Ava is a housekeeper aboard
Star Spirit, a luxury cruise ship travelling between the Milky Way and the
Belvarian System. Coming from a middle-class family on Earth, she is considered
by passengers as nothing more than an object to be tossed away when they’re
done with her.
Shunned because of his lineage…
Banned from several planets
across the universe, Nate struggles to run his interstellar shipping business.
But the DNA of an exterminated race runs through his blood, giving him a
diluted form of their powers, and leaving him labeled as a terrorist.
Both searching for the one…
Through her 1Night Stand dating
service, Madame Evangeline matches these two together for a celestial escape on
the pleasure planet, Elatia.
Will Ava and Nate find what
they’re looking for, or will their date be just another night on another
planet?

My Review:
Aliens, hot aliens and a 1
Night Stand set up by Madame Eve, need I say more. Combining the lines of Elatia
and 1NS this story has it all, that suspense of who the date is going to be and
can a one night stand last more than a night paired with a pleasure planet like
Elatia and I was hooked.
Ava was a great heroine who had
just enough of a innocence and a sense of wonder to make me see why she would
happily yearn to find someone to take her away and to spend her life with. Nate
is loveable because of his uniqueness and the fact that he’s a hero who
definitely is ready to settle down with someone who loves him first.
Ms. Subject does a great job of
writing a story with aliens and humans and making me love both, making them the
same yet different enough that I was even more in love because of their
differences. I look forward to reading more of her smoking hot aliens, please
keep them coming!

Excerpt:
Ava
glanced at the empty seat beside her. Late, as usual.
Michelle
raced toward her then slammed onto the cushion. “Jeez, why can’t we have
buckled seats in the rooms like other mother travelers?”
She
rolled her eyes, sighing. “Who was the guy this time?”
“Oh,
not one, but two. Remember the twins from Room 317 I told you about?”
Gasping,
she clasped her hands over her mouth. The twins were hot, but two at the same
time? She definitely had different morals than her friend. “You’re
unbelievable.”
“No,
they are. I’m meeting with them again on Elatia. Want to join us? I’m
willing to share.”
“No,
thank you.” She blushed, imagining having sex with someone her best friend had
done the deed with, and being in the same room while Michelle got busy with
another guy. She would never do such a thing. Sex happened behind closed doors.
“C’mon.
We’re going to be on the pleasure planet. Time to have our sexual fantasies
come true.” Michelle squeezed her thigh. “You haven’t had any fun on this
voyage at all. Did you meet someone back home before we left and not tell me?”
She
shook her head. How she wished. “I’m saving myself.”
Michelle
snorted. “For what?”
“Never
mind.” She sighed. “You wouldn’t understand.”
“Whatever.”
Michelle frowned, turning away, leaving her to wallow in her own guilt.
“By
the way,” her friend continued. “You’re supposed to go to the communications
center after you’ve escorted your passengers off. You have a message from
someone named Madame Evangeline.”
Ava
groaned, her stomach twisting in knots. “I didn’t expect to hear from her so
soon,” she whispered, fingering the hem of her shirt. Now she’d have the return
trip to increase her anxiousness for the date.
Michelle
twisted back toward her. “What? Who is Madame Evangeline, anyway?”
Ava
glanced around. The rest of the staff seemed to be engrossed in their own
conversations—reciting their plans during the layover on Elatia—but she still
didn’t want anyone to hear. She leaned closer to her friend. “I applied to a
dating service before we left. Madame Eve is the woman who runs it. I’m saving
myself for my date.”
Michelle’s
eyes widened. “So you’re meeting your special someone on Elatia? Could it be a
passenger from the Star Spirit?”
“No.”
She dreaded the thought. Guests from the mother traveler would still see her as
a second-class being, and she didn’t know of any employee on board looking for
a serious relationship. She jumped at the crunch of the ship docking,
unprepared to meet her date already. “It won’t happen until we return to Earth.
It can’t.”
“Well,
do you mind if I come with you to find out? I have to wait for the twins to
complete their quarantine period, anyway.”
“Sure.”
She could use the support. Clasping her shoulder straps, she took a deep
breath, willing her body to stop shaking.
***
“What
does it say?” Michelle leaned over her shoulder, trying to read the message on
her tablet.
No
one had questioned her in the communications center. The technician had simply
glanced at her identification then transferred the message to her device.
Unable to wait until she arrived in her room, Ava opened the email from 1Night
Stand and began to read the letter while in the elevator.
Dearest
Ava…
The
elevator slowed. She braced for the change in direction.
…I
trust the first leg of your journey went well. While you traveled through
space, I received an application from a man whom I believe would be an ideal
match for you. Since you already have the required inoculations and do not need
to go through the quarantine period before entering Elatia, I have arranged for
someone to meet you. His name is Jacobus. While he is not your date, he will prepare
you then escort you to the man you will spend the evening with.
Affectueusement,
Madame
Eve
So
soon? The
woman had found her a match already? A rush of giddiness filled her before
nerves pushed it aside. She wasn’t an impossible match. Then bile burned the
back of her throat. What had Madame Eve meant by prepare? She spun to
face her friend. “I can’t do this. I thought I could but I don’t even know this
guy.”
She
paced, the walls seeming to close in on her. “I wanted to find someone to spend
the rest of my life with. On Earth. But this is just going to be another
one-night stand. I fucked up. What am I supposed to do?”
Her
friend shrugged, an amused grin on her face. “You can spend the next couple of
days hiding in your room, wondering who you were set up with, and whether
things might have worked out, or you can get your ass moving, pack a bag to
meet Jacobus and then your date. If in your position, I’d be already gone.”
The
difference between her and Michelle…she couldn’t spend the night with someone
without feeling some sort of connection. Somehow, her friend could walk away
the next morning, ready to find another guy. Maybe she’d feel different if she
had guys falling at her feet due to her big bust on her curvy frame. In
comparison to her friend, Ava looked plain, resembling a girl in the early
stages of puberty. No one wanted to spend a lifetime with her. Every guy she’d
ever slept with proved so.
The
elevator opened. She stepped out, heading down the hall toward their room,
still trying to decide how to spend her layover. Contacting Madame Eve had been
a mistake. One-night stands didn’t agree with her heart. She pressed her thumb
to the scanner, waiting for the door to open. So much money spent…
She
sauntered inside, but stopped when Michelle darted in front of her.
“Quit
doubting yourself.” Her friend grabbed her arms, staring her down. “You’re
beautiful and deserve to be happy. If you don’t hurry up, I’ll knock you out
then find a luggage cart to carry you down to Jacobus myself.”
With
a deep breath, she nodded. She could do this. Might as well get my money’s
worth. “Okay, I’ll do it.”
Michelle
reached in her closet then tossed her a duffle bag. “Good. I’ll help you pack.”
