Synnr's Saint by Kate Rudolph

Emily and her fellow Earth abductees have learned to entertain or die. When they are not being carted off to be experimented on, She and her fellow Earthlings are expected to perform like trained animals for their captors. Her gymnastic ability has never been a handier talent to have.

Oz may look like her abductors but he is nothing like them on the inside. His planet is split by morals and outlook rather than what they look like. The Apsyns are deplorable xenophobes. Oz and his team are much happier to have a wider pool of people to attempt to find a mate with.

But Oz missteps in his plans to rescue the Earthlings from their captivity when he tries to "buy" his human flier! Now he's going to have to work even harder to get her to trust him!

Emily and the others; Lena, Luci, Zac & Joel soon find themselves rescued but are they really any better off?

I loved that Emily was able to use her education as a lawyer on Earth in her newfound freedom. Her gymnastics may have saved her butt but it's her mental talents that are just as much use in her new normal! Oz makes a bit of a hash of rescuing his potential mate and I love how he has to essentially grovel to get her back. The abilities they share later are amazing! The little twist of the Earthlings capture was one I did not see coming.
