Ruby Dixon writes a great variety of alien romance. Despite the dozens of romances she's penned featuring blue aliens, no two characters and no two stories are the same. When She's Shy is a sapphic short story featuring Ali and Haina and set on Risda. This one is pretty short, but it's good!

It was just too fast paced for me. I'm halfway through and don't really care about the characters. So I'm DNFing.

Cute but very short.

The lesbian alien love story I never knew I needed. Would love RD to write more of these!

Why did the name "Ali" stand above every SINGLE chapter? Kinda redundant, isn't it? Anywho this was low-key boring and was missing the je ne sais quoi that the other books in the series had.

This is just a quick Risdaverse novella. A super shy human finds love with an outgoing blue alien. While the story is not complex, the characters are fun.

It was ok… I’m actually kinda sad because these two had potential but it’s SO let down by the book length. You actually get nothing & they deserved more. Super disappointed we don’t get to witness any of their romance because the weeks of courting is jumped over.
