Title: To Serve My Alien Man
Author: Sabrina Kade
Genre: Sci-Fi/Romance
Rating: *****
Review: So, this is a short novella in the Rebels of Sidyth series and this also focuses on Layla and Dolan, while I didn’t love this couple in their own story, I was excited to see more from this world and all of these characters. Despite being less than 50 pages long I really loved this side to Layla and Dolan’s relationship. The whole story centres around Layla’s insecurities while she is pregnant especially regarding her weight and while she never had issues with her weight before this does seem to be a major issue for Layla as it is with a lot of women. However, Dolan doesn’t react well to this as he sees Layla as the most beautiful, but he also doesn’t understand human insecurities which makes the situation even more difficult to deal and often leads to one or both of them storming off.
The most interesting part about the story is how the pair come to terms with Layla’s insecurities and they do this with the unknowing help of Ellis. Ellis is Hujun’s mate and recently gave birth to Junis but is having real problems as she was very small and is struggling to control the new-born who is strong enough to bruise her and she is also keeping Hujun at a distance wanting to do everything herself, despite pushing away all the other girls. Layla turns to Ellis and they help each other, Layla helps Ellis come to terms with her baby and even convinces her to let Hujun have more physical contact with their child and Ellis helps Layla realise that it doesn’t matter what she thinks about herself because Dolan loves her not for her body but for who she is and that will never change.
The ending of To Serve My Alien Man was beautiful as we see Layla and Dolan kiss and makeup and overcome the first major obstacle in their relationship. I really loved this story, but I did have one issue with it and that was despite knowing a few of the girls have got pregnant and even given birth we haven’t been able to see these scenes. I would like one book where we get to see the birth of an interspecies child and possible the emotionally reaction from the father and the naming of the child, it would be just a beautiful scene to add into one of the upcoming novels in the series.
