Stolen From Earth #1
Bound to the Marak
Leonie never expected her quiet life as a nurse in London to end with her being abducted by aliens and sold at an intergalactic auction. But when a masked figure shatters the frenzy with a single word and claims her as his own, everything changes.
She’s taken aboard his ship, given luxurious quarters—and watched. Touched only with care, but owned completely. He speaks in a strange, lyrical tongue. He never removes his mask. And yet, his presence wraps around her like gravity.
Leonie doesn’t know who—or what—he truly is. But one thing is he’s not just powerful. He’s dangerous.
As desire begins to blur the line between captor and companion, Leonie must decide if she’s falling under a spell… or stepping into something deeper.
Because whatever he is, he isn’t letting her go.
Not now. Not ever.

Intriguing premise, and the writing at times was quite beautiful. But I have a feeling this could be AI. It needs an editor, its super choppy and there is a lot of repetition in a single chapter, and then chapters repeating but from anothers perspective, but the story like changes despite it just being from another perspective, if that makes sense.

99% sure this was written by AI so I DNFed at 20%

The cover is the best part of this book. I saw it hyped up on a monster smut page and thought woohoo!
Alas no woohoos were to be had.
This is bad. It starts off different and quickly goes into the 'ugh needs an editor' stage. Then I realized no editor could have missed all these issues and no author that had taken the time to read over it could have missed the mistakes either.
Waste of my time.

I can't finish this. The obvious AI in the book makes it incredibly choppy and jarring to read. What is the point of putting out a book this bad?

Seemed like the chapters repeated. He took his mask off twice… and twice she described his looks like she’d seen him for the first time. Even said “I’d thought you’d be ugly” after gasping… the second time she saw him unmasked. Same when he’d touched her.
Also, how my girl go from fearful one second to literally salivating over his calamari looking butt in a second?
Meh, it was like she was trying to practice her description skills and lost the plot. 🤷♀️

I have so many issues with this, I wrote them down as I was reading so enjoy.
Not worth it. Barely any build up to anything. Super choppy. A lot of backtracking. Emotional flip-flopping all over the place. How does this woman randomly know the name of the city on the alien planet? No one's told her any information. Also took 72 pages to find out she was from London? Not great.
He reveals his face so early on and then she's like wow this is a big deal and keeps bringing it up, but like she doesn't even know its an important thing? Like she has no idea he's not allowed to do that. There is literally no information shared with her.
He tells her that he wants her and she just gives in? Right away? Bro. Also, rips off her dress in one chapter, and the next her dress is back, but they're in the same scene. In the part where he rips it off she doesn't say anything but when we switch to his POV she is telling him to go for it. For real, is this AI?

Not sure a human wrote this.
DNF. I’ve never read a book with so many continuity problems. First they’re standing then the text says he stood up. It’s daylight and she can see his city and palace, but then she can also see the moons and the galaxy and stars. He takes her clothes off and two paragraphs later she is clothed again. Suddenly with no explanation he is in a different robe and mask.
Did a human write this book? If so, it’s the worst editing I’ve ever seen.

I got about ten chapters in, and had to DNF it. It was as if the author was having Chat GPT write it just based off the writing style and how it flowed. Couldn’t get past that but maybe that’s just me.

There is no way this wasn’t written by AI. I thought initially when I was reading this it was pretty clear that there was no editor but as the story progressed it felt like there was a weird amount of repetition and inconsistency with some of the plot points. There there was a line that said “I want to see your face when you look at me like that again.” HELLO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN??? the steamy scenes felt like they were written by someone that had a second hand understanding of how sex functioned. This was just bad all around.

Dnf @ 36%
Another dnf for me. This, I hope, is an issue of it being a first book written by this author and not an AI project. I’m hoping it’s the former because the book had promise. The writing digressed rapidly after the first couple of chapters.
One thing: the cover is lovely. Looks like the same style of the artist that designed Emma Hamm’s Whispers of the Deep. But it looks AI. The two mc’s look like they were drawn by different people.
It’s obvious the book isn’t edited, which I understand especially if it’s a new writer bc that can cost a lot.
But bad continuity issues would have been caught by someone just re-reading their own book.
Flat dialogue. One chapter the mmc knows the fmc’s name, the next he does not. One chapter ends with her sitting in a chair then getting up rapidly from it, then the next chapter begins with her still in the chair.
Since it’s dual POV I tried to give benefit of the doubt, maybe the chapter starts a little bit before the last one ended so we could see the other mc’s POV on the situation..
But then the inane dialogue finally got to me. And the fact that it seems like the book wanted to be erotica and also romance genre at the same time, and it clashed the vibe. Which just made it odd.
I hate throwing around assumptions of AI use in writing. Because people are really quick to accuse others of its use BUT… if it wasn’t AI written then maybe the author needs to read a lot more romance books to understand what reading a romance story is supposed to be like.
I know some authors don’t read outside of their own work. But there’s a reason it’s important to do so. It’s part of research and honing the craft. You can sense the disconnect.
Lord have mercy.

update: I initially gave two stars because there is a SLIGHT chance it isn’t AI generated and the author just needs beta/alpha readers BUT after thinking about it I realized two stars was too kind. This is obviously AI and I'd swallow rocks if you proved me otherwise.
I am 90% sure the second half (if not more) is AI slop. Scenes are repeated, contradictory actions are constant (ex: he tore off her dress but then the next scene it’s still on? She gasps at his face but he hasn’t taken his mask off yet?), and things happen out of order.
It’s a shame because the premise is great and some of the writing in the beginning is beautiful.

I'd eat a broom sideways if you could convince me this wasn't AI written... The idea had potential, but was executed poorly. Disjointed and repetitive. DNF'd around 50%

I’m not even going to waste my time and critique all the things wrong with this book since it’s clearly written by AI. Don’t support this nonsense.
June 25, 2025
I truly have to believe this is AI or else I will lose my faith in humanity. Chapters were out of place, character names were bolded, action happened multiple times over as though it didn’t happen the previous page, and there were so many plot holes.

I gave this book my unfettered and undivided attention. I literally had nothing in my mind BUT this book while reading it. So. Here we go.
This book wanted to do something genre breaking so badly. It's written like a romance plot, but in a 'this is serious sci-fi, give me a general fiction category please' way. It felt deliberately reachy...but somewhat whiny at the same time, and that felt very interesting and is the reason I kept reading.
But it's just...a lot of words for little pay dirt. It's so verbose. The runs-ons alone would make my eighth grade English teacher weep. It was so incredibly annoying to read considering how flowery the descriptions felt. But when you added up all the paragraphs, very little [new] information played out. I wanted to like it, but I just...didn't.
I made it 55% of the way in, but the repetition was so overwhelming. The same digital page would have the same point repeated (in different ways--kinda') two times, and I was so over it.
115: "Just… storm. It was like staring into the night sky before lightning tore it open. She felt the storm inside him—radiating from his body in waves."
116: "Somewhere far away, the wind howled through the palace’s walls. But here, in his arms, in his bed, she was wrapped in the eye of the storm."
117: "Outside, through the transparent domed ceiling above his bed, she saw the first spirals of cloud gathering in the otherwise clear Luxari sky.
A storm was coming."
119: "The storm still rumbled distantly, a low, sullen echo of the one that had passed—both in the sky and in his blood."
THIS IS NOT INCLUDING all the sentences where she says he's 'a force,' 'intense,' 'powerful' and 'ozone' and 'she's under his control' --really it's A LOT. For such a small section of story? It was dumb. Trust me. The whole book's stacked like that. It fails to be novel, interesting or fun to read when you're bludgeoned with the point each and every chapter.
All in all, couldn't keep going, it just feels inauthentic and weird in a bad way. Then seeing a few other reviewers mentioning AI? While I don't necessarily know what to look for (in writing) to call it that--it would make TOTAL sense to me if this IS how that looks.
It was like someone gargled telling a good story. And meh. I feel bad, but that is what it is.

Wow!! Loved it!! Romantic— but not typical— sweet without being usual!! Loved the alien— so very different but fascinating— captivating!! Can’t wait to read the next one!!
June 28, 2025
I seriously think this needed an editor. Such a great concept though.
June 8, 2025
This book read like it had many different iterations that got smooshed into one, losing all semblance of continuity. When he was first watching her, he used her name but then later asked her her name. She heard his "boots" yet he has tentacles. She suddenly knew the name of the planet and the city even though no one told her anything. He wanted to see her without "earth-made" fabrics yet she hadn't been in Earth clothes since she was first abducted. When the POV switched between characters, the story didn't match up. Those were just the ones that popped into my head first, but DNF'ed at 50%. For this kind of genre, I know there is a level of suspending reality and not looking at the plot too closely but the inconsistencies made it impossible to enjoy.

I Enjoyed this story
I did read the reviews….. and decided to read it anyway. There was a negative review that said she quit reading early on and cited why. I do agree theres a part that talks of her clothes being removed and shes naked but then is followed by him moving up her thigh under her dress?
But over all I did enjoy the story line and was glad I read it. Basically the editor failed before printing. :-(

She Was Abducted… and So Was the Plot
Whew. Okay. Let’s get into it.
The cover? Stunning. Gave me high hopes. Gave sci-fi romance with purpose. It’s literally what made me click download. The first chapter? Also promising. I thought, “Okay, here we go. We’re about to get swept away into a whole new world.”
But… somewhere around 36% through, I realized I was more confused than captivated. Everything felt rushed—like we skipped the entire part where we get to know the characters. There’s a man, there’s a woman, and apparently there’s tension between them, but I don’t know either of them enough to care. And the woman? SHE WAS KIDNAPPED. But somehow she’s intrigued because he keeps leaning toward her?? Ma’am??
Where is the build-up? The suspense? The plot? I kept waiting for something deeper—some real stakes, some world-building, anything—and instead, I got this moment:
“Why?” she asked. “Why go to all this trouble for a human?”
His voice dropped. “Because you are rare. Because you didn’t break. Because you are not afraid to look at me.”
What in the multiverse does that even mean?? At that point, I closed the book.
This story had so much potential. The concept was intriguing. The aesthetic? Giving. But the execution? Flat. I didn’t feel the emotional pull, the danger, or the purpose. I’m actually disappointed that I’m this disappointed.
I wanted to root for this book. I really did. But right now, it’s a DNF (Did Not Finish) for me.

Sorry, but this entire thing was absolute garbage and if you think otherwise, please read an ACTUAL BOOK and then come back here and try again.
You cannot convince me that this book was not written using an AI generated computer program. It’s so blatantly obvious that it’s almost comedic.
I DNF’d this book at less than 40%, yet even that much left me with PAGES of notes on the atrocities, inconsistencies and horrendous writing that I was subjected to.
The descriptions in this being a whole lot of nothing,
The non existent character establishment,
The skips in setting,
The drastic changes in action that are inconsistent with prior scenes and sentences,
The sheer laziness that was the writing.
I could rant for HOURS!
The existence of this book is an insult to authors who actually write their books instead of using a computer program to write it for them.

IM LIKE 99.99999 PERCENT SURE ITS ALL AI GENERATED!!!!!!??!!?
-
Read it thinking, wow this is rough but ya know writing is hard. Things made no sense, chapters felt out of place and the voice was in third person trying to be first person. Cut to me reading reviews and people are saying its AI generated. I follow up with my research and it is definitely AI generated.
First off, the cover is AI generated so that should've been the first ping of 🤨 (insert emoji showing distrust).
Secondly, the characters are big ol nothing burgers. Girl gets snatched by aliens and takes it weirdly well. Alien king thing is big n hot. That's all. The girl has a dog I guess if you can call that a personality.
Thirdly, the intimacy scenes??? Wattpad smut looks like Shakespeare compared to this. Most AI, if you don't know, have filters to prevent actual "naughty" words, or words that are just anatomically correct. This is definitely what happened in this book. Leading to me re-reading scenes asking "wait, what is going where??"
Fourthly, and the most telling. If the above doesn't convince you that this waste of time is 99.9999999999 percent AI generated, try looking up the "author".
Is there a site? No. Is there a picture of the author? No. At the end of the book can you go to a crazy sketchy emailing list page that has no information but asks for your info and if you want your email in html or plain-text format?✨ YeS ✨. Can you find anything about this author's actual being? No. And I get it, Internet be scary. But I have never heard of just nothing from an author. A fake name sure, but like absolutely nothing? No bio, no thank you reader, no written "Thanks dad for always believing me" in the beginning of the book? Instead a weirdly (also prolly AI) written "About the Author" section after experiencing that social experiment of a book that describes any romance author ever.
Quote from that "About the Author" section I kid you not.
"When she's not writing, she's probably out riding her bike, bingeing crime dramas, or thinking about her next story."
PROBABLY? Girl, you wrote this??? Like do you know? Or is some robot writing something about a made up person? I'm leaning towards the latter.
"She's (author) fascinated by power dynamics, emotional tension, and the idea of love in the most unexpected places."
Yes, duh. Its romance??? Like that is the most generic explanation of why people like fantasy romance.
Long story short, I made myself more upset actually thinking about this. This review is stupid long now my bad. It's not a short book either, which makes me more upset. And I didn't know it was AI coming into it, and I try to give every book a chance so I actually wasted eye sight trying to read this. I could've read like two Katee Robert books instead of this mess.
Negative however many stars in the universe out of five. BOOOOOO 🍅🍅🍅

Went into this even after seeing the negative reviews because I thought it’s only 190pages….how bad can it be?
Well I’m either a masochist or very optimistic.
The inconsistencies prevented me from staying fully immersed in the story and I kept rolling my eyes every time I saw them.
- One minute she’s already standing then the next she was sitting and jolted out her chair
- She was released from her restraints in the previous chapter but then she talks about the restraints again like she wasn’t released before
- He had already touched her with his tentacles but next chapter she’s saying her never touched her with them
- He used her name before then asks her and spoke as if he didn’t know it
- She already knew things (the planet’s name, Karian’s house colours, name of the species) without being told
- Karian undressed her then the next thing she’s dressed again and he talks about removing Earth made clothes. She wasn’t in Earth clothes since chapter 1 or 2
If I see or hear the word silk one more time, I’m gonna crash out. Also I know this is a short book but the 2 page chapters really annoyed me. I can see why many reviews stated this was AI because it definitely felt that way, it was choppy and overly descriptive in some parts but dull for the spicy scene. This is reflective of AI as it refrains from overly sexual words and instead uses mild suggestive language.
I must say, I did enjoy how Karian treated her and the book had a great premise but the execution was poor which is disappointing to say the least. Should I have listened to the reviews? Yeah probably but I don’t hate the book per se (maybe since it’s so short) so that may count for something idk.

- He had already touched her with his tentacles but next chapter she’s saying her never touched her with them
- He used her name before then asks her and spoke as if he didn’t know it
- She already knew things (the planet’s name, Karian’s house colours, name of the species) without being told
- Karian undressed her then the next thing she’s dressed again and he talks about removing Earth made clothes. She wasn’t in Earth clothes since chapter 1 or 2
If I see or hear the word silk one more time, I’m gonna crash out. Also I know this is a short book but the 2 page chapters really annoyed me. I can see why many reviews stated this was AI because it definitely felt that way, it was choppy and overly descriptive in some parts but dull for the spicy scene. This is reflective of AI as it refrains from overly sexual words and instead uses mild suggestive language.
I must say, I did enjoy how Karian treated her and the book had a great premise but the execution was poor which is disappointing to say the least. Should I have listened to the reviews? Yeah probably but I don’t hate the book per se (maybe since it’s so short) so that may count for something idk.

horrible. Es el peor libro que me he leído en el año.
La autora tiene una OBSESIÓN con la palabra "control" todo es "estaba controlado, energía controlada, su control, él estaba en control, furia controlada"... BASTA!
Los saltos de tiempo son una locura, no sabes si lo que estás leyendo es algo que ya pasó o está pasando, porque de repente te regresa al pasado y narra más detalladamente todo y luego regresas al punto inicial... es muy abrumador.
Las narraciones saltan de primera a tercera persona y es difícil entender que, quien y cómo se está narrando.
La historia tiene muchos errores que literalmente son básicos, detalles que dio en un capítulo anterior son modificados en el siguiente capítulo, no es consistente con ciertos puntos y eso lo hace confuso.
Realmente la historia prometía, pero todo el contenido es horrible. Lo siento, no me gusta esa palabra, pero me COSTÓ una eternidad poder leerlo (y eso que lo deje de lado al 70% pero es que ya no podía más, me sangraron los ojos)

December 16, 2025Trope: alien and human, captor/captive, kidnapping
Characters: Leonie and Karian
DNFd around 76%, I started getting bored around the 50% point of this book. All this book is essentially, is the heroine getting kidnapped by bad aliens, getting bought by a Royal alien with tentacles and then them doing weird freaky alien sex.
I felt like this story was too weird for me, I prefer the aliens to be more humanoid for me to suspend my reality. Also while this story was written well, I didn’t feel any emotions with this book. I didn’t feel any buildup with the characters, they barely got to know each other before they were touching their naughty bits. I needed more relationship buildup, and this book wasn’t long enough to have that.

Leoni is out walking her dog one day when she is abducted by aliens. While in their custody, she is sold to the Marak – a ruling alien creature with tentacles who wears a mask and is feared by many. As the two of them spend time together, it's very clear that there is something there between them.
I'm going to keep this brief because I really have nothing positive to say about this book. I couldn't pay attention to it via audio because I felt like I was listening to the same things over and over again, and from going through a lot of the reviews on Goodreads of people who actually physically read this they are saying the same thing so I know I'm not crazy. There was no build up to the romance, it just kind of happened, but my issue was with the continuity and the flow – nothing made sense. I hate to be one of those people to say it just in case it's not true, but with the amount of issues in just the writing structure alone and the lack of any editing (even a read through would have solved most of them), it’s clear if a human wrote this, they never reread their work to see if it was good or if it makes sense. Now I don't want to accuse anyone of just using AI to write something, but this very much felt like an AI written book because of the way it was written.

I kept getting jarred from the story because of the inconstincies. He knows her name for some reason but then a little later he asks her name the first time. she's standing then sitting again a few paragraphs later. she knows the name of the people and planet without ever being told that info. she's naked then dressed again.

DNF bc im 90% sure this was written with AI and once i had that first thought it wouldn’t leave me alone because the whole thing is the same cadence repeated over and over and I tried pushing through because maybe it’s just how this person writes but uh…no
I didn’t read the reviews before starting it, so I wasn’t aware this is a common experience of readers with this book 🫠
