Review: Beth's Stable (Stolen By An Alien Series Book 6) by Amanda Milo

Beth's Stable by Amanda Milo
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ridiculous Space Pirates

I’d seen this book bandied about on various threads and finally decided to give it a go and I have to say it’s one of the most ridiculous RH book I’ve read. When I say ridiculous what I mean is pretty darn funny. I will preface this by saying that I normally get a bit squicked out by abduction romances because really that isn’t any way to start out with a fun story line. However, this book got around that by abducting a human who was happy to leave Earth to get away from an abusive ex and ended up being bought by aliens who look after her. Having that emotional chicanery allowed me to relax and enjoy the book.

Beth wakes up in an alien auction house at least 6 months pregnant when the last thing she remembered was being significantly less so and being on Earth. Bought by a hyperactive toddler hopped up on caffeine and sugar, otherwise known as Ekan an alien from a race of space pirates, Beth spends much of the next few weeks in a state of confusion.

Ekan and his shipmates come from a race that form crews around one female mate. They seem to spend all their time in space and relish the challenge of theft, be it gems, food or time with their mate. I like how though all the crew are the same race and have overarching behavioural traits, they are all distinct personalities, with different relationships with Beth.

This was decent sized book and filled with witty banter and miscommunications of things that get lost in cultural translation. Beth is a movie fanatic and spends a lot of time relating things to her favourite characters and scripts and as a movie fan it all made sense to me, though someone who is less aware of movies may miss some of the references, but I don’t think it would stop the enjoyment of it.

This is the first book I’ve read by this author, but I’m certain it won’t be the last because I loved the way she looked at the world and spent a lot of my time during my read laughing.
