Mama and the Alien Warrior by Honey Phillips and Bex McLynnMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Sweet Alien Abduction
I’d probably give this book 4.5 ⭐️ if I could.
I was in the mood for an alien romance and this popped up as a recommendation. I wasn’t sure but the more that I read the blurb the more I was interested.
Abby runs a maternity home and is currently looking after three new mothers and two pregnant women. At the same time she adopted her niece after the death of her sister. She’s happy with her little girl and helping other young women who find themselves without support at a really difficult time, but her partner left her when she took on Lucie and decided to quit corporate life.
When she and her charges are kidnapped by aliens they are informed that they, and their children, are now products, to be sold for profit.
Hrebec captains a ship with other members of his dying race. Wiped out by plagues there are no women left of his species and to escape the trauma of failing to protect his race he and his crew decided to leave their home world and travel as reservists for the Confederated Planets Patrol. When they come across a slave ship they free the human women and find a baby girl of their own race, giving them hope for the first time in years.
This was a really sweet book. Everyone was really gentle with each other and respectful of each other’s ways. There weren’t great alien misunderstandings, just everyone trying to do their best for each other.
Lucie and Hrebec’s relationship was adorable and the big green skinned alien was so tender with her. I liked that Abby wasn’t 20, she had a corporate career and changed jobs to look after her younger sister’s child. She’s got a good heart and she is strong. She was very much the matriarch of the humans.
There was some steam but it was the sweet I remember more than anything. The steam was simply part of the relationship between Abby and Hrebec, which steadily built through the book.
I wasn’t sure how they would reach their HEA, but I was pleased that they did, and that all the other young women got what they needed too.
I’m looking forward to reading the next book, as they are nice and bite sized.
