This hunky alien is a tall drink of water…
Addy Barnes has been living two lives. School-year Addy is all work and no play, fiercely determined to be the first doctor in a family of nurses. Summertime Addy is a party animal at the resort in the Catskills where she teaches swimming. Keeping her two lives separate has never been a problem… until this summer, when the mouthwatering Remington arrives to turn both her worlds upside down.

This female human is a breath of fresh air…

Remington arrives at Maxwell’s Resort with only one goal: Remain under the radar so that the staff and guests don’t suspect he’s an alien. But after the arid cliffs of his home planet, the rich greens and blues of the resort are too seductive to resist. And at the heart of it all is Addy Barnes with her aqua eyes and shimmering hair. The curvy co-ed is saturated with sunshine and the warm, welcoming water of the swimming pool. All Remington wants to do is soak her in.

The lovers quickly find themselves in deep water...

When outside forces threaten to close down life as they know it Remington must risk his life to save Addy’s. Will their summer love burn out? Or do they have what it takes to last the whole year round?

I was given a complimentary copy to read and review and this is my honest review.

This is the story of Remington and Addy and i can tell you there is a difference from all the previous stories we have read so far.

The story flows easily and it has a calmness and a sweetness that will make you smile and give you hope.

Both Remi and Addy are such lovely characters and they both struggle with their own issues yet you can see from the start that they are meant to be together.

No matter what comes their way the overcome it.

Tasha Black has given us another great book in the series and she once more shows us that her stories never disappoint.

A must must must must must read!!!

Holy Hot Aliens! "Remington" is another fantastic, fun & campy, sexy, romantic sci-fi must read from the Stargazer Alien Mail Order Brides world, with hunky aliens & strong, smexy women! ... Each book has a new storyline, many of our favorite recurring characters, and always witty dialogue! Plus, awesome descriptions & attention-to-detail will keep readers engaged & pages turning... I never recap blurbs, but I honestly loved this & all of Ms. Black's works, so I always volunteer to beta-read in advance. I have expressed my sincere feelings without any outside influence, plus I pre-ordered my own kindle book to keep with my favorites forever! ... I highly recommend this entertaining book & series & can't wait for more!

Well of the 3 brothers, Kitt got his mate, so his hot body is a permanent fixture and Honey plans on enjoying the view for a long time.

Now Remington may have a small problem as he is so serious and well alien, but he's got his sights set on Addy, the swimming instructor sparkles in the water and he wants to make a good impression, so she will accept to be his mate.

Addy is very set on becoming a Dr. and has no time for a long term relationship with any man, much less an alien that expects her to throw out babies. The only time she ever lets go and enjoys herself is in the summer when she works at Maxwell's Resort in the Catskills after that it is strictly school and studying. Problem is that the serious hunk Remington has got her rethinking her priorities, will she give in to them, or will she forego love to become a Dr. Time will tell.

Remington is a serious stickler, but I loved his ways.

Can't wait to read Indiana and Nikki's story, should be very interesting, a lot of secrets to discover?

This one was less frustrating than the previous one, although I still wish these people would learn to communicate with each other. I do NOT enjoy conflicts generated by lack of communication. It just makes me dislike the characters.

Ahh!!! I so love Remington!!! He is absolutely amazing! Sweet, kind, caring!! Everything a woman wants!! Addy being solely focused on going to med school thinks she can't make it work with Remington, but he thinks different. This book was absolutely amazing in the end they get their happily ever after! Though they all are going to have a lot of big issues to have to deal with, and I can't wait to read how it turns out!! I absolutely loved this book! And I absolutely love Tasha Black!!!

Remington: Stargazer Alien Mail Order Brides #5
Intergalactic Dating Agency
by Tasha Black
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is a AWESOME, funny and delightful read! I'm so glad that I had the opportunity to read it. I must say I would read any book written by Tasha Black immediately because I'm a died hard FAN and I have always enjoyed every book she has written. I have specially enjoyed reading the Stargazer Alien Mail Order Brides Intergalactic Dating Agency series! If your looking for a romance that's fun to lose yourself in for a few hours then I'd give this one a try. I must say the Sci-Fi/ Fantasy component in this books is very enjoyable and does play a big role in the story. That was not an issue for me, I actually enjoyed how it's woven into the story. This romance is one of my favorite and If you are looking for a fast-paced, romantic suspense, full of passion and heart, look no further you have found it. Remington is the 5th book in this series and it's Addy and Remington story. Addy Barnes is determined to be a doctor. She will be the first in her family.She studies and work hard at being a doctor, doing school she doesn't let anything stand in her way but when summer hits she lets her hair down and becomes a wild party girl. Remington and his brothers are Aliens and they moved to the resort to lay low and not to reveal that they are Aliens. The story is well written with awesome characters. I enjoy a story that keeps me captivated from the beginning and can hold my attention until the end. WOW it's such a heartwarming story that I didn't want to it end. I mean how can I not fall in love with a character that thinks you are embody with sunshine and saturated with its warmed and he welcomes the water in the swimming pool because all he wants to do is soak you in. Oh my is that not a beautiful saying! Tasha Black is so gifted and talented and yes this is a charming Sci-fi romance that has total devotion, sexy males along with a happy ending. Wow I stayed glued to my reader and I couldn't sleep until I finish reading this story. It's so amazing you will make sure you read to the end! THIS IS A AWESOME MUST READ I certainly recommend this book to readers that like to read a Phenomenal romance with a HEA and a interesting surprise. I voluntarily reviewed this book, because I love sharing my thoughts with my fellow readers.

I read faster than I can type! I put one down just to grab another. Addy wants to go to med school so she's trying to not get into anything serious like Honey. Remington is sure she's the one, she wants to be, but is sure that she won't have time for a regular life when she get's back to school. There is also the problem about saving Maxwell's. They come up with a plan about a fund raiser. They need a lot of money to buy out Mr. Travers, if he decides to pull his shares out of the resort. He was very angry when his son Wade was put in jail for stalking & arson. Some of Wade's friends are Addy's lifeguards and they quit on her. So Remington offers to help. She agrees with giving him some swimming lessons. This is where they discover his gift, he doesn't need to breath. He can stay underwater without coming up for air for long amounts of time. Addy gets him out of the water for fear of drowning, then tells him that he had better not let anyone see that or his cover will be blown. They all go on about planning the fund raiser to save the resort. Remington asks Addy to be her mate, but she has turned him down. As the summer goes on Remington helps throw a birthday party for Addy & continues to get to know her. She learns about his necklace, a stone, his only connection from his home planet. He has been offered a lot for it from a few people. They start to get closer even though she tells herself it is a bad idea. She finds out her mother is coming out to visit. Remington is confused, she will not be his chosen, but she will accept his touch. Then to make matters worse the men hear that there will not be enough money so that the girls plan to auction themselves off. Addy's mother has gone home & Addy is now working on another problem. If she cannot have Remington, she will find him a mate who will love him & help him along his way. She starts trying to think about suitable women to be the one for him. When the day of the fund raiser comes around, at the auction, Mr. Travers shows up to make a very high bid on Addy. Remington knows he is a bad person & can see Addy is a little uneasy. He finds the man who has been wanting to buy his necklace & makes a deal. He outbids Mr. Travers for a very high price. He thought that they had to marry the bidding on them. She tells him no. Someone runs in to say someone took a motorboat in the restricted area & got hung up in the gas line. They tell everyone to evacuate & dive in to look. Remington removes the anchor & blocks the gas leak. Addy swims up, asks for someone to call 911. It doesn't look like they have been called. So Honey sends Kitt, with his gift of time. He is there & back with help very quickly. She goes down to get Remington, because the firemen will have shut off the gas, they swim down with the clamps. They close the hole & he & Addy swim up. They go off together, talking. She tells him she would like to be his mate. He finds out she had been trying to find him a good mate earlier "even if it broke her heart". The next day, they find out someone had stayed behind & videotaped Remington's half hour swim with no air the night before. It is being sent out over media. Their boss comes up to tell them that since they have saved his home twice yesterday, they would all help keep the men safe. Their covers would not be blown. They are all very happy to know that they will be safe for a while longer.

The Stargazer Alien Mail Order Brides keep up the thrills and the twists!
Remington, the second of the intertwined trio set in the Catskills—following the intertwined trio set in Stargazer—is more loosely connected to the rest of this series and is also a part of the even larger, multi-author Intergalactic Dating Agency series and continues to focus on Remington and his brothers Kitt and Indiana along with Kitt’s bride Honey and her friends Addy and Nikki.
And Remington is utterly enchanted with Addy at every turn, at every new facet he learns about the woman he hopes will be his bride. But Addy is currently living her life in two parts, and believes she doesn’t have the time or a place for a romantic relationship while she’s still working towards her dream of being a doctor. A mate who wants a family right away would only throw a wrench in her careful plan for her life.
But Remington isn’t so sure that room can’t be made if they’re both committed to making it work. And he finds the opportunity to spend more time with the one he’s chosen as his bride when the ripple-effect of Wade Travers’ attack on Honey and Kitt leaves her short on lifeguards. With Remington turning out to be a natural in the water and Addy living and breathing her time at the pool in summer much the same way she does her studies at school the rest of the year, it’s a perfect fit. Remington finds the way Addy throws herself wholeheartedly into whatever she’s committed herself to captivating, and also follows her lead in her plans for the fundraiser to save the resort now that Wade’s father has made his intentions to ruin the resort for not sweeping his son’s misdeeds under the rug clear.
The Travers men continue to be a problem for the resort and the group, to the point that Remington realizes he has to show Addy that he can go all-in as well as she can, and that he’ll fight as fiercely for her as she does for what she wants and believes is right.
I LOVE this series. It’s every bit as addictive as all the other series’ of Tasha’s that I’ve gotten my hands on thus far, and I’m eager to see how this mini-trilogy in the series wraps up with Indiana and Nikki’s story as well as to see what’s in store for the next trio of brothers from Aerie! Each one of these is ridiculously hard to put down, and because of the way the trios of brothers are so close knit, their stories intertwined, it’s nearly as hard not to binge right through each mini-trilogy once you get started! Highly recommend to fans of Tasha’s work, especially the other alien romances she has in her repertoire, and to those new to her work, I do recommend at least starting with Kitt for the best experience of Remington and Indiana’s stories.

Remington came across as very serious in the previous book when he was introduced. His love interest is Addy, the pre-med student/swim teacher who is normally a serious student when she isn’t spending her summers partying it up in the Catskills. As this is Addy’s book, it’s unsurprising that most of the plot either focuses on the pool or the fundraiser on the lake.

This book picks up significantly around the 50% mark, reflecting character growth for both characters. Remington is pretty introverted, so it was hard to get a feel for him as a person when he spends so much time alone in the first half. As a reader, you don’t really get to know him until Addy starts making more of an effort to get to know him. Once this happens, the book really comes together.

My only (minor) criticism would be that I felt there was a slight inconsistency in Remington’s character. Remington consistently blows off women who objectify him...yet he never has this reaction to Addy...who seems to objectify him constantly? Her commentary in the first half focuses heavily on his Chris Hemsworth-esque body. Maybe I missed something? Thankfully, when Addy starts to appreciate his personality, it becomes clear that they are really compatible and have a lot of chemistry. So all’s well that ends well, I guess?

The book is really well-written, the characters and their interactions are fantastic, and the romance is really cute. I think this one was my favorite in the series so far because I really liked how much you can see Addy grow and develop over the course of the book.

Book two in the second set of Stargazer series is about Addie and Remington. Both are loveable characters. Addie is a studious college student working to become a doctor—in the school year. However, the summer is time to let loose and have fun before she commits again. With her commitment to school she certainly can't commit to a hunky alien—no matter how sexy he is and how much she wants him. Remington is a sweetheart. He knows Addie is the mate he wants and needs, but he cares too much to try to force her. Their series of selflessness and battles to give their love what the other needs is sweet and sad all in one.

A crisis that began at the end of book one leads the couples to set up a way to make money. The deal includes something that makes all the guys ticked off. Will it change their feelings? Will they be able to get past it? Some sacrifices have to be made. What will the cost be? Love? Becoming human for good? Giving up a part of who there are? There is plenty of steam, emotions of all kinds, friendship, and danger. Another good read from Ms. Black. I'm ready to see how they solved their new problem.

Another great alien romance! Remington is at the resort with his brothers, one who's already found his mate, and he knows he wants Addy but will she accept him. Addy is all about having fun during the summer because once it's over it's back to school and hitting the books, no time for fun then. She's attracted to Remington but doesn't think she can have love in her life until after she's a doctor. Add in a major shareholder in the resort is threatening to pull his money she's got a lot to worry about. Addy, Remington and the others come up a plan to raise money to keep the resort open and meanwhile Addy has to keep remembering why she doesn't have time for love because it's getting harder to resist Remington.

Aliens looking for love. What a great series that puts a smile on your face with each story. The aliens are trying to stay under the radar, can't have anyone figuring out what they are because then it'll be a madhouse, and the Earth girls are trying, well sorta, to resist them. But when the guys pick you might as well give in even though it's fun watching them come together. Definite must read series, they don't disappoint! I received a copy under no obligiation.

5.0 out of 5 starsAlien Remington in Swim Trunks, Need I Say More

ByWerecat 2on July 6, 2018

Format: Kindle Edition

Addy had her life all planned. Work on her studies during the school year. She was going to become a doctor. Spend the summer at Maxwell's Resort being the head swim instructor and being as carefree as she wants to be.
Remington is an Alien come to earth to find a mate and become human. He works as a waiter at the restaurant along with his two hunk, a hunk of burning love brothers. He also enjoyed his work.
Remington decided Addy would be his, but Addy told him she had no room for a relationship. This book is full of all different ways Remington tried to get her to change her mind. Also it is full of her helping him get along in the current time line and not be discovered as an Alien.
I received this ARC book for a true and honest review.

I really enjoyed reading Remington by Tasha Black. The action was constant and the characters are relatable. Some scenes were touching to me, especially when Addy's mom gave her her birthday present, that one choked me up.
This book is from the Stargazer series. It fits really well with its overall picture. If you love hunky aliens, characters that go on a limb while juggling their daily life while trying to find a solution to how to deal with the unexpected, you will love this series. Of course, there are up's and down's in this series, just like in real life, which makes this series even more interesting.
So if you want a story that could be part of everyday life, without being part of everyday life, I strongly recommend this series and all of its books to you.

Addy is a dedicated student during the school year but the summers are meant for letting loose and enjoying herself. Addy works as a swim instructor at a family resort during the summer and spends time with her friends. Remington is one of three alien males that have been sent to the resort to find mates. There is a spark between Addy and Remington, but Addy is aware Remington is looking for a mate and she does not have time for a mate. Addy is going back to school to be a doctor, it has been her dream and she will not let go of her dream. The resort is threatened and Addy will do whatever is needed to save her summer home away from home with the help of Remington. Love the characters, and the story line. This is an amazing read.

What a great read! Remington, helpful alien hottie from planet Aerie, is hiding out at a Catskills resort, where swim coach Addy spends summers off from her rigorous pre-med college program. He thinks she's the one he'll click with, his mate for life who will make him permanently human. She thinks love and med school won't mix. This is a sweet and spicy summer romance novel, with lots of ups and downs to keep the readers guessing how things will end up. Grab your Kindle, your flip-flops and your beach towel, and enjoy this fun read from Tasha Black's Stargazer Alien Mail Order Brides series.

Addy wanted to go medical school to become a doctor and nothing can stand in that way. She has seen how her friend has fallen head over heels for her hot alien hunk and doesn't want to be the next to fall only her body doesn't get the message and has other plans.
Remington came to earth to live a human life. Find love, marry and have kids. He also has picked Addy
This story has lots of drama, clueless hunky aliens and lot's of fun. The characters are great, science fiction fans should love this romance
Voluntarily reviewed a copy and I honestly loved it.

Remington is cool, calm & collective, he is a tad stubborn so he basically shows Addy...here I am baby come and take me, lol. Addy is focused on her medical degree & tries so hard to resist the click. His gift blends well with her summer profession which makes her fight a losing battle. The aliens brothers are blending in but I can already see the tides turning again so let the drama begin....maybe MacGyver will show again to save the day.

Remington is a fish out of water. Addy tends to be nose to grindstone except for summer when its time to let loose. This is a stand-alone book, but makes more sense when read in order of the other books. Posey sends the boys to hide out. Although, her motivations are to find HEAs for them. Complications arise through not fault of theirs. Addy comes up with the plan to fix it. Remington comes to the realization something’s are more important.

In the setting of a summer camp for all ages, Remington finds his lady and so many surprises. So many unpredicted twists with strong ladies and strong (alien) men. Family, warmth, fun (fun, fun) story. Romance. A standalone but so much better when read in order (especially with Kitt's and Indiana's stories - brothers in their quest). Bravo!!

Remington is the second of 3 brothers who are aliens who have transformed into human bodies to meet and mate with human women. The brothers have gotten jobs at a Catskill Resort to meet some. Addy is a pre-med student working as a swim instructor for the summer. She is determined not to get drawn in by Remington because of her fear of being sidetracked from her career plans. This plot had more substance than the first couple. A bit of drama, a bit of sex and a very kind hearted hero.

A real fundraiser

This place is so retro, a family friendly resort, that is now threatened with financial ruin. The girls have an idea how to raise money and the guys are on board to help. Our hero has found his mate but she is too afraid to commit. Our hero chooses to stand by her anyway and puts his secret on the line to save the place.

Another great addition to this series. Remington has chosen Addy as his mate but Addy has other ideas initially. She is going to college to become a doctor and feels Remington will stop her from reaching her goals. Her attraction to Remington is over the top. Eventually they overcome all obstacles and get their happily ever after.

This book continues where Kitt left off, so read that one first. I enjoyed Remington and Addy's story. He has a unique superpower that will save the resort and get them into a little bit of trouble leading into the next book. I am off to read the next book - Indiana. (Just you just love these names?)

Enjoyable and entertaining

You like to think you know how it will end. But there are more then enough twists and turns so you never get to ask "are we there yet?"; it's more like "when did we arrive?"

Keeps you reading and then looking forward to the next edition.

This story had me engaged on every turn of the character’s interactions with each other. I could see Remington stomping through the woods. I could feel Addy’s pain. Truly worth the read.
