A grumpy alien warrior, a rebellious almost-professor, and an alien paradise...

One moment Vera is peacefully studying for her PhD in Ancient History, the next she is helping an alien race who look like fairies defeat the evil male who had her abducted. They need her help and she’s not about to back down, not even when a huge, grumpy gargoyle shows up on their island demanding their allegiance.

Grabon went looking for a mate. Instead he found a rebellion. When he’s sent to crush one last lingering group of rebels, he discovers their leader is a female - a too smart, too pretty, and too passionate human female. He knows humans are trouble, and yet he can’t seem to resist the annoying little female.

The temperature isn’t the only thing heating up in this alien paradise - but can there be possibly be a future for two people with such different goals?

Each book in the Alien Abduction series features a different couple and can be enjoyed as a standalone romance. Intended for mature readers.

Honey Phillips

Honey Phillips is a USA Today bestselling author who’s mastered the art of combining steamy romance with thrilling science fiction. Her books are a thrilling ride through galaxies filled with alien warriors, fierce Earth women, and love that defies the stars. With her stories, readers are swept into universes where danger lurks, but passion always prevails, making her books a must-read for fans of intense romance with a sci-fi twist.

Honey’s passion for storytelling began early. At just five years old, she penned and illustrated her first book—a creation that, while brimming with imagination, lacked a certain polish in the art department. Thankfully, her writing skills have since evolved into a fine-tuned craft, while her drawing remains… well, let's just say, she prefers to leave that to others. Writing is her true calling, and she has spent years honing her craft, blending the excitement of sci-fi with the allure of romance in a way that captivates her readers.

Known for her Alien Abduction, Treasured by the Alien, and Seven Brides for Seven Alien Brothers series, Honey’s books are as much about fierce alien warriors as they are about the strong, relatable women who capture their hearts. Her stories are built on the thrilling premise of abductions and intergalactic invasions, but at their core, they’re about connection, love, and overcoming obstacles—whether they’re from another planet or the human heart.

Outside of her writing, Honey enjoys the simpler pleasures of life: reading, traveling, cooking, and, of course, savoring a glass of champagne—though not necessarily in that order. She’s a homebody at heart, but she dreams of visiting all seven continents. And maybe, just maybe, she’ll pet a squirrel or two along the way.

With each new release, Honey Phillips continues to captivate her growing fanbase. Whether you're a long-time reader or new to her work, her tales of passion, adventure, and the kind of romance that reaches across the stars will keep you turning pages well into the night. You can keep up with her latest books and musings by visiting her website or following her on Instagram.

If you’re looking for a wild ride with a satisfying, steamy ending, dive into Honey Phillips’ galaxy. You won’t be disappointed.

Alien Abduction

Sometimes, the stars don’t just align—they collide.

In Alien Abduction, readers are pulled into a galaxy where danger, desire, and destiny intersect in ways no Earthbound romance ever could. This standout series dares to ask: what happens when the abductors aren’t villains, but potential soulmates? And what if captivity reveals not just alien worlds, but hidden truths about love, identity, and survival?

Read more ...

Each story drops you into a unique slice of the universe—some lush, others brutal—where human heroines find themselves stolen from Earth and thrust into the arms of unexpected protectors, reluctant warriors, or fiercely loyal alien beings. But this isn’t a series about helpless damsels. These women fight, adapt, and challenge their captors, all while navigating the strange, thrilling gravity of interspecies attraction. Whether it’s through battles of will, forced proximity, or slow-burning trust, these connections are as much about emotional evolution as they are about chemistry.

What sets this series apart is how effortlessly it balances heart-pounding action with emotionally grounded intimacy. The world-building never overwhelms—it enhances. Alien cultures, power dynamics, and cosmic politics become the backdrop for deeply personal journeys, where the scariest part isn’t the abduction—it’s how much the heart might change in the process.

Perfect for fans of sci-fi romance who crave heat with high stakes, Alien Abduction doesn’t just explore what it means to be taken—it explores what it means to belong.

★★★★★★★★★★ 10 / 10

I really enjoyed this story and getting to know both Vera and Grabon as they worked together to help the Elvar. Both of them had strong personalities that complemented each other and I was glad to see how everything worked out for the two of them in the epilogue. I am looking forward to seeing Wraiths story in the next book Willow and the Wraith: A SciFi Alien Romance after his brief appearance here as well as in the previous book Unity and the Usurper.

I received a free advanced reader copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.
