Even a goddess can have a bad day...

Keira, warrior-queen of the galaxy, is as famous for her beauty as she is for avoiding marriage. But when an upstart little planet called Earth threatens her world with its fleet of spaceships, the fate of her people lies in her hands. She must bind herself to a barbarian from the rogue world--or face the destruction of her own!

She's what he never knew he always wanted--

Confirmed bachelor Jared Jasper knows that the trick Earth pulls on the alien invaders isn't a permanent solution. What they need is a peace treaty. It just never occurs to him that he will wind up on the bargaining table. Playing the pushover groom to a mouthy alien babe who knows how to use a plasma sword is not exactly his idea of fun. But with six billion people depending on him, he doesn't have much choice--sleep with the enemy...or bring on interstellar war.

Strange bedfellows? You bet. But this alliance may turn into a romance the likes of which this galaxy's never seen!

Good story about galaxy warrior queen Keira urged to marry earth barbarian Jared Jasper. Although I enjoyed storyline it seemed to overshadow the romance at times

My Favorite Earthling, by Susan Grant, is a stand-alone sequel to Your Planet or Mine? and an incredibly fun and fast-paced story.

In the wake of a near alien invasion, Jared Jasper finds himself in a strange predicament. In order to save Earth from an intergalactic incident, he must agree to an engagement with a beautiful, yet dangerous, alien queen.

Queen Keira has been avoiding suitors and making eunuchs of those who dare to force themselves on her. But when she's told that she must marry a barbarian human man, she decides it's best to ally her people with the strangely primitive world.

But there are those who won't stand for the union. When strange "accidents" result in murders, and near misses for Jared, he realizes that Queen Keira has at least one traitor in her midst.

Susan Grant's newest book is another exciting and witty installment in this new series. I love her characters and subtle humor. And her firm grasp in the science fiction genre only adds to the action and adventure. ( )

A pleasant enough story, but this isn't one of Grant's best. It's a light romp, and I assume it was always meant to be, so in that way it succeeds nicely.

Jared is a nice character, Keira is okay, but we never really get to know either of them all that well - and they don't even meet until half the book is over.

I really enjoyed myself while reading this - and it was perfect for the mood I've been in lately - so I don't want to sound like I'm completely knocking this book. It's a pleasant, light read and if that's what you're in the mood for, it'll be idea. If you're wanting more than that, look for something else. ( )

All the galaxy snookered by a poker bluff? If one is to believe Susan Grant, the Coalition is lucky to remain in power. And yet, they manage to assasinate their mortal enemies. Maybe they are the supreme power.

The love story is average at best - forced matrimony to seal a treaty, with lust at first site. And love does conquer all in the end. The happy ending was a little too convenient, but at least it was happy... ( )
