Gateway alien porn. I'm here for it. No tentacles though, so only gets a 4.

Review originally posted at BooksOfMyHeart.net.
This is the third book in the Alien Mates series by Cara Bristol. Alien Intention can be read as a stand-alone book, but I really enjoy the entire series, so I recommend to start with book one, Alien Mate.
This series takes place on the planet of Dakon. This planet was hit with by an asteroid that made Dakon a mostly frozen planet, with a short thaw season. The women were also hit by a virus on the asteroid that really hurt the number of females on the planet. Earth currently has more women than men. So Earth makes a deal with Dakon. Trade a valuable illuvian ore, that Earth is using for power, for women. The first group of women were convicts and forced to go. After that, it is on a volunteer basis.
So, in this story, we have Stormy and her son coming to Dakon. Stormy is the sister of Sunny, the heroine of Alien Attraction. Stormy was a reality star, just like her sister, but quit the show much sooner, because of her son. But, she is still somewhat famous and this causes strife between her and one of the other women that came to Dakon.
Romando was a large character in Alien Attraction. He was chosen to receive a mate, but lost his chit, which told him where he was to pick of the women who arrived. So, he proceeded to steal the mate of the man who used his chit. Now, he’s an outcast in his tribe. They feel that he disgraced the tribe. Things don’t get easier when he is forced to take woman who doesn’t like Stormy. This woman makes things really difficult for both him and Stormy.
The Alien Mate series continues to be a fun read. If you’re a fan of sci-fi romance or even paranormal romance, this is a series that I think you’ll enjoy. The characters are a lot of fun. The world is well developed. I don’t know if there will be more books in this series. I do know she’s working on a spinoff series, where the men come to Earth because they are tired to wait their turn. That could be interesting. I can’t wait.

Stormy and Sunny really were misnamed, each has the wrong temperament for their names LOL.
Stormy and her son has made it to their new home and she is drawn to a certain brooding giant...always the bad boy for Stormy it would seem. But as usual not all is as it seems. Sunny is trying to match-make, Stormy is facing jealousy and envy from a certain party and then there is Romando!
Romando had a valid beef after his chit was mislaid and misappropriated last time. But Sunny and her mate can only keep the whole "kidnap" thing in the front of their minds. Romando just deprived Sunny of her mate temporarily LOL. He has learned his lesson but it looks like fate is being a fickle female yet again!
Stormy just keeps trying to see the upside and not make waves. She wants a father for her son and if she can lust after her new mate, well all the better! I loves how she and Sunny are so totally opposite but have each others back, even when Sunny is trying to mother her!
Devon almost steals the show, bless him. Totally sweet and eager to please! Wondering what will happen next!

Ok this was funny. Romando was not my favorite. So glad he was redeemed. I really liked Stormy especially her temper. She was more my favorite type of heroine. Cute little Devon- I can see him with Starlett in some years. The tribes have got to learn that they are going to have to change some things. I like this world and I will keep reading more. I recommend this book. I gave it four stars because it was predictable, I knew it was coming but I still wanted to see what happened. I wish somethings were resolved (Polonio).

I absolutely adore this series! Each book is such a pleasure to read, with new alien culture controversy and romantic tension, and Cara Bristol makes the world seem more human with each book. This book centered around the "villain" of the previous book, so I thought it was interesting to read about his redemption. He wasn't such a bad guy that it was impossible, but I was certainly anticipating a rocky road ahead of him, which the author delivered. It was great to his side of the story after only seeing one side of things before.
After her son finally received his life-saving heart operation, Stormy Weathers is ready to find everlasting love through the Terra-Dakon Goodwill Exchange Program. With just a few personal belongings and her son along for the ride, Stormy is determined that she will find the right guy after having made several bad choices in men on Earth. Upon arrival, all the women are created by the 100 lucky Dakonian males who were chosen to receive a mate. Although her sister, Sunny, has the perfect male lined up, Stormy’s attention is captivated by only one Dakonian in the room – Romando. Of course, she doesn’t realize that the man of her dreams is the man of her sister’s nightmares, since he was the one who kidnapped Sunny last year. Both Stormy and Romando are instantly drawn to each other, but through the mate selection process, they each end up with other mates instead. Now they have to learn to survive without each other, or else Romando will cause yet another scandal that could lead to banishment this time.
The insta-lust these two experienced had me rooting for them from the very beginning! It was so cute how they had eyes only for each other, and although Stormy eventually learned of Romando’s history with her sister, she chose to understand the nature of what happened from an outsider perspective. Let’s be honest – Darq had stolen Romando’s chip that would have allowed Romando to have a mate, so although one wrong doesn’t make a right, I can understand why events played out the way they did. Romando was childish in his actions…but so was Darq. And Romando realized he was wrong and understood that what he did should never be repeated. His maturity showed itself well in this book, as he tried to not let temptation drive his actions. Thankfully, as this is a romance with a HEA, Stormy and Romando don’t stay apart for long. I liked how she stood by her man and didn’t let the other males boss her around. Standing up to her sister was also a win for her in my book! That took a lot of courage.
As always, I can’t wait to read the next book written by Cara Bristol! She has definitely made the alien subgenre a must for me in my reading list.

I did and didn't enjoy this. I don't know. I can't seem to make up my mind. I enjoy alien romance, it's pretty fun at times; when it's done right.
I think it had so much potential to be such a good read and it fell kind of flat. Not quite sure what the reasoning is but I could not connect to the hero and heroine. There was no character development and couldn't quite wrap my head around how quickly it all happened.
Since it was a free book I'm not going to go in-depth on it.
