Wonderful story

Lara, the highly regarded healer from Nerak, comes to Earth to find a medicine for one of the Nerakian Elders, who is ill from an earthling sickness. When she visits her sister Kia, she mets the cop, Sam Jones. He is on his way to a much needed vacation or so he thought, because Lara decides to join him. He can help her with her search for the plant. Everything would be perfect if her stubbornness and her opinion that Nerakians are the superior beings wouldn't drive Sam crazy. Ms. Kelley is a very gifted author, who knows how to combine hot spicy elements with her unique kind of humor and the result is a story like no other you have ever read before. We've already met Sam, the hero, in COSMIC SEX, where he was already an intriguing secondary character, but now in his own story, he is absolutely to die for. Lara's uppity and how she treats Sam will sometimes make you want to wring her neck, but in the end she makes it up with her funny way of discovering the delights of the life on earth, like chocolate or sex. The book gives the reader a first real view of the life on Nerak and introduces new characters, which I guess will play an important role in the upcoming books of the Planet Nerak series. Ms. Kelley really knows how to keep her readers more curious about how the series continues. THE BAD BOYS GUIDE TO THE GALAXY is the third book in Karen Kelley's alien series. The book can be read as a stand-alone, but I can tell you that you will pick up the first two books if you haven't read them. The books are addictive. So if you are looking for a funny and sexy book to brighten up your day, THE BAD BOYS GUIDE TO THE GALAXY is the perfect book for you. Courtesy of Loveromances and More!

The Bad Boys Guide to the Galaxy

Sam Jones is a police officer. His best friend Nick is his partner. Nick's fiancée Kia is an alien from the planet Nerak. When Sam stops by Nick's apartment before leaving on vacation, Kia's sister Lara arrives by spaceship. Lara is a healer on Nerak. She has come to Earth to find a plant that will cure an Elder on Nerak who has become ill. Sam reluctantly takes the high and mighty Lara to his cabin in the country to find the right plant. Lara is beautiful and sexy but she's also uppity and stubborn, and she drives Sam crazy. Lara learns many things during her stay on Earth, including how good sex is and how deliciously addicting chocolate can be! She's going to miss them when she has to return to Nerak. She's going to miss Sam most of all though. Lara can't stay on Earth, and Sam can't go to Nerak. Now that she's learned about love, will Lara be able to say goodbye? Karen Kelly pens a story full of laughs and hot sex with The Bad Boys Guide to the Galaxy. It's just as good as the previous books in this series, Cosmic Sex and Close Encounters of the Sexy Kind. Lara's sexual and culinary education is both entertaining and hot. Sam is noble. But what's a guy to do when a gorgeous and sexy naked woman demands sex from him? Give it to her of course! There is a lot of chemistry between Lara and Sam. It's not just fun between the sheets. Their strong connection goes beyond sex. The Bad Boys Guide to the Galaxy is an out-of-this-world, fun, and sexy romp! Nannette Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed

humorous science fiction romance

Texas police officer Sam Jones sort of knows what to expect from a Nerakian so he wants to say no, but he reluctantly agrees to escort Lara to his cabin. In spite of his expectations, Sam is stunned by his reaction to Lara and her nakedness. Lara has come to Earth on a mercy mission; she seeks the cure for a beloved sick elder; her planet is unused to illness having none. Before arriving on earth she was aware of the temptations, she vowed to ignore all especially chocolate. However, she is unprepared for spending a weekend with Sam especially since she believes Nerakians are superior beings. The latest Nerakian ET invasion is like its predecessors (see CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF A SEXY KIND) a humorous science fiction romance. The zany story line is fun to follow as the earth cop and the "medical" alien are unable to adhere to their personal pledges due to the magnetic attraction of opposites being stronger than the greatest force in the universe: chocolate. Fans of the series will especially enjoy this fine entry as Karen Kelley provides insider information re planet Nerak. Harriet Klausner

Hot, Spicy, Humor

This is Karen's third book in her Alien series, but it also can be read as a stand alone. Although if you have not read any in this series you have missed a real treat. Karen has given the reader a hot, fantastic read, but with her trademark humor shining through. Sam Jones, a cop, was headed for a well deserved holiday with nothing but rest and relaxation, at his cabin in East Texas or so he thought. The best laid plans can go astray as he is about to find out when he stops at his partner's apartment first. Lara, a healer from the planet Nerak and a sister to Kia, Sam's partner Nick's wife lands on the roof of the apartment block in her craft. This alien had come to do research for plants that would heal one of the Elder's. Plants that could not be found in the City, but Sam was headed for the country so it would be no problem for her to go with him. Now the fun begins, Lara has never been off the planet Nerak, so many new things are encountered and must be tried in the name of research . She was beautiful and rankled Sam to no end with her haughty attitude. How could you want to kiss her, comfort her and kill her all at the same time. Now if she would only keep her clothes on, how was a man to resist her. The antics that follow will have the reader laughing out loud, with each introduction to new things - chocolate, sex, alcohol, and did we mention sex. We also find out that there are more aliens in the area, and the story takes an unforeseen twist - where aliens are involved one should always expect the unexpected. Karen has put together an fantastic read. It has scenes so hot that it scorches the pages, so funny that you laugh out loud, unexpected turns with interplanetary travel and the planet Nerak. I would recommend this read to anyone, and am eagerly looking forward to the next book to see where this talented author is taking us. If you have not read the first two books, Close Encounters of the Sexy Kind and Cosmic Sex then you have missed two other great reads and will not be disappointed.
