About this listen
Alex
My job was supposed to be easy: Meet the dominant Alien race of Mukhana, negotiate an alliance, and leave. Being literally carried away into the night changes everything. Kidnapping a human is asking for trouble. Every alien in the galaxy should know that by now, but the nassa are more barbaric than expected.
Despite some small similarities with humans, their culture is hard to comprehend. They're kind yet controlling, warm yet stern. Even though he literally kidnapped me and will fight to keep me, Saar seems to respect me and maybe even care for me. Most confusing of all, everyone keeps calling me an omega....
Saar
Humans are confusing creatures. They send their most delicate and vulnerable through the universe unattended.
The moment I saw Alex, I knew he was an omega. Even though I was furious that he was being paraded around, unmated and unprotected, I was also thrilled because I knew at once: He was mine.
I will save my omega from his difficult life. I will keep him safe and protected, even if it means war....
The Alien's Kidnapped Omega is a lighthearted sci-fi m/m romance featuring a unique alien race, a sweet and confused human, a very well-meaning and equally misguided alien, and a forced marriage.

Negotiating all these miscommunications and cultural conflicts are where these tropes come alive. The author decided to just skip over as much of the background detail as possible. Despite the excellent narrator, this boils down to 'A big guy from an unfamiliar culture decided I was in danger and forcibly took me away from it, disregarded everything I said, claimed me as a battle prize and married me... but he was hot so I went with it. Also things might go badly when he eventually finds out I'm not what he thinks I am, but I'm really horny so I'm sure it'll be fine.' The angst feels manufactured, despite being situationally genuine, due to lack of effort on everyone's part to avoid it. The human tries to argue to a tribunal that the sexual acts were consensual using extremely juvenile language and reasoning, not 'I was a willing participant ' or 'Everything I did with him was consensual,' but 'He didn't do anything bad!' They are sceptical and discover he's reacting to an unknown alien chemical influence which he knew about and hid from them, and... decide that there's no reason not to send him back to the aliens if he wants to go? And then the aliens are annoyed with him for not telling them all the things that he tried to tell them about and they ignored. But since everyone's unexpectedly biologically compatible, everything is fine now. HEA.
I'm not sure the author has read any sci-fi before. I'm not sure if they're familiar with culture conflicts between humans. I'm not even sure they're familiar with any other alpha/omega trope romance works. There isn't enough quantity or quality of sex to consider it just sf-flavoured erotica. There's not enough emotional connection beyond 'want/have' for the HEA to be particularly satisfying.
I'm not sure who the right audience is for this work. It's too over-simplified for an adult novel but there's more graphic sex than is usual for YA fiction.
Requires suspension of disbelief in unexpected places (contains spoilers)
