Acquainted with the Night by Tymber Dalton

I love series books because of the comfort zone, even when one or two characters do something that shocks you, you have the tried and trusted ones to pull you into the story. By this book, I was beginning to get more into the idea of it being a series. What I loved most: the insight into Tony’s feelings – we’d already met Tony in The Reluctant Dom, and I loved the domly cluelessness he showed at times. The respect for safe words, the safe, sane and consensual credo is so firmly embedded in everything she writes that even if I could tell it’s not for me, I was drawn into the love story and knowing that the characters could call red meant the actual BDSM details didn’t bother me much at all.

Tymber Dalton is writing about something she knows, and it shows. There’s more BDSM than in Safe Harbour or The Reluctant Dom but the romance is fore-front. This was an introduction to BDSM as Shayla the journalist investigates a BDSM club for a series of articles and falls in love with Tony the Dom who shows her the way. I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy it even though I wasn’t really into BDSM.

It has been revised and expanded for re-release.I was hesitant to read this at first because it was going to be more BDSM than I felt comfortable with, but it was written by Tymber and my TBR was empty so I convinced myself. This book was previously published under my Tymber Dalton pen name. This standalone MMMM, sci-fi romance features humans as aliens' pets (and more), m-preg, a touch of power exchange, and.interesting alien tech. You know, maybe this isn't the worst life after all. We're now their pampered pets.and they're using us to help replenish their population to win the war. The Algonquans aren't vicious, insectoid monsters, either. Turns out the truth is far different than we were led to believe. If what we've been told about the alien race is true, I'll never be seen again. Not like I had much of a future ahead of me, though, without a rich family to pave my way or even pay for me to have a wife. Like so many others, I was drafted as cannon fodder in the senseless Terran war against the Algonquans.

I hated the military.and now I'm an alien's pet!
