All I wanted for Christmas is to talk to the hot alien delivery guy… but that was before he told me I’m his mate. Can I trust that he’s for real?

I left Earth to start a new life, but I’m still the same old clumsy Holly. Every time the seven foot tall alien delivery guy brings stock to my space station coffee shop I turn into a stuttering mess.

I’ve given up ever learning his name when he brings me a present… and I dump hot cocoa all over him. But it’s when he sniffs me and tells me I’m his mate that I start to wonder if he’s more than I bargained for.

It’s going to take more than a little holiday magic to prevent me from screwing up what might just be the best Christmas ever.

Mistletoe Mishaps is a short read set in Melody's Taurean Warriors universe, but can be read as a standalone.
This story is a light and cozy alien romance with a HEA.

Melody Beckett

Melody Beckett's journey as an author began in the quiet hours of her youth, when she could be found sneaking into her bedroom with a flashlight, devouring books by the glow of the lamp. A self-confessed romance aficionado, she was drawn to stories of passionate love and thrilling adventure, where strong heroes met their match in equally formidable heroines. Today, not much has changed—except now, her trusted Kindle lights up the pages instead of the old flashlight, but the magic of a great story is still the same.

An Australian native with a heart full of wanderlust, Melody combines her love of science fiction with romance in her writing, crafting stories that sweep readers off their feet and into worlds full of suspense, chemistry, and action. Her books are a fusion of the fast-paced, high-stakes drama of sci-fi with the depth of emotions found in romance. Fans of her work can expect everything from alien worlds and powerful warriors to complex heroines who refuse to be sidelined in their own stories.

While her love for books has always been an anchor, it was the combination of a long-standing fascination with science fiction and a deep appreciation for strong, relatable characters that truly sparked her writing career. Her series, Taurean Warriors, blends steamy romance and thrilling sci-fi action, featuring characters who aren’t afraid to fight for what they want—whether it’s love, power, or survival. Each of her stories is marked by an undeniable energy, drawing readers in with its vivid world-building, passionate connections, and high-octane adventure.

Beyond her writing, Melody is a beach-lover at heart, living near the ocean with her husband, two pets (a parrot and a dog), and a seemingly endless collection of books. While her mornings are often spent writing, her afternoons might find her running errands, battling her disdain for celery, or enjoying the sweet joy of chocolate (a food group in her book, quite literally).

As a writer, Melody’s goal is simple: she wants her readers to enjoy every moment, whether it's getting lost in a futuristic landscape or rooting for a heroine to win her heart's desires. She knows there’s nothing quite like the feeling of escaping into a new world—and she’s committed to creating stories that make that escape unforgettable.

This is a fun and quick steamy alien Christmas romance set on a space station between K’Laus & Holly. I enjoyed getting to know both of them and all the cute little misunderstandings K’Laus makes, he was really sweet. This was my second alien holiday romance by this author and I look forward to reading more in the future.

I received a free advanced reader copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
