Summary

I’m human. He’s not.As the First Daughter of Planet Earth, it’s my duty to set an example. When we enter an agreement to re-build the planet, our prized offerings for bargaining are our young, eligible females... starting with me. It’s my place to lead by example and I’m only too eager. I can hardly wait to see what handsome, mysterious stranger has been matched for me. Who will sweep me off my feet?I never expected tentacles.* * *I bartered with her father for three years, wanting to see how far he'd go to sell his only daughter to me. After all, her species would consider me a monster. And yet, I'd have given everything for her. But he only asked for gold.The beaches of my home are covered in it.On a planet of beautiful, plentiful females repressed by their own males, who are really the monsters?* TRIGGER WARNINGS: I struggle with them because I don't normally write dark. And opinions as to violence vary across a wide spectrum. So let me see if I can put it bluntly. This is darker themed, but it depends on how sensitive you are as to the details. Most are glossed over, or are references. It's been compared to Handmaid's Tale, but I can't give a comparison as to the darkness level because I've never actually watched it. (Again, I avoid reading and writing darkness.) So while many of the reviews don't mention that this is dark, it could be that they're not as sensitive to the material. If you have triggers of any abuse, sexual or physical, religious triggers, or of violence or death, this may not be for you. All heroines get their happily-ever-after at the end of each book. When reviewers/bloggers talk about this book being sweet, they are referring to the love between people, not the actual story arc. This is NOT a light, fluffy read like Space Babies, or My Alien Baby. This story is more dramatic but personally, I wouldn't call it dark romance. And please, read the 10% sample Amazon provides.This book one of eight in the Matched Program Series.The gorgeous species called Britonians had left their planet with a dying sun. They reached an agreement with Earth to clean up our ruined planet with their modern technology in exchange for a new place to live. If it were up to women, we'd allow them to live just to look at them. The Brits are amazing, gold skin, tall and muscular, like avenging angels.When they hear that most of our men died in the third World War, leaving the sexes vastly mismatched, they offer to begin a Match Program with a distant planet in need of females. It will be completely professional, personality-matching, compatibility, and the possibility of procreation. Plus, the human females will have a guaranteed choice after six months: Remain with your alien mate, or come home to Earth.None of us expected the gorgeous alien species to introduce us to horrifying monsters.Other books in the series:Book 1 - Matched To The MonsterBook 2 - Matched To The Monster TooBook 3 - Wanted By The MonsterBook 4 - Wanting The MonsterBook 5 - My Monster, My ChoiceBook 6 - My Matched MonsterBook 7 - The Monster's BrideBook 8 - The Monster's Mate (coming soon) Read more
