Publisher's summary

I never expected to spend my days as a dancing girl...but it beats the alternative. In the window of a filthy space station cantina, I gyrate my hips and hope for better days.

When I'm bought by the most intimidating alien on Three Nebulas Station, those better days are on their way. Zakoar of the Broken Back is a cyborg who deals in black market prosthetics. He's terrifying to look at, with a metal jaw and a fearsome demeanor. He intimidates everyone in the galaxy...except me.

Zakoar doesn't want my name. In fact, he doesn't want anything from me...except a little bed sport. In exchange for my willingness, he'll take me to a human-friendly planet where I can live unafraid.

Love isn't part of the bargain, but every moment that I spend with him, I learn more about the male beneath the metal...

...and I'm suddenly dreaming of a very different happy-ever-after for myself....

Contains mature themes.

Amazing book

This is one of my favorite books in this series, her ptsd that makes her second think everything him been insecure about her but wanting her desperately, makes such beautiful love story that is about growing love and loyalty.
Thr narrators do a great job with the dialogues, i doesn't sound fake or ridiculous.
hightly recommended.

When She Dances

I enjoyed listening to this story about Tessa, who is a slave and made to be an exotic dancer. I love that she found her true love after a terrible life on a space station. I can't wait to listen to more stories from this series.

That girl in the window.

Not my favorite of the Risdaverse series, but still an enjoyable installment. I was kinda excited about it but the reality wasn’t as good as in my head. But with it being Ruby Dixon you know there was some sexy times. I look forward to more from this author. Narrators are great.

Love the story and Mason Lloyd

I love the way Ruby makes each one so different and each character is so unique. Great short story with a bit of steam and a HEA. I which I could rate the narrators separately though. Mason Lloyd is amazing but Jillian Macie just rubs me wrong. She can either read normally or turn into bitchy mean girl but she doesn't have depth past that. I think she might do well with contemporary romance but not Science Fiction or anything with action.

Another wonderfully written story

Going to be honest, Ruby Dixon could write advertisement for pop up adds and I’d probably be spell bound. She always leaves me in a squealing mess by the end of her stories. I can’t get enough of them, regardless of which series it is.

Trigger Warning

[Dubious consent, sex slave, bargain for freedom.]

Ruby Dixon is great at getting the reader to suspend disbelief in terms of consent. In RL I would definitely be like "Stockholm syndrome!" but it is a different world in space for a human female and the author approaches these grey/debatable areas with a glass-half-full perspective.

Male is grumpy yet vulnerable with a dry sense of humor.

Female is cautious yet sassy and loves to tease.
