Accidental Abduction (Alien Abduction #1) by Eve Langlais

Eve's purple aliens are something most of her fans know about - I'd heard of them, seen the covers, read the reviews, and finally decided I should just get started. This is one of the few science fiction romance authors that seems to do so much right. Her aliens are purple - they are not made up quite the same as a human male - but they work in all the right spots. Tren is a great introduction to the purple aliens (I'm not sure if their species was ever given a name). He is tough, protective, knows how to get the job done, and isn't too hard to look at. Although the purple probably took some getting used to.
Megan is unlucky. Not only did her boyfriend just leave her in the ocean to drown, but now she's been abducted by an alien. She tries to take it all in a stride - and she's a little too successful. I would expect at least a few break downs along the way, but she is one tough cookie. She mouths off to him every chance she gets and soon he finds out that he actually enjoys her nagging! The part that did bother me a bit was her casual nonchalance when other aliens were killed by Tren. I know they weren't human so she may have been able to separate herself a little, but she didn't seem to care.
Megan and Tren fall in love by arguing with each other until they decide that having sex is the best way to keep the other quiet. It works quite well until several blasts from the past come back to haunt Tren. His protective instincts were fantastic and I loved how devoted he was. This was a great introduction to the series, and I know it will only get better.
