She signed up to give him an heir, but what he really wants is her heart.
Piper’s infertility sent her childhood sweetheart into the arms of another woman. Now she’s cashing in her credits at the local fertility clinic so she can do the traveling she’s always dreamed of.
But when the clinic offers her a secret third option, she can’t resist.
The plan? Act as a surrogate for an alien male, and have her own fertility restored in exchange.
The catch? She and the tall, dark and handsome alien will need to do it the old-fashioned way.>
He’s wealthy. She’s poor. He’s set in his ways. She longs to travel. The only thing the two agree on? They’ve both made a terrible mistake.
Their pact is simple - convince the staff of the Midsummer Center that they’re trying their best. They’ll go their separate ways when it’s over.
All they have to do is manage not to fall for each other in the most romantic place in the known universe, where the admin, the staff, and the system’s most gifted AI are all working together to make falling in love (or at least in lust) completely irresistible.
Author’s Note: This Science Fiction Romance contains fictional alien solutions to infertility and depictions of gestational carrying for aliens that are in no way based on human gestational carrier practices. Resolve, The National Infertility Association, is a non-profit resource for information, advocacy, and support and may be a helpful resource for anyone seeking support in their fertility journey.

Piper is book one in the Alien Surrogate Agency by Tasha Black.
I finally finished Piper! It’s a cute, quick story, but honestly, reading hasn’t been my jam this year, so it took me longer to get through.
While Piper by Tasha Black is a well-written and quick read, it didn’t quite hit the mark for me. The story is well-written and has an easy pace, but the romance felt a bit lackluster. The “insta-love” trope was in full effect here—the leads go from meeting to fake-dating to head-over-heels in a single day, which felt rushed and made it hard to connect with them.
Piper and Brax didn’t have much depth, and honestly, the AI stole the show for me! If you’re looking for a high-steam read, you might be disappointed, as the heat is low-key and only shows up near the end.
Overall, it’s a decent, okay read, but it just wasn’t my personal favorite. If you’re looking for something short and light then this might be for you.
Rated: 3 Stars
