A sexy alien living incognito on Earth meets a sci-fi loving nerd who wants to rock his universe. What could possibly go wrong? Besides the unexpected tentacles and the accidental Mating Courtship Ritual, that is....
RIVER SULLIVAN
As a bona fide sci-fi nerd and total X-phile—the truth is out there—I’ve always believed in aliens. Duh. But I never thought I’d actually find them on Earth–let alone right here in Las Vegas! Now I’ve stumbled onto a big freakin’ secret and found my very own hot AF alien. I’m head over heels, but he’s being a total grump and holding back. How do I make him realize a geeky sunshine guy like me is just what he needs in his life? Did I mention he also has tentacles?!?! #HolyHentaiFantasyBatman #SwoonworthyAlien #SignMeUpSugar #MakeItSo #VivaLasVegas
KAI GENARO
The last thing I need in my life is a chatterbox twink who’s determined to woo me and could expose the secret existence of aliens on Earth to all humankind. Everything about him annoys me, including his stupidly attractive halo of golden curls and his bright green ‘come hither’ eyes. To make matters worse, he’s been recruited to work for the alien Alliance on Earth, and I’m assigned to keep him out of trouble. I don’t care how attractive he is. I don’t date humans! Except, my tentacles may have accidentally started the Mating Courtship Ritual with him…
It’s Not Unusual To Be Loved by an Alien (Tentacular Tales #1) is a (102,000 words) M/M sci-fi rom com featuring an adorkable twink with unexpected secrets and a slight obsession with extraterrestrials, the reluctant alien he wants to make his boo, tentacles with a mind of their own, zany extraterrestrial shenanigans in Sin City, and enough humor to fill an entire spaceship. This is the first book in the series. There is no cheating, and this book ends with a HFN. Never fear, the series guarantees readers an HEA by the end!

Loved this book, loved the characters and laughed my ass off. River Sullivan is gay, lost his parents when he was ten and lives with his uncle Benji. River is obsessed with anything extraterrestrial and is convinced that his new neighbor is an alien. Dragging his uncle in the middle of the night to follow, Tom Jones, yes that is his name, he has no idea what following him will lead to, but his life will never be the same. No normal human being can live in Las Vegas and never turn on the air-conditioning or show signs of sweating so it was a dead giveaway Tom couldn’t be human.
Yes, aliens exist and Tom Jones makes the mistake of leading River and Benji right to the Alien Alliance Outpost on Earth. Kai the eldest son of the Admiral overseeing the Alliance brings them into an interrogation room and proceeds to hypnotize Benji removing any memory of being at the Outpost. Unfortunately, the hypnosis does not work on River and when Kai reveals his tentacles residing in his stomach and then injects River, he is sure his memory has been erased, wrong.
River writes an ongoing sci-fi erotic space opera blog and this time his story reveals the real existence of aliens but the real aliens read his blog and once again bring him in for interrogation. His blog is erased only this time River finds himself a celebrity since it seems that throughout the galaxy aliens are obsessed with his blog including Kai. Kai finds himself totally attracted to the human who never shuts up and who prances around none stop.
River doesn’t hide his attraction for Kai and isn’t scared of the tentacles he has in his stomach and he is not one to keep quiet about his feelings, or his thoughts or anything else going on around him. He is a constant source of humor and I found it a joy. After all attempts at clearing River’s mind fail the next best thing is to hire him to work for them. Everyone is aware of his blog The Tentacular Tales of Captain Starblade, and he sees Kai as the hero of his story tentacles and all.
As a human River proves himself very helpful and he and Kai tiptoe around each other. River is determined to get Kai and Kai is determined to keep that from happening. In addition to everything that River gets involved with there is a mystery to solve, a narcotic is being given to aliens making them do crazy thing that can reveal their existence to the world.
Surprises, secrets, drugs, romance, sex and worth repeating, SURPRISES. As far as this reviewer is concerned River is the star of the book and I can’t wait for book two because I have no doubt, I will be in for a fun read.
