I’m Bored on Earth, Take Me

By: Olympia Black

Narrated by: Vivienne Ferrari, James Ford

It started as a joke.

A late-night video said, “If you want to be abducted by aliens, leave a comment."

I did.

Now I’m naked, caged, and staring into the glossy black eyes of something that doesn’t believe in safe words or human rights. Apparently, I’m being sold. Not as a citizen. Not as a person. As a pet.

And the worst part? I think someone out there just placed a bid on me.

Note: This is a short story packed with dark humor, alien danger, and uncomfortable desire. Listen at your own risk.

I Enjoyed It

I really enjoyed this book. It was a fun premise and I liked how she was treated like a pet. I've read a few alien romances where the human is treated like a pet- but this one really felt that way for the most part. Maeve coming to terms with her new life and what that entails wasn't that much of a hardship for her. Jase never questions she might be anything other than a less intelligent life form and pet. There was a nice contrast in alienness from human customs. The ending was a bit abrupt. She wasn't too unhappy with her position, but still a bit uncomfortable. Then all of a sudden (like literally a couple lines later) she was happy where she was and it was over. I think it could have been just a little longer to explore her new life and make that sudden "all good" perspective transition a little smoother. A fun, entertaining story. This is my first book by this author and I'd listen to more. I wonder if this would continue.

Vivienne Ferrari and James Ford did a good job narrating Maeve and Jase. I only wish Vivienne narrated Maeve's lines in Jase's chapters and vice versa. Jase only has a few lines in Maeve's chapters, and she a few in his, so it shouldn't have been too inconvenient to do.

The Aliens are coming!

After listening to this audiobook, I will think twice before commenting on random videos on the internet! This is what happened to the heroine. Her comment was, "Take me, I'm bored!" And this is exactly what happened to her. Things quickly become interesting, and she is no longer bored. Yes, this is a super spicy story and is a great escape book.

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

Fun

This audiobook is narrated by Vivienne Ferrari and James Ford . Maeve is the main character and when she is abducted by aliens she thought it was a joke. But quickly learns it’s for real. This short audiobook (about 1 1/2 hours long) is spicy with dark humor, so be prepared. It was a fun and unique story. The narrators really did a good job with it.

Okay Ms. Black… I see what you’re doing here.

This is a short, spicy, speculative story that drops you into a “human pet” scenario with zero easing in — and I get the sense that’s the whole point. Far from how I’d describe romance but still entertaining to read. Maeve, bored with Earth and craving connection, answers an alien ad (as one does) and ends up owned, renamed, and retrained by Jase — who wants a replacement for his last human pet, Cherry.

Now, is this about love? Nope. But is it an erotic, lifestyle-forward fantasy of 24/7 submission and identity reprogramming? Very much yes. Maeve does try to hold onto herself at first, even offering her real name and trying to advocate for basic needs. But she’s quickly taught “her place,” and by the end, she seems to embrace the role. Whether that’s empowerment or full assimilation… well, I’ll let you decide.

There’s a kind of bold, almost satirical commentary here — on what it means to be wanted, what people trade for attention, and how quickly submission can be reframed as purpose. And while I still have so many questions (Did Jase ever teach her as opposed to punishing her? Was this about one man’s fantasy or a group project?), I can’t deny it kept me listening. It’s weird. It’s kinky. It’s a little irksome. But it’s not boring.

The narration worked well for a quick listen, though the intensity of the content may not be for everyone.

Final Take:
File this one under “Not a Romance, But Definitely a Vibe.” Entertaining, erotic, and a little unhinged. Read it with curiosity and maybe don’t take it too seriously… I don’t think Maeve did either.

Take me from Earth

This is great using a social media post to capture the humans who wanted to be abducted by aliens. Only they didn’t know they would become pets.
“Cherry” became the pet for Jase and his crew.
Good narration.
