Alien Conquest by Honey PhillipsMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Alpha Male Alien Alert
I normally quite like alien romances but I think I’ve hit my quota for the alien alpha version of these types of books. The first thing I’ll say that there needs to be a trigger warning for this book because there is sexual assault in the book.
The book also opens with the MFC, Emily (or M’Lee as the alien MMC, T’Lan, calls her) waking up with an awful hangover and no recollection of the night before, but with her body showing evidence of having had sex with her alien ‘friend’.
The start of this book was really hard for me and I imagine it will be for a lot of women. What follows is Emily running to her grandmother’s after the place she works with aliens is blown up and her ‘friend’ dies. She hides in her old home town, until a few weeks later she discovers she is pregnant with a half alien baby.
T’Lan shows up to investigate the explosion because she should have been there at the time but wasn’t because she was hungover and her ‘friend’ made an excuse to her boss and let her sleep in. Obviously T’Lan falls for her immediately and claims her for himself and takes over Emily’s life.
The story is all about his wooing of Emily and her falling for the handsome, giant alien with horns. All of her doubts are washed over and she doesn’t complain much at all the restrictions placed on her by this alien who is part of a race of beings who have invaded Earth, all be it under the cover of rescuing Earth from the humans.
This alien race is so sketchy, it’s so hard to envisage a situation where a human woman would be ok with their behaviour, but Emily just keeps forgiving them, as does her grandmother. It’s all acceptable because she is ‘enlightening’ this advanced race that what they are doing is pretty much sexual exploitation at best and sex trafficking at worst.
It must be the combination of pregnancy hormones and lust that keeps her in his thrall, because we don’t see much past the first couple of months after giving birth. Once she’s no longer too tired to think, I hope she wakes up!
Apart from my problems with the content, the book is well written and if you like this type of thing you will probably enjoy it as it’s full of lust-filled activities and romantic claims. There is plenty of building of tension and peril, it’s just not for me.
