mslori 's review for:

Rescued by an Alien by Amanda Milo
2.0

Probably closer to a 2.5 star, because it was so so so much better than some of the other things I've tried reading on KU, so I want to round it up but...

There serious grammar and continuity issues, and the first 3 chapters were like the book equivalent of that shaky camera effect they like to use during action shots.
But it was really quite thoughtful and touching how the issue of rape was handled. There was no magical healing genitals, sex and affection was a tool used to move past the trauma, not as a fix-all. So the author gets points back for handling a tough subject well, if not with perfectly spelled sentences. I think with better editing this could have easily been a much better story.

It was nice to see some continuation from the first books characters too.
I definitely will give this author another try if I come across something that catches my eye.
