  This is the first book I've read from Hope Hart and the blurb was enticing enough, the h being abducted by aliens, rescued by huge barbarian aliens...right up to my alley.
  
  The first few chapters are ok, there's this group of human women all abducted from their beds and transported to an alien auction where they're sold to different buyers. Some of them stay together with the same owners, a bunch of purple aliens, and while being again transported to who knows where, they are then "freed" by a different race of aliens (yellow this time) who take them from the spaceship to take them to their tribe in the planet Agron. Well, these guys are bad news, but there come the hunky good aliens and save the women from them.
  
  And here is where started to go downhill for me. The leader warrior, Terex (MMC) decides Ellie (MFC) is the one for him and wants her to stay with him in order to court her; Ellie, who's been bullied all her life because she's short and chubby, feels attracted to him but is decided to sabotage a possible relationship.
  
  Frankly, this character and a secondary one, Nevada (another of the human women, a former SEAL) completely ruined the story for me. Both characters are petulant, irrational and self-absorbed. The allegedly SEAL lacks self-control whatsoever, and she even insults the king of the tribe in front of everyone (I can't accept that a person like her could survive a week in the military). These two women wouldn't survive in a different country (they'd be kicked out) let alone a different world. I think authors write this type of women believing they express passion, but they come across as obnoxious imo.
  
  Perhaps this is a personal dislike, or it's cultural, but the romance part was lost on me, I couldn't understand how a guy like Terex (considerate, brave and honorable) could feel so attracted to someone like the h...it was unbelievable to me. I wanted to like her but couldn't.
  
  I hate to give low ratings, but I have to be honest; it doesn't mean that other readers find this amusing and can enjoy it. If you don't mind this type of female character and enjoy abductions and barbarian aliens, this is quite the standard story for that.

  Sadly it fell short
  
  This book is a great summary of what had potential to be a good book. If only the author had written a longer book and taken the time to develop the characters/world/situations, this could have been fantastic. But alas, she did not. It is an instalove/lust book, where the hero immediately falls in love for the heroine, but we don’t know why. The h is described as not being very attractive, not confident, kind of a coward, honestly no real redeeming qualities, so why did the H fall for her? She is honestly a bit of a doormat and happy about it, she just wants to be a kept woman, which does not make a very interesting story.
  
  Then some rivals for his affections are introduced for no real reason. When the heroine gets upset that a previous flame was flirting with the H and touching his face and his response was to smile at the rival (even though he knows the h has some serious trauma and confidence problems) the h is made to seem as having trust issues and he gets angry at her that she won’t trust him. How about not letting someone you know is in love with you touch you and flirt with you when you are in a relationship with someone else?
  
  Not a lot of action or intrigue. Just a quick instalove (for no real reason) story. The shame of it all is that it had potential to be something great, if only it was developed further, if the characters were given real depth, if the story was expanded.

  I’m finally discovering alien romances that don’t take a looooong time to set up. This one leaps into a story about human women who are abducted, rescued by evil people, then rescued by good people… although their group is split up in the process.
  
  I didn’t love the pairing of this one. Terex is a hot warrior and Ellie is a shy, short, curvy kindergarten teacher who can’t believe he’s into her. What I didn’t like was that throughout the book they never really talked to one another about their wants or the future… and even at the end when she’s insecure because an ex-lover is flirting with him, he’s like “how dare you dishonor me by thinking I would cheat” and then leaves her alone. Like… after she told you how she was bullied and her pageant queen sister tortured her, you’re not going to give her a pass for being insecure?
  
  The aliens on this planet are again, not really aliens. They’re basically muscular guys with a few strips of scales on their skin because they’re descendants from dragons, but appear to just be oversized humans. The world building seemed a tad underdeveloped, unless I missed how everyone was able to speak the same language immediately.

  All hell breaks loose when a small group of Earth Girls hits Agron.
  
  One Warrior just can’t get enough; even with Terex believing he was dying he could only think of Ellie’s kisses.
  
  “Kiss me…one last time…tiny female.” I crack open my eyes to find Ellie scowling at me.
  “You’re not dying,” she declares even as tears run down her face.
  “You don’t get any kisses until you’re back at camp.”
  “Cruel female.”
  
  And this young man wrung his tiny female out in the best way possible. The poor girl could hardly walk… Yes Please!
  
  Sweet story that I couldn’t put down until it was finished. As I was reading I was feeling sorry for this group of girls. They would have been better off taken by the Arcav. But, at least there was no mention of Horns…LOL

  I liked this story. I will never agree with the whole protecting women means taking away their choices but stubborn is as stubborn does! Also, a man who allows another woman to touch him when he knows that woman has already lied to the woman he claimed to love about being his "mate" in an attempt to drive the woman he loves away is totally in the wrong. And making the woman he loves feel like the hurt and jealousy is all her fault is sucky! Yes, she needs to recognize her worth and beauty but you do not kick someone when they are already down. You help them up until they can stand by themselves. I'm the end it all works out though.

  This was pretty fare for an Alien romance. I wish that there would have been more of when the women were stolen to how they ended up at the first auction. It seemed like after the ship crashed they lucked out, but sadly that wasn't true, it was only later after they were saved again they were told how bad of a situation they were in.
  
  It was interesting to see Ellie, Vivian, Nevada and Alexis settle in at the new place. All of them made some interesting choices about the missing women, Alexis, most of all. I was glad to see how things ended for Ellie and Terex and look forward to reading more in this series.

  I really enjoyed reading this book. A group of women have been taken from their beds on earth and wake up in a strange ship in a cage where they are in all forms of being undressed. Ellie is the only one in flannelette pjs. All the other women are gorgeous and tall and fit looking, while she is short with a large bust, wide hips and thick thighs.
  
  The group of women are then taken from the cage and one by one sold at an auction and then taken to another spaceship and into another smaller cage and locked in. Then their ship crashes on a planet so foreign from earth and they are rescued by a race of men they have never seen before. Then they are rescued by three new types of aliens who tell them they are rescuing them from aliens who will eat them. There is a battle and four of the women have been carried off. They embark on the journey to their village with he promise to find those who have been taken.
  
  Terex is the leader of this group of men and he finds Ellie to be a prize among women and decides that she will be his woman. This story develops into a fantastic tale of endurance, adventure and a sweet romance filled with hot steamy moments between Terex and Ellie. Well worth reading, and I have been left wanting to find out more of the journeys of the other women. I’m totally hooked on what promises to be a great series.

  I enjoyed the setup of this book and the world building is wonderful, i like the characters and slow burn feelings. The conflict worked really well too, as seemed fitting and true to who they're.
  
  Ellie and Terex are rather adorable together, learning about one another as they go and differences between them. Both are rather set in their ways so it was fun to see them push each other, Ellie with trying to protect him and Terex admiration from the start.
  
  Especially admired the woman so much and how they supported each other. Even with their differences, they bond over the situation and fight for each other. Not willing to sit around and wait for the aliens to help, took the situation into their hands.
  
  True it may seem foolish with their lack of knowledge on this world, but I appreciated it so much that they were willing to at least try. I probably liked that more then the romance, that the woman are a challenge and very different perspectives on events. They were not damsels in distress throughout, they tried their best even if they didn't always make the best choices.
  
  Overall I enjoyed this story, it was fun and fast paced with lots of growth while leaving open for the next books. Still gives them a happy ending 💕
  
  I didn't like the Hero of the next book at all, so I'm not interested in continuing the series.

  Taken by one alien race only to be saved by another! This is a continuation of Hope Hart's Arcav series and features the missing women from the first book. I enjoyed this actually a little more than I thought I would. Really hope Nevada's book is next!

  One hunky playboy alien warrior met one sweet (ex) human teacher with confidence issues. The book was a good kick start for a group of a human female trying to survive an alien planet. I have to say, I now kinda dig all this stranded-in-new-world-slash-planet with a game of survival as the main backbone. This book, in particular, was quite intriguing. Not only that it took a light on how the h tried to survive in a planet and its habitats, but also dealt with being in a team, body issues, and crash course on survival 101; on top of finding the love of course. I like how the story kept evolving as the characters in the story popping in. I guess that's a must since there're sequels. All the characters were well developed and, I have to be honest, I liked all of them; with their flaws and quirks. The book was also easy to digest and read.
  
  No virgin
  No one-mating scheme, H/hs had past lovers
  Alien warrior H, (ex) teacher human h
  NO contraception
  No OW/OM, though H's past lovers kept on trying to stake the claim
  Impregnation
  HEA
  Overall score: 4.5 interspecies coupling stars

  I felt a little lost at first...like I should have probably started with the "Arcav Alien Invasion" series first.
  
  Elllie was a great heroine but she lacked some self-confidence which is to be expected considering all the bullying she's been through.
  
  Terex was definitely my favorite...very sweet and sexy.

  Really cute!
  
  This book slowly won me over. Between Ellie’s growth and Terex’s loyalty, I was completely smitten in the end. I’m looking forward to getting each woman’s story!

  Great start!
  
  I was looking for a good alien romance and stumbled upon this little gem. I found it intriguing and couldn't put it down. I will be reading the next one and would recommend.

  This was ok. I couldn't really get into it.
  
  Female humans are kidnapped. The ship goes down. They are kidnapped again, then rescued by another race of aliens. Who promises to keep them safe. Ellie wants to believe that they will keep them safe, but she is so insecure and self-conscience that she doesn't really see what's going on around her. That a mighty warrior Terex is claiming her for himself. She stays in his hut when he is injured she takes care of him.
  
  Honestly, I'm not sure what he see's in her. Terex is a warrior, next in line to be king of his clan and he's interested in Ellie and not Nevada? She'd a least be his equal. I felt no chemistry between Ellie and Terex.

  Different
  
  I liked this book and characters were interesting and made you want to know more. We got quite a bit of back story for Ellie but for Terrex not so much. I want to more than he’s a good fighter and best looking. Ellie talked about her life but it all seemed very one sided she didn’t ever hear about his life growing up.... He’s a warrior and women are treasured that’s great but doesn’t explain about him just where he’s from. I Like how Ellie finally gets over her issues to claim what is hers. But me if I share and care about someone then you ask questions. I did enjoy the book and gave 3 stars but I would just need more...

  Great job on this first book of this series. Eight women abducted from earth. Ellie a kindergarten teacher. Who is small, curvy and believes to be average looking. But once teresa sees her he is immediate transfix, he wants to know everything about her. but she and the other women want to leave and go back home, what will happen next?

  It was okay I guess, h was way too chilled out even after knowing she was abducted by aliens. There was lot of unnecessary name giving to her fellow mates because they didn't like her.
  
  And this book felt so much like Ruby Dixon's books so nothing felt new. H was good too but I liked the other character Nevada, the MC from next book the most, so I'm just gonna read the next one immediately.

  A great start to a new series. And it looks like each of our new aliens have taken a liking to our human females, and it’s making me giddy. Can’t wait for the next book.
  
  I loved it.

  Fun, sweet & romantic. I’m going to keep reading this series, the author does a good job with the story and character development. While the plot isn’t complicated, it is entertaining enough to keep me coming back for more.
