Chloe archer has once again paired with Greg Bordeaux in this tentacles universe and I couldn't be happier. All I Want for Christmas is Tentacles is a feel good low angst hilarious tentacle holiday in space romance.
From the blurb:
Khephren: There’s no way in Helgar's Nebula I’m marrying the candidate my parents have chosen for me. I don’t want to be the house-husband of some stoic warrior who only cares about training all day. Boring! Thankfully, I’ve learned a thing or two from all those rom-com human movies I’ve illegally downloaded off the intergalactic web. No one will see it coming when I pull a runaway groom maneuver on them!
Once I make my escape, I can go on the solo honeymoon of my dreams—to planet Earth. It’s almost that wondrous time of year when they celebrate their holiday known as “Christmas.” Human Hallmark movies make it seem so magical. I want to experience it for myself! Now, I just need to find a human who can make my wish come true and help me have an authentic holly jolly time…
Sasha: Scrooge was right when he said “bah humbug” to Christmas. This time of year sucks balls, and not the fun kind. I’ve just lost my crappy part-time job and I’m slowly sinking under a sea of student loan debt and crushed dreams.
Just when I think my life couldn’t possibly get any worse, my cat and I are abducted by an alien who wants me to help him experience a "real human Christmas" on his ship. WTF? Clearly he’s chosen the worst possible candidate for the job.
But there’s something about Khephren’s enthusiasm and eternal optimism that starts to melt even my grumpy, cynical heart. Heck, I even agree to be his fake fiancé to get his parents off his back! I don’t know what’s happening to me, but Khephren’s charm is making me feel things I never have before. And those bright pink tentacles of his are strangely fascinating. I can’t help but wonder what all they can do…
As we spend more time together, I start to realize I might not want to go home and that maybe, just maybe, I’ve found what I’ve always been looking for. Could Khephren feel the same? If so, it would be a Christmas miracle and I don’t believe in those…right?
Molly Otto's review:
Greg Bordeaux was the perfect pairing with Chloe Archer to take this awesome story to life! He has made an already awesome story so much better with his narration skills! I can not begin to say enough how much I enjoyed this audiobook! Definitely, I must have listen for every year!
What can I really say but no one writes a holiday special quite like Chloe! Who makes an alien abduction be cute and tender? But here me are all Kheph wanted was the perfect Christmas he's seen on Hallmark holiday specials, and what better way to do it than abduct an elf from Earth? Yes, it's a wild ride of pure entertainment that you seriously can not put down from start to finish. And yes, the dang cat on the cover is a big part of story, who knew?
In normal Chloe brilliance, you get a new acronym that will have you snort out loud and wonder how these silly aliens do not think about these things? We get to visit old friends, and yes, they will make you smile and hope to have future visits from the Sleigh Belle crew.
