No Strings Attached
About
Violet:
What’s worse than being accidentally stuck in a conscious state during a month-long trip in a stasis pod aboard your abductors’ spaceship? Ending up in a cage room with nine other captives—bizarre and dangerous aliens who are not looking at you in ways that suggest your best interests. And why are you feeling a strange connection with that furry, amber-eyed, and charmingly naïve guard outside your cage?
Bahbi:
Standing in the cage room, I don’t know which creature terrifies me more, although I’m leaning heavily in the direction of the human female after hearing about how she went berserk during the offloading process and chopped one of her abductors to bits. Then she includes me in the escape plans of the caged alien group and gently runs her hand over my fur where I am injured, and I am lost forever to her.
Chorus:
And then there’s the taking over of the asteroid (oh, didn’t we mention they’re on an asteroid?), the plan to drive slavery from the galaxy, that whole “Queen of Oz” bit, and parading around naked on galactic TV with a royal party of giant snakes. Oh, yeah, and the unpleasantness at the brothel.
Maizy:
Nothing in life is guaranteed, but how bitter and jaded would one have to be to not love HEAs? That said, my books are full of triggers of every variety—too many to list in a content warning; if this is troubling to you, please skip my books altogether. Also, sexually explicit content for readers 18+ only and meant to be read as a series.
Praise for this book
Loved this book! Vi is outrageous, courageous and sometimes flat out crazy! So refreshing to read an abduction trope story with an intelligent woman as the mfc.
Picked this book almost at random and found myself wanting more when I ran out of book to read. What I expected was the typical cookie-cutter retreads of this genre and what I got was a rich, deep, and engaging story.
The author did an amazing job of building a world I want more of and characters that it is very easy to care about. I want more, and I hope the author doesn't take long in giving it to us.
Sci-fi romance is rife with insta-love/lust and fated mates. It gets tiresome after a while. Vi and Bahbi were such a palate cleanser. A bit of a gender swap. Bahbi was so submissive and gentle. I loved him to death and would cut a bitch to protect him.
I’ll be (im)patiently waiting for the next book in this series.
I am pleased to report that all the positive reviews were correct. This book was so much fun. It was like a version of Guardians of the Galaxy where everyone was actually likeable.
This was a phenomenal and refreshing sci-fi romance that had me grinning like an idiot and desperately wanting more.
The kind of irreverent competence porn about improbably altruistic beings cooperating as a group that we could probably all use this year. So much is accomplished when profit isn't the motive. Such fantasy. And a talking effing dog? Snakes with optional arm attachments? COVERALL-WEARING SPACE OTTERS?!? Kyahhh there are holes for their tails how adorable
Gleeful Goblin Review: This series came out of left field for me and totally blew me away. It hits ALL the Found Family buttons which is my top fave trope in fiction.
