While this is a standalone story, it is best enjoyed once you’ve read the other PDA booksZaria Grande can’t believe she’s invited to a royal birthday party…on another planet and accompanied by a matchmaker! The friend who invited her is clearly nuts. Another planet, hah! But…what if she begs this matchmaker to hook her up? It’s about time she found a strapping hot shifter to cuddle with this … strapping hot shifter to cuddle with this Christmas. As long as he’s no Scrooge, she’s open to anything.
Jaded by the Earthling’s materialistic mentality during the holidays, Quint Treyvaal doesn’t care much for parties and socializing. But he wants a mate. He asked Gerri to find him a female and she delivers a few hours later. Talk about express service! Losing his mate the next day isn’t part of the plan. Time to show Zaria this lion’s the only man for her.
Quint’s hard work to romance Zaria is put to the test when a wrench is thrown into his plans. For Zaria, leaving her life on Earth might be asking too much. Quint’s going to need extra help to get his mate to see that loving him is a chance worth taking.

I’m a huge fan of the author, Milly Taiden’s work and this is definitely no exception! I love all of her paranormal romance stories and this one hit the spot, especially on the weekend 😉
The story was perfect, at least for me and I liked every single moment I spent reading this and I’m already excited and waiting for this author’s next story! 🙂
I always recommend these types of stories to my friends because every story is like an escapism when the stress gets to be too much and reading a good, sexy story does the trick, for sure 😉

She loved Christmas. Family. Friends. Only her family was all grown up. No more little cousins to watch open presents. Mom and dad were on a sun vacation. The invitation to visit her friend whom she hadn’t seen in far too long was just what she needed. Triplets birthdays. Not Christmas but close enough. And that’s how she met Geri and the discussion of shifter matchmaking came up. On the way to another planet. Yep, that’s where her friend had disappeared to. A husband and 3 babies later here they were. Maybe she needed a shifter man. Geri offered to look into it for her.
She couldn’t buy the insta-love. And his opinion about Christmas on earth–no way.
They feel the connection. He knows she’s his. Can he convince her?
Another fun short read and love connection.
The reason for the season
I love how the author incorporated the joy of the holidays with her PDA series. I felt like I was experiencing the fun and excitement of the holidays right along with the characters. This couple was an easy one to fall in love with. The way they connected while sharing their favorite parts about Christmas was amazing. And that little hint of danger was the perfect added touch. I can’t wait to see what Gerri cooks up for her shifters next.
Xmas in aurora
Good to find a person who loves Christmas as much as I do and who takes her traditions where ever she goes…
I love how the series keeps tying together . Milly Taiden is such a great author I fan girl over her books all the time. I highly recommend the entire series. Hot shifters and bbw how could you not love these book.
fun read
I love Milly Taiden’s PDA or Paranormal Dating Agency books. So much so that I tend to read them the day they come out and then when i need something to cheer me up I grab one and re-read it again…like I did this one. Each one of the books is a stand alone but can be read together as well… of course to enjoy the experience of Geri Wilder and her matchmaking. In this book she is on Earth but leaves to visit Aurora taking Zaria with her. Zaria is a friend of Bella who we know is mated and lives there. Zaria has been missing her friend and wondering where she has disappeared to. Since Zaria was invited to a party on Aurora and she is also open to being matched ( although she is somewhat iffy on believing about traveling into another planet bit). Oh and Zaria loves Christmas… all things bout the holiday. Gotta remember that. Then we have Quint. He has been to Earth so he is familiar with the customs on Earth and while would not mind being mated to an earth girl if that is what is fated to him, he doesn’t want someone who is info the holidays. He doesn’t like the commercialism that he remembers from Earth.
These two meet each other are they fated? If they are can two opposites that meet in the middle so fated mates can me forever or will they be forever billions of miles apart?
In the 18th book of the paranormal dating agency from Milly Taiden we get to meet Quint and Zaria human and lion shifter. Zaria gets invited to a party on another planet my her best friend Bella which she has not seen for a long time. Zaria is not sure if Bella is kidding or has lost it. Zaria figures she will accept and see how it goes on a planet that Bella disappeared to. She’s s supposed to meet the well known shifter matchmaker, Gerri, to get to the party. Zaria decides she will ask about getting a mate from Gerri. Quint has spent some time on Earth & wasn’t t thrilled with how he thought most folks celebrate the holidays. He much prefers his home world of Aurora but he decides to ask Gerri for help getting a mate. Quint doesn’t make a very good impression on Zaria and now he will have to work extra hard to convince Zaria that she the one for him. But what happens when unexpected problems arise and scare Zaria into deciding to leave for home. Will she stay long enough to make things work or decide she had enough to go home.
Reading this book compared to the other Milly Taiden has written I have to say this one is very different.
Saucy, curvy female:
Hot alien male:
Fun story with lots of smexy-times:
What more do you need?
Taiden always does justice to shifters and aliens and curves. Her books are great when you are looking for a quick read.
I received a couple of this book from the author/publisher via Booksprout. My thoughts and opinions are my own and without bias.
This is another really great book in this series. Its Zaria and Quints story and i really enjoyed these two. She still cant believe shes on another planet and about to meet her mate. Could not put down.
Love this world and every couple in it. This was a very sweet Christmas story. If only I could escape to Aurora .. I’d gladly follow Gerri anywhere.
This is a Hot one folks. It’s also very Christmassy. It brings together old and new friends. It also burns the sheets. Quint sees and smells her from afar and he had found his mate. She’s not s sure but being an adventurous soul why not. If only he would understand that everyone celebrates Christmas in their own sometimes shallow way. Then there is a little dissention in the ranks. Ms Taiden satisfys that’s for sure. I volunteered to read and review an advance reader copy.
This is Book 18 in the Paranormal Dating Agency. It can be read as a stand-alone but would be more enjoyable if you’ve read the others in the series. Zaria has been invited to a birthday party on another planet. Is this also her chance to get her a hot shifter, too? It’s Christmas and she wants a really good gift under her tree so she’s going to get the matchmaker to help her out. Quint is ready for a mate. Now comes the hard work of Quint showing Zaria that he can be her present. It’s going to be hard work, though. It’s a short story with a lot packed into it and it’s so good. I highly recommend it. It makes you want to meet Gerri and some of her friends.
What an awesome story! It’s the best of both worlds…Christmas and shifters. As soon as Quint sees Zaria he knows that she is his mate. But, he makes some comments about Christmas that makes him seem like a Scrooge. Now he must change her mind and show her that they belong together AND that he doesn’t hate Christmas. This story brings friendship, some romance, hot steamy sex and some intrigue! I love Gerri too. She’s amazing.I loved dates that Quint put together on Earth to show her he “gets” Christmas. Keep bringing us the PDA books!!!!

Zaria hasn’t seen her friend Bella for years, it feels like she literally fell off the planet! That description is way more apt than she thought. When she gets an invite to her friends toddlers birthday party she is in shock, she didn’t know Bella had got married, never mind had kids!
With cryptic instructions to turn up to some random elderly lady’s apartment, Zaria isn’t sure what to make of the whole thing. But being asked to step through a space portal was not what she saw coming! But once she gets to Aurora she finds herself in love with the beauty of the place. Oh and the man candy certainly helps. She has yet to see an ugly shifter!
Quint has finally caved and asked Gerri to find his mate. But all he does is put his foot in it. He insults Zaria’s home world, her beliefs and traditions around Christmas. He has a whole lot to learn about Earth females!
The first part of the story does go a bit quickly for my tastes, but once Quint sets out to woo and win over his mate the pace slows nicely. Sweet, sexy and surprising.
Geri strikes again!
I so love this lady, her sass her knowing she is just a gem. The huge series keeps in line with Geri playing matchmaker.
Sometimes when one can’t find a mate in their own world they must outsource. Quint sees his cousin all in love with his human mate and he wants that and when Gerrie puts what he wants right in his path, well he will find himself doing some back peddling.
Zaria has some ideas on Christmas and rues the day when this alien hottie dis’ her and Christmas. she did mention he was hot yeah? but in her mind, she knows just being hot isn’t enough. Woo me, date me, let’s get to know each other.
A quick read that just flowed all the way through, seemed a bit rushed in some places but even that didn’t take away from the aw factor in between the sexy growly shifter, and the sexy sassy human. The story was a lot of fun and a great holiday read. Enjoy
Over the top with the cuteness, I really enjoy these Paranormal Dating Agency books, Geri Wilder is my favorite recurring character. I liked the way Quint and Zaria bristle each other at the beginning and hoe he keeps sticking his foot in his mouth around her. Zaria is cool, but just a little to put together to be believable. They both used “my love” as an endearment excessively, I felt like I needed to check my insulin at some parts. There wasn’t a huge complication or conflict in this story, just a few minor ones. It was a cute Christmassy kind of love story that will make you feel warm and fuzzy after you read it.
I love that all the ladies are still so happy and another successful match was made by Gerri… The women have formed a bond not only as humans but as friends to help and support eachother in their new worls.. Every time Gerri visits their group gets bigger.. love these sexy fun stories..
Zaria didn’t go to Aurora looking for a mate and wasn’t sure she wanted him when she found him. Sure she was attracted, but was he worth changing planets for? Never mind he managed to insult her in regards to Christmas traditions on Earth.
Quint is ready to find his mate, but he doesn’t know when to keep his mouth shut. A little groveling goes a long way! He manages to get Zaria to come to Aurora to see how things are. Now if the anti-human group could not mess things up for him.
I loved this story. It answered so many questions I had about the cultural differences between the Earth women and their alien mates. This is a sweet and sexy story that I highly recommend.
