His Human Nanny by Michele MillsMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Sweet and Silly Alien Romance
I’d probably give this book 3.5 ⭐️ if I could.
I’ve found in the last year I’ve been reading more and more of these sweet and silly alien romances. They are cheesy, comforting and excellent at diverting from the mess of the world. With this one it was purely the series title that sucked me in. The beauty of Kindle Unlimited is you can borrow books on a complete whim and it doesn’t matter if you waste a few hours on something that you didn’t absolutely love. You can either finish it, shrug your shoulders and think, ‘well at least that didn’t cost me anything’ or even just return it when you aren’t enjoying it.
I actually finished this book and did enjoy it. I probably wouldn’t have bought it, but borrowing it was fine. Riley is a human on a contract with an employment agency. She’s one day shy of finishing her fifth year of her ‘one year contract’. She was young and signed a very dodgy contract. Just as she thinks she’s gained her freedom she’s whisked away to another part of the galaxy to be a nanny for an alien because humans are the latest trend for the uber-wealthy who need caregivers.
When Riley comes face to horned face with her new employer, Aegir, she faints from the shock of coming face to face with a being who appears to be the devil himself. Aegir kindly catches Riley and carries her to his car. His appearance isn’t the last shock of the day. Instead of the married couple she’s expecting, she’s got single father Aegir and fire breathing twin babies instead of a single flame-less baby.
In some respects this book has a fairly predictable plot, on the other hand the niceness of most of the aliens Riley comes into contact with on this planet is surprising. Everyone is nice with a single exception, the obvious causer of dramatic tension. This niceness is what helps make this kind of fiction the perfect escapism.
There is quite a lot of sexual tension, which when resolved is explosive and the loving and sweet HEA epilogue has it’s own kind of passion.
It’s a sweet book, with very little drama, and some sexy times with a big, loyal, home-loving, red-hot demon look alike. What more could a curvy girl ask for?
