Daisy Kirkwood has only just
escaped her small-town life and run away to New York City, the land of
last-minute secret gigs at famous musical venues, when she’s kidnapped by
aliens. Unfortunately, no one ever writes about how to handle alien abduction
in those fancy NYC guidebooks.
Griffin and Dev are
supermassively sexy aliens from a politically and environmentally troubled
planet who arrive on Earth with very little knowledge about human ways other
than what they learned from a wayward E! News signal. Their mission is to
pretend to be the most influential people on the planet—English pop stars, of
course!—and gain the help of a powerful secret society. Upon arriving, they
abduct Daisy Kirkwood, a nerdy young woman who loves music but could seriously
use a bit of help in the love-life department. Though Griffin and Daisy
initially squabble, neither can deny the intergalactic sparks whenever they’re
too close to each other. Together, they must face murderous aliens, cultural
misunderstandings, bad backup musicians, and the dark side of fame and the
media, all set against a tight deadline…
Part High Fidelity, part Bridget
Jones’ Diary, part Doctor Who, Dating an Alien Pop Star is a sexy romantic
comedy.

Griffin raises a dark eyebrow.
“Are you afraid of me?”
“I didn’t
say I’m afraid!”
“But are
you?”
“No!”
“Good.”
He kicks off his shoes. “This will be a nice period of bonding for us, Wanda.”
“Why are
you here?” I demand, sitting on the edge of the bed and crossing my arms over
my chest. “You say you want to become the most powerful being on the planet
with your music and all of that, but why?”
“It’s
none of your business.”
“It’s my
planet, so it is my business. You’re not planning to brainwash all of us, and
then harvest our organs or something, are you? Keep our livers in jars in a
spaceship somewhere? Burn the planet and then plant your weird medicinal drugs
here?”
Griffin
stalks closer to me with every word, until he’s standing directly in front of
me, the glowing light in his eyes showing through the lenses. “And if I am, do
you think you’re going to stop me?”
A shudder
traces through me. I’m not sure if it’s because of his words or because he’s
standing so close. “I’ll have to stop you,” I say in a very brave tone. Okay,
actually, it’s not brave at all. More like a wheezy whisper. But Bjork or Kim
Gordon wouldn’t just bow down to an alien invasion without at least attempting
to protect their planet, and neither will I.
Before I
can fully process what’s happening, Griffin’s pinned me down, holding my wrists
against the bed under his hands. His body, though slight, feels substantial and
warm against mine—simultaneously threatening and a bit of a turn on. “You don’t
know me very well at all, do you, Wanda?” he whispers, and I want to correct
him about my name, but I find it hard to say anything at all. “I would never
come all the way to your planet just to enjoy the food and then destroy it. I’m
not cruel!”
“I don’t
know anything about you, other than your bad taste in clothes,” I say, but his
weight pressed against my pelvis has my body pulsing and warm all over. Bad,
bad, bad.
“Then
look into me, why don’t you? You could see anything you wanted, if you’d just
look. I’d let you.”
When I
shake my head, he releases me, climbing right over top of me to take his place
on the bed. I can feel the mattress shaking a bit, and I gather my wits enough
to sit up and glance at him. He’s maneuvered his way out of the rest of his
clothes, leaving only the underwear.
Thank
God. Especially since my close proximity reveals he’s not doing too bad in that
department. Even under a layer of fabric.
