Close Encounters of the Sexy Kind (Planet Nerak, Book 1)
Barton is gorgeous and attentive, but technically he is a robot (with a very erotic feature) built specifically as Mala's Companion. Companions are important to the inhabitants of Mala's world since there are no men. After watching a documentary left by her space-traveling grandmother, Mala decides to visit Earth. Landing in the middle of Texas, she meets Sheriff Mason McKinley, who is investigating a report by the local crackpot, who insists that a UFO had landed. Mala doesn't make a lot of sense to Mason, but she looks human, and, assuming that she has amnesia, he lets her stay at his home. When he goes off to work, she hacks into his PayPal account and orders $3,243.22 worth of sex toys. This sexy, humorous romance combined with kitschy sci-fi is a fun read for anyone who appreciates tabloid humor. Mason is pretty darn hot even if he doesn't have a robot's versatile attachment, and Mala's outsider perceptions are entertaining.Diana Tixier HeraldCopyright © American Library Association.
