When She Purrs by Ruby DixonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Alien Abduction With A Twist
This next book in the Risdaverse Series is a little different. Normally in alien abduction stories it’s all about the alien doing the abducting, but in this book it’s the human abducting the alien, or at least hiring someone to do the abducting, she just doesn’t realise that the alien wants to be abducted.
Kim is living on Risda, one of the female humans freed from slavery and given a farm to provide a living. She’s feeling isolated and scared after hearing one too many tales of human women being forcibly married off and killed for their land. She hires a bounty hunter to find her a kind and protective mate who will tolerate a platonic marriage. Despite the bounty hunter telling her it’s a stupid plan, she wants to go forward with it.
Kim’s neighbour is Nassakth, an ex-gladiator who is from a race of cat-like aliens and has been watching Kim for a while after seeing her and wanting her. When she finds out the bounty hunter is looking for a husband for Kim he insists on being her kidnappee.
Though this is a lighthearted and sexy story, there are also some really tender and sweet moments between Nassakth and Kim. Their two cultures and differing traumatic pasts causing conflict. Nassakth is incredibly patient and kind, just like Kim wanted, she just wasn’t expecting him to be sexy too. Their courtship took time, even though it started with a wedding. They got to know each other and learn to trust each other.
I really do like this series. It is based on ridiculous premises but the stories themselves are really enjoyable.
