Synopsis (Goodreads):
I was abducted by aliens and auctioned to a positively lovely bleak place called the Underwater Pleasure Dome. An amphibious alien with hands like bug zappers helped spring me, and if you’ve followed my friends’ adventures, you know Dohrein and I teamed up because we’re both equally stellar, and awesome attracts awesome.

This is the story of what happened *after* abduction life.

The good part.

The part where we settle in and build brand new lives on this brand new planet.

I just need to have tea with my Alien-in-law and convince her to set her pet humans free.

No biggie.

*Wish me luck.*
Thoughts on Craved by an Alien: Awwww, yessss. Gracie and Dohrein. Gracie comes across as a little hard and ... I don't know how to put this. She wasn't unlikable, necessarily, but she wasn't the most beloved among the women who were stolen/rescued. But the lady had MAD loyalty for those she sided with. She stands up for Callie when Callie can't stand up for herself even as she pokes and prods at the abused woman to find herself again.

She's like a textbook example of tough love.

She's also a little insane with her utter fearlessness in the face of the broody aliens they've come to live with. But that might just be because she's bored.

In some ways, Dohrein doesn't seem like he'd be perfect for her, but he is. He adores Gracie and accepts all her quirks and the need she has to needle him. He loves that she accepts him for who and what he is. He's also sometimes detached and analytical to the extreme. Well, he's detached and analytical until Gracie sidles up to him and thoroughly distracts him.

MAN, I like these two together.

(And I really really REALLY like that Dohrein is trying to help the Rakhii by understanding what triggers the bonding instinct and how some of them are able to manage it as well as they do. The Rakhii seem to have gotten the short end of the stick with the Gryfala and it's about time they had someone thinking about them as more than just muscle.)

Yep, I'm still loving this series. HARD.
