I love these Dakonian tales
It was about time Enoki got his mate. This twisty sci-fi romance is angsty to the max, but Enoki shows us why he is a leader. He is patient, understanding, and strong enough to protect his people. Madison has been fighting grief and what she calls sexism for years. Is she ready to live again. Can Enoki convince her Dakon is where she belongs? Fun read!

Alien Mischief is book four in the Alien Mate series by Cara Bristol and this title ends the series. We finally get Enoki, the leader of all the Dakon tribes story.
This was another fun, sexy, and enjoyable read. I’m happy that we end with Enoki. I’ve been waiting for his story.
The Alien Mates series is best read in order, but the author does give enough background that you can pick this one up and go.
This one is a little different then previous books. Madison didn’t volunteer to become a mate to a Dakon. She’s working for the exchange program as a chaperon for the women in the mate program. She only signed up to the program to prove something; especially to her brother about sexism. In the end she applies as a women and as a man. You can guess which applicant got hired. Now, for three years she’s been pretending to be a man and escorting mates-to-be to Dakon. She has no plans to become a mate, but fate has other ideas.
Enoki is the leader of all the tribes on Dakon. He spends a lot of time being the peacemaker to all the different tribes. He’s fair and doesn’t use his position to get in on the mate process. This time thou the winds have been whispering to him that his mate is coming. Yet, all the women that came went with the partners they where meant too, so what is Enoki to do?
The circumstances in this one where a lot of fun. We get a lot of funny moments; especially when Madison in trying to keep Enoki in the dark. I felt the story was a bit deeper and more tender then others in the series. Maddison is a bit judge at first, but that’s because she’s lying to herself. Her BBF was great and did what any BBF would due in calling her out on her bull shit. I loved how Enoki fought for them both.
We are treated to humor, spice, and a heartwarming romance that left me satisfied. I devoured this book in one day. If you enjoy fated mates, science fiction and romance then this series is for you. It’s a lot of fun and doesn’t just jump to the fated mate. It gives the couples time to grow.
Rated: 4 Stars

I like the characters Cara Bristol creates. I read Darak first, so it was nice to see and learn about his planet through Alien Mischief.
I loved getting to know Madison and her motivation behind pretending to be a man. It made me giggle at how oblivious Enoki was to the fact that his Fated mate was literally RIGHT. THERE. He saw all the clues and literally went “oh human men must just be pretty much exactly the same as human women”.
I definitely enjoyed this, though felt Madison very very quickly changed her mind about becoming Enoki’s mate, it seemed a bit abrupt (though totally understandable)

Thought it was great! I love the world that this book is in. The Heroine and the Hero are a bit dense though.

Review originally posted at BooksOfMyHeart.net.
Alien Mischief is the fourth book in the Alien Mate series. You can read this book without having read the previous books in the series.
This one is a bit different from the previous books in the series. Madison didn’t volunteer to become a mate on Dakon. Nope. She worked for the exchange program. But things aren’t what they seem. While trying to prove a point to her brother about sexism in the workplace, she applied as both a man and a woman and got hired as a man. She’s been doing this job as a man for three years. She escorts the mates-to-be to Dakon.
This is not her first trip to Dakon, but she doesn’t spend much time there. She makes sure the women make it okay and then she leaves. She doesn’t even stay around for the mating ceremony. But she stays to watch this time, because a friend of hers is one of the soon to be mates. That is until the ship leaves without her.
Enoki is not only the leader of a tribe, but a leader of the tribe leaders. He’s the main guy on Dakon. He spends a lot of time trying to play peacemaker to all the different tribes and the people in those tribes happy. He also plays fair. As much as he would like to have a mate, he doesn’t use his position to get himself at the front of the line for one of the mates. Though he knows this time is different. The fates are telling him his mate is coming and that she’s there, but he doesn’t know how. All the women were given to the men they were supposed to partner with.
This is a fun series. It follows Earth women who go to Dakon to find men looking for mates. Dakon was struck by an asteroid which not only turned it into a frozen planet, but they have few women now thanks to a virus and a low female birth rate. Earth has a surplus of women, so women are willing to travel millions of miles to another planet for the chance at happy long-term relationship.
If you like fated mates, science fiction and romance, this is series you’ll enjoy. I’ve really enjoyed all the books in this series.

I feel very conflicted by this for many reasons. There was a huge potential with this one...
If this is the end of the series... I don't feel we got real closure... what happened with all of the other couples that we met? What happened with the other tribes people who had behaved so badly?
EPILOGUES... MASSIVE EPILOGUES needed for closure... if this is the end...

Madison is trying to prove a point to her brother that misogyny is alive and well. What better way than by going undercover on a ship taking mail order brides to Dakon. She may have perfected her supercilious, lip curling, male alter ego a bit too well though. Cos the females on board truly can't abide "him", she let her opinions on their choice to travel and marry men they'd never met just a bit too well known.
But when she injures herself and is left stranded on Dakon, she will have to either come clean to her friend Enoki before his healer friend does it for her or declare herself a female and allow herself to be put into a lottery for the unmated males in Enoki's tribe.
I really enjoyed Madison and Enoki's friendship which turns to more. Madison is a bit full on competitive with her brother though. I get using the money to pay off bills etc, but how can she just deride others decisions to become brides, for whatever reason. I really did find her a tad judgemental, after all, she likes Enoki so why hate the very females who could be his HEA?
Poor Enoki fears for his mental health when the winds keep telling him his mate is near, he just doesn't see through Madison's disguise. But when he realises who she is to him, his HEA may just get scuppered by Madison herself. With the able assistance of Huey, Dewey and Louis - my names for his odious tribesmen!
Good dose of humour manages to make what could have been Madison's preachiness palatable. And who can resist a large, hunky alien?????

This was my favorite one so far. I always wondered about Enoki. Madison and her shenanigans were too funny. I wish the cover was more inventive or descriptive. There just blah. I did notice better love scenes! Big applause!!!
