A review by offmyredcarpet
Alien Captive by Lee Savino, Golden Angel
1.0
DNFd. This is not a sci-fi romance. It is sci-fi erotica. Which is fine but that is not what i thought I was getting. I’m so tired of inadequate book descriptions. Proper description and categorizing would have kept me from this book and I wouldn’t be here writing a negative review.
The writing is immature. The dialogue is sub-par. The initial concept is great and unique but quickly devolves into a shallow story. It is clear to me that some authors attempt to incorporate kink into their writing without knowing anything about it. BDSM is a consensual handing over of power to a trusted Dominant. It is not, in any form, abusive. If you want to write about kink, learn about kink.
FMC kept getting told to “calm down” and “pay attention” when she was having an appropriate response to being abducted. I read alien abduction romance books on the regular. It is my primary genre. Please allow FMCs to have real responses to being abducted instead of this “oh well whatever can I do” inner dialogue that’s being served because you want to write a submissive smut story but don’t know how to do it without being misogynistic.
