About this item

The winter solstice is a time for friends, family, and festivities… and me driving out to my cabin in the woods to avoid it all, just like I do every year.

But when something trips my repair shop’s alarms, and the security feed shows my human receptionist half-dressed in the staff room, looking like she’s about to hunker down for the holidays all alone, my protective instincts has me turning the transport around against my better judgment.

I’ve craved Abby from afar, but she deserves so much better than a grumpy, washed-up ex-mercenary. Too bad the mate bond has other ideas, especially when the forecasted storm blows in early, snowing us in together.

Snowed in with my Alien Boss is a novella-length story set in the Tallean Mercenaries universe featuring a Grumpy/Sunshine couple, only one backseat, and keeping warm with body heat vibes.

This is the story of Abby, a human, and Grogen, an alien.

They have both had feelings for each other and the situation they find themselves in forces them to admit it. It’s a short sweet story you will enjoy.

Snowed in with my Alien Boss is part of the Tallean Mercenaries world featuring a grumpy boss and a sunny receptionist. Set during Christmas and winter solstice season the residents of Reka 5 blend the Earth and Tallean traditions. A time of family, festivities, and romance is the last place ex-mercenary Grogen wants to be so every year he closes his repair shop and heads to his cabin in the woods. Abby thrives living among the blended Tallean/human environment. She is looking forward to the festivities even if she has to attend alone. There is just one wrinkle in the plan that forces Abby to hunker down in the repair shop where she works. Breaking in is easy - unfortunately, it triggers the alarm sending the owner to investigate.

The story is novella length without the time to perform a deep-dive into the characters but the author does a good job. The reader sees past the gruff exterior to the warm and caring inside of Grogen. Abby is sweet and caring with enough spine to stand up or speak up for herself. Although part of a larger universe, I believe the reader would enjoy this novella without the background of the novels that precede it. This gets a "thumbs up" from this reviewer.

4.0 out of 5 stars Abby & Grogen: a satisfying novella
Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2024
I really liked this one! Although it was a novella – meaning short in size, it had it all! Despite the limited size there were a well-presented plot and characters, action, romance and…a lot of snow and Christmas/Winter solstice mixed festivities in the human-Tallean mixed colony Reka 5. I really liked Abby. She is strong, brave, determined and a fighter (literally and figuratively). Grogen is her boss. He appears grumpy, but he is a softy inside, and also strong and protective. They worked together for years, but he was always distant towards her, not interacting with her if not necessary. Abby was always attracted to him, but his place as her boss (something taboo in her (human) book, but not for the Tallean people) and his cold behavior made her keep her distance and keep her feelings to herself. But things are not what they seem. When she ensconces herself in her workplace after hearing her low-life of a father “selling” her to some people to pay his debts during the festivities, Grogen finds himself there. They spend the night there due to the heavy snowstorm and sparks fly. Grogen always felt that she could be his mate but was afraid to test the waters. What will happen now that they find themselves in such a close space? I really enjoyed their journey to their HEA. 4 stars.

“Grogen was the epitome of capable. And capable was the ultimate in sexy in her books.”

A new adventure on Reka 5 is always a swoon-worthy good time full of heart and steam! Plus you always can count on bloodlust behavior for extra fun and spice!! Abby is a human working for the past few years as a receptionist for Grogen’s shop. She is trying to enjoy the upcoming holiday when her deadbeat acting father tries to sell her to settle his debts. She has nowhere else to go with a storm approaching and makes it back to the shop. Grogren finds her and keeps her warm and safe. In the meanwhile, they explore the feelings they have denied about each other. Expect danger and plenty of action. Buckle up!!.

Abby has to find a safe place to hide out because her father plans to use her to clear his debts with a loan shark. The only place she can go is her work since it will be closed and empty over the holiday solstice. What she doesn’t know is that she sets off an alarm alerting her hot and grumpy Tallean boss to her situation.

Grogen is surprised to see his human receptionist has broken into his shop and looks to be in trouble. He may be a grumpy and tough ex-mercenary, but he has a soft spot where Abby is concerned.

This was a sweet and sexy holiday inspired read. Abby and Grogen were meant to be together and their journey was fun to read!

This being a novella, it was a short read, really cute though. Both Abby and Grogen have feelings for each other but for personal reasons, neither lets the other know until they are snowed in together with nothing to do but snuggle and...
After that, doubts creep in because Grogen passes on a planned date that they had but happens to show up just as trouble finds Abby.

This short but sweet Tallean Mates story follows up on a previous novella (Space Mercenary's Prize) but it is a stand alone so you don't have to worry if you missed it. From the previous books we knew that many of the Earth males that were taken as Dominion slaves were in jail and in this story brings out what some of these guys have been up to with their second chance at life, mainly making Abby's life hard. To escape her awful father she ends up snowed in with her grumpy boss Grogen and the rest is spicy hot holiday goodness.

Coworkers who have been secretly interested in each other finally get the impetus they need to make a move. There are characters from previous books who support the story. Recommend reading the series in order but it's not necessary.
