Title: Alien, MineAuthor: Sandra HarrisCopyright: 2013ISBN-13: 978-1-61935-243-8Publisher: Soul Mate PublishingSandra has a real knack for alien world building, and visually transporting the reader into the immense reaches of space. Her descriptions of the various alien species encountered by Sandrea brought them to life for me.Overall "Alien, Mine" is well written, and will keep the pages turning. I found very few typos, and will credit some of the distracting word usage to the possible difference in the Aussie and American rendition of the English language.I appreciated the hook of the first chapter. The plot gets a bit side tracked at times, but I still was intrigued enough to finish the PDF supplied by the author over a period of two days.Like many of the other reviewers, I loved Dexter, but I found it unlikely that he would flit from one being to another so he could be used as an attack lizard. The instant attraction of General Mhartak to the fragile Sandrea also bothered me. I would think that he would have been repulsed at first, but saved her because she rescued his captured soldiers. Then was captivated by her courage and tenacityJudging from the cover one would think this was just another steamy hormone novel, but it is an entertaining science fiction read. The sex scenes are over done and bog down the storyline. Some scenes fall into the erotica genre, which is unfortunate. Those scenes relegate this novel to the Adult 18+  age group when it could have easily been a good read for young adults.The "Alien, Mine" PDF was supplied to me in exchange for an honest review as part of this book blog tour.Reviewed by Jackie Anton.....Author of the award winning "Backyard Horse Tales" series.
