Did I think I would enjoy alien erotica? Nope. But here we are! A little rough around the edges in terms of writing style but the story is entertaining and intriguing and the characters are charming as shit. There were some repetitive bits and it’s a little disappointing not knowing much about the aliens who abducted all these women, but the romance (?) and the courage of both groups of people in this story was captivating.
