2.5 stars
I know I rated it two stars, but don't be thinking that it was horrible or that I was bored because I wasn't. It was just short. Apparently, this was how the couple, human Andie and alien Xander, met and Book 1 is their story. Not sure if I will read Book 1, maybe if it's free?
I got this book as an email Kindle sent me of books I may like. This happened to be free, so I purchased & read it.
Basically, Andie was captured 6 years ago from Earth. An escaped convict, Xander, enters her work area (still not sure why though tbh) and they escape from the city & eventually the planet.
Since it's so short, they do not fall in love by the end of it, but there's the promise of a new relationship between them.
This was very slight on the romance, so don't read this book if you're looking for a romance! It had more of an adventure.

Tough choice: Live in a dictatorship, or risk escape with a handsome alien
I’ll say up front that this is not the kind of book I usually read. I enjoy sci-fi, and will happily read a romance, but the combination of the two has always struck me as a bit strange. I have seen plenty of them around, usually with a cover showing a buff guy with something just slightly different to mark him out as an alien. In this case, the buff guy on the cover has purple skin. Despite some trepidation, I was determined to read this book in my quest to expand my horizons and find new genres and authors to enjoy.
The story starts with main character Andie Munster, originally from Earth, having been abducted by aliens, sold and put to work in the city of Ixilta on some faraway planet. Life is strictly controlled with the ever-present threat of violence or death from overenthusiastic guards. Despite this, Andie generally manages to keep it together, suppresses her desire to return home, and is resigned to living out her life in this foreign land. This carefully constructed life is thrown into chaos when prison escapee Xandr crashes into her life. Andie has seen how badly the guards react to any hint of disobedience, and even just being in the same place as a fugitive would be enough to bring pain and death. There is no safe course of action, but Andie sees something about Xandr which tips the scales, so she decides to go on the run with him, in the slim hope that he might help her escape from the brutal city which has become her home.
As a romance story this is really just the barest introduction. I haven’t read enough of this kind of book to know whether a burly purple alien using his strength to force his way into your workplace counts as a “meet cute”, but the way that Andie’s attraction to Xandr grows, along with her doubts, is fun to watch, as is his confusion when she finally makes her move. I was impressed that, despite the lack of freedom in the basic setup of the story, there is still a real sense that Andie is making her own choices, and not just being powelessly carried along by the narrative. Although we, as readers, can see where it is going, it’s not so clear to Andie, and several times she seriously considers handing Xandr over to the Ixilta authorities, despite the risk.
As a sci-fi story I’m less sure. There are several major world-building issues which are ignored or glossed over in order to keep the action and romance moving. The most significant one to me is the issue of language. Andie is from Earth, presumably from the USA as she mentions that she “could almost forget that she wasn't in a dingy apartment in Atlanta”. I’m guessing, therefore, that she grew up speaking English. I find it hard to imagine that English is a language spoken by the wide range of alien peoples who populate the city of Ixilta, or anywhere else in the galaxy other than our backwater planet, so how does Andie communicate. Is there a common language, a “lingua galactica”? If there is, how did Andie learn it - there’s no mention of this, and it would have been a major issue for the first few years of her time on this new world if she had had to do it the traditional way. Of course, this is a sci-fi world, so it is entirely possible that there is a hand-waving technological answer to this issue, but sadly we don’t even get that in this book. This feels like a missed opportunity to flesh out the characters with something like “Andie’s head began to ache again. She had had this enough that she recognised it by now. Xandr was speaking a language that she had never encountered before, and the cheap translator device that the pirates had drilled into her head was running hot as it absorbed all the new words”. The other issue is the city itself. Despite the claim that “Ixilta was made up of dozens of alien races” everything just seems so ordinary. Again this feels like a missed opportunity for a few small bits of description. Even something as simple as a doorway designed for different sizes and shapes of people would add a tinge of alienness. Sadly, just sticking a few Xs into the names does not really make it feel alien.
Despite my concerns about world-building, I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. The interplay between the two characters is fun, the setting and the idea are intriguing, the structure is satisfying, and the story serves as a good introduction to a further series.

This was a very short introduction into what promises to be an exciting series! Andie was captured and sold as a worker on the plant Ixilta where she has worked for 6 years. It wasn’t a great life, but she knew it could be so much worse. She did her work as teleporter of goods to space, but she had no chance of escape and the curfew and strict rules she had to follow to remain safe gave her no kind of hopeful life. She had no hope of ever escaping and had resigned herself to a dull day-by-day existence.
Then one day, Xandr comes into her life. She sees he is in a prison uniform and remembers that she had not locked the door after she had lunch. As she raced to it, he did as well. The two of them fought with the door handle and he was able to push his way inside. He tells her she is coming with him and he takes them to an empty building to wait out the night out of the guards’ sight. Because she helped him, he tells her he will get her outside of the city’s borders. His crew will be coming to rescue him now that he is outside of the heavily-guarded city. He kept all his promises to her, and she says there is one more thing she needs – and she kisses him eagerly. When he kisses her back, deepening the kiss further, she is convinced that whatever future lies ahead, she wants to face it with him as part of his crew. Will she really risk everything for an unknown future?
This was an absolutely terrific book, the story line so good that it draws the reader eagerly along at its breakneck pace. Xandr is a force to be reckoned with, his personality full of confidence and courage. Andie, though she considers herself “beaten down”, still has a spark inside of her that calls to Xandr and makes him determined to save her too. This book is the start of a very promising adventure as part of Xandr’s outlaw gang, which surprisingly appears to follow a set of rules that keeps them honorable despite their profession. I really loved the story and have every intention of following the rest of this exciting series! Grab your copy and see if it convinces you to come along on their new adventures! Join the crew and find the excitement you are looking for!

Ya can't keep a good Earth girl down...
When Andie got kidnapped by aliens, she ended up on a planet called Ixilta. The local nabob of the city greeted her and her fellow victims with assurances of food, shelter, and an opportunity to become independent and productive citizens of their new home. Well, alrighty! Then one of the former (?) kidnappees asked when they could go home -as in "back to Earth" - and they offed the guy. Pfftt, So... She's been a "productive member of the community" - translate "thoroughly cowed captive" for six stinking years, when one day, at the end of her shift, this big purple dude shows up. The rest, as they say, is history - or it will be as Kate Rudolph lends her talent for action/adventure romance to the upcoming series Alien Outlaws. Xander, the first hero in this short and salty-sweet prequel, is an Oscavian, a smuggler/renegade/rebel on a mission, escaped from Ixilta's prison, and in need of a way off-planet. The harder Andie tries to stay out of it, the more he draws her in, to danger, to freedom, and to him... I LOVE this! Ms. Rudolph's Detyan/Oscavian universe continues and expands, with a new alien focus, a new planetary location, and and presumingly, an all new set of Earthgirls who will meet their forever aliens.... If you've read her tales of the Detyan Diaspora, get set for a switch-up. This promises to be new and different, starting with the sullen and rebellious Andi, and the improbably huge (think what you will) and amusingly badass Xander, who is a totes adorbs mash-up of Han Solo, GI Joe, and Tigger. Gad, he had me drooling! AND GRINNING! And wanting more, more, MORE! Thank you, Ms. Rudolph, for the qjuickie five-star read. And for the ARC.

Andie was abducted from Earth over 6 years ago. She has managed to eke out a living on her new "home" planet. But she is still essentially prisoner, after all no one can leave and if you cause trouble- well you disappear.
But her boring, though somewhat safe, existence is dented when a huge, purple alien pops into her workplace. He literally comes from nowhere!
Xander is an Oscavian (yes I know they are usually the bad guys but give him a break - he's actually a nice guy!) Think purple Han Solo! Andie gets him off the planet but has she traded one form of slavery for another?
Xander is awesome - I need one of him please! He is a hoot, even though he is playing fast and loose with Andi's life!

Xandr makes one heck of a first impression
We never get a chapter from Xandr’s perspective, yet through his behavior he shows so much of himself that we feel like we got to know him equally well.
Andie has spent 6 years trapped in Ixilta, and while she has dreamed of finding a way out, she has convinced herself it is impossible... until Xandr storms in to her life, and forces his will, and ideas on her.
This is clearly marked as book 1, and as such is a quick read, self contained introduction to two characters. I suspect in some ways this will feel like interesting backstory to the rest of the series, but it did not have a cliffhanger ending or anything that makes it feel like you have to read this before the next book.

Solid start to what looks like it's going to be a fun series. Because alien outlaws are always fun, RIGHT? And despite being incarcerated for murder (a justified murder, in my opinion), Xandr seems like a pretty decent guy. On the other hand, Andie barely got to know him before throwing her lot in with him, so MAYBE THINGS WILL TAKE A TURN.
But I don't think so. I think he's a decent guy who has a teeny problem with authority and maybe a secret or two he doesn't want to share with his crew or new lady.
TIME WILL TELL. (And, yes, I am eyeballing the rest of the series because this set-up story whetted my appetite.)

Andie has been kidnapped from earth and taken into space and sold. She lives and works there She is constantly worried about curfew and going under the radar of the cruel and wicked aliens who own her. She feels that she has lost herself because she doesn’t want to be there but beaten down and too afraid because of the vicious and mostly fatal punishments that she sometimes sees metered out keep her cowered. One day she is surprised by an alien invader, an escaped prisoner, into her work space. Fear keeps her quiet because she should call for help but this does not guarantee her safety from the captors. He speaks with command and not like a prisoner. Fearful for her life
that is in his hands, she remains silent when he takes her with him. Exciting, fearful and angst filled.

Xandr is an Ailen Robin Hood. He killed someone who deserves it and sent to a prison. He escaped, I do not know how because that was never explained, but now he is on the run. When he meets Andie she is become placid with her life. She was abducted from Earth, again I do not know how, and after a beating she witnessed in the street she learned not to ask questions and not to think for herself.
This was a very short read and I did not learn anything. I hope that the next book in this story tells me more about Xandr and Andie. I want to know who they are and what makes them tick. I want to know more about their background. Everything is superficial and they both seem one-dimensional.

providing an honest review after receiving a complementary copy from the author via BookFunnel.
this was a introduction or prequel to a series, It was not interesting enough for me to want to get the next book.
This book contained a lot of running and escaping and did not get any romance going until the last few pages.
I am not sure how the romance started they were running they get away and out of no where she kisses him, and then they are both into each other?
Just did not feel much connection between the two characters. This book contained way more action the romance/sex guess I just prefer books the other way around.

Trust is a major issue...
Trust is a major issue especially when you've been a slave for 6 years. Andie was taken by slave traders n sold to the Ixiltans. The slave collar was removed but "free" is just an idea. One that can cause pain or death. So Andie has learned to stay "out of the radar" of the guards n the blood thirsty government.
XandR .had been in prison for 2 months when he surprisingly shows up at the station where Andie works.
She's terrified at first, but he seems kind n sweet, not like other prisoners. She decides to trust him . Maybe he can help her escape this hell so she can return to Earth.

Slow burn and a nice build up 3.5🌠
This book had a very nice build up of the characters at 1st I thought it was a stand alone but now I see it's a series, and I can see why the author took so much time to build up the characters and they're getting to know each other and their romance.There's not a lot of romance in this romance novel but it does begin to bloom and you do see things from Andie's point of you, just not so much from Xyander's. I'm interested in finding out more about them both and where the story is gonna go and what adventure is there have.

June 23, 2020Abrupt ending, with the heroine completely changing personalities in the blink of an eye. This is my first book by this author, I hope the others have differing POVs because it's too hard to figure out what the guy is thinking with the descriptions, and obviously more fleshed-out characters. This did give a nice exciting little glimpse into the universe and what *could* be though so I'm going to try some of her other books - not this series though because I see that Xandr and Abie or whatever her name is story is split over 4 books and I despise that. That only works for LOTR.

January 5, 2020A short beginning to this series.
A short excellent beginning to this series. A little too short for me, but I purchased and read the "Alien Outlaws: The Complete Series" and loved the storyline. If you read this as individual books, the end of the third is a cliffhanger so you might as well purchase the entire series. I highly recommend it. Aliens, lovers, sex, betrayal and intrigue this story has everything.

This was okay.
Rogue Alien's Escape is the prequel to how these two characters meet in book 1. I was getting really into the worldbuilding and getting to know these two characters, but the ending just seemed rushed and it didn't make sense to me. I didn't understand why these two characters were already attracted to each other, but I do own book 1 and I plan on reading it soonish.

Andie's alien
Brilliant story which I totally enjoyed and would thoroughly recommend hoping that others enjoy it as much as I did. Andie was abducted from Earth and sold to work on a planet. Six years of trying to stay under the radar working and just surviving. Her life is about to change when an escaped alien comes into the area where she works and she goes with him. Can she really escape and what should she do? Read and find out.

Exciting first look at this spacey romance
Really liked the take in this alien x human story. Book 1 sets up the scene for the rest of this series in an exciting and romantic way. It’s chaos that put our FMC where she is, but after one wild kiss she’s ready for a new adventure! The light action in this is so fun and their one kiss sets up expectation for so many spicy scenes to come in the series.

Cute and sweet. This is a very short read with a very fast paced romance. There isn't enough time to really develop the characters, but it was an interesting 'scene' if you will. I could see this being a lead in to a longer romance, as with Crashed (another short by Mrs. Rudolph). Worth taking a few minutes to swallow down!

Andie had excepted that her life being a captive but alive was all she had. Then one day a purple Alien changed all that when he stole her way. Xandr had been imprisoned for murder of a bad man but now he's free and in chanted by a human. Great short to start a series that has a the promise to be brilliant.

First time reading this author and I thought the book was packed with everything you need. The world building is great, the plot and the characters have everything you need to make an exciting, "what's going to happen next" story. It's got he perfect set-up for a great series. Can't wait sit to see what happens next.

I really liked Andi, you can’t help it! Here is a super smart woman that knows how to survive and play by the rules. Then in the next second, she’s chancing everything for this stranger. The action and world portrayed is wonderful. Xandr is swashbuckling already and I’m sure there is more to come.

It said it was a romance on amazon, but it’s more like the lead up to what could be a romance. They kiss, but it’s some weird test for her to see her attraction to him and it’s on the last page. This was just them meeting and breaking out of a super strict planet that’s holding them captive. Wasn’t bad, but this individual book wasn’t romance.

Chapter 1
This isn’t a novel. This isn’t even a novella. It’s the first few chapters of a story that’s been broken up in the several books, which is always super annoying. I liked the characters, at least what we saw of them. The author hands at their back stories which sounds intriguing. It’s not quite an Insta-love, but it’s instant-lust.

A lot of planning to escape, then actually trying to escape... then yippee they did escape! Romance? not so much... never even went to bed! Not what i call a romance. Plot yeah, okay there was the whole escape i suppose... love interest? yeah okay it was sort of there with a kiss at the end... Hell, if that is all it takes to fall for some one, i better watch out who i kiss in future!

Well
Super quick read where the ending most likely leads you right into the next or continuation of the story.
She gets taken from earth sold to a planet that she is a prisoner but semi free-ish. Just living the life she has until one night she encounters him who just broke out of the prison.

Nice intro to what seems to be an adventure
Its a nice start to a series but its very surfacey I like Andie and for her alone would read just to see that fire she has been hiding really come out. Xandar seems like he is holding back so the entire story left you wanting to know more about these two and how the progress.

4/5 Stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
This book was such a fun adventure of them escaping!!!
♡ For being a prequel it was a great set up!
♡ I’m reading the next book in the series right after this.
I wish the romance started earlier in the story but that’s simply not realistic with a prequel.
Content Warning: kidnapping, human trafficking.
