I've read this book many times now and it never loses its appeal.
It is your typical Alien abducts Earth girl scenario, except a bunch of girls get grabbed and neither of them can communicate with each other.
This story is about how these very different people learn to communicate, learn to trust and fall in love all whilst foiling the American military and Government. And how to terraform Mars, marsaform just doesn't sound right. LOL.
Bree is an ordinary girl in farm belt America when an alien pod descends on her farmhouse and starts dismantling it. The military quickly descends on her place as well and they end up doing more damage.
Galen, head of the aliens spots Bree and immediately wants her for his own. Unknowingly, she is tagged, which helps in her later abduction.
I enjoy Angelique Anjou's writing and wish she would do more of it.

Rape should never be condoned. If someone puts you in a situation where you have no choice then it is rape. It does not matter how "gentle" they were are if your body responds. A person has rights over their body. If those rights are infringed upon that is wrong.
I could not get past the point where women were kidnapped then forced to have sex with men to find anything good about the story. It is force if someone limits your clothes to a skirt with no underwear, picks you and flies away with you, then while you are holding on for dear life, penetrates you.
NO, NO, NO
The reason I can not condone the story is that the author tries to put a pleasant spin on something unpleasant.

I have this story (same cover too), but it is now listed on Amazon as being by Kaitlyn O'Connor, so I am assuming that Angelique Anjou is one of her many pen names.
No matter - I enjoyed the story, and the writing was classic Kaitlyn! :-)
This could have been a kick-off for a neat little series...

This author will always give me something interesting. Alien bridenapping!
My enjoyment of this story was reduced by unnecessary profanity and the stupidity/evil nature of earth men. Some typos, including capitalizing the word goosebumps. A few loose ends
This has book intros at the end that are 1/6 of the total pages.

DNF. A bunch of women are kidnapped, has their clothes stolen while they were in the shower and then given only skirts, then flown up and suddenly penetrated to have mid air sex with no consent (or foreplay for that matter) in a big public ceremony and then their skirts flipped up to display the cum as proof of the job done, All without understanding the language or what was going on the same day they all had been snatched from earth. Apparently this isn’t rape because they all enjoyed it….WTF! The main character even berated another female character who is made out to be a bitch for calling it rape. The female characters are constantly having a go at each other being extremely judgmental too. I could get past the mass rape if there was recognition it was rape with corresponding torn feeling and some recognition eventually from the male characters of the wrongness done but nope…

This was a "just right" length of story for me, though it still felt kinda rushed near the end and some things left just to wonder about, like two of the men took two women each, who took them? Who bound with them at the ceremony? There was no mention of these and that kinda frustrated me a lot of the way through.
I do enjoy a story where the Heroine wasn't a whiner, or an arrogant b*tch so I really liked Bree. I liked the thought put into how to understand/translate a language unknown instead of just "the translator figured it out" there was actual effort put into it.
All in all, if I hadn't been left hanging with a few questions this would have been a 5 star read for me.

Abduction romance that starts at 83 percent
This abduction romance starts after the bonus content at 83 percent. They don't understand each other so the two points of view help in understanding the characters thoughts and feelings. It has a HEA. There are multiple typos.
Mature content
The bonus content is heavy on BDSM.

Meh.
This book feels dated. I likely would have loved it when it first came out. Now, not so much. Definitely consent issues among others.
Getting to the point where I can just about predict what will happen and certain phrases her male characters always use "gods damned" etc. are really starting to grate on my nerves. And! So! MANY! Exclamation points!

This book was something I found sitting in a file on my computer so I don't know where it came from. I had to look up the synopsis when I found it to see if it was something I would even read and I added it to this month's Book It because I liked the idea of aliens invading earth. We need something better to happen than for politicians to just muck shit up.
Whenever I read a book by someone I have never read before or no one I have spoken to or follow has mentioned I consider it a crap shoot. I totally scored with this book. Galen is a Valaran who has been forced to choose between imprisonment and being sent into another solar system to colonize a new planet. He chose to leave and has been on his ship for years looking for a new home when he enters the galaxy he had set course for at the beginning of his trip only to find that the planet he had in his sights is no longer there. Instead he looks to the third planet in that solar system and lands his scout ship into the peach orchard of Bree Denton, one pissed off and beautiful human who is offended by the ship in her orchard, the military taking over her land and the fact she doesn't have pants on and no one will allow her into her home to get any on.
Once Galen sees Bree he claims the pink human with beguiling mammaries as his own. Only thing his the planet he sent his scout to seems to have advanced lifeforms and possess a higher intellect than he and his crew assumed and his scout and his woman were being greeted by force. When he sends a hologram of himself to Earth to communicate and explain that he doesn't mean harm and was only looking for a place to colonize only his mate understands him and the soldiers become more aggressive. On Bree's side though she is looking at a big beautifully built creature with beautiful wings who can't speak her language but looks like he wants to take a taste of her about as much as she wants a nibble of him.
The story is very fictional with as many "That wouldn't happen moments" as Rambo and Armageddon but I am telling you that for the few seconds it bristled I enjoyed the simple science fiction of it all and the idea of the interspecies confusion and "Mars needs women" aspect. Galen, which is the least name from a galaxy far, far, away name you could come up with, is really kinda like a sweet jackass who thinks with his dick--which seems to be a universal male trait. I liked the supporting characters and I only wished that there was a second book that continued the Draken story.

This is a solid Kaitlyn O'Connor read. There's the usual endless back-and-forth babbling in the characters' minds, the second guessing of everything, the ignoring of obvious signs, and the usual bitchy women and political and atheistic rantings that we all know feature in basically all of her books. What sets this book apart - probably due to it being one of her first - is that the hero and heroine get equal exposure, and the complete ending. For once I was not dismayed at the abrupt ending of a Kaitlyn O'Connor book. It's a miracle!
I wouldn't say this book is necessarily worth the $6 they're asking for, but it was highly enjoyable.

So, lets just stop a really good story at 80% and piss everyone off, hmmm? I liked the hero, I liked the heroine, the world building was extensive and the plot had two themes running through in addition to the alien romance and then, wtf, just ends and cuts to an epilogue. I have heard similar comments before regarding Ms O'C's work, so I won't be buying another which is a big shame. If she had continued the conflict with Earth's government and the threatened riot, it would have been a great novel.

Five Stars!
This book really caught my attention. I had been wanting to read it a long time ago, but couldn't find it at my local library. I finally found it on Amazon and got to read it for myself. I really enjoyed this book, it really keeps you interested in what will happen to Bree and the other former Earth girls and their handsome Draconian male counterparts. Definitely worth a read!

4 stars until just the end, when it suddenly cut of without resolving any of the open plot threads
So I'll give it 3 stars and that is still generous considering how disappointed I was by the abrupt ending. I would understand if it were the beginning of a series, but it is supposed to be a stand alone

Still smiling
This book was very interesting. I think it focused a little too much on the time before the Earth women decided to stay with the Valarians. I enjoyed the last part the best. Especially when the Earth women accepted their mates. I wished that more of the book could have shown the continuing of the settlement that led to the very last part.

Totally loved this book, even on the second time reading. A good example of how cultures and lack of communication can cause misunderstandings and unease. Plenty to make me keep reading and want to finish. Enough to make me chuckle here and there which is what I like. Great book and thoroughly enjoyed every chapter.

Really enjoyable!
I very much enjoyed this book, a refreshingly different take on the aliens abducting humans trope. The only negative thing in my opinion was the cover. I felt it was weird looking, and didn't seem to match the lead character at all. Still gave it 5 stars because the book itself was great!

This is not your typical aliens invade earth, they just invade the solar system. It is a funny read. Didn't like the abruptness towards the end of the book and there seemed to be several loose threads but an easy way to pass a few hours.

The usual Kaitlyn O'Connor space romance - fun if you like her writing.

A cute sci-fi romance, with some erotic parts. A nice light book, perfect for my current mood.

I liked this sci-fi romance. It was a unique story with aliens and earthlings. The characters were likeable and I enjoyed the story.

I enjoyed the book and would like to read more. I love heroes with wings. The book did feel a bit rushed toward the end.

Enjoyed the world-building and colony aspects but as many reviewers have said, it does just end and there's no resolution to a big part of it.
