Celestial Seduction was a super quick read that I got through in about an hour. Jessica did a good job of giving decent back story that was pertinent without prolonging the story line.With a story this short I found it a bit hard to invest in the characters emotions so I read it completely on a superficial level. Having said that I did find it well wrote and easy to read. The writing was fluid and constant. I found no lagging parts, not that it was long enough for that.The story is the extremely quick relationship between Carrie and Frey. Having met through a dating service set up for one night stands. Do those exist? Is it weird that I'm pretty sure I would want nothing to do with that? I dunno. Even with a ton of research into each person, still seems kind of skeevy. Carrie is nervous, understandably, because her last sexy encounter involved her husband. Now divorced she just needs to blow off some steam, but isn't sure she can go through with a one night stand.Frey is an alien. Yes. An alien. His "promised mate" did him wrong and so he has decided earth women are better. So in the midst of their one night he not only solves Carrie's "I can't get preggo" problems with his magic hands. But he also tells her he's an alien. Now I like to think I have an open mind  but this gives a whole other dimension to interracial dating. Carrie doesn't seem to mind his admission and eagerly continues the date after his truthful speech. Huh? No questions? That was odd to me. Oh you're an alien? Sweet, now do me with your noduled penis! I would have liked a least a bit a balking on Carrie's part to make it a bit more believable.Other then that issue I found the novella fun. It's definitely a fluffy read but it's good. The sex is well wrote and I found it engaging. The ending is neatly given to the reader with a bow on top. Completely predictable but with a novella it generally is. If you're looking for something to make your lunch hour in the break room a bit more fun..this is the read for you. Sci Fi, quirky, fun and sexy, Celestial Seduction is a novella you need to read.I give Celestial Seduction by Jessica E Subject 3.50 stars!Nikki- Ramblings From A Chaotic Mind
