Tonight, this house doesn’t feel like just a place to sleep. It feels like a home. It’s a good feeling, and I know she’s responsible for it.
I genuinely enjoyed this book but it was not memorable. I can not with a straight face tell you what this book was about, and I read it less than a week ago.

3.5 rounded up! This was cute but nothing too special. A very short novella with like-able characters, but not a lot of depth!

This is a super short story that starts with a faked identity and just winds up being a fun little romp. Gonna have to try some of Ruby's novels I think :)

5 stars!
I drop everything when Ruby Dixon releases a new book. As soon as I seen that a friend reviewed it - Hi, TriciaLen - I had to stop what I was doing and read it. Of course I wasn't disappointed. I was a little surprised, though.
You see, I am not a novella lover. I actually avoid novellas unless I love the series and/or the author. Novellas, for me, usually mean rushed storylines and plot holes. Those are two of my biggest pet peeves in any book. I need for everything to be wrapped up nicely in a complete and orderly fashion. Nothing should be left unsaid or untouched. As much as I love Ruby, she has rushed through some of her full-length novels so I was hesitant starting this one.
Leave it to Ruby prove me wrong. There was background information given on both main characters. We get to see them face their fears and fall for each other. All in 84 pages! It was wonderful. It was heartwarming. Most importantly, it is a complete story.
All alien-lovers should read this. Highly recommended!

3.5 stars. I originally found ruby's work through IPB and honestly this was a quick read and had some cute things but it just didn't quite scratch that IPB itch.
