Kimberly Lemming delivers a hilarious, steamy, and utterly unique rom-com with I Got Abducted by Aliens and Now I’m Trapped in a Rom-Com. Imagine if Jurassic Park had a lovechild with a why-choose romance and a BDSM novel—yes, it’s as wild and entertaining as it sounds!
The story follows Dorothy “Dory,” a PhD student specializing in wildlife conservation. On the cusp of completing her degree, a research excursion takes a tragic turn, and Dory thinks she’s met her end. Instead, she wakes up on a planet teeming with gorgeous aliens, talking animals, and a wild mix of species from various time periods. For Dory, a scientist to her core, disbelief turns into fascination as she grapples with a world that forces her to question everything she thought she knew.
Lemming’s ability to blend humor, heart, and heat is masterful. I found myself laughing out loud repeatedly, especially at the antics of Dory’s talking lion best friend, Toto (yes, named after The Wizard of Oz). Toto’s dry wit and unwavering support add an extra layer of charm to the story.
As Dory adjusts to her new reality, she discovers unexpected connections—not with one, but two drop-dead gorgeous aliens. The romance is spicy and emotional, as Dory begins to understand that her previous life was a series of “must-dos” and to-do lists. On this alien planet, she gets a second chance to truly live for herself, exploring emotional, spiritual, and sexual freedom in ways she never imagined.
Lemming also excels at world-building. The alien planet, with its strange flora, fauna, and food, comes alive through Dory’s eyes. Her scientist’s curiosity adds depth to the story, making her journey of rediscovery both intellectually stimulating and laugh-out-loud funny.
In short, I Got Abducted by Aliens and Now I’m Trapped in a Rom-Com is an absolute joyride. It’s equal parts romantic comedy, sci-fi adventure, and self-discovery tale, with a touch of kink to spice things up. If you’re looking for a book that will make you laugh, swoon, and cheer for a heroine who learns to embrace her wild side, this one’s for you.
