To blend in among humans and win their favor, a couple of new-in-town extraterrestrials disguise themselves as English pop stars — and kidnap geeky Daisy to help them pull it off.Twenty-nine-year-old Daisy Kirkwood has only just escaped her small-town life and run away to New York City, the land of last-minute secret gigs at famous musical venues, when she’s kidnapped by aliens. Unfortunately, no … Unfortunately, no one ever writes about how to handle alien abduction in those fancy NYC guidebooks.
Griffin and Dev are supermassively sexy aliens from a politically and environmentally troubled planet who arrive on Earth with very little knowledge about human ways other than what they learned from a wayward E! News signal. Their mission is to pretend to be the most influential people on the planet—English pop stars, of course!—and gain the help of a powerful secret society. Upon arriving, they abduct Daisy Kirkwood, a nerdy young woman who loves music but could seriously use a bit of help in the love-life department. Though Griffin and Daisy initially squabble, neither can deny the intergalactic sparks whenever they’re too close to each other. Together, they must face murderous aliens, cultural misunderstandings, bad backup musicians, and the dark side of fame and the media, all set against a tight deadline…
Part High Fidelity, part Bridget Jones’ Diary, part Doctor Who, Dating an Alien Pop Star is a sexy romantic comedy. Fans of Chick Lit and humorous science fiction or paranormal romance will love this new series.

sounded like a fun book. i did not fine it fun enough to finish reading
A young adult tale about aliens coming to earth as the next rock sensation. It’s told from the point of view of a twenty-something with no life—the book is amusing but gets a bit old.
The premise is interesting and, given the base concept, the book should be hilarious. It’s not. It veers from a steamy romance novel to a strange first contact novel and back several times. What humor there is seems contrived. I just couldn’t get into it and it’s one of the very few books that I’ve ever abandoned without finishing. Apparently, I’m not the target demographic.

This book surprised me. I didn’t expect to enjoy it much but it was a fun read.
Very Funny book. See full review at https://thesciencefictionfantasybookstore.wordpress.com/2019/03/06/got-me-laughing-so-hard-i-scared-the-cats-off-the-bed-dating-an-alien-pop-star-by-kendra-l-saunders/
A quirky and fun take on aliens, romance and even a little bit of politics. Looking forward to the next book in the series!
Sometimes I just want to read something light, funny, entertaining. I’m not looking for information, or sermons. This book is all those light non serious things. It’s the popcorn of literature. You finish the serving and wonder if you might want a little more.
I really enjoyed reading it.
I don’t think I am the intended audience.
Cute to being with bit gets old fast
Hilarious SciFi with a twist of magic. Loved it and can’t wait to read the next one in the series!
This was SUCH a fun read. Fans of Bridget Jones’s Diary will definitely get a kick out of this as Daisy has to deal with Aliens! Yes it sounds insane but it makes for a fun, fast paced read. This is one of those perfect beach type books. Aliens that want to be English Popstars? because seriously how else are you going to get all the power in the world? Awesome pop culture references this book will appeal to SO many people that you just need to pick up a copy and read it. An EASY 5 stars from me! V””V
