Synopsis (Goodreads):
Can Jane survive alone on an alien planet? And is she really alone?

Jane has no interest in the great outdoors. She prefers her comfortable bed, her books, and all the conveniences of modern life. So when she wakes up alone and naked in what appears to be an alien jungle, her only goal is to find her way home.

The question of whether or not she’s alone is answered when a massive stranger comes to her rescue. Her savior is big and growly and he doesn’t speak her language - but the heat in his eyes doesn’t need translation...

Commander Taraxan’s people may have mastered advanced technology, but they have never forgotten their primitive roots. So when he wakes up naked and weaponless on an unknown planet, he is annoyed but not alarmed.

As he searches for a way to return to his civilization, he discovers a strange, pale female blundering around the jungle. Oblivious to the hazards surrounding her, she is clumsy, helpless… and completely adorable. As an honorable warrior, he has no choice but to protect her - but he doesn't expect the task to be so rewarding...

Can two complete opposites survive the jungle - and their sizzling attraction to one another? And what possible future awaits a human woman and an alien commander who are both determined to return to their own worlds?
Thoughts on The Naked Alien: Waking up naked and alone on an alien world (in an alien jungle, no less) is NOT Jane's idea of a good time. Except, as it turns out, there's a bo-hunk of an alien male who happens to be in the same position as her. You know, naked and on an alien world. Which works out nicely for her since she doesn't have the sort of skills that translate to surviving.

On Taraxan's end, he's...well, he's equipped to survive, but he's none too certain why or how he's ended up here. Jane sparks his protective instincts from the first and soon the two of them are teamed up. And then they are TEAMED UP, if you know what I'm saying. A miscommunication or two (stemming in part because he can understand her thanks to his translator, but he can't really explain things to her since she, you know, doesn't have a translator) and the dangers of the alien world are their biggest roadblocks.

A little danger (I say no thanks to spiders!), a few close calls, more than a few steamy kisses, and this couple find their happily ever after. *thumbs up*
