Alien Attraction

The Kalpattaans #1

by Alice Cain

Reece just wanted to spend one uninterrupted picnic with his husband, Nathan. A huge blue-green man falling from the sky and crushing their car was not on the menu, but getting shot in the back when he tries to help is the last thing Reece expected.
Jaak is having a strange day. Not only did the humans try to kill him using an old-fashioned hand grenade, but the man who attempted to treat his injuries is now fighting for his life. Jaak can't just leave the human behind to die, but a blood transfusion with a Kalpattaan means more than just saving the guy's life.
How on Earth is Jaak going to explain to Basten, the man he's loved for years, a man he's never quite gotten around to marrying, that he's not only bonded to someone else, but that his new husband also came with a husband of his own as well?

“Alien Attraction” is definitely on the border between erotica and romance, but it’s a ménage so that’s to be expected. Although the plot is a little light, the characters are well thought-out and the story procession is realistic. The aliens have their own genetic differences, which I found really interesting, and obviously some thought had been put into them. For example, the colour is due to a slightly different atmosphere/sun and colours range from light to dark depending on where they live, just like humans on Earth), and the species naturally forms triads of two males and a female because it is needed for procreation (I'll let you discover why).

I enjoyed the realism of the characters’ reactions and the fact that the mate-bond was handled well and not fated. And I found the reasons for the humans not being returned to Earth were reasonable and reasons I’d probably come up with myself in the same situation.

Overall, “Alien Attraction” is a nice light read when I need a light sci-fi. Ms Cain writes well and I found that I had finished before I realised I was even halfway through. Definitely recommended if you want something light to read that verges on erotica but isn't.

I have read Ms Cain’s Lupinville series, which I found to be less erotic and have more of a story, but even so, “Alien Attraction” is still permanently on my ereader.

3.5 stars
Needed a bit more background context...like why are some humans fighting the aliens.
Reese and Nathan needed some alone time since both were so busy with their careers. When Jaak drops in on them...they become forever bound together. Basten doesn't really know where he'll fit in; but thankfully love wins out.

This was a good romance gay story. Way better than I expected it to be. I definitely will read the next book in the series.

[Bookbee]

This really needs an editor's touch... names were switched regularly plus other less substantial grammatical errors.

Liked it very much, on the way to Book 2.

I am a big fan of alien romance stories, and I am a fan of this author. I enjoyed this book quite a bit. When an accident brought about by Jaak running from the military who were trying to kill him lead to Reece and Nathan being almost killed trying to help a stranger caused all of them being tied to each other and made Basten feel like he lost everything. In reality, it brought all of them together and led to a complete love that each couple separately didn't know they were missing. Good read.

I really enjoyed this book. This author is new to me so I was pleasantly surprised. The sex was hot! I'm wondering if this is going to be a series. I would love to read about everyone again.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this story. When compared to stories of a similar nature, this one fares well. I'll be adding next one in the series to my TBR.
