Outlaw Planet Mates is a multi-author series. Alien's Challenge by Nancey Cummings is the first book in the series I’ve listened to and it stood well on its own.
Alien romance isn’t really my go-to, but I found this when I was looking for more narrations by Conan Kennedy and I’m so glad I did. What an action packed, sexy, and fun listen. Alice is captured by aliens and then sold into slavery. By coincidence Faris discovers she’s being held captive by his nemesis.
They’re on the run with Faris’s sidekick while Alice tries to acclimate to an unknown planet, aliens, language, and customs. I love that while afraid, she keeps her spunky attitude. Faris just wants to help her get home. The banter between them was hilarious. Falling in lust and then love was steamy and sweet.
I loved the HEA & epilogue. I can’t wait to listen to more.
Narration:
Conan Kennedy is great at so many different voices and keeping them consistent throughout the book which is a perfect match for Cummings story. I also like the way he does the sections from Alice’s perspective in a slightly different affect than Faris. Kennedy is also excellent at bringing all the emotions through - fear, frustration, attraction, and especially the humor. Delightful listen.

Fun, quick read does an excellent riff on the alien-abduction trope with the abducted heroine being rescued by another alien. More of a 'love on the run' story than anything else, Alice finds herself on a former prison planet with customs reminiscent of the old west. Faris, a snakeman, is the aging gunslinger who rescues her, defeats the villain, and gets a second chance a decent life.

It's a standalone, but it ends in a cliffhanger.

It was good like the idea of a prison planet with lots of different cities and people makes for a better story. Will be reading the next ones

Pretty funny and a quick read. It had an old west sort of vibe but in space with aliens!

The narrator (Conan Kennedy) is new to me but wow! He did an awesome job with this audiobook! I immediately searched for more books narrated by him but sadly he only has this book and one other. I hope he gets a lot of work in the romance genre because I enjoyed his narration!
The first sex scene (about halfway into the book) is really rather anti-climactic to me. There's not enough sexual tension or buildup to the act, they basically just get down to business. Very meh.

It was okay. I wish it was longer to allow for more world building and character development. it's like 50% plot 50% sex.
