Destiny’s not just for Earthlings…

Detective Ryan Winslet is a by-the-book kind of girl. The one and only time she allowed her personal feelings to cloud her judgement, the results were devastating. Now she’s getting a chance to make things right, but a certain sexy nightclub owner is muddying the waters.

Tiberius Maximus isn’t the first Aequorian prince to be exiled to Earth. Like his ancestors, he came, he saw, and he conquered. He’s vanquished his enemies, gained a fiercely loyal family, and runs an incredibly successful nightclub that might push a few legal human boundaries. The only thing he doesn’t have is the life mate he so desperately craves – until a salty blonde saunters into his club one night.

When the no-nonsense detective meets the exiled prince, their chemistry is off the intergalactic charts. Tiberius is convinced she’s the one for him, but Ryan’s not taking the bait. Sure, he’s über hot and seems like a great catch, but he’s also involved in some fishy business and thinks he’s from another planet.

Should she follow her head and throw him back? Or follow her instincts… and her heart… and jump into the deep end?

Close Encounters of the Sexy Kind is a funny, sexy, tongue-in-cheek sci-fi with a touch of suspense to raise the stakes. Grab your copy today for some out-of-this-world fairy tale romance!

5.0 out of 5 stars ... read sci fi but Abbie is one of my favourite authors so I gave it a go
Reviewed in Australia on 23 April 2018
I don’t normally read sci fi but Abbie is one of my favourite authors so I gave it a go! I must say it was pretty exciting to say the least. Tiberius and Ryan were great together. The story was well written for me. Hoping for a book on Quintus next.

Close Encounters Of The Sexy Kind is a paranormal romance with a sci-fi twist by Abbie Zanders and Jessie Lane. Team Zanders/Lane have delivered a well-written book and stuffed it full of amazing characters. Tiberius is being exiled to earth from his home planet of Aequorians. At the last moment his best friend jumped into the portal with him. They prosper on earth and own a nightclub called Bait. Ryan is a detective on the Golden Beach Police Force and her best friend insists on going to Bait for her birthday. Tiberius and Ryan's story is packed with drama, humor, sizzle, action and suspense. I enjoyed this fun read from start to finish and look forward to my next book by Abbie Zanders. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

This is my first Annie Sander story. And I enjoyed the storyline and the characters are strong. It's nice to see a strong female character that equals the male.
In will be reading Abby again. I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy for my honest review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun story that will have you laughing....

Close Encounters of the Sexy Kind is a laugh out loud, sexy, sci-fi romance and I love it so hard! Tiberius and his brother are exiled to Earth from their planet. They've pretty much made a name for themselves taking care of the bad guys and cleaning the streets. Ryan is a detective with the police force and after being dragged to his club she has an instant connection with Tiberius. Between low life drug dealers, a fear of water, and sexy aliens we are taken for a bumpy ride!

Ryan is a bad@$$ warrior. She's tough and strong with a no nonsense attitude. She fits perfectly with Tiberius who is sexy, sweet, and a gentleman until he or his mate are threatened. I thoroughly loved this entire storyline with the cop and vigilante. Add in the wee bit of sci-fi and I was more than in love. Sexy water aliens? What more could you want?

This is a fun story that will have you laughing and rooting for Ryan and Tiberius! Plus I'm hoping we may get to see Betty in a book, with a certain sexy alien!

This was a sweet read. It was light story with the interesting alien prince twist. It did not have the pull most of her stories have but it was interesting.

Tiberius and Ryan are an awesome couple. He’s an alien from another planet that lives in the ocean; she’s a police detective that loves paranormal romances and alien tv shows, the only draw back is she hates/ fears the ocean. Ryan’s friend Betty drags here to Bait Nightclub where they meet Tiberius and his friend Quintus. Ryan and Tiberius have protecting the streets in common, just in different ways, that becomes difficult when Tiberius discovers that Ryan is his Mate.

Loved the book as a fun read. Want Quintus’s book.
