and purple scales. Otherwise, Daddy Dearest has plans that don’t include Perri’s compliance. Candidate Number One: Her sexy human best friend, Brandt.

Bartender Brandt Turner didn’t need all those years in the army to teach him never to leave a man behind. Or an alien princess in need of a pretend fiancé. If she needs someone to play the lovesick fool to convince her dad to let her stay on Earth, well then, he’ll let the world think Cupid finally took him out.

But Perri’s father has no intention of playing nice—and he’s not above cruel and unusual alien torture to make things go his way. But Brandt is willing to complete the mission…however far he has to go.





Review:




I just loved the title so I had to pick this one up.




It was what I did and did not expect. I expected it to be fun, light-hearted and it definitely was those things, but on the unexpected side it was a little sexy and had more a emotional punch than I thought it would. I liked that these aliens are aliens. They may wear human disguises but they are true aliens not another alien race where they look the same as us. Plus, they eat metal... One of the other things I loved about this book,was that it was just fun to read and laughed out loud a few times that had my husband looking at me funny. I had not read this Author before or the first book in the series. She made it easy to read these out of order with her references to the previous happenings and inclusion of characters from both books into the story line. Again, her fun and witty dialogue was a major draw for me.

Princess Perripraxis of the Capridocian Empire is better known on Earth as Perri Porters. She followed her sister to Earth just a few months ago and is living in a little town near area 51. Unfortunately her father the Emperor is on his way with an army to drag his daughters away so that he can marry them off to benefit him.
Brandt Turner is one of the few that know there are aliens living in town. His best friend is in love with one and her sister is the only female he has ever called a friend. So when she needs him to pretend to be her fiance, he readily agrees.
This is an absolutely crazy Sci-Fi romantic comedy. It is the second in the series, but you could read it on it's own. The mistakes our heroine make will have you in stitches. Our hero has always been a player and women are his strength and his weakness.
A lively lighthearted read that you can't help but enjoy.

I’m very pleased to say that my quest of looking for new authors and stories if going great, especially because I found this awesome, hilarious and fantastic story about aliens, humans and intergalactic wars. Think of it as Men in Black being a romantic comedy… Which is exactly what I was looking for, even if I never thought about it in my life, I mean, who wouldn't want to read a romance between a sexy human and a beautiful scaled alien? Well, I do, and I highly recommend to read it too, because it’s funny, sexy, romantic, it has a little of alien family drama, a man madly in love with an alien and some crazy alien-human negotiations to maintain intergalactic peace.

In Her Fake Alien Fiancée, Princess Perripraxis Malatesta, daughter of the emperor of the Capridocian Empire, intergalactic heiress, AKA Perri Porters, has been living on earth for a few months, sharing an apartment with her twin alien sister, Corripraxis, and working as a waitress in the local diner of a little town near Roswell, NM, a town full of aliens hidden under the disguise of human skin. Her life was simple, she worked, she spent time with her only friend Brandt, and went back home to maybe be with her sister or maybe, most likely, listen to her while she had “very loud human intercourse” *chuckles*... but yeah, her life on earth was fine, especially because she was far away from her father, the awful emperor who did awful things to her and her sister in the past—I didn’t read the previous book of the series, Out of This World, but I think all Perri’s perspective on the past events are revealed in this book, so I was not lost at all—and she felt safe and independent.

Until her intercom beeped…. With a call from her father.... Saying he’d come for her and her sister to continue with the plans he had for them and she said they couldn’t leave earth because they both found their soulmates and were engaged and they wouldn’t leave… So her father did what any father, alien or human, would do—or at least that’s what I thought he was doing—he said he’d come to earth to meet the human fiancees and if they were really soulmates, he had to bond with them. And Perri was screwed… Because she didn’t have a boyfriend, hence she didn’t have a fiancee, but she thought of asking Brandt, her best friend, the human who was helping understand human behavior and teaching her how to act like a human, to be her fake human fiancee…

And this is when things get interesting in the story, but I won’t tell you much more about it, but I can recommend you to get this book and find out by yourself how this story ends, because I assure you’ll enjoy it as much as I did, you’ll laugh your ass off with the absurdity of this story, with the innocent mind of the alien girl, her crazy comments and actions and most of all, you’ll fall in love with Perri and Brandt, the most adorable human-alien couple I’ve ever read.

His Fake Alien Fiancée is a cute and fun alien romance.

Perri’s father is coming to Earth and he plans on taking her and her sister back to their planet. But Perri doesn’t want to leave, Earth is just better. So she must find someone that would be willing to marry her alien self. And that is where Brandt steps in. He’s her best friend and then her fake fiancee.

Like any type of situation, such as this. You start to grow feelings for the other person. In turn, it turns a fake fiancee, into maybe a real fiancee.

This was a fun read but it took me awhile to get through. I’m not a huge fan of Third POV. I’ve grown to love some authors who do write that way. But I have to be in the mood for it. The writing though is excellent. The humor and love did show throughout this story. And there are little twists along the way.

Overall, It’s Four Boundless Stars from me.

I received this from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This is apparently book 2 in the Out of this world series I haven't read the first one in the series but I was able to follow the story. I just did not love it. The story was crazy and funny at times. I just did not love the ending it was kind of all over place. Just an okay read for me.

His Fake Alien Fiancée by Patricia Eimer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book was fantastic; it had me laughing from the time I picked it up to the minute I put it down. It was both a paranormal romance and a comedy of sorts.

Perri and Corri were Alien Princesses. It is hilarious throughout the book how the girls are learning to live like humans. Corri had a human soul mate, Mattais. Perri and Brandt were great friends. I love how Brandt steps up to help Perri out when her father comes to earth.

This is the first book I have read of Patricia Eimer's. I will definitely read more work by her.

DNF, I think that having not read the previous story was a detriment. Maybe it wasn't necessary - but would have served to make this story a little more engaging.
