I Got Abducted by Aliens and Now I'm Trapped in a Rom-Com by Kimberly Lemming 3 stars

[Sue]

When we picked the "Fun" tag this month, I immediately thought of this book on my TBR.

Dory Valentine is pursuing a PhD in wildlife biology, studying meerkats, when she's abducted by a group of very self-important but incompetent bird-like aliens.

For reasons that aren't entirely clear, the aliens have established an inter-species breeding program on another planet. Their original plan was a single species. They abducted a large group, but it turns out they ended up with a large group of men (as mentioned, these aliens weren't incredibly sharp). So they set about finding a compatible species to complete their project - and ended up capturing a group of women from Earth.

Now if you're asking yourself "Why not just get women from the original species? Why are they doing any of this?" I can assure you these questions have no place in this book. This is full-on escapism and silliness.

The real question you should be asking is "Just how smutty does this book get?" And the answer is Very Smutty! A bit more explicit than I usually like. For me a it got a little too clinical - I love a good euphemism.

On the plus side, we do actually get a solid storyline and character development.

LOLOL Hilarious review, especially the sentence on not asking questions. I have to say, the ‘fun’ tag has produced some interesting reviews

This may be the most "fun" TITLE submitted this month!

The author and her heroine are women of color, which I am chagrined to admit wasn't my automatic image of a wildlife PhD.

Too funny, Sue!

I might save the title for next month's 'spicy' tag, in case that's the winner of the vote

Just in case you haven't already watched this, SNL had a skit on their 50th anniversary show about an alien abduction, which your book review reminded me of. Kate McKinnon and Meryl Streep are hysterical in it. Here is the link.

What a hoot, Sue. You made my morning with a smile and a chuckle.
