Acquainted With the Night

By Lesli Richardson & Tymber Dalton
Acquainted With the Night by Lesli Richardson & Tymber Dalton digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

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

 

I hated the Terran military. I didn't volunteer, either. Like so many others, I was drafted as cannon fodder in the senseless Terran war against the Algonquans. 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.

 

Now, my entire ship's been captured. If what we've been told about the alien race is true, I'll never be seen again. I hope they don't eat me.

 

Turns out the truth is far different than we were led to believe. The Algonquans aren't vicious, insectoid monsters, either.

 

We're now their pampered pets…and they're using us to help replenish their population to win the war.

 

You know, maybe this isn't the worst life after all.

 

This standalone MMMM, sci-fi romance features humans as aliens' pets (and more), m-preg, a touch of power exchange, and…interesting alien tech. This book was previously published under my Tymber Dalton pen name. It has been revised and expanded for re-release.

Acquainted With the Night Reviews

4.0
“Boy did this book put me through the wringer! This was my first MMMM Alien romance and boy it did not disappoint! It went up then down then up again then back down! It was a never ending roller coaster. I’ve never felt so emotional from a book, I literally cried while reading. 🥺 it’s safe to say this has to be one of the best books I’ve read in a while. Other TW: mentions of Terrans controlling the population around marriage. Women simply being used to breed.”
“Damn. I didn't think this M/M would end up being so emotional and sad. Definitely did not like the ending. Still Crying and heart is still broken. :/”
“This made me cry so had it was so good through i couldn’t get enough of mark and dale relationship”
