I Got Abducted by Aliens and Now I’m Trapped in a Rom-Com by Kimberly Lemming

5 Stars

Dorothy Valentine is close to getting her PhD in wildlife biology when she’s attacked by a lion. On the bright side, she’s saved! On the not-so-bright side, it’s because they’re abducted by aliens. In her scramble to escape, Dory and the lion commandeer an escape pod and crash-land on an alien planet that has...dinosaurs?

Dory and her new lion bestie, Toto, are saved in the nick of time by a mysterious and sexy alien, Sol. On their new adventure, they team up with the equally hot, equally dangerous Lok, who may or may not be a war criminal. Whether it be trauma, fate, or intrigue, Dory can’t resist the attraction that’s developing in their trio....

As this ragtag group of misfits explore their new planet, Dory learns more about how and why they’ve all ended up together, battles more prehistoric creatures than she imagined (she imagined...zero), and questions if she even wants to go back home to Earth in this hilarious and steamy alien romance adventure comedy romp.

I loved listening to this audiobook. It had so much humor in it. It was lighthearted and so cute. I loved the FMC and the lion add in the two MMC who want her and it was just a good book. I enjoyed the adventure and the challenges in the book. The aliens that kidnapped FMC were amusing in how stupid they were. I really want to know what happens with FMC’s family and how it plays out on Earth but I always want that information. Cannot wait for book 2.

My Boyfriends are all Monsters by Kimberly Lemming

4.5 Stars

Tossing a coin in a mysterious well seems like a harmless way to cope with being ditched on a mountain—until every impossibly hot man in town starts competing for one woman’s attention in this steamy short story by USA Today bestselling author Kimberly Lemming.

Lucy Sawyer’s wish for true love lands her in an enchanted town where the men are supernatural, the chemistry is off the charts, and everyone wants to date her. But they say that things that seem too good to be true usually are, and soon Lucy may need to decide if she’s willing to pay the cost of her happily ever after.

 

I loved this book so much. It would have been a full 5 stars if we had found out what happened to the ex. I loved the story and how things played out with FMC. I am giving no spoilers with how everything plays out with the boyfriends cause the ending was fire. I loved the narrators and I want more in this world.

Best New Authors of 2022

In no particular order here are just some of the new authors this year who made me crave more stories by them and to blow through their back catalog. They left me wanting more and no two are alike. There are some dark romances, academy, omegaverse, and just a mix of books here. I truly do fall for books for different reasons. 

1. Kathryn Moon – I blew through everything she wrote and want more.

2. Yve Vale – She writes different kinds of stories that include space aliens and academy. This variety just worked for me this year and I read everything she had out and wanted more.

3. Lola Rocks – This is one of my all time favorites this year and I think made every list but the worst. The books just hit my feels just right and it makes me want to go back and reread/relisten to them.

4. Leona Page – Very dark books and hit the right notes with me

5. Merri Bright – This is another author where I found her back catalog and blew through everything that was available

6. Kate Messick – Reviews coming in 2023 Let’s just say her books are amazing and her character development is spot on. 

7. Brenda Rothert – So many good hockey books/players

8. Kimberly Lemming – So much humor and weirdness

9. Anna Carven – So many good space aliens

10. Flora Quincy – Reviews coming in 2023 the books were good mix of Alphaholes and some really strong FMC

That Time I Got Drunk and Yeeted a Love Potion at a Werewolf by Kimberly Lemming

 

4 Star

Brie isn't interested in a relationship with Felix after she accidentally threw a love potion on him. She thinks the only reason he's interested is because of the potion No matter how many times he claims she's his fated mate. When women keep going missing he refuses to leave her side to keep her safe. When she ends up kidnapped will be get to her in time?

I liked this one but wasn't as in love with Brie as I was with the last book. There was more frustration with her character. I loved Felix and wanted him to get his HEA with someone who loves him us he deserves Brie got there eventually. I liked how the book ended and the humor was still there. Overall, a good book and can't wait for the next one.

5 Star

Cin just wants to go home and sleep off the alcohol instead she runs into a demon and saves him. Now Fallon demands Cin help him take out his enemy. For some reason she agrees. They have 4 chalices to destroy. Will Cin be able to resist Fallon?

I loved this book so much. It was funny and I loved the interaction between Cin and everyone else including Fallon were well developed. The secondary characters were also fleshed out. The story moved quickly. There weren't any moments I felt Cin was too stupid to live and I loved her snark. Definitely check this book out.
