Humans … pets, meat, or mates.

That’s the first thing I see when I open my eyes, that damn sign.

Don’t fancy myself being sold for any of the above reasons, so I’m relieved when my buyer is killed by an …

Um.

Hot venom and horns and a violent grin.

What the actual f*ck is that?! Or should I say who the actual f*ck is he?

Because he’s definitely male. Definitely big. Definitely exuding pheromones that turn me into a much less rational human being.

Hi, I’m Eve Wakefield, twenty-five years old, professional caterer, recently abducted by aliens alongside my best friend. I’m also completely and utterly screwed. Lost on a jungle planet. Rooming in a downed spaceship with a dragon dude. Being hunted by a moth man with demon eyes and vampire teeth. Begging for help from a tentacle-tailed fox man who also happens to be … a space cowboy?

Here’s the thing: I desperately want to go back to Earth.

But I am not leaving this place without my bestie, Jane Baker.

And I can’t find her or get us home without the help of three males who just so happen to be ideal romantic matches for yours truly.

Yay.

Three very different men. Three very different lives for me to try out. Three very powerful romances.

And only one thing matters: finding Jane.

Then … then I’ll worry about the messy complications of finding myself perma-mated to aliens.

Yeah, it’s a whole thing.

I saw "A Smutty Reverse Harem Alien Romance," and I was flat out sprinting to borrow this from KU. When I got about 50% and there was still only one couple, I started getting a little nervous. It was also a bit more of a slow burn than I could ever have expected. I was still holding out hope until the very end, but then I found out that it IS a reverse harem alien romance....TRILOGY. UGH. I thought for sure I was getting all of the harem in book one! I had to take a break after finishing this because I was so disappointed that I didn't get more of the harem in book one. 

Don't get me wrong. Abraxas was great! Eve.....well, she's Eve. I think I would also be an absolute disaster if I were abducted by aliens from a work event that I went to on my day off. BUT, Eve is rescued by the biggest of baddest dragon aliens! He saves her from being a bride-slave, he brings her to his home, he feeds her and does his best to communicate with her. And he's super hot and got the crazy good sexy pheromones. They have to get down to save a life which is very good. 

And we have met the whole harem. We've gotten some flirting and such. But no real momentum with the other lads other than Abraxas. I can appreciate the time given to the relationship development, for sure. But I am chomping at the bit for some more Rurik and Hyt. 

That cliffhanger did us dirty though...
