Kidnapping Casey by Laurann Dohner

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

All Casey wants is to avoid being arrested on trumped – up charges from her persistent ex-boyfriend. Running through the woods to escape two deputies sounds like a great plan until they catch her. Thinking it’s all over, waiting to hear the snap of the handcuffs, she instead hears a roar.

A huge, tall, muscular man comes to her rescue. She’s being saved by Bigfoot – and he’s the sexiest thing she’s ever seen. The attraction between them is instant, and after spending a little time with him, Casey wants to take him home and keep him.

There are a few problems with that plan. He’s not the legendary creature, but he definitely isn’t human. Argernon is a warrior from Zorn. They do have one thing in common – he wants to take her home and keep her. He’s kidnapping Casey.

The heroine: Casey – two deputies come after her to take her to her ex-boyfriend Don who wants to talk to her. Don is the town sheriff whom she broke up with six months ago when she caught him cheating. He almost raped her last week when she wouldn’t get back with him. He told the deputies they were role playing and had them arrest her. Now they are back and she runs from them into the forest behind her house.

The Hero: Argernon – he is a Zorn warrior and a prince who has come to earth because many of the Zorn men decided they want women from Earth after his brother, the crown prince got bound to a female from Earth. A sex video of them was released to the population and many of the men saw them doing things the Zorn females don’t ever do. Not only that but females from Earth are smaller and much more beautiful than Zorn females.

The Story: The King ruled that any female from Earth they found had to agree to come to Zorn. Argernon is surprised to see two males attacking a female in the forest and he rescues her. She is scared because even though the Zorn males look similar to men from Earth, they are much larger, have long dark hair and large fangs. He saves Casey, then kidnaps her.

There were some plot holes in this one. For example, the Zorn leader proclaimed that the Earth Females must agree to go to Zorn but Argernon didn’t even have a translator for Casey. So he could understand her but she couldn’t understand him at the start. Though that didn’t stop things from getting steamy really quick, similar to the first book.

I have to admit that sometimes it is refreshing for two people attracted to each other to just get busy right away instead of all the “should we or shouldn’t we” crap that so often happens in romance. I kind of love a quick hookup every now and then. Also this one got pretty funny when Casey decides that Argernon is Bigfoot, since he is huge and has hair on his chest and looks a bit different than a human.

Like I said in the first book, I am not too fond of the Zorn society. They are a very patriarchal society where the women don’t really have many rights or power at all. They are used mainly for sex because the males have a huge sex drive and if they don’t find release often they can get sick. So they have multiple women to keep them satisfied. Though the story was interesting and I loved that much of it took place on a spaceship.

This book was told via solo narration in dual points of view and was narrated by Simone Lewis. I really like her soft, pleasant voice. Her male voice isn’t the best but isn’t annoying either, so overall I am very pleased with the narration and plan on listening to the next few books as well.
