Rescued by an Alien: Alien Mate Romance (Stolen by an Alien Book 2)
By amandamilo
Book 1 was an amazing read and book 2 was just as compelling. No sophomore slump with this author!
I was VERY excited to see a new title in this series -by this author!! This was a great read, in depth, a significant # of pages and it solidifies Ms. Milo as a one-click buy for me.
I loved the first book Stolen by an Alien. I absolutely adored Rescued by an Alien. I was afraid to read this because I knew what happened to Callie in Stolen. She was amazing for all she endured. I’m grateful that the background of Callie’s abduction was handled without a lot of information, but enough to imagine what she went through. Zadeon was perfect, sweet, lovable, cute, alpha and kinda hot. This is my favorite in the series, so far. I will stay in this world for a bit longer.
Zadeon stole my heart. Don’t care if human or alien no other male could have been more caring or protective of his female. Absolutely the best.
Omg…I finally have another author to put in with my favorite authors group. This book has not just a plot, but like Ruby Dixon, the author has the ability to write about a tough situation in a realistic way. I also like that so far I like both her heroines….many Alien romances have the most pathetic complaining girls. Callie’s gone through a lot, but her character shows many facets of emotional growth without being annoying. My only complaint? I now have to wait for the next novel to come out.
Book 2 in this series
Ok ok ok just when I think this series couldn’t get any better… I’m knocked right out of my socks and blown away.
I thought the first book in this series ( stolen by the alien) was a brilliant read. I knew Z and Callie we’re gonna have an emotionally rough time but damm…their story was one that hit me right in the heart; more than a few times killing me with THE FEELS! Sadness, pain, joy, love, humour..this book has it all!!! ( I ADORE GRACIE!!! Just saying )
As in any book that has a H or h that has suffered a trauma in their past, there are tough moments but ( really good trigger warning at the start of the book, but if you’ve read the first in the series you are made aware that Callie has been abused ) this book focuses on the healing and the strengthening of Callie, with z’s friendship and love to overcome and rise above.
Words fail to express how much I enjoyed this book. I will be stalking this author for new releases some thing HARD!
this was full of heartstrings and emotions. Callie made my heart bleed. Being brutalized, in every way, by her captors she is rescued by Zadeon a gladiator. His species is very touchy-feely with their mate going as far as to scent mark them with their tongues. he knows she is his but he is also aware of her being brutalized and that she cannot do the things the mates usually allow/do. I legit cried for her. She wanted too badly to feel safe and not torture Zadeon but at the same time, she was so traumatized she couldn’t bring herself to do/accept certain things. It was a situation where no one was at fault so you feel for them both. I legit wanted to hug them both and take away all their pain. Zadeon was a freaking saint. he works to get her trust then to build up her confidence again and lets her vent her anger and terror in a way that suits them both. I doubt she ever truly gets over it but she does move past it allowing herself to love Zadeon and be with him. this is emotional and at times dark. but overall it’s a book about overcoming trauma and moving on. a great, emotional, read.
This one wasn’t really for me in terms of plot and story direction and I struggled to lose myself in the unfolding story.
I did really like the first book in this series and also others by this author so I will definitely read this author again but this one just was not to my taste unfortunately it happens.
This story centres on one of the previous rescued woman Callie, she has been seriously brutalised by her snake captors and has been left with deep scars.
Her mate is Zadeon a former gladiator the previous book hero’s brother and he is totally gruff and growly with everyone except Callie that is.
In fact, Zadeon is the best part of this and without him, I might have not finished this he is definitely patience personified and also so god damned adorable in all his ways.
Callie has been hearing his song in her head without realising all of her life and this story is all about healing from past traumas and forging new pathways.
Zadeon is the perfect alien book boyfriend and Callie was likeable enough I just had a bit of a disconnect and was slightly bored throughout.
The aftermath from the abuse was done well and sympathetically but I also felt that I had been dropped into a story with limited explanations and as such you really do need to read the first book in this series for further clarification.
It’s been a while since I’ve read the previous book so I could have done with the refresh myself.
This doesn’t really work as a stand-alone in my opinion and you will need to read book one before this.
I also found myself getting turned around and confused during some conversations over who was speaking and with all the extra characters involved this could get a tad confusing at times, I also wasn’t a fan of the twist either, This was just Ok for me but I did finish it.

4.5 stars
Another amazing book by the author. This must be one of the top three series I’ve ever had the pleasure to read.
The characters are sweet and very well written.
In my opinion, this one was not as good as the 1st one and to be honest if I haven’t read the first one first I would have been a bit lost. Plus the whole “I dreamed of you before I met you” was a bit too much for me but it didn’t ruin the book.
I can’t wait for the rest of the books.
Note to self: re-read it. 🙂
