Big, bad and purple. It was supposed to be a simple job. Grab some specimens from Earth and sell them on the interstellar black markets. In and out, with no one the wiser, except Tren accidentally abducts a human. A barbaric female, who doesn't know how to be quiet and obey. That will affect her selling price especially since she only possesses two breasts, and a single mouth. Yet, in spite of her shortcomings there is something about her spitfire nature that intrigues him. Maybe he should keep her. He's definitely not keen on getting rid of her after he seduces her. A space pirate doesn't usually fall in love, but when an enemy decides to take Megan, Tren realizes he will do anything to get her back.

I’ve gotta say, I cannot disagree here.
This was a random Hoopla borrow, and I’m not sorry I tried it.
I struggled with the plausibility at times, and the world-building felt, honestly, lazy, overall.
At times, the alien speaks as you might expect, and at other times he speaks like a total Earthling. There were many inconsistencies or semi-developed aspects such as this.
It also seems like it sorta can’t decide between being erotica … and actually having a plot. It sorta waffles … there’s what seems like a plot at first, then there really isn’t.
Dialogue flipped between witty and cheesy. It was entertaining enough while I worked, but I doubt I’ll read on in the series. Nothing really against it, per se, just very cliché and not very exciting and … the lazy writing doesn’t really do it for me.
If you like erotica, it might work for you, but the cheese factor was too high for me. Imagine being in the throes of passion and throwing out phrases like ‘heaving bosom’ or discussing your “tummy”.
Doesn’t really work for me, but each to her own.
2 stars.
