Abducted by Evangeline Anderson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
My name is Zoe McKinley. I have a boring life, an awful job, and a boss that throws staplers at my head. What could be worse?
…
How about being abducted by Aliens?
…
Being dragged through a mirror, naked and screaming, onto an extraterrestrial ship was bad. Finding out I had been sold to a huge alien male who looks like the Devil was worse. But learning he wanted to trade me to an intergalactic petting zoo was the worst of all!
…
Now I’m whizzing through the galaxy with a robot butler, a trio of nib-nibs (they’re like tiny green monkeys) and one huge, muscular, and very grumpy alien. The clothing they gave me shows all my lady-bits, the food-sim makes banana cream pie that tastes like sauerkraut, and Sarden, my captor, is too hot to stay mad at, even if he is a jerk.
…
In fact, I think I might be falling for him.
…
What’s a girl to do? It’s all in a day’s work when you’ve been…Abducted.

The Alien Mate Index–Learn more
…
From the pen of Evangeline Anderson, the writer who brought you Brides of the Kindred, comes a new race of Alien warriors…twelve races, to be exact.
…
Everyone thinks that live just evolved on Earth—
Wrong.
…
Our planet, and twelve others, all capable of supporting Terran life, was seeded by the Ancient Ones.
…
Then Earth was locked away, kept safe in the cocoon of our ozone layer. But now there’s a gaping hole in our security blanket and guess who’s coming to dinner?
…
That’s right—the Alien warriors of the Twelve Peoples—also descended from the Ancient Ones, are looking for mates and Earth girls are their first choice.
…
The Vorn are feared throughout the galaxy. Savage, horned warriors, these males can be surprisingly gentle to the females they choose to bond with.
…
Denarins come in pairs—two muscular males who share a psychic bond… and feel the need to share one woman as well.
…
The Majorans worship their females as goddesses, the very color of their skin changing with their bonded mate’s mood.
…
Braxians are savage with black-on-white eyes that can see every spectrum of light. They will defend their females to the last drop of blood in their huge, blue bodies.
…
And there are more…so many more Alien warriors to pick from.
…
Which type of male would you choose?
…
Too bad you won’t have a choice, because thanks to the Alien Mate Index, an agency that abducts Earth brides for alien males, you could be snatched at any time and turned into a massive warrior’s mate or concubine.
…
So the real question is—who will choose you?
Abducted
Through the looking glass!

The heroine: Zoe – works in a law office for a man she doesn’t like. One day while talking on the phone to her friends while in the office bathroom about the fact that her boss threw a stapler at her, she hears a noice in the handicapped stall. She checks it out and sees a red man with horns in the mirror. She is then sucked through the mirror like it is a portal to Hell.
The Hero(es): Sarden – a half-breed smuggler (half Vorn/half Eloim), who wants to trade Zoe with the evil Tazaxx to save his sister Sellah. He picks her from the AMI (Alien Mating Index). Sarden would be a lord if he were to claim his rightful place in society.
The Story: Zoe is called the “Pure One” by the beings that take her. She thinks she is in Hell, though it isn’t hot. There are creatures that look like demons and the red male with horns is sexy and huge. It isn’t long before she finds out that the Ancient ones seeded her planet eons ago and the lock (ozone layer) on Earth has been removed and investors are free to harvest the women of the planet. They are called ‘Pure Ones’ because they are pureblooded from the ancients.
I have been Hella into Alien romance lately. I have no idea why, maybe because I like the whole normal girl in an abnormal (or paranormal) world trope and most of these are exactly that. As much as I like the trope where the females crash land on a planet of barbarians, I like even more when the aliens are more technologically advanced than we are, plus the males wear pants which I think is much hotter than being naked or wearing a loin cloth all the time. This series looked interesting to me.
This book had some pretty cool alien technology as well. I have read many books that have different kinds of food processing technologies, though none so far have any kind of explanation of how they work and how the aliens can keep getting food from these gadgets without having to get groceries of any kind.
This book had an explanation of how it works. The ship has stores of the green nutrient slime that is what is used as the base of all the food and there are things that attach to the users head and the user just thinks about what they want to eat and how it tastes and the food sim creates it from the nutrient slime. It is supposed to come out looking, smelling and tasting exactly like what the user expects, that is if the simulator is programmed correctly.
The book is told in dual points of view with dual narration. Narrators Mackenzie Cartwright and William Martin who both did a great job. I liked the way that both of these narrators used different voices for the characters thoughts than for their speaking voices. It made it easier to tell thoughts from when they were actually speaking to someone. That is something that should be done more, since I often wonder if a character is thinking or actually talking to another person in an audiobook.
Overall this was a very well written alien romance. I don’t really like the fact that the main characters in this series are BBW. I know there are women of all sizes and they all deserve to find love, but I would rather my books not focus on the size of the woman or the amount of ‘curves’ she may or may not have. It just makes me picture a chubby woman and I get enough of that when I look in the mirror. Though I liked the storyline enough that I plan to listen to more of the series.
