Cosmic Sex (Planet Nerak, Book 2)

By Karen Kelley

The truth is way out there. . . Kia can't imagine why her cousin Mala left planet Nerak--utterly perfect in an ever-so-slightly boring kind of way--to go in search of Earth men. At least, not until she meets a virile, muscular human intent on rescuing her (how quaint ) from a bar brawl. And while at first Kia just wants undercover cop Nick Scericino to help locate her cousin. . .well, it would be a shame to come all this way without finding out whether everything really is bigger in Texas. . . Nick knows trouble when he sees it. And right now, trouble is sitting at the bar--black-clad, sexy as hell, and about to mess up his sting operation to take down some Russian mobsters. Could she have mafia connections? Kia's certainly not like any woman he's known--flat out demanding sex, and following through with a sensational romp that leaves his mind blown and world rocked. Other options: a) she's crazy, or b) she's not kidding about being an alien. In which case, he's in even deeper trouble. Because the only thing worse than falling wildly in lust with someone who's not playing with a full holodeck is the thought that she'll soon be leaving for a galaxy far, far away. . . Karen Kelley lives in a small Texas town with her husband and their very spoiled Pekingese, six Koi fish, and various wild birds that eat way too much. She's also a collector of junk which she fondly refers to as antiques. Her motto in life is to enjoy each moment of it.

This was originally published as Cosmic Sex

This book is light and charming - the second in the Nerek series, (#1 is Close Encounters of the Sexy Kind; #3 is Bad Boys Guide to the Galaxy) - not sure why they took a year old book and changed the title!

Cosmic Sex- A Joyfully Recommended Title

Kia arrives on Earth from Narek searching for her cousin Mala to take her back home. She ends up at a bar where she meets Nick Scericino. Nick is working undercover with his partner, Sam, trying to bust a drug dealer he hopes will lead them to the Russian mafia. Instead of making the bust, Nick ends up taking Kia home with him after escaping a bar room brawl and discovering Kia has nowhere else to go. When Kia begs him for sex, he has no resistance against her. But the greatest sex of his life becomes his worst nightmare when Kia tells him she is an alien. Eventually Kia convinces Nick that she really isn't from Earth and he agrees to help her find her cousin. The more time they spend together the less they want to leave each other though. And while they're dealing with their ever growing feelings, the Russian mafia is watching them, and they think Nick and Kia have something they want. Cosmic Sex is a highly entertaining story full of fun and romance. It's also intensely sensual and erotic. I adore Kia. She is innocent and sweet and yet very seductive and Nick is incredibly sexy and gorgeous. I really enjoyed Cosmic Sex and I Joyfully Recommend it! Nannette reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed

Funny and sexy story

Kia is on the way to earth to bring her cousin Mala back to Nerak, because she can't understand why she would want to stay on this strange planet. At least till she meets the undercover cop Nick Scericino and blows his cover, and he knows from the first moment that Kia means trouble for him. The situation gets even more complicated when she tells him that she is from another planet and that she wants him. COSMIC SEX is the wonderful sequel of CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE SEXY KIND. The book can be read as stand-alone, but if you haven't read Mala's story you will definitely want to read it when you finish this book. COSMIC SEX has again the typical kind of wicked humor that Ms. Kelley is so well-known for. It's so much fun to follow Kia's adventure while she is discovering our planet. A small advice for you, don't read the book when you are in public, because the people will look strange when you suddenly start laughing. Ms. Kelley's funny science fiction books are the best that this reviewer has ever read. This story is filled with hot, erotic encounters and fast-paced action scenes. This reviewer really hopes that there will be more stories in this series, especially because Mac's colleague is just screaming to get his own story and counterpart from NERAK. So if you want to brighten up your day or need a good laugh, you really have to pick up this book. It's a real keeper. Courtesy of Loveromances and more

Really good fun!

The rather in-your-face title of this book wasn't particularly encouraging but it turned out to be a really enjoyable read. Kia is from the planet Nerak and she's travelled to earth to find her cousin Mala and return her to Nerak. After all, who wouldn't want to live on Nerak - a perfect planet with no disease, darkness, hunger... or men. However Kia's spaceship lands with a bit of a bump, damaging her locator machine to find Mala. After wandering around for a short time she finds herself in a seedy bar where a drug deal is about to go down and an undercover cop, Nick Scericino, ends up rescuing her from a dodgy biker. Nick soon realises that Kia is out of this world, in more ways than one, and agrees to help her find Mala so that she can return to Nerak. But the time they spend together with Kia learning about humanity, puppies, childbirth, chocolate, sex and more means that it might be rather harder for her to leave when the time comes than she originally thought. And with the Russian mafia targeting Nick and Kia, as well as the police Internal Affairs suspecting Nick of being up to no good, things get more and more complicated. This book was a lighthearted and fun read with most of the enjoyment from Kia's learning about life on earth. The author was particularly good about showing the amusement of literalism in many colloquial sayings, such as "puke my guts out". Kia's attraction to chocolate, puppies and, of course, Nick, added some fun moments. The supporting cast of Sam, Nick's cop partner, Weldon the gadget geek and more gave a bit more variety to the overall character mix. The side plot with the Mafia wasn't particularly important to the overall story but the pacing was good and it was always fun to read.

Hot, Fun Read

Cosmic Sex is Karen's latest release. Although this is a stand alone book, it is also the second in the alien series. It is a fantastic read, highlighting Karen's ability to write hot and funny. Kia has come from the planet Nerak to bring her cousin Mala back to their home planet. After crash landing and catching a ride Kia finds herself in a biker bar to start the search, and wondering why Mala would want to abandon everything she has known for Earth. Nick Scericino, an undercover cop, is in the bar on a sting operation, when Kia walks through the door. She is trouble with a capital T and he can see she is in over her head in this situation. Always one for to help someone out he comes to her rescue. Now the fun begins and Nick knows he is in trouble. Lots of trouble both from his work and Kia. This story is without a doubt a terrific read. Kia and Nick are so hot for each other you will be fanning yourself, but at the same token as Kia is learning and researching things like sex, chocolate, puppies you have a delightfully fun read. Will Kia be able to go back to her perfect, boring planet, will she find her cousin and can she give up Nick? This is a story that keeps you turning pages to see what happens next, and I highly recommend it, and if you have not read the first book Close Encounters of the Sexy Kind you have missed another great read.
