"Nothing in my life had prepared me for extraterrestrial motorcycle clubs." Frankie: I thought alien abductions only happened in movies. But here I am on a strange planet with green soil and a gang of muscled, wicked-horned aliens on hover bikes. All I want to do is go back to Earth, but the alpha male in charge has decided I belong to him. Now I'm on the back of his bike speeding to an unknown destination and super freaked out about liking his biceps and serious scowl. Good thing I have some banked personal days, because this might take awhile... Daz: The job is supposed to be easy. All I have to do is deliver a spaceship of living cargo to the vile Uldani and they'll release my brother. If I fail, they'll take it out on him. Except the cargo is something I've never seen before--human females. The one called Frankie is beautiful and soft, and I've already spilled blood for her. Now how am I going to save my brother? Because this human female is mine. The Alien's Ransom is a full-length Sci-Fi romance novel featuring a snarky heroine who tries to find the humor in everything, even when kidnapped by aliens, and a possessive hero with lots of hidden weapons. Big ones.

Kick off the convo with a theory, question, musing, or update
Overall this was somewhat forgettable: human women have been abducted for sexual purposes/breeding reasons and yet because the main male character recognizes her as his fated mate, he will try to circumvent the overlord aliens from getting the main female character or any of the humans.
Frankie and Dax cannot communicate for at least 40% of this book, but this doesn't stop them from getting down and dirty.
The inventor character had a human mate, and I felt like this was a nod to a previously introduced pair in a different book of the authors?
The plan to try to infiltrate the city to save the brother was poorly thought out. Sax was the most interesting and memorable part of the book in my opinion, he was a cool motivation for the main male character and he seemed smart, to have his own plans and be fooling the overlords.
Overall this was a perfectly fine start to a series and a very solid 3-star alien romance. I would have preferred a little bit more depth and fleshing out of the culture and characters. I felt like the relationship progressed too quickly to such serious levels, also too quickly for the amount of sexual content.
One reviewer points out that this feels like ordering Ice Planet Barbarians from Temu - lmao!!
