"I Got Abducted by Aliens and Now I'm Trapped in a Rom-Com" by Kimberly Lemming is a hilarious, out-of-this-world adventure that’s impossible to put down! The humor is sharp, the characters are lovable, and the romance is both quirky and heartwarming. Lemming has a fantastic way of blending sci-fi, comedy, and romance into one wild, fun ride. Huge thanks to the publisher for the ARC! I’ve already grabbed a copy for my library system. If you're in the mood for something lighthearted, funny, and full of unexpected twists, this one is a must-read. Highly recommend it!

All the best parts of a alien romcom while being unique, humorous, and downright unputdownable. Dory is probably any of us if we suddenly found ourselves abducted by aliens, but honestly, who wouldn't want Sol and Lok by their side (and we can't forget our favourite lion sidekick Toto!)

3.5, rounded up. I prefer Kimberly Lemming's Mead Mishaps series, but I also enjoyed how BONKERS this plot is (alien sex, though...not for me). I give her props for innovation and hilarious lines.

I Got Abducted by Aliens and Now I'm Trapped in a Rom-Com
Mind you, this is my first impression of Kimberly Lemming's writing. lol
Every chapter had my mouth open & it kept getting weirder and weirder but I couldn't look away!
Babyyy I need all y'all monster, alien romance people to step to the front. Because is this what y'all been into??!
This was such a good time. I had no clue what to expect but I don't think I could have expected this. It was all over the place but somehow it worked? I laughed so much and just went along for the ride. This book was a lot of ridiculous fun and I'm living for it honestly. It was also very spicyyy.

Thank you NetGalley for an Arc copy of this book. Kimberly Lemmings writing continues to take you on a very fun, humorous, and spicy adventure. A great start to my why choose journey🤭.

I read this author for the first time in the Mead Mishaps series, so I knew I had to read more of her work.
The first book in a new series had me hooked again. It has plenty of fun, quirkiness, good spice, and chaos. From the title to the end, it was a fun read.
I did enjoy the Mead Mishaps more, but of course, I will continue reading more of her work
3.5 rounded up stars

I really, really enjoyed That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon and That Time I Got Drunk and Yeeted a Love Potion at a Werewolf, but something about this book didn’t hit as hard for me. It was still enjoyable and I liked it, but it really took me so long to finish. I do still recommend this if you need a short and funny read :)

Sure, there’s abduction and kidnapping, life-threatening scenarios, and questionable consent in the form of a poison dart administered mating serum, but Kimberly keeps it light, lacing IGABAANITIARC(😅) with so much humor and absurdity and giving the heroine a kind of logical / when in Rome attitude that allows her to embrace the situation while also not putting up with shit that you easily forget that anyone else would have major PTSD or have been eaten by a T-Rex on day one.
So, bottom line, this is an absolute must read.

3.5 Stars
This was fun! Be prepared to suspend your disbelief and just go with it. I was pleased there was an actual plot instead of just random hijinks and sex. How do I describe this crazy ride? Kind of like Ruby Dixon’s Ice Planet Barbarians (and just as spicy!) crossed with Jurassic Park, and make it a threesome. That's usually not my thing, but it worked here.

I read the title of Kimberly Lemmings latest novel and I know the cover and title says it all but I still had no idea where we were going with this and what to expect and I have to say, I was not let down. It was a ridiculous, over the top, action packed, spicy romantic comedy that never let up. I raced through it laughing the whole time while Kimberly Lemming did what she does best. I will always pick up her books.

Thank you @NetGalley and @penguinrandomhouse for the ARC. This was only my second Alien romance book and it was good. I really liked our main character Dorothy, she was independent and strong. Dorothy gets abducted and does not realize that she is part of an experiment to mate with Aliens who look like Satyrs. One of the problems is she is on a new planet that looks like home but has dinosaurs and warring clans from another planet. The only part I did not like was the insta-love troupe.

This book was so much fun to read. Lemming writes such beautiful, complex, fun characters and I love watching them get to know each other. One of my favorite parts of the book is the friendship between Toto and Dory. Obviously the relationships between Dory, Sol, and Lok are also so much great to dive into and are super hot as well. But it’s the friendships that really stand out! I’m hoping we’ll get to see a book featuring Blair at some point.
The only thing I disliked about the book was just how many different things (dinosaurs, lions, aliens, knotting, rom-com tropes, giant frogs?, etc) there were all at once. It was a lot at times. But also so fun and escapist and at the end of the day I had a blast reading it

This book is bonkers. Lemming throws everything at this novel and somehow it works. If you are looking for a sexy alien romance you can’t go wrong with this one.

Had a lot of fun as usual with Kimberley Lemming's novels. Give more and I will enjoyed them, laught out loud and turn pages fast
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

I loved every second of this alien rom-com - which took me by surprise, because alien romance isn't a favorite of mine, and I've struggled to really get into other books by this author. This is steamy and hilarious, with loveable characters and really fun world-building. I couldn't put it down and am excited for what comes next from Lemming!

I really, really wanted to like this one. The art on the cover is absolutely gorgeous and the blurb, right up my alley. But it was a slog, a rambling, slightly boring slog.

Not enough of anything for me. I needed more plot, more flirting (the meeting to spice went too fast), & the FMC need more of a personality. I was very disappointed by this. I liked her fantasy books way better.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC!
This was everything the title promised it would be! It was a short read but so much fun and highly entertaining, I can’t wait for the rest of the series.

Thank you PRH Audio for the listen, and Berkley for the ebook #BerkleyPartner
This was probably the wildest, most outlandish book I’ve ever read (listened) to, but boy was it a fun ride.
It felt like Mad Libs but make it a plot— and it worked. There was real back story here— she’s an animal scientist and she was abducted to another planet as part of a breeding program to help populate the planet. The whole planet is essentially a test zone of what each species like and getting them to cohabitate. On this planet there are also dinosaurs, and talking owl things that are the scientists conducting this experiment. Oh and a talking lion bestie that also may or may not have killed her in the very beginning leading to her abduction.
I think my favorite character was Toto, the lion. Just the line delivery and the bluntness—- it was chef’s kiss.
Again, what a fun read!

I wanted to read an adventure book and I thought this would be perfect! Although the premise sounded great and the beginning was going okay….I ended up DNFing around 30% in. I wanted to love this but I couldn’t get past the alien romance lol. I have realized that maybe it’s just not for me. I’m sure other people would love to give this one a try. It was fun up until the spicy parts. But that’s just me! Thank you again Berkley Romance for the finished copy.
*note I did not finish this book, but I will give this book a 3 star rating for the purposes of submitting this review.
