Alien Overnight (Overnight #1)

by Robin L. Rotham (Goodreads Author)

3.55 of 5 stars 3.55 · rating details · 511 ratings · 29 reviews

Commander Kellen is on Earth recruiting women for his planet's sex-starved males. Not particularly excited by human anatomy, he seeks nothing more for himself than the occasional slaking of his needs with some anonymous female - which shouldn't be a problem, since she'll have to face the other way to accommodate his special anatomical needs.

Mar 02, 2009 MK (Consultant, Corporal Therapist) rated it 3 of 5 stars Recommends it for: fans of futuristic erotic romance, w/ humor

Shelves: romance-menage-bdsm-other, romance-futuristic

This was my first book by this author and normally humor infused romance would have me rolling my eyes. Thankfully this author did not make the heroine into a spoiled brat when she had her fits. It endured you to her and because of the outrageous situation she quickly had to adapt.

The story revolves around a m/f/m alien pairing. I liked the story and setting because there was some imagery I had not yet read about in other stories.

Overall the characters, story and love scenes came together to cr...more

Barbarian Aliens mating with the women of earth? I guess its true- earth girls ARE easy.

Actually I did enjoy this little romp about a girl, seemingly totally human, turning into something definitely “other” when she meets the man- or I should say men- destined to change her…literally. Very smuttie- but combined with the heroine’s transformation along with the aliens previous experience with a matriarchal society, the story actually ends up being kinda romantic as well.

Graded as kindlesmut- 4 out...more

This was a mixed bag for me. On the positive side, I enjoyed it, and look forward to reading the next book in the series, Enemy Overnight. Unfortunately, I was also ripped out of the story several times due to what I'll call, "excessive sci/fi world building".

There were several events in the story that left me confused and trying to figure out what had happened. Either there wasn't enough explanation, or there was too much reliance on alien technology lingo. But, ultimately, it disturbed the st...more

This book is along the lines of Evangeline Anderson's Brides of the Kindreds series.

Basic premise is that an alien race comes to earth in search of females that are viable mates after a virus decimates their female population. Their society had been prior to the virus, matriarchal, so they're also getting accustomed to being a patriarchal society now, and the males still harbor some resentment over their previous treatment. Oh, and since females are now rare for them... they share. So there's a...more

When most of the females from Kellen's planet die from a virus, they look to Earth for compatible females. One of the doctors at the center where the women who volunteered is so androgynous that she's never had a male be interested in her. Monica also has some genital abnormalities. When the Garathani are giving a demonstration of their mating activities, their pheromones would have made an female alien drunk. That's how Monica finds out she's part alien. Kellen and Shauss see her reaction and c...more

Ok. I actually liked this. Quite a bit. Very camp, very tongue in cheek. While the dialogue wanted to make me headdesk on occasion (yes, I'm talking about that "alien invasion" part), I just couldn't take the book seriously enough to make me hate it. I'd prefer to give it 3.5 stars, but since that isn't an option, I'm going to bump it up to 4, simply for keeping me entertained.

Very camp, very tongue in cheek. While the dialogue wanted to make me headdesk on occasion (yes, I'm talking about that "alien invasion" part), I just couldn't take the book seriously enough to make me hate it. I'd prefer to give it 3.5 stars, but since that isn't an option, I'm going to bump it up to 4, simply for keeping me entertained.

So. What happens when an alien race of really tall, really hot guys lose almost their entire female population to biological warfare? Why, they hit up the planet they've been studying for almost 100 years! Especially since they already know (through "experimentation", ahem) that they can copulate with the women here (they apparently have a "spur" or secondary penis that fits perfectly into an Earth gal's rear door). Oh, and since the men can NOT get off unless they're inside a woman, the entire planet has had a serious case of blue balls for the past decade. Harsh. And their society viewed the men as second class citizens and the women could easily refuse the men any relief. So no oral sex for the dudes and some of them have had blue balls even longer than the years following the mass murder of their women. Double harsh.

So these seriously hard up guys hightail it to Terra and introduce themselves to the world at large. But guess what? There's already a hybrid alien/human offspring on board, she just didn't know it. So when she starts reacting to all the pheromones the alien dudes put off, she finally "matures" and the Commander of the fleet claims her for his mate and makes his second in command her secondary mate. Uh...kay. After she goes through a highly accelerated maturation (like, within a week her entire body and face change), the claiming can commence!

There was of course some drama about the primary and secondary mates having trouble sharing, our hybrid heroine trying to come to terms with her new situation, a seditious sub-faction of the alien race that didn't want to have to compete with Earth men apparently. And lots of sex. And spanking, domination games, etc. They were pretty hot at times too, but mostly...campy. That's really all I can say about it. The grammar was good, no spelling mistakes that jumped out at me, no multiple personality disorders, no foreshadowing plot points that kept trying to jump out of the book and strangle me.

If you're in the mood for some fun alien action with a foul mouthed, insecure but strong heroine and a lovely HEA, definitely give this a try. (less)

I'm not going to lie here, the urge to find out about Kellen's "special anatomical needs" was the driving force behind me reading this. Well, that and I love sexy sci-fi. The fact that this book contained both special anatomical needs and aliens is like THE BEST THING EVER!

Well, that and I love sexy sci-fi. The fact that this book contained both special anatomical needs and aliens is like THE BEST THING EVER!

What are these special anatomical needs? you ask. Oh, I'd be thrilled to tell you. You see, a male Garathani cannot achieve release unless his breeding spur is also stimulated. The breeding spur is a protuberance along the top of his boy bits that extends when the male is aroused. So, basically, he can give his lady a little double penetration action ALL BY HIMSELF! Hee! So this book was pretty much one of those books that totally hit the spot (heh) when I picked it up. It has the nicely naughty parts AND a storyline. And a breeding spur. SCORE!

Although there was a thing or two that made me all wide eyed and squirrely (Kellen ordering his second to rape a woman to extract vital information - even though he was only using it as a threat because he knew that his second wouldn't go through with it), overall the book was excellent. Monica's physical and sexual developmental delays had made her feel like an outcast her entire life - and for once I didn't cringe at the virginal heroine since she had a valid medical reason for being that way. Kellen's reactions to Monica and the way he treated her held true with the way he'd been treated in the past and I like that he made mistakes with her. Since kissing was not something his planet engaged in for the most part, he didn't realize that he was hurting her by not kissing her. It was nice to see a hero who didn't know everything and yet managed to woo his lady despite this.

Special anatomical needs aside, this was a very fun book with a well built world and engaging characters. I'm glad Shauss has a chance to find a happy ever after in the next book (although I predict it will be a wonderfully bumpy ride) because he deserves a HEA if any double-penetrating alien does. Although, that will throw this book's menage into the wringer. HOW WILL THINGS WORK OUT IN THE END??? I just don't know!

First, I like SFR. Good SFR is hard to come by and this one was pretty good. It wasn't perfect but it was much better than most offerings I've found in eformat. A lot of thought went into the plot and all the elements worked together and made sense and actually pertained to the plot. It also pulls an extra star just for being more than 80 pages long. It was a complete story with plenty of time and effort put in to really developing the culture and actions of the alien race. A lot of time was spent developing the romance between the three main characters. There wasn't a lot of time devoted to the alien/space tech but this story really didn't need it.

The menage aspect was treated in a realistic manner. In that it was not a perfect fit and just the gosh darndest best thing any of the three had ever experienced. They were forced into it because of the lack of women on the Garathan world after a bio weapon killed them off. The men were forced into multiple marriages by law so that more men would have an opportunity to have a mate. But Shauss, the second male, was too alpha to really fit well and it bothered him that Monica really loved Kellen best. He was only persuaded to stay in the relationship with the understanding that when he found someone who would love him best, he was free to go. And Kellen was very jealous of Monica with Shauss but put up with it because of the law and because Shauss was his best friend and he didn't want him to have to do without. Also for those like me who don't like M/M action, these guys were totally hetero and had no interest in each other.

The plot was well done and left room for more books to explain what was going on with the bio weapon and who was behind that whole thing. One really interesting aspect was that the Garathan society had been matriarchal until the bio weapon had killed off most of the women and the men had been very subjugated including sexually and they were determined not to go back to that way of life with the new women they were getting from Earth.

While I don't normally like made up new holes in the female anatomy here at least it made sense and had a tie in to the plot of the story in that the alien men were physically unable to come if they didn't have a hole above the vagina to lock into. If that sort of stuff squeeks you out, you might want to stay away from this book.

Monica's transformation into an alien sexpot also made sense. Unknown to anyone previously, she was a human alien hybrid and had not been subjected to the right alien male hormones to inspire her maturation. So it wasn't just some out of the blue thing but was a well thought out part of the plot. And it wasn't a poofta easy transformation either but took time and had physical consequences.

One thing that I didn't really like was how dominant the two men were in their actions towards Monica. I guess for two reasons. One, I wasn't reading a BDSM book. When I go that route I've already agreed to buy in to the female being dominated by the male thing and so I mentally have no complaints. Here though that was not the case and I felt like they were treating her like a dumb little woman when she hadn't agreed to be treated that way. So I felt a bit during the middle of the book like they were disrespecting her. That totally pushes my buttons in real life and I don't like it in a romance either. Why it bothers me in one case and not the other I don't know, just does I guess.(less)

This book looked so weird I just couldn't resist. The book blurb says the heroine is "quirky"....what they should have said was foul-mouthed, rude, irritating and totally unlikable. Frankly, I couldn't understand why the horny alien dudes were so hot to trot with Dr. Teague. They liked her "spunky" attitude....I thought she was horrible. However, the two horny alien dudes were hot alpha guys, with a little bit "extra" (bizarre alien anatomical appendage....and I'...more

Ok, so this book is probably getting an unfair review from me but unfortunately thats how the books fell. In this story we meet a group of otherworld men that are searching out females to rebuild their race. During an experiment with humans, two of the warriors sense a hybrid female which they immediately claim as their mate. From hormone overloads experienced by all and a complete lack of communication between the characters this story just fell short of the bar. My major problem with this stor...more

The premise is really silly: a nerdy bookworm is transported aboard an alien spacecraft and is drawn into a menage with two ultra-sexy alien warriors....but somehow it works, and it works well!! Although it is very steamy read, the characters are well-drawn and believable. It is fun and worthwhile read.

Monica got drunk, and relized a few days later that she is acturally half alien, and that kellen and another guy Scubrus both are to be mated to her. Later on monica finds out that shes really rare, not only because shes one of the few alien females left ever anywhere, but shes minister cecine's only daughter!

Weirdness and campy humor and raunch all rolled into one. This one's a mixed bag, but worth the read. Parts of this book reminded me of the movie "Mars Attacks", with its outlandish alien attacks and human response. There was the whole comic book, She-Hulk element when our heroine Monica, who starts as a Dr. Gothchild, morphs into an alien sex-goddess. Wait, was that "Attack of the 50-Ft Woman?" And then, of course, there was the weird alien genitalia, featuring spurs and spur nooks. Very cow-bo...more

This was a pretty good sci-fi erotic romance. The beginning was a little confusing and the anatomy was a bit strange, but once I got about 1/4 way through, I really enjoyed it. There were moments that I laughed out loud and that is rare for me in a book. I hope Rotham plans to write a sequel.
