Blind Fall

Alien Mate Romance

By: Amanda Milo

Narrated by: Callie Dalton, Teddy Hamilton

I was gifted as a slave-bride to an alien giant.

That's the start of my day. At least I have my guide dog, Kota, with me. I'd be lost without her...literally.

Yes. I'm blind.

And our new alien owner is kind enough that he's not holding me to the wife or slave deal even though that's what I was intended for. We've basically been dropped into a scene from Little House on the Alien Prairie, complete with his one-room cabin, and he's been the perfect gentleman. He's pretty great, and I'm actually starting to wish I could take him home with me.

He doesn't know it yet, but the threat of him going into "rut" is no longer a deterrent....

Contains mature themes.

Not bad but not my favorite

I have read several of Milo’s books, and a couple from this series. This is probably my least favorite. I’m not saying it’s a bad book! But the first two books in the series I liked a lot more. But the concept of the main female lead being blind was interesting, as I’ve not read that POV before.

Rather unique sci-fi romance

I enjoyed this audiobook very much. The heroine is a blind woman who was taken from Earth by slavers along with her guide dog. The hero is a trainer of some animal equivalent to horses and his friend buys him the heroine as a bride. He’s shocked, but very attracted to her. But when she says she wants to go home, he feels he must allow it due to his honor. As days go by she begins to fall for him. Can they come to a way to stay together? Narration was excellent.

Wow! Unexpected! New One for Favorite Author Shelf

If you adore Ruby Dixon or Ava Ross, you will love this book. Alien romance gives authors the unique ability to completely make up their own world, and what makes sense within it. I love this, because plot points and romantic encounters that would be distractingly unbelievable in a contemporary romance become pure entertainment in this genre. A more heartfelt, funny, swoon worthy romance is not to be found if it’s done right as a sci-fi romance. I was charmed and captivated by this couple’s slow burn romance. The chemistry was hot! The affection and respect was deep. The happiness was infectious. Highly recommend!

Cowboys and aliens!

Narration Type: Dual Narration

The Heroes: Breslin - he breeds and trains Narwari, a four hoofed beast of burden, bred for pulling heavy carts on rough terrain. He has his own Narwari, named Meesahrah, who is very large but a bit of a brat. While on an auction planet to sell his Narwari, his friend Eaken decides to purchase a Grafalla female, when another female catches Breslin’s attention and sees that something is not right. They see that some of the females aren’t actually Grafalla, and Eaken is determined to buy one, and he talks Breslin into getting the other that has some sort of beast and seems in a lot of stress.

The heroine: Sanna - she is blind and has a service dog called Kota. She is abducted by aliens, then sold at auction. She worries Kota will not be sold with her but luckily the alien that buys her also buys Kota. She isn’t given a translator, so she can’t tell what the male is saying to her or her dog for the first part of the book.

The Story: Though Breslin doesn’t approve of buying and selling sentient beings, he wants to rescue the female he was watching. His friend Eaken tells Breslin he bought her as a bride for Breslin. Breslin uses his knowledge of how to train Narwari, as he forms a bond with the female and comforts her as they move towards Eaken’s pirate ship.

The animals in this book were pretty good, each with their own distinct personality. Kota couldn’t stop biting Breslin at the beginning every time he reached for Sanna, and Meesahrah did what she wanted a lot and was quite a rascal.

I don’t know why so many alien romance books have enough technology and advancement to kidnap women from earth and fly them to another galaxy in a high tech spaceship, but then end up on planets with no technology whatsoever. In this one they live on a farm, and granted there will even be farms on advanced civilizations, but this farm had no technology. Heck even on earth farms have the internet, iPhones, iPads and video games. Whereas in most alien romance books, they live on super primitive worlds.

This book is told in dual points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Teddy Hamilton and Callie Dalton. Teddy is one of my favorite male narrators with a deep sexy voice which I love in just about anything he narrates. Callie Dalton has a youthful, but sort of annoying sounding voice which I can’t explain but wasn’t too fond of. Though she was a good narrator and showed emotion through her voice well.

Dayyyyum this is cute though…..

I read a decent variety of sci-fi and smut and this is the definition of an alien meet-cute. It’s a short read, and deff worth picking up. Nothing heavy, just cute alien fun.
