Alien's Challenge by Nancey Cummings

4.0

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.
