This book is a quick read and contains all of the excitement that keeps a book going. It’s a perfect compliment to the other books in the Vaxxlian Alien Mail Order bride series and I love that this particular male brought his children with him. I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to future books by the author.
Slow burn romance against a backdrop of increasing danger
Thade, a Vaxxlian commander, has survived the loss of his planet ands beloved mate. His four children have miraculously survived, and the hopeful widower, progeny in tow, is in New York City to claim his mail order human bride. Murphy’s Law intervenes, with typically disastrous results, leaving the alien dad and kiddies stranded n a NYC hotel while he searches in vain for a replacement human bride candidate. He’s got fourteen days… Alana, the hotel’s on-call child care provider watches the kids, and maybe she watches hunky Thade too? He certainly watches her, and really likes what he sees. A young woman who has fourteen days to jettison some hefty baggage and take up with a lonely alien crying out for love… Heat, angst, sweetness, and lotsa good feels.

I think this is my favorite story in this series. I just loved Thade and Alana. Thade’s children were so adorable and helpful. Thade works hard to understand Alana’s reticence and it is very sweet. I really liked the ending.
Another absolutely great book. I totally loved it. Hooked from the beginning.
Thade comes to earth, with his 4 children, to get a human mate. When he arrives at the door of his chosen one, from the mail order bride service, she is rude to him and refuses him. So Thade decides to find his own mate. It does not go well. Females run from him, ignore him or are already mated.
Alana works as a babysitter at a posh hotel. Though she wants to be a teacher,she just can not get a job. She takes on the job of caring for Thade’s kids.
All goes well until the day of the riots….. Will they survive?….
My favorite part was with Charlie. He was so funny! I wish I could get a parrot like that!!

Thade and his children — daughter, Yulna, his twins Krezz and Flatt, and the oldest, Xerrn — finally made it to Earth after a 3-month journey on the transport. Five hundred Vaxxlian warriors arrived to collect their new mates, human females to whom they had been matched through a mail order bride program. They found her apartment, but the woman who answered the door was not happy to see them. She had applied to the program when she was fighting with her boyfriend. They were together again and she was no longer interested – nor would she want to raise someone else’s children. She slammed the door in Thade’s face.
Thade and his children went to a hotel and he booked the Presidential Suite. A childcare provider, Alana, was sent to meet him and would care for the children while he went out to find a replacement bride willing to marry and live on New Vaxx. Alana had already worked 50 hours this week and was exhausted. But the overtime would be worth it. She was surprised when the tall, handsome alien opened the door and invited her in. One of the twins broke the food replicator, so while Thade went to the kitchen to fix it, Alana met the other children in the living area. The boys were all taller than her 5’8”, and they each started asking questions about whether she was mated, did she like children, and would she like to marry their father! Thade, who had heard her answers, asked her to speak with him privately. To her shock, he asked her to marry him, but she refused since they didn’t know each other and she couldn’t leave Earth or her friends.
When the kids were in bed, Alana looked at all the paintings they had done of their planet. She felt a pang of warmth for them. Thade’s children had treated her with kindness and respect, cleaned up their own messes from their activities, and were helpful preparing the table for lunch and dinner. Yulna cried in her sleep for her mother, and Alana held her close and comforted her. Thade found them cuddled up asleep when he returned early the next morning. The kind lady from the front desk, Maggie Hampton, had given him ideas on how to romance a woman. After his fruitless search for a mate, he wondered if he could romance Alana? Her eyes opened, but she hadn’t seen him there as she stroked Yulna and whispered soft words of comfort. Thade began to gift her with flowers, jewelry, candy, and stuffed animals, even when she said it was not appropriate since she worked for him. Her crush from the first day never lessened and, this time when she reminded him to go look for a bride, her heart wasn’t in it. She might even be feeling jealousy?
The city was having more and more riots as things worsened. Thade told her he wanted her to stay in his suite for her safety. He wanted her to be his mate. It already felt like she was part of his family. His children adored her and he held great affection for her too. But why was she still pushing him to go out and find a bride? Maybe it was time to ask her again to marry him?
This was such a wonderful story that melts the reader’s heart. Thade’s children were so adorable. And seeing what a wonderful father he was would make any woman love him. Why does Alana think her plans for life on Earth were anywhere near as precious as what she had right in front of her? Would she see the truth in time before she lost this family who already wanted her in their lives?
Thade goes to Earth to pick up his mail order bride. When he get there with his four children he finds that his intended mate is backing out of the agreement, she has a boyfriend and she hates kids. Wow, what a bi**ch. So the go to a hotel so he can find a mate on his own. He has the hotel get a childcare person, Alana, and goes to find a mate. (No such luck in NYC) This is where Thade get a crash course in wooing a human woman. Such a great story. The children are a riot and try to talk Alana into mating with their father. Plenty of adventure, drama, riots (naturally NCY style) and Thade and Alana getting to know each other. Wonderful story. I liked how it ended.

I thought that this was a terrific read. A wonderful blend of humor, romance and emotion is combined with hot aliens to create a thoroughly enjoyable book and series. Thade and Alana’s story is very cute and fun. I loved how Thade new what he wanted the minute he laid eyes on it and I adored how Alana was torn between the plans her head had made and the desires her heart had. So enjoyable.
*kinda spoiler alert* This was the cutest, sweetest alien story. I think Thade and his children are absolutely adorable. When his matched mate changes her mind Thade has to search for a new mate and mother to his children. He needs a babysitter while he looks for a new mate.. but when she arrives, he feels an automatic connection. Can he woo her in time?! Love love love!

Great ending to this series, although I do wish there were more to come. Thade is very determined to persuade his babysitter to be his mate, he is also patient and a dedicated father. The kids are a bit rambunctious yet so sweet and instantly connect with Alana. She is independent, stubborn about leaving Earth and fighting her attraction. This is the perfect solution for her though and she just fits them. Thade really romances her and really shows her that his heart has chosen her. Heartwarming, humorous with a few nail-biting moments. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Thade and his four children have come to Earth to claim his new mate but find she has changed her mind. Now he going to search on his own for a mate and the hotel has a babysitter registry to accommodate his children. Alana is sent to his suite and he is automatically taken with the way she interacts with his children that he asks her to become his mate. She refuses and he searches New York City for a new mate with no success, then he decides Alana is the one he wants and begins to court her. Alana refuses even though NYC is becoming a war zone, with riots occurring in the streets, and violence occurring all around. There is a HEA but it takes awhile. The story is well written, entertaining and keeps your attention. I would recommend this book as a great read.
Babysitter or Bride? This is another sweet romance in this series! Thade comes to Earth with his four children to claim his bride. But the woman chosen through the Vaxxlian Mail Order Brides program bails on him. Now he must find a mate. When he meets the hotel babysitter hired to watch his children while he searches for his mate, he is immediately enamored by her and his attraction just grows as he watches her with his children so he proposes. At first, Alana can’t begin to think about leaving Earth with him but she slowly changes her mind. I really enjoyed this story and on to the next in the series.

Among the three brothers, Thade, the eldest, found his mate the last. It wasn’t easy, he has 4 children. Nonetheless, he found a mate worthy of him and his children.
There were numerous times I’d like to shake Alana, he found the perfect alien for him, why wouldn’t she take his offer, there is nothing for her on her earth. Thankfully, she came to her senses.
There are three stories to this series, I wonder what are the stories of the other Vaxxlians.

Not only was Thade romancing her but the children were as well!
by sewsummore
Thade had been disapointed when he arrived on Earth to collect his bride, only to find she had changed her mind. Desperate for a mate and mother for his children he organised a baby sister for his children and went searching for a bride himself. Alana was the childrens baby sitter and had been surprised when Thade had asked her to be his mate when he first met her, but she soon realized that he had been serious when he started to romance her with gifts. She had grown attached to the children but to marry a stranger and leave Earth was something she had not wanted, regardless of her growing attachment to the children’s father. However when conditions on Earth became dangerous, Thade decided to make the decision for her and she didnt resist. This was a romance that captured my imagination. Not only was Thade romancing her but the children made no secret that they wanted her to return with them.

This is the third book in the series about Vaxxlian males coming to earth to find their “mail order brides.” Thade’s bride has changed her mind and gone back to her boyfriend leaving Thade and his children two weeks to find a replacement. Enter Alana, a babysitter from the hotel where they are staying. She is resistant to his invitation to return to his home planet because she doesn’t know him and isn’t sure she wants to leave her home since she thinks she needs to stay and help heal the earth.
This is a sweet little romance with some humorous moments. His approach to finding a bride is funny if you picture a man wandering the streets of New York approaching random women asking them to be his bride.
This is an enjoyable story and a quick read.

Loved this third installment in this series. It’s a sweet love story of a hot alien, alpha daddy seeking his human bride. I especially like how this book includes Thade’s four children. Even if you haven’t had the pleasure of reading the other two books in this series, this book can be read as a stand alone…however once you’ve read this one, you’re more than likely to want to read Rozar and Slate’s stories as well.

I enjoyed Thade and Alana, the kids and of course Charlie. I am glad that Alana was perfect for Thade because she was so sweet with his kids especially Yulna. I liked the relationship development of Thade and Alana.

Sweet and Sexy.
This is another sweet and sexy story in the Intergalactic Dating Agency series. Thade and Alana were endearing characters with great chemistry. I also loved Charlie the sassy bird.
