A haunting chimera of a science fiction story and a morality play - Captured won't fit into a conventional genre. A human woman destined for the lucrative meat market is saved by the very Attun trapper who captured her. Ekkatt seeks absolution for his many sins while Mari must deal with her own inner turmoil. After all, she's sleeping with the enemy. Everywhere the couple turns death awaits, either at the hands of law enforcement or the religious authorities. In this far distant corner of the galaxy, despite the dangers posed by the journey, Mari and Ekkatt search the wilderness of Attun-Ra for a rumored sanctuary. They have no other choice.

Alien Romance that stands out
I loved this Alien Villain to Lover Romance a lot. It stands out among all the other Alien Romance books. This hidden gem has a unique storyline and cultural interaction with generational karmic repercussions. It is fluently written [although the end could have been made into a second book] and the dialogues are authentic. The characters are believable and well profiled - no insta love or push overs. The world building revolves more around cultural differences and the resuming assumptions and misconceptions than nature or landmarks. The narration was superb - down to the aliens having a different cadence and intonation which makes them sound choosing their words carefully - comparable to an old Indian medicine man. This one goes into the top 7 of my Alien book [series] list.: If you like the "Warriors of Hir" series by Willow Danes, "Saving Askara" by J. M. Link or the "Horde Kings of Dakkar" series by Zoey Draven you will like this book too.
Fair warning though: the concept and logistics of a human meat trade is discussed in the book, but without the gore - so not for the sensitive reader.
