A review by raven168
Rescued by an Alien by Amanda Milo
4.0
Much like the first one, I thought this was well written and the characters well developed. However, because of the heavy subject matter that is the primary focus here, it just wasn't able to be an excitingly fun read and therefore not as great as the first for me. Though there were times when Callie was more like herself and it was. I will say that I thought it was all dealt with pretty well.
As we know from the last book, unlike Angie, Callie was not rescued before she was raped by the aliens that bought her. She's helpless to stop them from doing what they want to her, but that doesn't stop her from trying to escape. During her frantic bid for freedom is when Zadeon finds her. He can't contain his rage at what he sees and he slaughters the entire camp that had held her.
From some reason (which we never find out why, and that ticked me off to the point that I wish it hadn't have been included then) the two of them have been dreaming of the other practically forever. Zadeon knows that Callie is his mate, but after what she has been thru he has to be extremely careful of how he proceeds with her. Which is not easy for a huge warrior like him. Callie is terrified of him, he's the biggest alien she's seen after all, but at the same time he somehow makes her feel safe.
Most of this book is what happens after the group of human females are taken by the Gryfala for study. Zadeon works unbelievably hard in trying to get Callie to heal emotionally and open back up to people. Hoping that she would eventually come to accept that she is his mate and all that entails. It's very impressive the lengths he goes to for this, and it was great to see that it worked. Unfortunately, every time that Callie seems to take a great many steps forward, something happens that sends her slipping back again. Each time, though, Zadeon is right there to do whatever he can. By the end Callie even manages to fight back her demons and embrace the happiness she can find with Zadeon.
I loved how the characters from the first book were also in this one. It really worked for me and made it so much more entertaining. I also really liked the Gryfala's response to what was done to Callie even though she isn't actually one of them. What kind of irked me though was the HUGE deal made out coffee and chocolate. Like no female EVER can survive without those two things. I know it's petty, but it annoyed be so much because I loathe everything about coffee and I certainly do not have a sweet tooth. Hell, I still have chocolate from two years ago...which I should probably throw out at this point... I also found it very unbelievable that practically everybody there started to want to learn how to dance. That would never happen. Especially not with males like these.
While I love this series so far and this author's writing, I'm not sure I want to read the next book. I'm not a fan of true relationships having more than two people, but I'm not a fan of a story having kids in them even more. Maybe someday. Or maybe I'll just skip it. Guess we'll see.
