Lemming is known for her hilarious and wild romances with a larger-than-life backdrop, and she delivers once again: this time, a sci-fi world where humans are abducted and brought to another planet for their reproductive abilities. This time, things didn't quite click for me: the romance wasn't super compelling for me, and the rest of the sci-fi plot was a little muddled in its efforts to be humorous. I think there's plenty here for the right reader; it just wasn't me.

Kimberly gives us another fun sexy romp. If you enjoyed her Mead Mishaps, this is it's sci-fi sister.
Even though Dory is going through it, she remains true to herself & gets her men. It is also very funny that aliens use A.I. & Proceed to everything right about humans, to..... the left.

This book is a fever dream. Kimberly Lemming, you have my attention. I love every single title I have seen from this author, and if they weren't already enough to pull me in, the fact that I could not stop laughing while reading this is. Kimberly Lemming is effortlessly witty and funny. The alien spice level is a little higher than I expected, but I had a blast reading the back and forth dialogue in this book. A talking lion, dinosaurs, a strange planet, a sketchy owl, and warring aliens? This was a fun level of messy and chaotic that I am unsure could ever be replicated.

Also, we love Toto (the lion). There were so many times Toto reminded me of my Sour Patch Kid former semi-feral boy, and it just made it even more enjoyable for me.

Good to know that Kimberly Lemming can do science fiction just as dexterously as they can do fantasy! Some deliciously steamy scenes interspersed with such amazing humor that I cackled audibly several times.

Thanks for the ARC! This book is a wild ride from page one—equal parts rom-com chaos, alien absurdity, and heart. Dory is hilarious and relatable even when she’s fighting dinosaurs and crushing on not one, but two aliens. The banter is top-tier, the pacing flies, and the story balances the ridiculous with some surprisingly real emotion. It's weird, it’s sexy, it’s FUN. Lemming does it again with a genre-bending blast that somehow makes total sense.

Another fun and sexy story from Kimberly Lemming. I am very intrigued to know how Kimberly comes up with things like "the knot". I cannot wait to read more of Kimberly's work and the rest of this series (when it is written and published).

Thank you to Berkley Romance and NetGalley for providing me with a digital copy of this book.

I want to start this review by saying I did not seek out this book; Berkely emailed me and gave me the book to review. This is not my normal genre at all. I am a fantasy and thriller reader and I generally find romance to be boring. It's hard to say that this book was boring but it was dumb. Like so stupid. I thought this would be campy and a little silly but it was straight up so weird that you had to read it without thinking. There's a talking lion and he ends up on an alien planet with this human girl and dinosaurs and weird Avatar-like creatures that are apparently hot? Yeah, I was physically unable to suspend my system of belief long enough to enjoy this book. I couldn't even make it 60 pages in before I had to DNF it. That's not to say this book is bad, per se. It's just not my genre and it annoyed me more than anything. 1/5 stars.

Excellent fantasy romance that has top tier steam/spice. I loved the friendship between Dory and Toto. I definitely would read more in this series, and thought there was an excellent balance of romance and fantasy plot.

Quirky and witty fun. Love a good rom com, especially when it subverts the norm. Kimberly Lemming does it again with I Got Abducted by Aliens and Now I'm Trapped in a Rom Com. Get yourself some snacks and cozy up with this fun and quick read. I loved it!

Kimberly Lemming will always be an auto-buy author for me. Her stories are always lighthearted and spicy, and will always have the reader laughing. However, I was not too big of a fan of I Got Abducted by Aliens. It might be me, but I did not vibe with the story. Yes, it still had that chaotic, funny feel at some points, but it wasn't the same.

This was THE FUNNEST ROMP?! Oh my goodness, I was laughing all the way through. And the world-building was actually so clever?? I can't wait for the sequel (there will be a sequel, right??)! The perfect quick read for anyone craving something fun, and pretty spicy (x2). Can't wait to see what Kimberly Lemming comes up with next. Her brain must be such a fascinating place.

Another amazing book by Kimberly Lemming! I love their books as they always bring so much fun and spice. All her books are palate-cleanser books, which never fail to pull me out of a slump when needed. Her original series is one of my go-to summer reads, and I am most definitely adding this one to the list. Love the switch up to more sci-fi alien vibes as it was kinda unexpected and fresh. Overall, a hilarious and fun read for when you want to keep it fun and light.

*4.5 stars

OMG this book is so flipping funny!

I laughed the ENTIRE read and oh how it was steamy as well. The only thing is that the end kind of dragged for me a little and I would get Locke and Sol confused sometimes.

But, overall Toto and Intern were my favorite characters and their hilarious banter made this book so funnnnn!

The romance was kind of instalove and thrown together, but I really enjoyed their banter and their steamy times.

I wanted to like this one because I LOVED her Mead Mishaps series - but the over the top quirkiness in this one just felt forced. It was lacking the heart and character development of her other books. The humor wasn’t landing, I didn’t care about the characters, and it just felt like a “quirky” take on the Ice Planet Barbarian series.

Not entirely my cup of tea, but I did find this book very humorous and fun to read. Dory is a great protagonist and I really enjoyed the other characters as well (especially Toto and Intern). My nerdy science brain also enjoyed the slight STEM aspect. If you're looking for something light and a spicy, this is a good book for you. Thank you NetGalley for an Arc copy of this book.

It was kinda okay, I will say that I’ve loved everything about this author before it just seems that she tried to branched out and it was messy and not well achieved

This one was interesting. I really enjoyed prior books by this author. This one didn't strike me as quite as funny or light hearted as I was expecting it to be based on the title. The premise is interesting, but there is a lot going on - a lot of world building, a lot of characters, a lot of circumstances - with the nature of the 'new' world being a mash-up of things from the real world that shouldn't fit together. Maybe that's what made it harder for me to engage with - it was too close to reality in some respects and way too far outside of reality in other respects that ultimately made it hard to go on the journey with these characters.

There's definitely spice - open door, MMF, spicy. And I got the structure of the humor, but much of what was meant to be funny didn't quite do it for me. Overall, an ok story - I'll definitely still read more from this author. Very creative. Thank you to Berkley for the eARC and the physical copy!

Fantastically humorous book! Loved the authors voice and their sense of humor throughout this book. The characters were great and the representation was fantastic. As someone who loves science fiction romance, seeing a woman of color specifically a Black woman be featured as a main love interest was so satisfying and relatable. 10/10 would recommend this book to my fellow Sci-Fi lovers!

I think if you’re looking for a smutty, silly, fast read to bang out real quick, this book might be right for you.

It’s just when I think about it deeper than a quick read I realize a lot of this didn’t work for me. There really is no romance, since it’s a love serum.

I know that if I were in a specific mood for smutty and goofy and light I would’ve enjoyed it more.

I wanted to enjoy this so much more than I did., and I’m super bummed about it. While this is one of my favorite authors, I found the story had almost too much going on. There was too much information thrown at us that while there was payoff, it was a bit laborious to keep straight. In the end I was left underwhelmed and the story fell a bit flight. However, this book has a lot of fun and whimsy in it that make the characters very enjoyable and while there is a lot crammed in here, we get duality and depth to our characters and I appreciated that a lot. If this continues, I would still read them as now I’m familiar with this world. I’m cautiously optimistic. Haha
