This book is about a race of aliens that abducts women and use pheromones in order to have sex with them. The aliens are strong-willed, dominating alphas that have a distinctive taste for beautiful women. They travel to Earth, take whatever women they want and seduce them… but not Samantha. For some reason she’s able to resist the aliens charm, and she resorts to her womanly tricks to slowly overpower the imposing aliens. To me, that’s a metaphor for human relationships: it’s a struggle for power between man and woman, and the physically stronger sometimes is the most fragile… It’s impressive how Samantha’s personality and resilient nature can bend the dominating aliens to her will. Erin Durante builds the tension with a love triangle, and she’s a master of building sexual tension as well. Samantha is definitely a teaser, and she’s got the aliens heads spinning.Written in a subjective third-person perspective, the book is composed mostly of short paragraphs, mixed with plenty dialogues and inner reflections. The narrator is omniscient, and that’s another good characteristic of the prose, because this way the author is able to get the reader closer to the protagonists’ intimacy, and Samantha’s revealing kinky thoughts are never hidden. As for the sexual depictions, there’s no vulgarity (that’s a plus) and you can feel Samantha’s emotions through the accurate portrayal Erin Durante paints of the aliens’ sexual appetite and behavior.I recommend this book to anyone interested in reading a unique love history.
