Another fabulous Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides book from Cara Bristol!
THE FATES HAD MATCHED US, LAUGHED, AND THROWN ROADBLOCKS IN OUR WAY
Once again, Ms. Cara Bristol has spun an amazing sci-fi romance with humor, with a touch of mystery and suspense. The new series is a spin-off from her Alien Mate series where human women were sent to Dakon to be paired up with Dakonian men. In this new series, the Intergalactic Dating Agency has involved, allowing alien men and human women to use a computer match-making program to help match them up and the aliens will come to Earth. While this is part of a series, each book will read well as a stand-alone.
The fourth story will bring Dakonian, Sixx to earth to find his mate and be matched to Moxie. While he plans to return to Dakon, she had hoped he would remain here—now they are at an impasse.
“Will two Fated mates have to part? Or can they find a way to work it out?” “So where do we go from here? He’s GU—galactically undesirable. He intends to go back to his planet. What’s more important—love or a computer game?”
Moxie Maguire’s life has revolved around coding and creating video games. While she is working for a company, one that she has shared her baby, Zephyr, she plans to eventually leave and start up her own gaming company and even has another game in the works. Work keeps her so busy she doesn’t have time to date and instead joins IDA, Intergalactic Dating Agency and has learned she has been matched. Meeting Sixx only adds more dilemma to her because she feels attracted to him.
The story has some mystery, suspense, danger, and decisions. What a shock when Moxie is attacked by a mugger and injured but so is Sixx when he comes to her rescue. He will retrieve her purse, which also has her phone and the game she has been working on for her future. There a strong chemistry between Moxie and Sixx, but there is also the issue of if they decide to become mates, which planet will they call home.
“Don’t let fear make your decisions. Passion and hope, an irresistible combination, glinted in his eyes. He was bold but not brash. He liked me. And I liked him. My pulse raced, and my stomach fluttered.”
“The Fates had played a practical joke. I couldn’t leave. Sixx couldn’t stay. It seems to me you’re letting a sure thing go for a chance at a maybe.”
Strange things happen with work, plus the attack on Moxie is followed by a second attack leaving more questions than answers. Both Sixx and Moxie are miserable without each other and decisions need to be made for their future.
“Contemplating Sixx leaving caused my chest to tighten and my heart to ache. Game or no game, the brightness of my future dimmed if he wasn’t in it.”
Sixx can’t stay on Earth, and he can’t fantom leaving Moxie behind. What will it take for him to help her see that moving to Dakon doesn’t mean the end of her dreams? Does their future on Dakon offer the chance at having the best of both worlds?
“Mates, husband and wife, partners.”
Moxie is a workaholic with a goal of starting her own gaming company but she also wants a man who will love her. She joins the IDA and meets this hot Dakonian who is a single father so his plans are to find his mate and take her back to Dakon. Sixx immediately knows Moxie is his fated mate. Moxie has strong feelings for Sixx but she never planned to leave earth. Fate had other plans for the two of them. Another great book in the series with a happily ever after.
Moxie hoped to find the perfect mate by joining the Intergalactic Dating Agency but when she thought she had, the whole thing gets turned upside down. She wants to stay on Earth, Sixx wants nothing more than to find his mate and take her to his home. Can love overcome the problems these two face by being from two different worlds? A fun read. Ms Bristol has done it again!
Who doesn’t love a dating agency that actually finds true love for people? Sixx is a fun character who would be an awesome neighbor. Moxie is a blast. And the ending is not what you expect. Read and enjoy!
This was the fourth book in the Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides series and was about two new characters named Moxie and Sixx. Moxie is connected to Lexi and Toni from the first two books in the series and we also get to briefly meet her friend Barb who is the heroine of the next book in the series (Kord: Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides #5 (Intergalactic Dating Agency)). I really enjoyed getting to know Moxie and Sixx and seeing how things unfolded for them as well as the unexpected twist about another side character. The epilogue was really cute and I enjoyed meeting Sixx’s son. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.
A sweet and emotional read! I loved the chemistry between Moxie and Sixx.. I loved the storyline that didn’t look like it would end happily but worked itself out. I really thought her boss was the slimy bug behind all the drama, like he seriously was evil, he was out to hurt Moxie but she didn’t see it I read this straight through, but it’s a Cara Bristol book, so that was expected, lol. I recommend this series to my reader friends, and I definitely recommend this one too!
Great sci fi romance. Unusual alien characters.
A mystery, romance and chivalry make for a good read!
Great read!
I enjoyed Sixx so much that I went looking for more by this author and bought them!
I like the thought of “alien” life forms closely related to us that we could procreate with.
Helping a society that’s been plagued by a plague that’s decimated their planet’s ability to produce enough females of their own, Sixx along with others of his mind have headed to earth to find mates via a marriage app.
Not all goes well, even as Sixx IS thrilled with his match.
I don’t want to give anything away!
I hope you have as good a time as I did while reading this and other books by this author.
Love it!

OBAH! Dakonian males seek mates on Earth
WOW! The Intergalactic Dating Agency’s newest branch has a familiar clientele. Those handsomely primitive hotties from the frozen world of Dakon, are no longer content to wait for a slim chance at the on-planet bride lottery, they’re coming to Earth to find their own. Sixx is the first of his kind to try the new dating agency. He’s totally thrilled to meet his agency-matched mate, Moxie, and take her home to Dakon to meet his son, and be a family. Moxie is likewise attracted to the max when the sexy Sixx enters her life, but then he turns it upside down. Moxie’s dream, her life’s ambition, and the reason she’s tolerated her slave-status job and her creepy controlling boss, is to be a RPG game designer. BAD FIT for frozen, low-tech, one computer per planet Dakon. But surely, Sixx can move here? She can’t dump her dream. He can’t abandon his beloved son, or take him from his birth mother on Dakon. The heart of the story isn’t just the steamy sex, or the weird stuff with Moxie’s creepy boss. It’s the eternal conundrum: ” Love is all there is,” vs. “Love is never enough.” Cara Bristol makes fine, sexy, and suspenseful entertainment of this dilemma, right up until Sixx and Moxie choose their own HEA. Great stuff, and there’s more where Sixx came from…
This story made me smile so hard. I truly enjoyed reading it. Sixx had obligations on his planet and Moxie was driven to succeed on Earth. The two had such great chemistry that the reader really wants them to figure it out. The figuring it out was suspenseful and hilarious.
When I want a little spicy fun, light and easy in my alien romance, I know that I need look no further than this light sci-fi series from Cara Bristol. Her Dakonians are stand-up, loyal, sweet, strong and oh so devoted to their special fated females and its always a blast seeing them working to win said female to their side.
Review
Sixx is the fourth of the Dakonian Alien Mail Order Bride standalone series within the larger Intergallactic Dating Agency series.
Sixx has come to earth to find a mate he can take home to be with him and his son to build a family. He thinks he has found that with Moxie on their first date until he learns that she has no intentions of leaving earth. Ever. She has her own dreams and no matter how much chemistry they share or that he knows they are fated mates, she isn’t coming back with him. But, he has a month before he must leave so he has by no means given up persuading her to change her mind.
Moxie is a workaholic both for her bosses gaming company and her own side work to develop her own game. She has shunted aside her romantic mom, her friends, and her dating life for her work and dream of publishing her own game and having her own software company. But, a gal needs a life so she decides to try the Intergalactic Dating Agency that gave her friends the alien men of their dreams. Sixx is all she could ever want if only he would stay on earth so she could have her dream and love without having to give something up.
It was with anticipation of an easy, light read that would leave a smile on my face that I picked this one up and settled in to enjoy. I liked both Sixx and Moxie and thought the author developed a solid romantic conflict that through a complication into an otherwise easy fated mates scenario. Moxie was the focus as she had all the friends, family, and work connections there on earth so I was glad to get a bit of Sixx’s home situation at one point.
And, the added suspense facet of Moxie’s attack and the further incidents was a bonus.
I can’t wait for Moxie’s colorful country gal friend, Barb, to get her story next.
All in all, its a fast read, but not under-developed for sci-fi romance readers on the go that I can definitely recommend.
This is another great read by this talented author. Moxie and Sixx live on two different worlds. They want to be together, but they each want to do it on their own world. This is a wonderful story and I would recommend it.
This is a outstanding, entertaining Sci-fi alien romance and a pleasure to read. The plot is vivid and delightful, it is full of intriguing incidents, and it certainly kept my attention. The characters are well developed with attributes of determination & loyalty when faced with certain situations.
It is about: a female software developer (Moxie) with dreams of meeting Mr. Right & decides to join the intergalactic dating agency & is matched to a very hot horned alien (Sixx) but there are a few problems that stand in their way.
There is: twists & turns, intrigue, suspense, humor, mystery, attractions, action danger, some violence, attacks, vandalism, accusations, misunderstandings, confusion, disagreements, disbelief, decisions, compromises, happiness, some steam & a sweet, happy conclusion.
I really enjoyed reading this Sci-Fi alien romance and would recommend it.
“I received a complimentary copy, and this is my honest & voluntary opinion”
Hope and romance, with a side of humor!
Sixx is such a delightful male! I love his desire to protect his mate, his struggle to understand the complexities of human behavior AND the language. These misunderstandings make for frequent laughter. Moxie is a hard-working woman. She has her eyes set on her goals, and misses the most significant points, to my thinking. Some incidents, and an afternoon of quiet thought show her the way to go.
Do read, you won’t want to miss a minute of this gem!
Moxie is the ultimate gamer girl. She is striving towards her dream of owning her own game company. Pity she has to finance it by working for her ex, who has become a bit of a douchecanoe if I’m honest!
But to appease her perma-romantic mother, she joins up with the IDA. When she meets Sixx, after an initial hiccup with an interlope, she sees what she could be missing. But can this alien, single father really be enough to change her dream for? Sixx instantly knew Moxie was his mate, now he just has to convince her! He needs a mate but he won’t leave his son behind.
Loved fiding out who was behind all the attacks on Moxie – totally called it! Joha is a total sweetheart and I loved the way that Sixx and Fala, with her new mate, just get on with being great parents with no animosity. Great wee read!
