When She’s Pregnant by Ruby Dixon

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Naomi has spent her entire profits from her farm’s yield for a fertility shot. She wants a baby to ease some of the loneliness of life at the edge of the universe. Unfortunately for her, the donor she had lined up can’t finish the job. What’s a lonely, ovulating human to do?

This one heads to the Port Custodial office and asks for help from the military custodian on duty.

Brawny but awkward Ainar isn’t sure why this human is insisting on needing his help for sleeping, but he’s happy to assist someone as delicate and pretty as the human colonist. And when he figures out what she really wants . . . well.

Surely this is a dream come true.

The heroine: Naomi – she was abducted by aliens and spent a few years as a slave before being rescued by another group of aliens. She ended up on Risda 3, a planet that is a sanctuary for rescued human females and others. She was given a farm and has been running it for over a year. Though she is lonely and wants a baby to break up the boredom of her days.

The Hero: Ainar – he is one of the custodians on Risda 3. They are the Messakah males that have been charged with ridding the place of mercenaries and keeping law and order on the planet. He is from a lower caste so he couldn’t get anywhere with his military career, so he decided to become a custodian at the outpost on Risda 3. Ainar has had no luck with females in the past. He is too eager and comes on too strong.

The Story: Ainar is nervous when Naomi comes in to the office, so he misunderstands Naomi meaning when she comes into the office to find someone to help her get pregnant. However, he does notice right away that Naomi is his fated mate. When she gets her point across as to what she really wants, he thinks it is his every fantasy come to life.

I love that Ainar thinks he isn’t worthy of Naomi because of his family name and caste. He is adorable and when Naomi wants to get busy right then and there, he thinks he is being punked by his friends. Naomi has spent all the money she earned on a fertility shot and the time to get pregnant is right away, so she needs it to happen, or she loses her chance. This story is pretty short, the audiobook is only 3 ½ hours, so I really wish it was longer, but from the way this couple starts out, their relationship moves quickly.

This book was told in dual points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Jillian Macie and Mason Lloyd. I love Mason Lloyd for alien romance, he has a nice deep voice and speaks in a cadence that works well for aliens. Jillian Macie has a good voice and sounds age appropriate for the story. She portrays emotions through her voice very well.
