At the end of his obligated commitment to the Space Service, Frey Berger decides to stay on Earth to further experience human emotions rather than return to Ginnun where his intended has already mated with another. Looking for real love and someone to accept him for what he is, Frey enlists in Madame Evangeline’s popular dating service. Although he does not understand the concept of a one-night stand, he hopes to find his perfect mate.
Carrie Cooper’s husband divorced her for someone who could provide him with children, leaving her with little self-confidence and no desire to let a man hurt her again. Her best friend convinces her to join a dating service, claiming Carrie needs to get laid, while not winding up with a broken heart since her date requires no commitment after the night is over.
Although several misunderstandings nearly derail them before the date has even begun, Carrie and Frey end up becoming closer than they ever believed possible. Still, Frey will need to convince Carrie that her perfect mate isn’t human at all, and that one night can lead to a forever love.

Celestial Seduction was a really quick read that I finished during one of my lunch breaks. Frey has refused to return to his home planet. He has decided that he wants to find his true love on Earth. He signs up for a dating service and waits several months before finally arranging a date with Carrie who he feels may be a potential mate for him. When the two finally meet the relationship takes off quickly.
I thought this was a sweet love story. Frey comes from a planet that does not allow its inhabitants to show affection towards one another. His desire is to find a woman that he can have an affectionate life long relationship with. Carrie is still trying to recover from a divorce that has left her with low self-esteem. She has no expectations for this one-night stand and because of this was able to be open to Frey’s confession and demonstration of his alien nature.
I’m not a sci-fi fan so the alien aspect of this story kind of made me squirm. But I thought the story was well written. Jessica Subject did a good job conveying the emotions and vulnerabilities of both Carrie and Frey and I enjoyed their story. Celestial Seduction would appeal to romance junkies that enjoy sci-fi elements and alien heroes.
