Becoming Mrs. Claws : A Sci Fi Alien Holiday Romance (Tallean Mercenaries) Kindle Edition

4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 732 ratings

The weather outside is frightful…and so are his claws!

Christmas is coming to Reka 5—well, it’s the winter solstice, but we’re calling it Christmas–and my job is to bring back the perfect Christmas trees. No problem, right? Until I meet my partner in crime. Tradgek is everything I’m terrified of. He’s a massive beast of an alien warrior with sharp fangs and the biggest claws I’ve ever seen.

I freeze like one of those little goats the first time I meet him. How embarrassing! But my body reacts with more than just fear, and I’m left wondering if it’s true what they say about guys with big claws.

This is a novella-length sci-fi alien romance set in the Tallean Mercenaries universe. This story takes place chronologically after Tallean Mercenaries Book 5, but is a complete story and can be read as a standalone. HEA guaranteed.

    That will warm you from the top of your head to the tips of you claws, oops I mean toes. 😘 I love Christmas, I love alien romance put both together and it's a little slice of heaven for me anyway ! Tradgek, is a huge Tallean male with huge muscles and huge claws as well as a huge heart to go with the total package. When he sees Chelsea for the first time in the greenhouse working he know she's the one for him. The only problem is the total fear he can smell on her when he gets to close. He has made it his mission to show his female that he will be her protector and her lover and only pleasure not fear will she find in his arms. Chelsea , was kidnapped from her college campus and was on her way to being sold into slavery by the Dominion. They were huge scary a!Jens that abused their victims and were not afraid to use their fangs or claws.She was lucky enough to be rescued before the life of a slave was thrust upon her. She landed on Reka5 and she's been learning to be a part of her new home. When she looks up when day to see a massive Tallean male standing over her, her fear kicks Into overdrive. She's sure she'll never see him again after freaking out on him. Little does she know that her massive male is making it his mission to surround her with safety and passion. And of course Christmas magic works wonders as well. There is just something about Christmas that makes all things seem possible especially love.. This is the perfect little tale tat combines a bit of dangerous action , holiday festivities and Christmas inspired passion and love. Totally worth the read. It makes me really with I had an alien mate of my own for Christmas💘💘💘💘💘 highly recommend 💖💖💖💖

    This is a sweet, short read with a shy, frightened human young woman and a tender hearted Tallean male. They find their holiday HEA with the help of some match making friends.

    Written for mature readers only (18+ years old) due to subject matter that may be a trigger or offensive to some including adult language, steamy intimate scenes and violence such as kidnapping / abduction, harassment, fighting with some to the death, etc.

    This novella is set up between stories 5 and 6 of the Tallean Mercenaries series. Due to reoccurring characters and an overarching story line, I highly recommend these be read in series order for maximum reader satisfaction.

    Chelsea was abducted from her college campus on earth. She has been afraid of the Talleans ever since. After being rescued and arriving on Reka 5, she has worked in the greenhouses. A couple of days before the Winter Solstice, one of the largest Talleans she has ever seen comes in carrying equipment parts. She tries to hide behind her friend and co-worker.

    Tragdek is a protector. He helps out with lifting the heavy items in the greenhouses and monitors / guards the fencing perimeter. He is bringing some parts into one of the greenhouses and smells the most amazing smell. He quickly realizes that it is coming from the beautiful female ... and she is scared silly of him.

    Chelsea was forever glad she had been saved before she'd been sold after being stolen from her college campus on Earth. But she still has a paralyzing fear of the Tallean males, especially the guard who worked around the greenhouses, Tradgek. He was huge, even for a Tallean, but calm and kind. When they were assigned to gather trees for the celebration decorations she was too scared to even speak to him. Then the dog sized animals attacked, and he killed all six with his bare hands and feet! That was kind of hot, but they loaded the trees and headed back inside the perimeter fence just as the worst of the storm hit, a whiteout snowstorm. Will they be safe? Will this huge male continue to protect her? Does she want him to? Spend a mixed Talleanean Solstice and human Christmas celebration with Chelsea and Tradgek and see how their story turns out.

    Kidnapped from her college campus, loaded onto a slave ship, rescued by mercenaries, deposited on an alien planet populated with humans and aliens, Chelsea is not looking forward to her first Christmas away from home and is overcome by memories of Christmases past. She is also terrified of the massive and dangerous-looking alien males who guard the settlement. However, Tragdek, one of the alien guards, has settled on Chelsea as his mate. All he has to do is (get her to overcome her fear of him), (b) find a way for her to accept him as her mate, and (c) give her a Christmas to remember.

    Paired together to gather the local equivalent of Christmas trees, Tragdek rescues Chelsea from attacking predators, saves her from a blizzard, defends her from alien-hating humans, and helps her decorate the settlement.

    Plenty of action, danger, romance, and heat should satisfy the most discerning alien-bride-trope fanatic. Ms. Lee has done it again!

    Love all these Tallean Mercenaries stories. Have read most everything written by this author and really enjoyed these. The female characters are NOT immature, self-centered, whiny and ridiculous. I have been hoping for a story for the unscrupulous, disrespectful, cruel Dominion Captain Ulrech who is now part of Kean’s operation. Would love to see him fall like a ton of bricks for a human female (because of his previous questionable treatment of them). If you like Alien romance with some adventure/action these are good reads.
