Acquainted with the Night by Tymber Dalton
5.0
4.5 stars
Who knew dub-con/non-con could be so fluffy? There were so many things in AWTN that usually make me dislike a book: characters being unrealistically accepting of their situation, instalove, captives being overly eager to please, mushy gushy declarations of love, etc. However, even while noticing them, I still really enjoyed reading it and I can't really explain why those things didn't bother me this time. I must have been too distracted by the milking machines, butt plugs, and alien egg-implantation. I still thought I'd only be dropping one star for a rating of 4. That is, until I got to the latter parts of the book that tugged my heartstrings and nearly brought me to tears. I have to say, I loved the ending, and I totally get the parallel the author made that she explained in her author's note at the end. So given how it left me feeling in the end, I'm giving the book 4.5 stars rounded up to 5.
