When She Wishes

Risdaverse

De: Ruby Dixon

Narrado por: Jillian Macie, Mason Lloyd

Payton needs help on her farm. Heavily pregnant from a one-night-stand, she can't manage all the manual labor and is supposed to be on bedrest. An alien man from a cat-like warrior race arrives on her doorstep with an offer to work for room and board. Bodhrri will get to stay on the planet, and Payton will get an extra pair of hands to help out until her babies (yup, plural) are born.

Tiny problem—he's the father of her unborn children and he had no idea until now she was pregnant. Is this a secret baby plot?

(No, it's secret BABIES.)

When She Wishes by Ruby Dixon (Part of the Risdaverse series)

This is a sweet novella about Payton (human female) and Bodhrri (Praxxian/cat alien). She is living on Planet Risdaverse in a human sanctuary. Payton is a farmer and heavily pregnant with multiple babies from a 1 night stand and unable to take care of her failing farm. So she seeks to hire a farm hand to help her. Bodhrri, wants the job, which would allow him to stay on planet Risdaverse. When he shows up for the job, he discovers that he's the father of her unborn babies as a result of their one-night stand. This is a sweet and endearing story and I enjoyed it immensely.

When you wish upon a star

“He’s not real … what man wants to dote on his very pregnant employer?”
At under 2 hours, I expected minimum conflict and maximum wish fulfillment, but Bodhrri is so unrealistically perfect that the story was little more than a dream. Who wouldn’t like a guy who shows up at the right time, solves all your problems, rubs your feet and locates pickles for your cravings? I would’ve liked a bit more plot and comedy to go with the instant Os, however, this works great as a quick holiday pick me up.

Sweet story

Absolutely sweet story. I enjoyed it from beginning to end. The MMC was such a darling and a dream.

Decent story, poor audio

The story was pretty good for the length, her best novella published in the last few years. It wasn't instalove and there was some real emotion and a little character growth. Unfortunately they needed to spend more time on editing because the last 8 minutes had noticeably awful quality where it sounded like the voice actors were too close to the microphone, and their voices reverbed a bit. With an author as popular as Ruby Dixon there's really no excuse for the production company not to have great quality.
