Captive by Nhys GloverMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Alien Abduction
I’d probably give this book 3.5 ⭐️ if I could.
Bronwyn is a shy, insecure woman who feels out of place and invisible. She isn’t close to her family, she has no friends, all she does is work as a computer developer. She has accepted that she will probably spend her life alone, until she is kidnapped.
Waking up in an strangely dreamlike environment with a hot metallic blue alien looking guy freaks her out, especially when he talks about their captors wanting them to mate!
This is a fated mates, reverse harem, alien abduction story and that pretty much describes the plot, with a few extra twiddles to keep you entertained. It’s a pretty straight forward book, but I give the author credit for having the characters show doubts about what they are experiencing, and about whether they want it or not, which is a nice change from this sort of book where everyone involved seems happy to jump from insta-lust to happily ever after. This is why this book is better than a lot of similar ones of the same genre.
The author did a good job of differentiating the males involved in the relationship. This is often where shorter, fast burn RHs fall down, but it isn’t the case with this book.
The world building was interesting but not massively detailed. There was lots of information missing, and some questions dangled but not answered, which annoyed me because Bronwyn was a very inquisitive character and she would definitely be bugging her guys for an answer to those questions.
I was entertained by this book, and would probably read another book from the series if I was in the right mood, especially as the next book seems to have better ratings than this first book, so it might be fun to see where the improvements are made.
