Alien Embrace (Clans of Kalquor #1) by Tracy St. John
Right then, from the start I will say this is a Marmite book with some triggers. You will either love it or hate it, and if dubious consent isn't your thing, then you probably won't enjoy it. As for me, I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Amelia is living on another planet after leaving sexually repressed Earth behind. Now with any situation where sexual repression is rife, so is the 'dark' side - rape, abuse etc. Unfortunately, Amelia has been on the receiving end of long-term rape and it has affected how she views sex. When she comes face to face with a clan from Kalquor, they are everything that she shouldn't desire, but does. She excuses what they do to her as they 'made her do it', even when she wasn't. It is the only way she can enjoy herself without drowning in guilt.
The three men of the Clan are each individual, with their own strengths and talents. One thing that is the same for each of them, is the love and devotion they have for their Matara - in this case, Amelia.
This is Science Fiction Erotica and I got lost in their world. Whether it was the debauchery of Plasius, or the virility of the Kalquorian males, it just ticked the boxes. There is enough length for you to lose yourself in their worlds. Very well-written, and with no editing or grammatical errors to disrupt the reading flow, Alien Embrace is a book to enjoy. Whether you love it or hate it, you will not be able to call it bland!
* I received this book from Totally Bound Publishing in return for a fair and honest review. *
