Book Review: My Alien Protector by C.A Varian

 

Book Description

Drunk college coeds don’t always make the best decisions—but Freddie never imagined that one too many drinks and a desperate search for a bathroom would land her in space.

It’s not like she meant to wander into a spaceship. And sure, the "bathroom" door she opened was suspiciously high-tech, but a girl’s gotta go.

Now, lightyears from Earth with zero memory of how she got there, Freddie finds herself trapped on a spaceship with a massive, horned, iridescent-blue alien named Aevo—who, to her surprise, is as brooding as he is weirdly considerate. And hot. Very hot.

The problem? No one’s taking her back to Earth. Intergalactic law forbids it.

Worse? Not every alien out here plays by the rules. And some of them are more than willing to risk everything for a shot at the forbidden cargo: humans.

While Freddie lives free, others like her are trapped in cages—and she can’t stand it. With danger closing in and her feelings for Aevo growing stronger, Freddie decides to fight back.

She might not be a warrior, but she has sharp instincts, a stubborn streak, and one giant alien who refuses to let her do this alone.

TRIGGER WARNING:

My Review

Freddie goes out partying with her friends but drinks too much and stumbles onto an alien ship where she finds a container to fall asleep in. But when she wakes up she realizes that the ship she's on is moving and she can hear others crying. She tries to listen to see if she can understand what they saying but it's alien to her. So she stays inside her container since the aliens don't know she's there. When her container gets moved onto another ship, she finally comes out and comes face to face with Aevo who's ship she's on. Aevo is a big, grumpy, blue alien with horns. Aevo sends Mechi, his robot assistant to help get her settled in a guest room. 

After a while Aevo starts to get used to Freddie and feels bad for her because she can never go back to Earth, back to her family and people. But he lets her know that there are sanctuary planets where some other humans are that he can take her too if she wants. But then he does something that even surprises him, he tells her she can stay on the ship with him if she wants that too. 

But Freddie is worried about the other females that were on the first ship she was on when she finds out they're probably being sold as slaves. So Aevo who is opposed to the slave trade as well, enlists the help of some friends to rescue the other females. While all this is going on, Aevo and Freddie realize that they have feelings for each other and want to stay together. 

This was such a cute alien romance. 

I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.
