Alien Abduction

Alien #8

by Tracy Lauren

Gabrielle…
I was abducted by aliens with super advanced technology…yet they tell me there’s no way home. And by wild coincidence, all the human abductees happen to be falling in love with our supposed alien heroes. I’m not buying it. There is a conspiracy going on and I’m not sticking around to drink the Kool-Aid. No matter what it takes, the last thing I’m ever going to do is fall in love with an alien .

Jarvian…
I must be the happiest Osturan in all the galaxy! Before my stint on that alien prison ship I was nothing more than a wanderer, without home or family. Thankfully, my luck is unerring. We were brought to a beautiful planet— my planet. Suddenly, I have it all. Yet I can’t seem to ignore one angry and confused little human who struggles to see the beauty of this land. Perhaps, for her sake, I will go on one last adventure before I settle down…

First, you absolutely must read previous books, especially Alien Prison. In that book we first meet Jarvian. He's a loveable goofball that's completely devoted to his found "family." He was easily my favorite side character in the series up until now, so I was so happy to see he was getting his own book.

Alien Abduction picks up right where Alien Prison left off so we do get a little bit more of Tess and Crius, which I loved.

The trio's been taken back to Beacon and Jarvian couldn't be happier. He's finally out of prison, he loves it there.

Enter Gabby. If you don't remember her from previous books, she's the selfish, rude, conspiracy theorist. She reasons that she's like this because she was abducted by aliens against her will...so she abducts Jarvian against his will so she can find a way back to earth.

They go on an action packed adventure where Jarvian unsurprisingly make Gabby see the error of her ways, they fall in love, and by the end everything is wrapped up tidily without Gabby having to eat nearly enough crow after how she treated the other women and Vendari.

The likeability of Jarvian is (barely) enough to save this story from the un-likeability Gabby. I can see and sympathize with her being paranoid, and untrustworthy because of everything she's gone through, but the conspiracy theory stuff went too far. I see enough bizarre conspiracy theorists on the news. Don't need it in a romance.

I love series enough to stick with it. I guess they can't all be the best.

After being abducted by aliens and rescued to live in the community on Elysia, Gabrielle (h) struggles to fit in and only wants to return to Earth. Osturan Jarvian (H) is a newcomer to the community and hopes to take up farming now that’s he’s no longer imprisoned. Gabrielle is convinced that there’s some sort of conspiracy going on to keep her on Elysia and abducts Jarvian at the end of a blaster to force him to take her to Earth. Jarvian is so amazingly optimistic and happy that he finds joy in helping Gabrielle on her quest. He wants to push her to live and try new experiences and adventures to help her see her strengths and the possibilities in the universe, though they end up in a much more trying situation than what he intended. Jarvian is just so glass half-full and Gabrielle is so glass half-empty – he’s such a great cheerleader for her as he pushes her out of her comfort zone and tries to get her to live. His overly enthusiastic nature just helps Gabrielle to find her inner strength and she realizes just what she can do. The romance and heat took a while to build, btu his caring was always there as Jarvian helped Gabrielle see there’s no place like home.

This a great book and I do love a strong independent woman and an alien man strong enough to give just as good as he gets. Gabrielle is a human female that was abducted by aliens from Earth and then they are saved by different aliens who take them to there beautiful planet called Elysia where the other human females have found mates with the alien men but all I want to do is go home. Jarvian is a Osturan male who has b even kept prisoner and has now been rescued and taken to a planet which turns out is his home world that now has human females living on it and some are mates to his people. And there is one female that seems to be very angry and when she abducts me so I can pilot her back to earth but it starts out ok at first but soon they are running away and trying to stay alive all the while fighting the attraction thats building up between them. There are lol moments and the banter and bickering has you drawn to the pages right up till the very end.

MFC Gabriella has issues and who wouldn’t after being abducted from Earth by aliens then being freed by more aliens and ending up on Elysia with other human abductees and alien rescuers. All she wants is to return to Earth, home.
With that in mind she kidnaps Osturan male Jarvian at gun point to pilot her to Earth and the wild adventure begins.
This was such a good story and I really loved MMC Jarvian who had me laughing at times with his and Gabriella’s banter, and as he told her in fun he will get that stick out of her *bleep*
Plenty of action, slow burn romance, captivating writing and delightful characters sprinkled with fun made Alien Abduction a wonderful Sci-Fi Romance read that’s a definite keeper.

I am so sad that this world is now completed. I never wanted to leave it. I really loved every book. The characters were written in such a way that you connected to them and really felt for them. I loved how they were mated up with aliens that truly complemented them and helped them address their issues. Gabby was a really unlikeable character, but this book really humanized her and brought to light all of her insecurities and made you have real compassion for her. In the end, you wanted to see her heal. I would love for another book to come out, but I will have to settle for the author's other series and hope I love them just as much as Beacon.

Love this book! References to Xena and Green Acres are lovely touches! Paranoid conspiracy theory obsessed human gal takes an alien hostage with a non-working blaster so she can return to Earth and die learns to fully enjoy and experience life with roguish alien male, and, boy, do they live it up, ending up leading a rebellion of enslaved gladiators on another planet before returning to their group of humans/aliens on another planet. There's no place like home as long as it's with your new family!.

A favorite!

I was so excited for Gabby to come out of her mind into reality .
Great book with an male of unlimited patience.
I hope to vet a news letter for when your book on Reagan comes out also it would be great to hear that April gets a forever mate instead of just hook ups. Also maybe a series of finding more humans , maybe in larger groups.
Love every book of this series 😍

Nice

It was a nice story getting to see how such a wounded person could heal. All of us need a little bit of that.

Good read

Jarvian has been abducted by Gabby. She wants to go back to earth and is positive that the aliens here are keeping her prisoner. But she has a lot of learning to do.
