Ah, Eve Langlais, another jaunt through the alien
impossible. What can I say. Have a drink.
Have another. You need to be a
little silly to digest this silly tale.
Purple alien, Phyr and a couple of sidekicks have
conspired with this author to make away with a number of her single fans that
come to a ‘Romancing the Capital’ convention.
Mistaking the purple pirate for the entertainment, Brigitte, the
co-ordinator for this little event is swept away with a number of other women
to be sold on the market at Aressotle because they don’t have enough women to
marry and procreate with.
The purple pirates while being misogynistic arseholes manage
to be somewhat likeable, naïve - stupid when it comes to women; violent and
possessive but they do manage to avoid raping their victims which is handy if
you want to get women on your side. All
the women are of age which is apparently important – at least to purple aliens
of Aressotle - and all is done with consent even if induced by coercion – in Brigitte’s
case that is – clothes and freedom of the ship for a blowjob *shakes head*
Really! Not sure about the other women
completely, but at least a couple seemed to be more than happy to oblige just
for the hell of it. Apparently present
single women with a purple alien of masculine proportions and they all turn
into alien fan-sluts.
I loved the beginning of the story, the refreshing take on
the alien invasion of the convention for alien lovers of Eve Langlais
books. “We all love purple!” they cry.
It was fun. And then of course it
turned into a space romp complete with laser fights, further abductions,
unexpected attachments, bad boy behaviour, a feisty heroine who tells him where
to get off -until she doesn’t - and mind blowing… well you can guess the rest.
It was fun and silly, but I had to be drunk to avoid what in
reality it was making light of.
Abduction and coercion into marriage. If I think about it too much, the premise is
actually really shameful. However in the
light in which it was written – it’s not a piece of literary writing advocating
the right of men to abduct women for their own purpose – it’s just a silly
romantic fantasy and given that, I can only rate it on my enjoyment factor at
the time that I read it.
