A chance at love might not be out of this world in the next romantic comedy from USA Today bestselling author Mallory Marlowe. A chance at love might not be out of this world in the next romantic comedy from USA Today bestselling author Mallory Marlowe. Los Angeles social media influencer El Martin seems to live the perfect aesthetic life. But what El wants more than anything is to find something real to make her heart race in a way it hasn't in years. She doesn't expect that feeling to come from capturing footage of an unidentified flying . . . thing, much less from the charming Man in Black who keeps following her around. Agent Carter Brody is trying his best to keep the Private Intelligence Sector afloat by dragging their hopelessly out-of-date office into this century, even though what he really wants to do is follow in his father's footsteps identifying and hiding extraterrestrial sightings. He gets his chance after being assigned to El's case and is stopped in his tracks not only by her ingenuity and confidence, but also by the unnerving coincidence of how her sighting looks eerily like what he saw right before a family tragedy. The deeper El and Carter fall into the mystery, the harder it is for them to ignore their growing chemistry, as their own alien feelings become dangerously terrestrial.
"UFOs and shadowy government agencies collide in this fast-paced, laugh-out-loud follow-up to Love and Other Conspiracies. As sexy as it is nerdy, this book is perfect for anyone who has ever looked at the night sky and wondered what was up there."Navessa Allen, New York Times best-selling author of Lights Out
Love at First Sighting is fresh, flirty, and downright fun. Carter and Els chemistry is out of this world, and this book definitely made me a believer that Mallory can write anything. She continues to be one of my favorite authors!Lana Ferguson, USA Today bestselling author of Under Loch and Key
Marlowe draws out a love story that is playful, vivid, and genuinely funny but also tender and vulnerable when it matters. Love at First Sighting was an utter delight, equal parts charming and cheeky; a buoyant romcom grounded by real heart.Brigitte Knightley, author of The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy
"Full of action, pitch-perfect comedy, and lots and lots of heart, Love at First Sighting is everything I look for in an adventure romcom. Mallory Marlowe is an immense romance talent and with her latest has become an auto-read author for me. (Also sweet sexy cinnamon roll love interest in a Men in Black suit Yes PLEASE.)"Jenna Levine, USA Today bestselling author of My Roommate is a Vampire
"A refreshingly original premise, genuine laughs, and romantic chemistry that is out of this world make Love at First Sighting an instant five star read. Swoony, action-packed, and cosmically creative I want to be alien-abducted into Mallory Marlowe's mind."Kate Golden, USA Today bestselling author of A Dawn of Onyx
Joyful from the first sighting to the last sweet second, Mallory Marlowe not only understands the assignmentshe excels at it. El and Carter's chemistry ignites every page, while the deeper story of learning to have faith in yourself and trust someone else with your heart is balanced perfectly with refreshing bursts of high-stakes action. I loved every second!Rebekah Faubion, author of The Lovers
