3.5 stars This book was MPreg done right in a technical sense. These were normal human guys and in the context of the alien biology and physiology, the preg was very well done. And it is a book about love and relationships, more than anything else, with an imaginative Sci Fi context. Human men, captured from the Terran military, find a home, love and sexual bliss (non-stop, pretty much) with each other and their alien Master.

The mechanics of control and stimulation of the human males were a bit far-fetched, but possible. There are experiments where scientists stick an electrode into the pleasure center of a rat's brain and the rat will bar-press for electrical stimulation, without stopping for food or sleep. This book seemed to use the male prostate as a similar conduit to behavior control and bliss.

I did have a little bit of trouble with the lack of negative emotional reactions of the MC narrator and the other humans to their situations, especially at first. I think normal humans would have had more doubts, more fears, jealousies, arguments... and less bliss. All of the conflicts within this story came from outside the romantic pairings (and trio-ings and quad-ings...) in the form of danger, assault etc. The human military and society were portrayed pretty negatively, as a partial explanation for the guys' contentment. But the combination of being effectively plugged into brain pleasure centers non-stop plus physiology-altering drugs are required explain it. It could have been an even more interesting story if there had been conflicts within the household. The speed and intensity of the aliens' attachment to their pets also seemed rapid. Having said that, it was a sweet, imaginative, occasionally angsty, read and I did enjoy it.
