Publisher's Summary

She intentionally abducted him because of his prowess, so when the chance arose, he stole her for revenge.

Aylia is on a quest to get pregnant, and in the time-honored tradition of her people, she must find a suitable male for the task. Seducing a warrior is harder than she expected, especially when her body turns traitor and melts at his touch. When he flips the situation around and takes her prisoner, he somehow manages to steal her heart. And she might just have to kill him to get it back.

Being the scourge of the galaxy comes with consequences, like females wanting his body - and males wanting his head. After he meets Aylia, he learns that not all battles are fought using fists and knives and the deepest wounds come from the heart.

Through the vastness of space, brothels, and unmentionable places in between, can this stubborn pair overlook their pride and past to come together? Or will they forever abduct each other, unable to admit their love?

Intentionally Funny, Sexy, and Cute!

Eve Langlais has got an imagination! I like her creativity, and ability to write steamy romances with all types of characters. Whether the story is about shifters, demons, or aliens, she has proven she can write a suspenseful plot, and weave in some seriously hot erotic scenes. While I haven't listen to all of Eve's audiobooks, I definitely adding her to my list of authors to follow, and determined to check out each of her series.

Currently, I'm hooked on her Alien Abduction series. I really enjoy the balance of humor, suspense, action, and the steamy erotic scenes, and Intentional Abduction was well balanced. While the story may be on the shorter side, the plot was well developed, and each scene transition smoothly to the next. I really got a kick out of the characters, they were sexy, strong, proud, and made the story.

About the story:
Aylia is a warrior whose mission! She's determined to capture the worthiest male to procreate with. She finds Jaro who intrigues her, so she captures him for the sole purpose of getting pregnant. However, she just might have met her match. Jaro's one of the toughest warriors, and known as the scourge. He'll let Aylia think she has the upper hand, while he plots his sweet revenge, in the meantime, he'll enjoy her forced seduction. When the tables are turned, and Aylia's is on the receiving end, he'll teach all about receiving pleasure, and try to win her heart.

The supporting characters, Brax and Xarn were funny, and it was a clever way to introduce the next book's main characters, and give a hint towards the plot. I can't wait to listen to their story!

The narration was great! I think both Harding and Chandler make a great duo, and loved how they portrayed the characters, and the various emotions.

This story may be short, but is packed full of humor, action, erotic sex scene, and great plot. If you like steamy erotic sci-fi romances, this's ones worthy to add to your collection.

Rape turned romance

I liked the writing, and the audio narration.

But...

Content warning therefore spoiler alert...

Ok you've been spoiler warned. The blurb says seduction but even one of the characters calls it for what it is, rape.

I was a bit put off by the gender constructs talked of in the previous book, even if they weren't followed. The females supposed to be demure, quiet, obedient, basically there for men's pleasure and little else... ick... But the book didn't follow that for the FMC and the MC liked his female's quirk.

This book goes with a woman adopted into warrior women matriarchical culture, cool... Except the gender inequality is still very present both in and outside the culture... Fine. And then she is expected to stalk, capture, rape, steal his "seed", and start her own line. The idea of a sperm bank is brought up and is distasteful to her culture, basically it'll do if she can't succeed in her stalking, capture, rape, and baby theft but it would make her less of a woman and she would be looked down on. She even goes as far as disabling his birth control mechanisms and giving him something for more viability while he's unconscious, and not telling him. So he thinks even if she has her way, gets his seed joke will be on her...

He's no saint and, as seen in last book even if he didn't go through with it, wouldn't be above forcing a woman himself for his own agenda.

If this is what you are into reading and you acknowledge that this is not ok in reality, just as the reverse would also not be ok in reality, fantastic. But don't be under illusions this is a book that starts with rape of more than 1 sort. It doesn't matter if he likes it, it doesn't matter that it's her culture, it doesn't matter that he minimum planned to do similar, it doesn't matter that they end up falling for each other or that he admired her pre-capture for her eyes.

Rape is rape. Not reading pleasure kink shaming. There are just too many who are triggered by this to Not have the warning and too many others that think this is Ok in reality or "can't rape the (body) willing" or that men aren't raped, especially by women. But if you are ok with All of that I did like the writing and narration before I had to tap out and, for me, if it had been consensual, it would have been hot. Either way you've been warned.

Love these different cultures

If you could sum up Intentional Abduction in three words, what would they be?

Witty, Sexy, Fun

What was one of the most memorable moments of Intentional Abduction?

The barbs between the main characters

What does J. F. Harding and Holly Chandler bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I love 2 person narration. It brings the characters to life.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

A couple of parts I laughed out loud. Thank god I was in my car, otherwise, people might have thought me crazy.

Funny anglo/alien female kidnaps purple male.

This story ( part of a series) was funny & witty. An anglo earth female, as a child, rescued by alien (warrior) females & raised by them on a distant planet. Grows up & decides to have offspring by follows the culture of the people(female warriors) that raised her. Have babies by kidnapping a worthy male. I appreciate the strong female characters in this story AND the mention of a picture of a BLACK earth female when the lead character googles/researches "earth females".The conversations between the female & her captured purple warrior was cute but, I really enjoyed the the purple warriors cousins.. I hope there is a story about them. They seem silly. This is mildly eroctic, tad diverse but very entertaining..Worth a credit/money... Sure!

Shockingly good!

Sassy, feisty female characters who like to fight? Enjoyable male protagonists? Clever dialogue-heavy story written in third person? ALL. THE. YES. Yes yes yes! I had reservations about reading this series but those are all gone. Shut up and take my money. Also, write more.
I have one complaint. These books are so good, they deserve to be longer. There are a few scenes that spoken of in past tense that the reader doesn't get to see. I would have loved to read/listen to those more intimate scenes that bring characters closer. This book is amazing (this and the one before it), there is no need to boil anything down. Every scene is enjoyable and I nearly forgot they were supposed to be having sex. Good job getting me lost in the universe! Make it 10,000 words longer, please, and thank you!

Controversial Subject Matter Non Consensual Sex

While I love the characters I am a bit disappointed that rape was used as a vehicle for romance. CONSENT is key and while I have no issues with females being dominant I have a huge problem that the author used rape as a means for romance. CONSENT goes both ways and for the hero Jaro being subjected to rape on their first encounter really does disgust me at a visceral level.

Entertaining

I so loved these stories. This is the second or third time I've read them. They are so amusing. Don't stop the funny.

Intentional Abduction by Eve Langlais

Science fiction romance. 2nd book in the Alien Abduction series. Not quite erotica but close.
Amusing and romantic. Definitely on the light side of the genre.
I’m loving these purple aliens. Some strange ideas but loving and romantic at heart.
This abduction is female driven and the matter of force is handled delicately with attraction and humor.

I listened to the audio version narrated by J.F. Harding and Holly Chandler. The did alternating chapters and view points. A couple of editing issues where the male voice just sounded different like an overlay. And a couple of instances where the female sounded like she had a cold. Overall a well done performance.

A fun story that keeps you on your toes!

A much enjoyed audiobook!
The story was funny, serious & intriguing at times. You keep wanting to listen, I couldn't stop until the end... Loved it!

Just A Little Too Immature For Me

This is my first Eve Langlais Audible, and I didn't care for it nearly as much as the books of hers I' have in written form. Narrator problems? I don't think so. rather for me, it just didn't translate to the spoken word.
