My Human Pet by Olympia Black

4 Stars

This novel was fairly well written and very well edited, with few if any typos that I caught in the ARC version of this manuscript. The world building of the Empire was fairly good. The characterization was excellent for an erotica, with both hero and heroine being sympathetic characters. There was a romantic relationship which developed between the hero and heroine of this novel, but the romantic relationship had a somewhat ambiguous ending. The plot and pacing was excellent, with me turning pages rapidly in order to find out what was going to happen next. There was a high amount of angst experienced by the heroine, but it was entirely understandable with her situation. The stakes are not very high in this novel until the end, when the hero is racing to get the heroine onto the only ship taking human pets back to Earth. However, I still enjoyed this erotica. This novel contains the Human Trafficking trope so popular is sci-fi romance and erotica. The characterization of this novel was five stars. The development of the romantic relationship rated two stars for my romance novel loving self. The world building rated four stars, and the plot and pacing also rated four stars. The combined score for this sci-fi erotica was therefore four stars. I recommend this novel to readers who enjoy well written sci-fi erotica with sympathetic protagonists. I will not be buying myself a keeper copy of this novel, simply because I prefer erotic romance novels to erotica.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
