They’re both battle-scarred—but her scars are on the inside.

Despite her tiny stature and sweet baby face, Ellis has always prided herself on being strong no matter what. Even as a call-girl on Hethdiss, she took care of herself. Until the night she was attacked by a renegade Sidyth.

Now she’s relying more than ever on the alien prince’s warrior Hujun, who’s assigned to watch over her, and she’s afraid she’s getting a little too used to depending on him for help—especially since he keeps saying he can never Choose her as a mate.

Hujun knows he’s not attractive to humans—he’s too alien, too scarred, and far too violent. That’s fine by him; he knows taking a mate would weaken him, and he lives for the kill. When his prince chooses to test him by assigning him to guard the tiny human woman, Hujun knows he can resist her.

Except he can’t resist her at all. He can’t Choose her, either. Ellis was traumatized by a violent Sidyth, and Hujun doesn’t know how to show his love for her except by killing her enemies. He’ll keep his promise to protect her—but that protection might just turn her away from him.

Promised to the Alien, the sexy third book in the Rebels of Sidyth series, includes all your favorite features: it is free of any cheating, includes a guaranteed HEA, and some hot alien heat to go with the sweet. Get your copy today!

Trashy Alien Smut

I'm always up for some good alien smut books. I'd rather have good than trashy, but heck, I'll give trashy a go too.

Ellis: Human Whore (trashy title) who flashes the rape victim card. To my understanding she was never actually raped. She just likes playing the victim. She teased Yayk to make Hujun jealous. When her ploy backfired Hujun stepped in to rescue her from her bad decisions.

Hujun: Brooding alien. Tall with scales and likes to play with mud.

York: Human Whore aka howler monkey in the back of the cave.

Blythe: Human Whore that smells faintly of old socks.

Yayk: Bad Yayk! Yayk this. Yayk that. Yayk Yayk Yayk.

Flock of angry birds: Human Whores. All of them. Too many to keep straight. Not that it matters. They all have the same annoying personality. And they tend to squawk and peck.

Favorite quote time! This is Hujun having a romantic moment describing Ellis's skin color.

Her skin reminds me of the mud on the walls if mixed with the slightest hint of jendari cream back home.

Boys! Always playing with mud and poking sticks in it.

I got a good chuckle out of this book for about a quarter way through. Then it became exceedingly annoying with all the recaps and lack of creative plot. Sorry Sabrina Kade, I just didn't find your writing style stimulating.

I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book, so I could give an honest review.

Just Too Tiny🐝

Save your 💰money on this book and read something else.
I read the whole thing and much of it is repetitive descriptions of the various characters and their assets or flaws.
The main female character is a tiny woman, under five foot tall. The author never missed a chance to describe her as such, tiny, childlike👩, etc.

I did finish this thing, but I feel it was mostly a waste of time. There are some pretty good descriptions of the planet, the warriors, and the wildlife, but those can't make up for a poor story line and unlikable characters, of which there were more than one.

I’ve hit a reading slump and I needed some light and easy options. These fit the bill. Definitely need some editing, the typos were pretty glaring and constant. But they were short and the aliens were cute and protective, if pretty misguided. Not sure I’d recommend them but I don’t think I’d talk anyone out of them either.

I thought this book was intriguing as well as very interesting. The author has created a world which is full of danger and gives more information on the above ground world. The relationship between her and her protector goes through quite the change in this book. It was easy to feel the emotions as the story played out. A great addition to the series. I am intrigued by the glimpse of Kansas and Layla in this book. What is going to happen to them? I also want to know if B will be okay. She's not as small as Ellis is but they're huge based on the author's descriptions and they're on a planet! Looking forward to more.

This is the third book in the Rebels of Sidyth series and focuses on Ellis and Hujun. Both have barriers from their lives they must work through before they can find their happy ever after. There is plenty of action, suspense and even drama in this book to keep you pulled in and rooting for this couple. I love how this book has more supporting roles coming to the front, it allows me to know that there is a chance for more books.

While you could read this as a stand-alone, I believe you would get more out of this series if you read it from start to finish. The author has done a fantastic job in sucking me into this world. This book is mostly about Ellis and Hujun. I love these 2 together. Hujun is like 7 foot tall and Ellis is barely 5 foot. It started as a bodyguard type thing. But Hujun can’t deny his feelings for Ellis. I love these aliens. I definitely can’t wait for more.

Loads of potential - Engaging plot, characters & setting - Still lots of background questions

For adults only (18+ years) Contains subject matter that may be a trigger or offensive to some including: adult language (and some creative workarounds), steamy intimate scenes and violence (fighting, attempted rape / assault, death). If any of these situations are a trigger or offensive, then this may not be the book or series for you.

This is the first book in the Sidyth series I have read. I was able to follow and slowly piece together most of the backstory, but I wouldn't truly call it a standalone if you want to fully understand the story universe. I don't see how this could be a spoiler since it is mentioned early and no explanations were given ... So here is an example of my questions. I still have questions about the dividing ... what it is, what caused it to happen, and potential consequences going forward. There are references in the story about them being exiled, no explanation about why some still follow the prince, how they picked out the planet they are currently settled on, etc.

There is a theme to my questions (they all center around the universe and background) and do not have as much to do with the couple, Ellis and Hujun. They must have had some interaction with previous couples featured since quite a few things occurred before the start of this story, such as he was already asked to watch over her due to her diminutive size, and she was attacked and almost raped before he was able to come to her rescue.

Now, with those background issues not explained fully for anyone just now reading a story from this series, I rated it 4 stars because the story and series has real potential. The characters are interesting, the setting is fascinating and the overall plot is engaging. I just found it a little frustrating after I read that some of the most basic background points / highlights from the previous stories weren't included.

This appeared as an ARC and I confess I dropped everything, grabbed this and hid from the world until it was finished.
I loved this.
This can be read as a stand-alone but you get much more from the series if you start at the beginning. The books are well written and despite the potentially depressing back story the books tell the stories of strong characters choosing to be survivors not victims

I read the first in the series and was hooked. A group of women who signed up as entertainers unwittingly find themselves as human whores contracted out to aliens. Their experience is horrific and they have no expectations of anything better on this new contract.The group are dropped off on a planet as ‘baby makers’ to an exiled group of aliens who are renowned for their cruelty to women.

This story belongs to Hujun and Ellis.

I hate leaving spoilers but if you have read the others, then you need to read this.

I love Ellis and Hujun's story. Those two probably look really odd together because of the height difference, but they do say that opposites attract. I really enjoy that Hujun is the ultimate protective guy and he wants Ellis to lean on him, but he also wants to build her up and he wants her to be able to stand on her own. I really love how they have a give and take relationship that they seem to equally share in. I really like the fact that the men are finally opening up to the women about the others on the planet. I know that the guys didn't really want to, but it happened so... Also I just really enjoyed this story over all. I think it was mostly getting to see a strong woman put herself back together after she had been broken that I liked.

Hujun and Ellis

This is their love story.

Ellis is short and thick with a baby face and Hujun is huge and is considered ugly. He's a trained killer and fighter but he feels so protective over Ellis. Humans are so much smaller than Sydith and she is the smallest.

She has feelings for him and he won't act on them because he think it'll make him weak. Le sigh.

After Ellis is attacked, they come up with a plan to get rid of the Sidyth aliens who want revenge. It was a bit brutal. Since Ellis and Phoebe weren't totally in on the plan.

Hujun was so stubborn and insecure that it took him so long come around and finally choose Ellis.

It's really sweet. I wonder how the pregnant mamas are doing and what will happen if the prince is ever welcomed back.

A unique match

Third book in the series. I’ve actually read these books out of order and had no problems. There may be some spoilers doing that but I still loved each book. Hujun is possibly the largest of the alien males. He actually seems scary to the human woman. Except for Ellis. She is the smallest of the woman and from the start Hujun has protected her. But what started out as a duty for him has become so much more to her. She cares deeply for him but it doesn’t seem he feels the same way. With her past and recent events he protects her fiercely but it makes her feel like a child. Can she get past her own insecurities to try and win his heart?

I did not read the prior books in this series, but I volunteered to review the book since the author says it can be read as a standalone. I'm not so sure about that. I'm having a really difficult time following many of the characters, environment and concepts in the book. I do appreciate the relationship between Ellis and Hujun; that has come across clearly and it's heartwarming. After all, who wouldn't want their own protector, willing to place himself between you and any threat? Sign me up.

This book is art three in the series. If you haven't read the first three books, you may be confused as to what is going on like I was. The author did drop bits of information to help the reader, but it wasn't enough to help me. Despite my struggles, I did enjoy the story- so much that the book received four stars. The world building was great, the characters were likable and the chemistry was spot on. I may go back and read the others!

I just loved this latest installment in the Sidyth world! Ellis and Hujun are such great characters, and I was so glad we finally got to know their story. The romance is steamy and incredibly unique like the rest in series. I can’t wait to see whose story comes next!

I still can’t stop wondering what on earth Arizona is up to. She was such a lead character in the novella, and I am dying for her type of witty sass that only comes from years of experience. Who will her mate be?? What happened to Washington? Is it possible Washington is still alive and running with the out crowd introduced in this book? :-)

I hope to read Kansas’s or Phoebe’s story soon as well! It’s time we get some love triangle drama!

Mutt and Jeff

Ellis is almost a " little people " and Hufun is over seven feet tall. He is her protector, but she wants more. Much more! Ellis almost gets raped, but Hufun saves her, once again. But the rapist wants her bad, so he decides to try to take her. It is exciting to read how Hufun stops him for good. This is an adult only romance novel. It is part of a series, but each book can be read as a stand alone book. Each book has a HEA! Great author, great book, great series! Plus, I don't usually read series, but this one is different, yummy!!

Hujun and Ellis

Ellis has been traumatized by her experiences since the moment she became a galactic entertainer. Hujun is by design a protector\ killer and he's been attracted to Ellis since the minute his Prince asked that he protect her. s he's watched over her he's grown to love what he sees. Ellis is also seen to the huge Sidyth warrior. She never felt as safe as she does in his arms. Action adventure and vengeance are the key to This book. This Sidyth male will do whatever it take to make sure his women knows she's worthy wanted and above all else loved. 💖

Promised: Rebels of Sydth # 3 is a sci-fi romance which limelight is about alien guard Hujun and petite human Ellis who's characteristics are visible. These two have a complicated complex relationship. It is intriguing contrast from the other couples relationships. Supporting character's play a instrumental role as well as jazz up the narrative. World building descriptions & settings are well detailed. Chemistry between these two is fiery and all characters shape well together to create a turn paging read.
Looking forward to reading the next novel in this series.

I did indeed enjoy this book!
I was a little confused at the beginning.
Though that confusion was cleared up by the 2nd or 3rd chapter. After that, I was immersed in the amazing world that Sabrina Kade has thought up and the characters were spectacular. I would recommend this book. I know I look forward to reading more of this series.
Happy reading!

The third book in the Rebels of Sidyth series and I hope there are more books to come this has been one series I would recommend. Ellis has a lot to get over to be able to move forward and she wishes the man she comes to respect would take her as his Chosen. Hujun is the alien prince’s warrior and he does not think Ellis would be able to handle the killer that he is and the scars he bears. I enjoyed reading this story as it unfolded.

Trust the Process

Another entertaining romance between an alien and a human; this time the focus is on Ellis and Hujun. This is the third book in the series and the characters are really starting to make themselves known and the planet topography plays more into this one. I couldn’t believe how long it took these two to finally get together but I absolutely loved how devious Hujun thinks. I feel like I’m watching a teenager mature. Loving the series.

Although I gave it three stars, this book was another skimmer for me. I was interested in the world the author created and the couple in this book, but there was a lot of explanation that went around in circles. The story could probably be told with two-thirds the word count, in my opinion. I keep coming back to the books, though, because the author drops enticing bits about other couples that end up in future books. I guess I'll keep skimming my way through the series.

In this next story about life with the Sidyths we learn more about Ellis and her feelings for Hujun. After Yayk’s attack Ellis is feeling rather vulnerable. Prince Korben has asked Hujun to protect Ellis and Ellis starts to fall for him. Not feeling safe Ellis ends up going on an adventure with Hujun to sort out Yayk once and for all. I enjoyed this book the most in the series so far.

Hot and steamy, emotionally active, danger, drama, suspense. She is a call girl who goes to far and is traumatized. She is saved by the prince's guard. He has to start protecting her. They are drawn to each other but he says he won't take it any further. For a lot of reasons. I recommend reading this in order of the others. i was given a review copy by booksprout and voluntarily review it.

They are both broken and scarred but here are on the inside. He has been told to protect her but he can never have her as a mate. He knows nothing about showing love and so he will kill for her. Will that turn her away from him? Can they be what they both need? See how they will get on
