Alien Manhunt 2

Hunted #2

by Jennifer Denys

Planning to let his mates act out their fantasies, Suva takes them to his home planet of Espoornia and lets submissive Taran chase Dominant Greg for a change—with a sneaky scheme to end it all in a marriage ceremony.

But Suva’s plans go awry from the start and one of them is hunted for real. Worried about the one captured being sold or killed, the remaining two have a hard time searching for the other. But then they find themselves in danger, too. Will they escape? Will they ever be free to marry?

About the author

Jennifer is English and lives in a lovely historical city in the UK. Other than writing, her interests include reading (Naturally! She always has at least one book on the go, if not one by her bed, one by the bath, and one in the lounge.), all things historical including genealogy, which she has done for many, many years, watching films (particularly sci-fi), gardening, jigsaw puzzles, and walking. She lives with her pet rabbit who is thoroughly spoilt. Jennifer says she wants to come back as her own rabbit in the next life—unfortunately that would mean she still needs to be alive herself. Maybe there is a time travel story there…

[Serena Yates · Rating 3 out of 5]

The second installment of this naughty threesome in space-opera style is even more fun than the first because there is more information about the three men, and they are now on the Espoornian’s homeworld. The name of the game has changed, but Greg, Suvan, and Taran are in for as many surprises as in book one - just of a different kind. Oh, and if you haven’t read ‘Alien Manhunt 1’, I think you should do so for your entertainment, as well as to avoid seeing spoilers for that first story in this review.

Suva takes the lead in this book, and he wants to introduce his two lovers to his home planet. Not just that, he wants to fulfill Taran’s fantasy of being the dominant partner for once, and to do that, he sets up a manhunt where Greg is the hunted one – just like in the fantasy Taran indulged in before. But Suva is sneaky – he hasn’t told the men he thinks of as his mates that he is telepathic, nor that he plans to make the threesome he hopes for at the end of the hunt fulfill the conditions of an Espoornian marriage ceremony. No wonder Suva is in trouble by the time the others realize what's going on!

Taran is excited to be the dominant partner in this round of play, but there are a few things that Suva has not considered. When things begin to go wrong, Taran isn’t helpless though, after all, Cibattans have certain abilities that stand him in good stead whether he is the hunter or prey.

Greg is more than a little uncomfortable with the prospect of having to submit to Taran at the end of this particular game they are playing. But he is also beginning to realize how much Taran and Suva mean to him, so he is happy to play along. Until it gets serious – and his reactions to Suva’s subterfuge are hilarious.

If you like space opera that doesn’t take itself too seriously, if you enjoy reading about interspecies shenanigans that include some cross-cultural misunderstandings and their consequences, and if you’re looking for a read that is entertaining, hot, and very funny in places, then you will probably like this short story.
