review 1: this for me is a 3. i loved the idea and the men where hot. but there was not much wooing when they met. I dont like how easy she was. She kept saying im not a slut, but lets jump in bed together because your sexy.. there was very little explanation as to why things where happening. it might just be me but this i have instant feelings for you and your bff but thats taboo blah blah blah was getting to me
review 2: Quick Rundown-- sci-fi, alien erotica (medium-light level smut) where this chick gets a quick courtship by an unknown-to-her alien, insta-soulmate happens and she discovers that Earth females are needed to help save a humongous race of beefy alien hunks in polyamorous relationships. A matriarchal society where the woman in the relationship is re... morevered and adored and gives the aliens empathic strength against deadly enemies and such unions will help save their universe due to some past DNA warfare that made them unable to produce baby girls hence the need for Earth girls. Sounds hokey? Yep, but it is so not and so much more!I love this genre and have read many novels (a lot of erotica) about alien abduction and this is one is probably in top three. The beginning started out with a supernova punch that had me on the edge of my seat for the first couple chapters. Despite how hokey my book summation ends up, it was so well written that I believed every moment, every emotion, and any well veiled cliche'. There were a couple moments of slight cheese but they were pretty well towards the end and didn't disturb the mood though my mom calling in middle of a smut scene did.This is pretty much M/M/F with a hint a couple extra M's in a light sexual situation on one occasion. Partial bonds with other males(in a sexual nature) are required in order to protect warriors in one's family which in turn offers protection for the whole group. The smut is basically between the three and the author did a good job about bringing in the second male at the right time and the right way. I was really impressed with the way the author distinguishes the lovin between the chick and the other males outside of her two mates. It flowed well and again, completely believable- especially considering the length of this novel. Smut level was medium light and I would have liked it a little more dirty but that's personal preference I suppose.Like I said, this ended up being completely believable (along with enviable) and I became invested in the characters very easily. World building was just enough to create a picture. I was attached to the primary characters and the secondary characters had plenty of "life" about them despite being such a brief part of this shorter novel. I am slightly miffed about novel length despite how well the author did with it. There were blank pages between every chapter so I suspect that book length was more like 170ish pages instead of 191. But the pacing was tight and well done and I'm ready for the next one. Ending was a little abrupt with no cliff hanger. This novel could have easily been longer which would have made it more captivating but I am sure there are reasons why that only an author would know.A couple other little issues that are terribly minor but bugged me long enough to make note of them. It was weird how she never inquired about her friends knowing early on that they were mates as well. And that even though she mentions in her inner dialogue about leaving a letter for her parents before she left for her mates' home planet, it only crosses her mind in one sentence despite their close relationship. Both are eventually addressed but as clever as this author seems to be, she could have added in a couple sentences on each above issue to keep reader focused on what was happening "now" instead of risking the believabiltiy by ignoring it till the end. Ready for the other girls' stories! less
