About this listen

Alex

My job was supposed to be easy: Meet the dominant Alien race of Mukhana, negotiate an alliance, and leave. Being literally carried away into the night changes everything. Kidnapping a human is asking for trouble. Every alien in the galaxy should know that by now, but the nassa are more barbaric than expected.

Despite some small similarities with humans, their culture is hard to comprehend. They're kind yet controlling, warm yet stern. Even though he literally kidnapped me and will fight to keep me, Saar seems to respect me and maybe even care for me. Most confusing of all, everyone keeps calling me an omega....

Saar

Humans are confusing creatures. They send their most delicate and vulnerable through the universe unattended.
The moment I saw Alex, I knew he was an omega. Even though I was furious that he was being paraded around, unmated and unprotected, I was also thrilled because I knew at once: He was mine.

I will save my omega from his difficult life. I will keep him safe and protected, even if it means war....

The Alien's Kidnapped Omega is a lighthearted sci-fi m/m romance featuring a unique alien race, a sweet and confused human, a very well-meaning and equally misguided alien, and a forced marriage.

I wouldn't have thought this would be my thing and this author is completely new to me but it was so enjoyable, I only wish the next book was available here

This was surprisingly awesome!

My only complaint is that I would have liked a longer audiobook, a longer story, especially the part between Alex’s kidnapping and rescuing. I’d love to see more moments between the MCs, more moments of them connecting and discovering each other and the similitudes/differences between their cultures. Basically more world-building and characters interactions.

Other then that, it was really good. Fast and sweet and sexy, and beautifully narrated by Kirt Graves!

A very good first book

This had a lot of potential but sadly didn't live up to it. The author just didn't seem to have thought a lot of the character and plot points through before throwing them in. A first contact specialist, worked hard for the position and apparently well thought of, keeps having communication problems due to conflicting understanding of words but at no point considers asking if they can sit down and talk about where the misunderstandings are or define any terms. There's nearly a species war declared but nobody asks why or considers if it's because one side believes it has the authority to overrule individual autonomy in specific cases without further justification and the other doesn't recognise that and thinks one of their people has just been randomly kidnapped and is in danger rather than being rescued from it, and therefore both sides actually have the same goal of keeping their people safe. Rather than any real attempts at negotiation or communication, they go straight to 'What's the most effective lie to tell to get what we want?' After the kidnapped person is recovered from (the humans believe) a forced marriage and potential rape, their doctor checks them out but (specifically stated) didn't check for or even ask about sexual activity/assault? Not until later. Presumably nobody's concerned about either physical or psychological trauma, or alien STIs. Skipping this step for no identifiable reasonis the only way a heavily telegraphed 'plot twist' can appear later on.

Negotiating all these miscommunications and cultural conflicts are where these tropes come alive. The author decided to just skip over as much of the background detail as possible. Despite the excellent narrator, this boils down to 'A big guy from an unfamiliar culture decided I was in danger and forcibly took me away from it, disregarded everything I said, claimed me as a battle prize and married me... but he was hot so I went with it. Also things might go badly when he eventually finds out I'm not what he thinks I am, but I'm really horny so I'm sure it'll be fine.' The angst feels manufactured, despite being situationally genuine, due to lack of effort on everyone's part to avoid it. The human tries to argue to a tribunal that the sexual acts were consensual using extremely juvenile language and reasoning, not 'I was a willing participant ' or 'Everything I did with him was consensual,' but 'He didn't do anything bad!' They are sceptical and discover he's reacting to an unknown alien chemical influence which he knew about and hid from them, and... decide that there's no reason not to send him back to the aliens if he wants to go? And then the aliens are annoyed with him for not telling them all the things that he tried to tell them about and they ignored. But since everyone's unexpectedly biologically compatible, everything is fine now. HEA.

I'm not sure the author has read any sci-fi before. I'm not sure if they're familiar with culture conflicts between humans. I'm not even sure they're familiar with any other alpha/omega trope romance works. There isn't enough quantity or quality of sex to consider it just sf-flavoured erotica. There's not enough emotional connection beyond 'want/have' for the HEA to be particularly satisfying.

I'm not sure who the right audience is for this work. It's too over-simplified for an adult novel but there's more graphic sex than is usual for YA fiction.
