About this audiobook
Rebecca’s job is to keep unsanctioned aliens off Rilli Space Station. Aliens like Karru C’Hali. He’s heavily muscled, gorgeous, seductive… and unsanctioned. And he wants her!
As an intake officer for six years, nothing surprises Terra-born Rebecca Varda anymore. Nothing. Except the arrival of Karru C’Hali, Overlord of Palia. He’s nearly seven feet of honey-skinned, heavily carved and deliciously muscled male, and his presence has her heart racing with apprehension. Not because he’s unsanctioned, but because Palia—and their people—are a myth. Maybe.
Even if they aren’t, he can take his unsanctioned alien ass off Rilli. When he doesn’t, she decides that if he wants to run afoul of the station director and end up in a federation holding cell, it’s no concern of hers. Until it is. Rebecca finds herself wrapped in Karru’s arms and embroiled in the drama surrounding Palia, Rilli, and a long lost royal family line that ends with… her.
Editor's Note
New York Times Bestselling Author...
A human whose job it is to keep unsanctioned aliens off her turf meets, of course, an unsanctioned alien. One who’s also incredibly sexy. And wants her. Like Ruby Dixon’s works, Kyle’s alien romances are over-the-top and fun, and “Not Quite Terran” will have you fall in love with a seven foot tall alien too.

98 ratings7 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It wasn't bad. I knew right away she was not full Terran as soon as the part about her not having a normal human clitoris was explained.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Thought the beginning was a little slow but it did get better. Over all a good listening.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5The narrator is too robotic, she doesn't put enough life into her characters, so the comedic phrases sound dull.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The book sounds like one id enjoy but the narrator is horrible it's like a robot assaulting my ears I can't stand it.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I'm very confused, the cadence in the narration is that of someone reading a third-person narrative out loud to children. But it's written in first person and the random pauses mid-sentence are not where people would naturally stop. It sounds robotic, not natural.
If this is AI generated the settings are all wrong. AI can do a much better job than this. If it's a real person then they need to adjust how they read for the type of book they're reading. First person narratives should feel like the narrator is speaking directly to you, not telling a story for an audience.
I can't critique the writing, as the issues with the audio were too distracting. I legit only read about a half hour before I gave up. Sorry to the author, I don't think this is their fault.1 person found this helpful
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The narration sounds like it has spliced in pieces of AI audio.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Had to rate this as middle of the road primarily because of the narrator. The story is good, not exceptional, but enjoyable.
