Can't Help Falling in Love with an Alien

Tentacular Tales, Book 2

By: Chloe Archer

Narrated by: Greg Boudreaux

A grumpy-sexy alien and his (mostly) human sunshiny mate find the road to happily ever after is paved with challenges, including a troublesome ex, alien refugees in need of help, unexpected mating instincts, and someone trying to expose alien existence on Earth. Tentacles and tarnation! Will they be able to handle everything in their way and finally get engaged?

River

Working for the Alliance is a sci-fi nerd’s dream–aka mine–come true. I’ve even won the heart of my grumpy-sexy alien boyfriend. Nothing can bring me down, baby. I’m walking on freaking sunshine! Except now one of Kai’s douchey AF exes decides to turn up like a bad case of crabs that he can’t get rid of. I don’t trust him one bit. But I’ve got even bigger problems to worry about. Like helping some awesome aliens in trouble, and maybe moving in with Kai, who’s totally going to propose any day now—right? Oh, and my shady relatives might be hiring an assassin to take me out. So, you know, a day in the life of River Sullivan. I’m sure everything’s going to be fine. Won’t it?

Kai

Just when we think we have a new lead on the drug dealer targeting extraterrestrials on Earth, we run into a major roadblock. And the longer this mess of an investigation drags on without answers, the less I like it. Outside of work though, things are going amazingly well with my adorable mate–dear galactic gods, how did that happen? But with an ex back in my life wanting to be friends again, and the threat of a potential assassin looming, things are getting a little complicated. I love River with both my hearts—and all five tentacles—but even I’m worried I might not be able to protect him from the dangers ahead. Also, I need to figure out how the heck I’m going to propose to him. River deserves something “epic,” and I don’t want to let him down. Am I going to be able to deliver?

Can’t Help Falling in Love with an Alien (Tentacular Tales #2) is a (116,000 words) M/M sci-fi rom com and the second book in the series. It should be listened to in chronological order. This installment features a pajama party date that will go down in infamy, inappropriate team t-shirts, a half-baked love poem, more Captain Starblade and Lord Vardox, drunken shenanigans courtesy of spaceship moonshine, unexpected mating instincts, plenty of new aliens with problems for River to solve, and tentacles galore. And possibly an epic proposal? This book has an HFN ending and no cheating. Never fear—there is a guaranteed HEA by the end of the series!

Amazing again

Yesss! Book two is just as amazing, funny and spicy as the first and also Greg once again did a fabulous job narrating! Can’t wait for book three to be on audio.

Highly recommend!

This is series is f*cking hilarious. This is the second installment in the Tentactular Tales series by Chloe Archer, and I listened to the audiobook narrated by Greg Boudreaux.

River helps relax Kai deep nature. Kai is usually very set on work and work duties alone having had an issue in his younger years with a human not being so kind to his alien side; however, River changes all that. River and Kai have entered a relationship from the end of the book one; however, it is put to the test with the resurgence of ex-relationship from Kai’s past. Kai’s ex tend to mess with his head a little too much, making him second guess himself when it comes to River.

We get to see a little more of the side characters with this second installment. Evan, River’s best friend, sets his sights on a new arrival to Earth. And then there’s Mel, Kai’s brother. He’ll open up about his feelings eventually. Then there’s Benji, River’s brother, the high artist, who drives Mel crazy without even trying… or knowing. (Lol!)

Most of my Greg Boudreaux listens are more of the serious listen so beginning this series was a bit different. I wasn’t expecting to enjoy him in such a relaxed role as a did. This is a top ten, everyone should listen if you want a good hearted laugh.

10/10 recommend this series! I hardly listen to comedies, I’m more of a serious tone reader so it’s rare to find a romantic comedy that I want more of. I count the number of authors on one hand and Chloe Archer is included in that number. Highly recommend!

Sweet and funny

Not sure how I’ll be able to wait for the next one to be honest. As much as I love the audiobooks, I might have to get the next one as an ebook just so I can have another serotonin boost.

More Tentacle Fun!

This will not be for everyone but if you loved the first one, you will love this too. If you like Sci-fi Romance with aliens and tentacle smexy times with a real plot and lots of humor then this series is for you. But don’t start with this one, start with the first.
My only issue and I’m hesitant to call it that, is River’s exuberance. I love his character and he’s very funny but there are times where it’s just inappropriate and his not being able to reign it in during certain situations or venues sometimes makes him come off more as immature rather than sassy.
I love the Tentacular Tales book within a book and hope for that cheesy serial novella one day.
The Narrator is great and handles the multiple characters well.

Another great story for River and Kai

I’ll admit I was hoping book two would be about uncle Benji, But a continuation of River and Kai’s story was great too.

Here we get more love story for our favorite nerdy human and his dreamy alien boyfriend. We learn more about Kai’s culture. And the drama continues with the conspiracies A.N.A.L. is fighting.

We also learn that Kai is a bit stupid and River has brilliant ideas to help aliens acclimate better to earth with Operation Rehoming Aliens Lovingly (O.R.A.L.) ha!

I listened to this book on Audible. Greg Bordeaux did a fantastic job as narrator.

SUper fun with great narration

This is a series that must be read in order because a lot of the 2nd book builds off of the events and people in the 1st book.

I have read this book in digital format and listened to it on audio. The audio is fantastic! The narrator does a great job bringing the world and characters to life. The way he narrates brings the humor out even more and makes this a great and super fun listen!

The 2nd full book in the series starts off with a bunch of fun and laughs. It is funny and quirky and has a lof of unique aspects that are highly entertaining.. Kai and River are a cute couple. They are so sweet and cute as a couple and I look forward to seeing this relationship evolve. on that note, there are a few other relationships I would also love to see form and evolve, not to mention a couple back stories. The pop culture refrences are fun though some might feel questionable to a lot of people. "Can't Help Falling in Love with and Alien," is a much steamier book compared to the 1st and the appendages are much more involved. I can't wait for the next book and hope for more answers to the mystery arcs that the series has so far.

Brilliant Story & Listen🎧Hilarious & Entertaining!

Wow, you definitely can’t help falling in love with this series and the amazing characters! Chloe Archer delivers another spectacular and laugh out loud “Tentacular Tales” novel. This book is a continuation of River and Kai’s story and picks up where the first one, “It’s Not Unusual To Be Loved by an Alien”, left off, not only is it a not to be missed story and just as amazing as this book, but to get the most out of the world building, character growth and the ongoing storyline you want to read or listen to that book first. River and Kai quickly became some of my favorite characters and the secondary characters are close seconds and several of them will be getting they own books so I am excited about that. Archer created something very special when she created this series and the world it is set it, the characters and storylines are fascinating and the dialogue is absolutely brilliant. I am loving the in the moment scenes between the two leads as well as the ongoing storylines that are run through out the series. The writing, plotting and world building is phenomenal, as is the character growth and development. The story is entertaining and has the perfect balance of drama, humor and wit, heartfelt emotions, and some steamy romance, tentacles and all. Chloe Archer, thank you for another fabulously hilarious story, I am looking forward to what comes next in your “Tentacular Tales”.

🎧 📚🎧   I listened to the audiobook edition, Greg Boudreaux, whose talent knows no bounds, delivers an exceptional and “out of this world” performance bringing these characters and story to life. As always, his character voices are perfection, each voice is fitting to that character’ persona, and I loved how he took each role, ran with it and made it his own. You could hear how much heart and emotion that he puts into his work as he captures all the characters’ emotions and has you feeling every single one. He handles the witty dialogue with ease and lands the humor effortlessly. Boudreaux is an entertaining storyteller and a versatile voice artist. His narration enhances this already brilliant story to another level. Thank you for another outstanding listen, it is always a pleasure to listen to your audios. 

Amazing storyline

I have been waiting for this second book and it been worth the wait. I lost sleep listening to the audio. The narrator is the best. I have fallen in love with Greg B. Please keep him for series. Can’t wait for Book 3, wonder who up next the Uncle or bestie 🫣.

Worth the Read

This series is so well-written and beautifully narrated. It is beyond addictive to listen to. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
