This was a romanceopoly pick that I decided to grab up for the "Outer Space" prompt. I have been meaning to return to this author, I read her once many years ago, and never returned. So I thought this series sounded so fascinating, I mean alien dragon shifters??? Yes please! So I really had a wonderful time with this one here. It was so enjoyable in many respects. It definitely had merits for a solid romance, but to be honest, it was quite rough around the edges. While many aspects I enjoyed, I think the writing style just wasn't that polished as much as I am used to.

I did find the set up of the story very interesting. The romance as a whole was completely solid and I really enjoyed this couple together. The hero crash lands on the planet, finds out that Abby is his mate, and she ends up in danger from multiple enemies, and they have to work through the outer conflicts that wish to drive them apart. There are quite a few hot steamy moments between these two. But I think what I really enjoyed the most was the outer conflicts in the plot in the later half of the story. It wasn't really what I expected, if I am being honest, and their time together as dragons 

 I just enjoyed seeing what the author delivered in this story.

I am not super eager to read the rest of the series though, because the other couples we are introduced to its going to be so angsty and just from the interactions we saw in this book, doesn't make me super excited. Because it looks like all of them will be enemies to lovers set ups and quite frankly all the heroines look to be abusive brats lol not really my cup of tea but I might read through some reviews and see if those change my mind.

Overall I had a blast with this one and very intrigued about this author's other works. Abducting Abby was a sexy alien romance that had bonker alpha vibes, a charming heroine, unexpected plot surprises and a delightful cast of characters to delight in.
