Third book in the series and I still love it. It still takes me 2 days to read each book, which is unusual for me, but there is just so much happening and I feel the need to savour it all.
Kitty and Jeff have announced their engagement but are lagging behind on the wedding prep. Trying too hard to make everything perfect. Different religions, 2 on Kitty's side & 1 big one on Jeff's side; different cultural traditions; planetary & Alpha Four monarchist interruptions, notwithstanding.

And this book, unfortunately, is where I draw a line under this series.
Don't get me wrong - it's still fun, but in the end, there were too many things that niggled me about the book to get into it and continue with the series.

Gini had me hooked when I was first introduced to Kitty Katt and Jeff Martini in Touched by an Alien, and the Alpha-Centaurion defenders of the Earth (along with a few notable Earthlings) still provide tons of entertainment and excitement.
This time around, the gang is facing the biggest threat they’ve ever encountered – Jeff’s family from Alpha Centauri. It turns out Jeff is next in line for the throne on his home world… and some people aren’t too thrilled about that.

Kitty is a top-notch exterminator of evil superbeings, and she's about to marry Jeff Martini, her superhuman fiance from Alpha Centauri, but there are complications. They discover some strange lights visiting abandoned places in Arizona, and the pattern of the lights matches the shape of Kitty's Unity Necklace--her special engagement symbol from Jeff. Turns out, the lights are a long-distance form of communication from Alpha Centauri, the place from which Jeff and most of his family were exiled.

Alien in the Family is full of surprises. Kitty and Jeff are planning their wedding when a brand new complication comes up. It seems that Jeff is descended from the Alpha Centaurion Royal Family and emissaries from the family are coming to Earth to test Kitty’s fitness to be a royal bride. Of course that is not all that shows up. Expect several new species of aliens, some friendly and some not. Kitty also gets a new alien pet, one that is fuzzy and cute and a new female best friend.

By this point in the series, you should have a pretty good idea of what will happen.
Kitty loves rock music. Kitty is oblivious to certain elements of her personal life. She and Jeff have sex at every opportunity (and in this book, I started to find the sex scenes a little too graphic and frequent for my tastes).
Jeff is jealous of everyone, especially the old friend that Kitty was oblivious to the fact he was in love with her, and even the gay friend.

Kitty is one really busy girl. Not only does she have to plan her wedding, she has to worry about some sort of testing to see if she's fit to be Jeff's bride, there's a race of alien Amazons who want to conquer this world, and yeah Jeff could be the next king of A-Cs.
This is my favourite in the series. More of the time was dedicated to Jeff and Kitty's relationship, and Kitty's various friendships.

I started this series because I was incredibly bored waiting for another series to come out and picked the first book up randomly at B&N. I have not been bored since, because any time I need a good laugh and some kick ass action, I have Ms. Koch's books to keep me company. I actually have two copies of everything, one in paperback and the other on my kindle and I do not regret spending the money (unlike previous buys).

Alien in the Family continues the story six months on from the ending of Alien Tango, Kitty and Martini's relationship is stronger than ever and they are in the middle of planning their wedding. Their only worry should be how to keep the fact that Martini's family are all aliens a secret from Kitty's family but their lives are never that simple. It turns out that Martini is in fact a member of the Alpha Centaurion Royal Family and they're about to have visitors who want to make sure Kitty is a

I finished this a little while ago but haven't had time to review it until now. Just busy life stuff. But here I am! And the Alien series continues to rocket forward full jet-propulsion ahead.
This book focused on the ramifications of Martini and Kitty's coming wedding, both for the ACs living on Earth and for their home system. Because, for some reason, the home system appears to be taking a much more active interest in it than they should be. In fact, it seems that some of them a More...

I so love this series! Alien in the Family is the third book and was just as good as the others. The humor was hilarious and the romance between Jeff Martini and Kitty was just as passionate. This time Jeff has to deal with Kitty's nerdy charming handsome best friend Chuckie. I really liked Chuckie but my heart will always go to Martini. Martini and Kitty are meant to be together and I love their moments they had in this book.

The good news is I can talk about lots of things in the book that won't be spoilers -- unless you haven't read Book 1, Touched by and Alien and Book 2, Alien Tango. So if you haven't read them.... umm sorry. The summary already tells you .... the good guy gets the girl and they're getting married :). So... on with the review.

Six months after accepting sexy alien Jeff Martini's marriage proposal, Kitty and the other Alpha-Centauris (A-C's) learn that a beacon has been triggered, alerting the A-C home world of the impending marriage. Why should it matter? Unknown to Jeff and his cousin, Christopher, they are the last direct male heirs to the ruling monarch on Alpha Centauri. That's right, Kitty's marrying royalty, and it looks like the home world is sending a delegation to discover whether Kitty is worthy.

I think I've had too many friends get raped to find rape jokes funny. Or maybe I just take things too seriously. Whatever, they bothered me.
Kitty's descent into Mary Sue territory and how she jerked around Jeff by continually prodding his jealousy button also bothered me (she comments at one point that she likes that he has potential stalker tendencies, but even though they're engaged, her wishy-washy commitment to him seemed kind of cruel? needy? in an unpleasant way).

Super-Being Exterminator Kitty Katt and the Alpha Centaurian she loves, Jeff Martini, should be finalizing their wedding plans. But that was before she discovers Jeff is in line to become Emperor back on his home world. Kitty knows she is everything a royal family wouldn't approve of, and is bracing herself for the worst. As it turns out, the royal family is just the beginning. Especially when extraterrestrial Amazonian terrorists are determined to start and end Kitty and Jeff's nuptial festivit

Before I commence with this review, let me say that I am a fan of this series and will probably buy the next book. As you know, I try not to buy anything and for me to say that I’m buying something really is important. Now that I have stated this, it’s time for Lynette to be a complete and total hypocrite by listing why ALIEN IN THE FAMILY drove me crazy. I apologize in advance and I know I’m going to piss off a lot of you, because my filter is off. I’m going to try to go through this review and

Another romp with Kitty Katt and Jeff Martini, super alien from Alpha Centurion. Aliens really are among us and they are gorgeous. Jeff and Kitty are trying to get married and facing invading aliens and too much pressure from both sides of the family. The A-C galaxy is sending envoys to "test" Kitty's fitness to be Jeff's wife and wouldn't you know it, he is the royal prince. Except he's in exile and doesn't want the honor and half the A-C galaxy is determined to keep them apart. Kitty

As always, Kitty's world is full of organized chaos, out-of-this-world battles, and some rockin' great tunes. In addition to all that, in this book we are off to Vegas! It was funny to see that all the women loved the idea of gambling while the men not so much.
