Strange Love

???Strange??? is the best word to describe this book. It???s light in tone, there???s a talking dog, and the male character is gentle and kind with none of the possessive alpha male behavior common to the alien-in-search-of-a-mate romance trope. The plot revolves around this alien competition or contest (???The Hunger Games??? style), in which people participate to win the right to mate in this alien world. A human female is accidentally ???abducted??? from Earth and ends up on a different planet where this contest is starting. Warning: sexy times were a lit bit cringy because the alien had a totally different anatomy, so, yeah, very weird.??
