Synopsis (Goodreads):
He’s such a creep.

Xan’tor is his name. I saw him among the other aliens at the auction. He couldn’t take his intensely yellow eyes off me. He didn’t even bid on me.

But when I was taken to my new owner’s spaceship to be impregnated, he crashed into it and ripped open the cage. I don’t think he even knows why. He’s all gruff and brooding. Okay, he’s freakishly strong.

And I guess he may have rescued me. Kind of.

But he’s blue with white spots and he has spikes everywhere. The bulge in his pants twitches uncontrollably whenever he looks at me.

He has a freaking tail!

And he won’t let me leave.
I really should hate him.

So why do I get butterflies every time he looks at me?

And why the hell did I kiss him?
Thoughts on Alien Creep: I liked this book overall, but I did think Mila ultimately got over Xan'tor's part in the invasion of Earth kind of easily. Did I want more angst and anger from her? I don't know exactly (because my angst-tolerance is a little low right now), but I wanted something...more. (And, yeah, I can't figure it out more than that. Basically, I wanted more something of which I'm not sure what.)

That said...aliens! I do like me some aliens. Even if they're helping subjugate the Earth and all her inhabitants. Okay, maybe I don't like ALL those aliens. The slimy ones leave me cold. But the others are a-okay. And when they finally take a stand and make a moral choice to do what's right no matter how it messes with their ability to earn some coin, EVEN BETTER.

Anywho. Xan'tor and Mila. He's the alien who swoops in and rescues her from a terrible future as a breeder for an awful alien. She's a kinda clueless resistance fighter who stumbles onto the right path more by accident than intent. (Also, the fact that the core tenant of the resistance philosophy is to take out as many aliens and captured human women as possible if they're ever in a position to do so kinda bothers me. I get that it's guerrilla warfare and all that, but that feels very much like they've already given up winning and taking back Earth and have just decided to go out in a blaze of glory.)

I feel like I'm being nitpicky seeing as I really did enjoy the book. Let's face it, hunky aliens and their mismatched crew who are all big softies at heart are FUN. And human women who tame them with equal parts grit and sweetness do it for me. So there you go.
