A grumpy alien. A chatty, sunny human. For some insane reason, he wants her to look at him and see her mate.

Bash

I dislike people. I despise humans. A cruel mandate from one of my region's rulers has saddled me with a slew of little alien humans: I'm to put them to work.

One problem? I run a rock quarry, where humans’ thin skin is a detriment to productivity. Overseeing these humans is like trying to herd yanaks. If I don't burn, beat, or strangle them to death by the day's end, it will be a miracle.

Isla

I can tell the boss likes me, because I'm not dead. Bash is abrasive and acerbic, like some sort of alien love child between Michael Caine and Miss Hannigan. And maybe Ebenezer Scrooge. Bash is a little…anti-human race. But he’s not all bad. Sure, he's a little growly and he sets things on fire when he gets mad, but even villains need friends. And here? Bash is everybody's villain. Everybody’s but mine.

This is not the usual romance science fiction book. The hero is a very very grumpy one and he is no warrior. Just a quarry master. So in this book, do not expect big fights, nor grand intergalactic scheme. No, just the story of a normal guy who works in a quarry where human females work to support the building of there future homes. The hero does not like human females and is not shy to express it. The way he describes his feelings is hilarious. The female character is very strong despite her handicap and is not afraid of the quarry master. Her very joyful and enthusiastic view of the world is what will attract him. She is strong and very funny. The dialogues are also very humorous ! So I really recommend this book and will also buy the next volumes.

Finally, I would also like to give 5 stars to the speaker. He is excellent. His voice is low and growly and also very sexy!

Enjoy this unexpected nugget!

Unexpected and lot of fun nugget!
