A Nude Attitude

Exposed to the Elements #3

by Honey Phillips

Can Erica survive the hidden dangers of an alien ocean? And the charms of the alien convict stranded with her?

Erica desperately needs a break from her domineering father - especially his latest scheme to marry her off so she can produce an heir. When she wakes up on a tropical island, it almost seems like the answer to a prayer…

Except she’s naked, alone, and she’s never seen an island quite like this before. She’s certainly never seen anyone like the big blue alien who walks out of the sea with a fierce grin and a massive spear.

A’rien is smooth, charming - and unlucky. When his latest scheme goes awry, he is tried and convicted of a crime he didn’t commit. His fate seems certain, but instead, he wakes up on an unknown planet. He has everything he needs to survive, including a strange, beautiful female. Has his luck finally turned?

But the more time A'rien spends with Erica - teasing her, protecting her, touching her - the more he realizes that she doesn’t belong in this world. Will he give in to his desire to keep her - or will the conscience he never knew he had insist that he let her go?

Each book in the Exposed to the Elements series can be read as a standalone romance. This sweet and steamy romance is intended for mature audiences only.

3.5 stars - This was my favorite entry in the series to date, as I felt like our leads had stronger characterization and motivation. I was also excited to see the macro plot expand significantly, which makes me more excited to see where the series as a whole may go

[Sadie Hope · Rating 5 out of 5]

UMMMMMM.... this was a delight from start to finish and might be my favorite in the series now!
I love antiheroes and this definitely had one! And his character growth?! **chef kiss** And then there is a toughie heroine?! Just... loved it! Also loved seeing the connection to book one! (Can still be read as a standalone but more fun in order!)

Stars: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Steam: 🔥🔥🔥.5
Tropes: forced proximity, alien experiment, desert island, hurt/ comfort (minor), antihero
For Fans Of: Star Trek, low angst bad boys

So in this installment... he couldn't sleep because she wanted to stay inland and he started building her a HOUSE.

I still don't understand the point to why they are abducting random ass humans and alien species to see if they'll end up chosing eachother... like some sort of reality TV show 😭😂

But im committed to this series now because I had the books in my Amazon cart, and my husband went to buy something and thought he moved them all into saved for later. Not book 5 though. He bought that one. 😂

Think he broke my brain with that move because now I feel like I have to finish the series to feel complete so I can buy books 1-4 😅

Book 5 he buys.... 🙄 lmaoooooo

Me encantó esta historia.
El patrón es el mismo (incluso en las mascotas, cosa que no había pensado antes). Pero el tipo de galán cambió y me gusta.
No sé qué pasará con el próximo libro, porque en el epilogo nos dicen algo que... Pero veremos veremos... "Una adicta, soy una adicta a tiiiii" *escuchen como canto de felicidad el clásico de Walter Olmos, cumbia argenta loco*

Another experiment

I enjoy how each story has a different background. The best part is that two couples found each other on the mainland. It's like neighbors and they're building their own community. Wonder if we will see the babies born in future books?

[Anna Marie · Rating 1 out of 5]

I hated Erika from page one. There are veteran facilities without enough money to give food and shelter to people who desperately need help. There are hungry children, parents who can't find places to stay near their terminal children, and this MORON wants to rehabilitate wild animals? I... can't. Even. It made me ANGRY, reading that. "Please, rich daddy. Please don't cut off my squirrel rescue program! I'll stay and suck up to you even though you treat me like crap, as long as you'll fund my Bambi feedings! I'll marry whatever mercenary asshole you choose, just please give me money to save the ciadas!"

((((((GAG.))))))

Which immediately progressed to, "He practically raped me Daddy. Wait... why are you laughing?"

(((((((( !!!!! )))))))

Annnnnd... then we find ourselves, like with the first two books, naked on a deserted planet/island with a map and a little bag and an uber-hawt alien who also has been left naked, with a map and bag. Oh, and the requisite Furbie critter. And then cue the the sex, sex, sex, sex... with no exploration of his past, depth of feelings, real connection for the reader.

Just like with the other two books, everything is provided: fresh water, game (both on a TINY island, of course), tools, fuel for fire, fruit... c'mon. THAT easy? No. It would never be THAT easy. And of course like the other two books, the heroine is completely idiotic and helpless, while the hero can weave hammocks, carve boats, hunt game, smoke fish, scale cliffs, etc.

The only difference here is that Tarax/Jane show up at the end.

Mostly? This lark of reading these has left me dissatisfied. But there's only one more, and they're free and only take about half an hour to read, so... I press on, hoping to be impressed, and finding more of the same. The same heroine in all of them. The same characterization in every male alien - Tarax could be Slitherman could be A'rien. The same cuddly little plush-pet.

I'm sticking with to see where it goes, but... not well done. AT ALL.
Hrmph.

This was alright, definitely not the strongest of the series so far. And it certainly felt like the shortest. I enjoyed it, however there was a little something missing that I can’t put my finger on.

A Nude Attitude de Honey Phillips Serie Exposed to the Elements libro 3

Argumento:

¿Podrá Erica sobrevivir a los peligros ocultos de un océano alienígena? ¿Y a los encantos del convicto alienígena que se quedó varado con ella?

Erica necesita desesperadamente un descanso de su padre dominante, especialmente de su último plan para casarla para que pueda tener un heredero. Cuando se despierta en una isla tropical, casi parece la respuesta a una plegaria... Excepto que está desnuda, sola y nunca antes había visto una isla como esta. Ciertamente nunca había visto a nadie como el gran alienígena azul que sale del mar con una sonrisa feroz y una lanza enorme.

A'rien es suave, encantador... y desafortunado. Cuando su último plan sale mal, es juzgado y condenado por un crimen que no cometió. Su destino parece seguro, pero en cambio, se despierta en un planeta desconocido.

Tiene todo lo que necesita para sobrevivir, incluida una extraña y hermosa mujer. ¿Su suerte finalmente ha cambiado? Pero cuanto más tiempo pasa A'rien con Erica (burlándose de ella, protegiéndola, tocándola), más se da cuenta de que ella no pertenece a este mundo. ¿Se rendirá a su deseo de conservarla o la conciencia que nunca supo que tenía insistirá en que la deje ir?



Mi humilde opinión:

Los científicos están empeñados en probar sus teorías en sus experimentos.
La siguiente pareja es Erica y A'rien, él un alien con escamas azules condenado a muerte y ella la hija de un juez.

A'rien está feliz en una isla con un extenso mar frente a él, es una segunda oportunidad después de ser condenado a muerte en su planeta. La llegada de una humana lo hace pensar en alguien más que el mismo por primera vez.

Erica estaba bajo el control de su padre y destinada a un matrimonio arreglado pero se despierta en una isla con un alien saliendo del agua como un dios. Quizás no está tan mal el giro que acaba de tomar su vida, una vida dónde es ella la que elige.

Me encantó leer esta historia, como las otras es agradable y dulce con una aventura esta vez en una isla desierta. Adoré a Peri, me dan ganas de achuchar a estas pequeñas mascotas alienígenas!
Además aparecen Jane&Tarax del primer libro, al parecer las huellas que había encontrado Tarax eran de ellos. Fue lindo ver su nueva vida juntos con el bebé en camino y que Érika y A'rien se queden cerca.

Nos vamos a un planeta frío en el próximo experimento? Me cae bien uno de los científicos, por lo menos él quiere lo mejor para las parejas que eligen. A ver qué sucede en The Buff Beast.

We have another animal companion in this one and OMG, Peri is the cutest little squishy. This was just so cute and sweet. A'rien was a cocky dude at first, just assuming he would get Erica because he wanted her. But even so he was totally sweet and protective. Erica was like an innocent sneak-thief running between the bushes in all her nude splendor, snatchin up the grilled fish dinner for her and Peri. It was so funny and cute. Such a fun story. A little bit of drama and danger like the rest, but very minimal and quick, which seems to be the general theme in each one. I like that about these. They have all the little aspects of alien strangers on an unknown planet facing dangers, but they're still super sweet and easy-going. They're very refreshing, easy, quick reads. I'm loving them. And I love that we get to meet up with the first couple, Jane and Tarax, and have sort of started a little community!

Second chances and healing

I enjoyed the continuation of this sci-fi alien romance series with a side of kidnapping and controlled experiments. It was a fun, light and steamy read plus there is another oddly matched couple and another cute alien pet. Erica is a human who works for her rich controlling father, a criminal defense attorney. She finally decided she’d had enough when he tried to force her to marry. A’rien is a Taivanian who is a loner criminal awaiting execution for trusting the wrong woman. They both wake up naked on an island on a strange planet having no memory of being taken from their beds. While A’rien knows how to live off the land and has some aquatic characteristics, Erica does not. They are each given a woven sack, a map and another tool though A’rien finds them both and hides Erica’s. So he knows there may be a way to get off the planet but she does not. There is initially a language barrier but since A’rien has an advanced implanted translation device, he learns English quickly. There is attraction and chemistry between Erica and A’rien but they’ll have to deal with their painful pasts and fears in order to get their HEA. Despite being short, the story was well written, the characters had dimension and the storyline was engaging. The books in this series are standalones but have interconnected plots. While the main story arc was resolved here, the mystery of who brought them and why is not completely resolved. I am excited to read more in the series.

Naked and Afraid Alien edition continues this time on an island

A'reka survives an awful date with a suitor arranged by her father who demands she marry and produce a (male) heir. Convicted of a crime he didn't commit, when he wakes up on the island he's in heaven. A'rien is at home in the water with gills and webbed extremities. When he spies A'reka his protective instincts kick in overriding his libido and love 'em and leave 'em style. A'reka has no clue how to survive in the wild so A'rien helps her from the shadows. When she's in danger he reveals himself to save her. She realizes sticking with him is safer (and much more satisfying). As they explore each others bodies, it's clear the attraction is more than physical. Unfortunately when she learns he lied about the possibility of leaving the island and planet, she fears he's as controlling as her father and withdraws. Heartbroken he knows setting her free is the right thing to do. After a harrowing adventure to reach the main land, they encounter Taraxan and Jayne from book 1. The human women quickly bond but the alien males are more reticent. When A'reka decides to stay, A'rien realizes staying on the main land is better than returning to the island. Plenty of action and sexy times plus funny scenes of language or cultural miscues. The beings behind the stranding continue their experiments but we don't get much insight on who they are or the purpose.

[Tasha · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an alien abduction kind of, romance. It has an lots of steamy scenes and a happily ever after ending guaranteed.

A’rien is about to be executed in a prison and Erica has been given an ultimatum by her father, she’s to marry and give him a male heir. Both of them wake up in a completely different place, on a different planet really. At first Erica runs and hides from A’rien thinking he’s going to hurt her. When she finds a cute baby animal left by his mother she keeps him. She’s stuck on a desert island though and has no idea how to fend for herself, when she sees that A’rien has cooked fish she takes them. After eating her fill and feeding peri, she feels guilty and takes them back to him. She doesn’t realise that A’rien is keeping a close eye on her to make sure she doesn’t get hurt, when her life is in danger he saves her. As time goes on they get closer and profess their love for each other. When A’rien tells Erica that they were given a map to the main island when they first arrives she’s gutted that he would lie to her. They travel to the mainland intending to go home, on the way they are attacked and nearly die. This puts everything into perspective for them.

[Nancy Reads Romance · Rating 5 out of 5]

I think this is my favorite book in the series! A Nude Attitude ties everything together. Erica escapes her relentless and uncaring father by waking up on a deserted, alien beach. Erica definitely needs help. The woman has zero stealth and her survival skills are lacking. And she's not alone. A'rien is a water-loving alien. He finds himself on a beach and it reminds him of the waters of his home planet, Taivan. He has scales, a fin, webs between his fingers and toes, plus he's huge ALL over. He also has some "added features." Not your run-of-the mill cabana boy. He comes off as a little arrogant and sly, but in reality A'rien ends up being the most caring and protective male. I'm thinking he has one hell of a "smolder." Another favorite in this story is the little pet that Phillips introduces. His name is Peri and you will fall in love with him. Peri, in attitude, reminds me of the chameleon, Pascal, from the movie Tangled. I won't spoil any of the story, but you will love it! There's some good surprises in the last chapters. This book is sweet, steamy, adventurous, and ties everything together. Absolutely Awesome - 5 stars!!

[GiveMeAllTheBooks · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great SFR! Lighter in tone than a few of Honey's other series (I have a hard time with beaten/enslaved/abused heroine plots). Honey's heroes are always a combination of fierce protectors/warriors, passionate, yet gentle and loving. Even though A'rien was supposed to be the 'bad boy' of the series, we don't really get a sense of that apart from a few mentions of his rough upbringing. He has no doubt that Erica was brought there for him, and wastes no time providing for her and protecting her, albeit behind the scenes at first.

I would have liked them to meet a bit sooner. They have no meaningful face-to-face interaction until 38%, so it's basically insta-attraction that quickly moves to a relationship, but it works. We have an adorable alien pet along for the ride, and we get a little closer to solving the mystery of who and why behind the experiments. Very interested in the next & last book with a snow/ice setting. Maybe we'll get all our questions answered and have all the couples meet?

Another couple brought together to be studied. This time, though, the alien scientists (not sure if they're actually scientists or just aliens satisfying their curiosity about different species, to be honest, but there you go) nab an alien convict to pair up with the clueless human.

A'rien is surprisingly protective of Erika despite his less-than-legal past. He admires her kindness and does his best to keep her both safe and provided for before they ever officially team up. He's also wary enough (understandable considering the circumstances he was in just prior to being dropped on the island) to not want to leave their cushy island and potentially face going back to where he was taken from. But circumstances sort of force them to make the trek and...hey, other human/alien couples! YES!

A tropical island, an adventurous couple, a little danger, and an unexpected meet-up with same familiar faces. *thumbs up*

A Nude Attitude #3 06/13/2022

Another alien and another human female stranded on another planet this time on a island. He’s equipped to survive but she not really. He gets there first and then he finds her so he keeps and eye on her to make sure she’s safe. But once she sees him coming out of the water all big and blue she takes off running only to find there isn’t anywhere to run. She finds water and a small critters that she decides need her help and they need to check out the big blue guy. He has fish cooking and when he turns his back she steals it but then after she has eaten and her little critters she feels bad about taking it all so she goes back to give his food back. Then goes back down the beach to sleep. He has been following her and helping her out and he has decided he will keep her safe. But she gets herself into trouble and he saves her and now they are in this together. But soon they must leave their island after a storm show them is not safe to stay. So enjoy another good strange story and see what happens to them!!

[Stephanie Blatz · Rating 5 out of 5]

loved it!

When Erika awakes alone on a beach far from Earth, she finds she isn’t all that upset about it. In fact she’s kind of excited to be out from under her demanding fathers thumb, especially after his latest edict, that it’s time for her to be married and produce him an heir. Of course he has just the man lined up, but after their first date ends horribly she knows it’s time to cut ties with her father and say NO to all his plans. Even though A’rein has not lived an honest life, that life is to be cut shot when he is framed for murder and scheduled to be executed. So when he wakes on an alien beach he’s not mad about it either. And when a lovely female shows up on the same beach the next day he’s even more delighted. When Erica lays eyes on A’rein she flees into the jungle so A’rein watches her from afar for a few days, providing food and other helpful items which Erica happens upon. But once he comes to her rescue she realizes she needs him, and once she realizes he has been keeping her fed anyway she decides to trust him and they begin to bond very quickly.

A Convict and a Lawyer

Three books in and I love this series. I’m getting more and more anxious for the final reveal of why these “experiments” are happening and becoming as invested in the scientists as I am in the couples. Having said that, I loved these two. I liked that A’rein was not noble as the two previous males were. A’rein lived by the rules of survival and not so much by the rules of law- he was also blatant in his desire/likes right away. (He was a 🍑 man) Erika was a great female lead as well. I actually enjoyed how she didn’t immediately run to A’rein for help- but she did steal from him to eat. Her pet Peri was adorable as well. I hope that that continues to happen in the next books- the female always having some pet. As an animal lover- I wholeheartedly approve. It was great seeing the Tarax and Jane again. I hope that means that all the couples will eventually meet up. I can’t wait to read the next book and find out!

[Paula · Rating 3 out of 5]

This series has been a lot of fun to read, as I’ve mentioned in my previous reviews. If you’re looking for something quick, light, and entertaining, this is definitely for you. Just don’t expect a story with deep layers or a slow-burn romance.

I’ve been reading the books in order, and I appreciate how each one gradually reveals more about the abductors and why the characters were taken. The buildup is handled well, though I’m not sure it would have the same impact if you read the books out of order. At first, some things feel a bit too convenient—like the characters always managing to find each other, food, or water—but eventually it becomes clear that this is intentional. Some readers might also be bothered by how reliant the female leads are on their alien partners throughout the series. I don’t think it’s a major issue, because based on what we learn about the characters’ lives, it makes sense that they wouldn’t realistically have the knowledge or skills to survive without help.

La’Tok’at’bron and Va’ri’at’char are back in the lab. This time they will choose a criminal and see how it goes.
Poor Erica is having a bad day, week, month. Her father has decided she needed and husband and is blackmailing her with her favorite charity. After a horrible date, she goes to sleep and wakes up on an alien beach.
A’rien is having a bad day, week, month. He finds himself in a cell awaiting execution for a crime he did not commit. Do not get me wrong; he is no saint. But this time, he is innocent. So, he finds himself on a beach; he sees it as a second chance. Finding Erika is just the cherry on top of his good luck.
I enjoy A’rien and Erica's relationship from the beginning. they had their funny moments not so funny situations, but they stick together to the end. I look forward to the next book.

[Minga Dotson · Rating 4 out of 5]

I still don't like the "steal them to experiment with them" part, but the story of how two disparate beings come together to protect and survive is better than any Naked And Afraid tv show.

A'rien is a water dweller, a blue, gilled alien happy to wake up naked on a tropical beach and out of the prison where he faced a death sentence. He was even happier when he found a naked female of a very alien race, one he'd never seen before. Ericka wasn't as happy and took one look at the massive blue male and fled into the jungle. It took lots of following her and leaving supplies for her to find, and saving her from a deadly fall before she agreed to stay with him. Can they survive on a small tropical island? Will they decide to attempt the crossing to the mainland to follow the map? There is a happy ending and they meet the pair from the first story.

[Jannie Cv · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love on a tropical isle - what fun!
I swear, these stories just get better and better as they continue!
A’rien has had a hard life, full of dangerous escapades that result in narrow escapes. He is quite the dashing rascal!
Erica has always sought to please her highly controlling father - it is never good enough. Neither of these two has had an easy past. I think they’re a great match, once they work past those trigger points.
I adore how protective A’rien is, while giving her plenty of independence in the beginning. I totally love their story! They have some pretty fierce dangers to face, their relationship is tested (it proves very strong). The companion critters these women find are just plain adorable - and smart! You really won’t want to miss this - it is fine entertainment!

[JodyL · Rating 5 out of 5]

Is a tropical island with a blue alien a dream?

A'rien is different in that he has scales and likes to swim in the water. He is a "criminal " so at first he believes that the island he awakens and finds himself on may be part of a punishment. But he is content to stay there.
Erika also awakens on this island and finds herself alone and naked. She soon sees a big blue male alien walk out of the water, so she runs.
I am really liking this series. We get to meet new and different types of hunky, sexy aliens that are all placed with human females as an experiment by some other type of alien.
I can't wait to find out who our scientists really are and who they actually work for.

[Katya · Rating 3 out of 5]

Once again better than the last, but I think it’s because somehow the survival stuff in this one was written better. Still not great, however I liked the ending. Also, I’m complaint about the female lead (AGAIN) because they’re all white and all weak. Lame! I’d love for one of the female leads to be strong and be able to survive on her own without the help of a man. At the very least, I hope one of the next female leads is a person of color…

I also can’t say that I liked A’rien very much, always calling Erica “female”… how misogynistic! I think this series is truly not for me in that aspect.

Mostly what’s keeping me going with this series is the overarching plot with the freaky aliens who don’t breathe or speak, I’m interested to see their motives (if we’re able to see them)…
