➥ 5 Stars *:･ﾟ✧
This book served. i didn't really have high expectations going into this book considering that i felt that Ice Planet Barbarians was quite average.
But this...holy moly.
This is such a sweet, quick and enthralling read. and the setup is just delightful. I'm always impressed with the way that Ruby Dixon manages to fit these romances into a quite entertaining and enjoyable plot-line.
In this case, Tassar is on a new planet, an immigrant fleeing the planet where he was held captive as a prisoner of war. Leilani is a farmer but worries about living unprotected and vulnerable, as she knows other alien species nearby that want to take over her and her land. and the solution to both these instances is obviously an arranged marriage: Leilani gets protection and Tassar gets to benefit from being less likely to be taken/deported.
There are so many things i loved about this book.
➥ It made me genuinely laugh ◦○ °
When someone potentially dangerous knocks on Leilani's door, Tassar's choice of weapon is, well, you tell me...
He's so protective and caring of Leilani please, it's the way I'm going absolutely feral for this man. He's so iconic, pulling a whole Tangled move on us thinking we wouldn't notice.
Even Leilani was so funny at times, and Tassar's shock makes it even better. My bb thought they were attempting an escape from the prison but no, miss girl had it all sorted out.
And in another instance, someone accuses their relationship of being fake so Tassar attempts to prove them wrong by...kissing Leilani...something he'd heard humans liked to do. And the best part is that he fails miserably.
Pls, i love him sm. he's trying.
Which leads me onto my next point
➥ I was fucking swooning ◦○ °
After that mess, Tassar makes Leilani show him what a kiss is to her...
and she does AAA!!!
Tassar is just such a gentleman I can't take it!
This book had the nightmare trope and it was oh-so-yummy
ever so polite <3
➥ The male perspective was so fucking adorable stop ◦○ °
If my partner doesn't think like that about me, I don't want em!!
➥ Me? Loving an mmc's possessiveness and protectiveness? No way! (Yes way!!) ◦○ °
I mean... <333333333
➥ Um and it was hot ofc ◦○ °
He was just so caring and soft and gentle, I love gentle giants sfm.
😦😦😦 blushing, grinning, squealing, kicking...
AAAAA!!
Hot and respectful!!! What more could you ask for?
I have nothing else to say for myself. I loved this. my only complaint would be that we only got one (1) full sex scene without interruption and even that one was a bit rushed. I would've liked a little more steam (preferably the continuation of the scene that got interrupted...)
“Say yes,” he encourages when I’m quiet. “Let me taste you.”

When someone potentially dangerous knocks on Leilani's door, Tassar's choice of weapon is, well, you tell me...
I spot a heavy pan and grab it off of a nearby counter, ready to use it as a weapon. If those Ssithri don’t know what’s good for them…
He's so protective and caring of Leilani please, it's the way I'm going absolutely feral for this man. He's so iconic, pulling a whole Tangled move on us thinking we wouldn't notice.
Even Leilani was so funny at times, and Tassar's shock makes it even better. My bb thought they were attempting an escape from the prison but no, miss girl had it all sorted out.
All right, then. I let go of her hand and race forward to open the aircruiser’s door and help her inside, then get in on my side. The moment the doors are shut, I turn to her. “What’s the plan?”
Leilani immediately starts up the air-cruiser and eases it into the sky. “Well, we’re going to find a somewhat private field as close nearby as we can, and then you and I are going to fuck like bunnies.”
And in another instance, someone accuses their relationship of being fake so Tassar attempts to prove them wrong by...kissing Leilani...something he'd heard humans liked to do. And the best part is that he fails miserably.
“She is my mate,” Tassar says again. “So get off our land.”
They give us a few heated glares and turn away, and I can practically see the gears turning in the taller one’s head. He’s not giving up. I think Tassar sees it, too, because he grabs me and plants another “kiss” on my face, his tongue swiping all over the lower half of my chin.
I touch my mouth. “What was that?”
“What was what?”
“Your tongue moved over my face like a windshield wiper not two moments ago!”
“Oh, that?” Tassar gives me an arrogant look. “That was a kiss. I am told that humans enjoy such things.”
Pls, i love him sm. he's trying.

After that mess, Tassar makes Leilani show him what a kiss is to her...
“I’ve been kissed before, and trust me, that’s not how you do it.”
His expression changes and intensifies. He studies me for a long moment and then puts a finger under my chin, tipping it up. “Show me how it works, then.”
and she does AAA!!!
Tassar is just such a gentleman I can't take it!
This book had the nightmare trope and it was oh-so-yummy
“Wake up, little one,” a deep, liquid voice tells me. “Wake up. You’re having a bad dream.”
I jerk awake, my heart pounding, and stare up at the man looming over my bed. Even though he has dark blue skin and horns, there’s something comforting about the sight of him that chases away any of the shadows lingering in my mind. I rub a hand over my eyes. “Wh-what are you doing here, Tassar?”
“I heard you talking,” he murmurs, and the bed shifts, sinking down on one side as he climbs in next to me. “I figured you were asleep, though. Then you started arguing and crying out, and I thought I’d come wake you up. I hope I didn’t intrude.”
ever so polite <3
➥ The male perspective was so fucking adorable stop ◦○ °
It’s been less than a day since we were separated, but it feels like a thousand years. I scan her appearance, looking for bruises or signs that she’s been abused by someone while I’ve been stuck here. She’s wearing a loose, pale yellow tunic dress that sways around her delicate brown ankles, and she has a flower tucked behind one ear, her silky black hair flowing over her shoulders.
It makes my heart ache to see how beautiful she is. I am the luckiest male alive, I realize in this moment. It doesn’t matter if I’m being shipped out. I’ll find a way back to her. She’s my home now.
If my partner doesn't think like that about me, I don't want em!!
➥ Me? Loving an mmc's possessiveness and protectiveness? No way! (Yes way!!) ◦○ °
She reaches up and smacks my arm in a surprising motion. “That’s not what I meant. Have you ever slept with a human?”
I laugh, pleased at the way she bats at me. “You are the only human.”
“You mean first.”
I level my gaze at her. “I mean only.” Does she not realize that I’m not doing this for a quick afternoon’s enjoyment? I do this because she’s mine. All mine. “Just as I will be your only mesakkah.”
I mean... <333333333
➥ Um and it was hot ofc ◦○ °
“Are you angry?” Leilani asks, interrupting my thoughts.
“No, why?”
“You’re frowning.”
Am I? It’s only because I think of the idiots that came to our door earlier and tried to push their claim on my female. If I see them again, they will be dead. “I am frowning because you wear far too many clothes,” I tell her. It’s not a lie. I want her naked and lush and, most of all, underneath me. “Can I take them off of you?”
He was just so caring and soft and gentle, I love gentle giants sfm.
I shudder as he drops to his knees by my bed. “Tassar…”
“I like it when you say my name, shy Leilani,” he murmurs, and my skin pebbles with goosebumps. His hand cups my jaw, and I can feel the calluses on his palm, at odds with the soft peach-fuzz of his blue skin. “And I am here to tell you not to be shy about this. You let me kiss your soft mouth, did you not? Now let me kiss your soft cunt.”
😦😦😦 blushing, grinning, squealing, kicking...
“Are you ready yet?” he asks.
“Ready?” I’ve been kissed so thoroughly I have no idea what he’s talking about.
“For mating. For joining me in my bed.” He leans in and nips at my lower lip in a sexy little bite that sends a shudder through me.
AAAAA!!
“If you’re not ready, can I make you ready?” His thumb strokes over the back of my neck.
Hot and respectful!!! What more could you ask for?

Leilani is a human girl who was kidnapped from Earth and was sold as a slave. When she was rescued by Lord va’Rin, she realised that she can never go back to Earth. Now that she knew about all these alien civilisations, it was forbidden for her to go back home. Thankfully she was given a farm at a far away planet by Lord va’Rin. Unfortunately her neighbours wanted her farm. The solution was simple. She had to find a scary big alien, mate him and the he would push the disgusting neighbours away.
Tassar is another Mesakkah who falls under the spell of human women. In the beginning, he only wants a fresh start after he escaped prison. But when he meets Leinani, he will be a blue horny male in love. And he is willing to wait to make Leinani his.
This is another wonderful bite size story by Ruby Dixon. It is connected to Prison Planet Barbarian story and Pretty Human story. Thus, expect cameo appearances by the main characters of these two books.
If I could use a phrase to describe this story, I would call it “sci-fi romance western”.

Never read this series, but heard good things about it!
Short and sweet and entertaining. I did find some parts very similar to what I have read before in IPB, but it still was a cute novella with very little drama.
I wish the story wrapped itself up more, like with the neighbors of Leilani's. Everything moved at quick speed to deliver a HEA. Not that I'm disappointed. Except for the lack of 👅 head despite the numerous talks and thoughts about it from Tassar lmao.
Love that we got some Hawai'i culture representation!

I picked this up after reading a very hard-hitting book, and it was the perfect thing! When She's Ready is the first in another erotic alien romance series, but in this one a human woman needs a marriage of convenience to protect her farm from aliens trying to take it from her. But of course, she and her new husband end up very attracted to each other. It's a novella that can be easily read in one sitting, and it's a nice blend of steamy, silly, and surprisingly heartfelt with an interesting world. I will definitely be picking up more of these!

If I hadn’t gotten blue cl!t from the lack of tasting on Tassar’s part, it would’ve been a higher rating… because the 🔥 is so good and had me wanting more, but I’m not a fan of all talk and no bite😑. In this case, Tassar was hungry for a taste and we never saw him tasting 😒
🤡😅
Tassar was a prisoner of war and just came out of jail. He gets approached by a friend who’s mated with a human and he tells him that Leilani needs to get married so that she can be more protected since there are people/beings trying to take land from females (or they k!ll them). Female humans were forcibly brought to this planet and Lord va’Rin gave them land.
Leilani doesn’t know what to expect when she meets her soon-to-be husband. When she meets him, she can’t believe how handsome, muscular, and tall he is 😅. She realizes he might be disappointed with the fact that she’s not a small woman.
Good thing he loves every thick, round, voluptuous inch on her 😮💨. More cushion for the pushin 😉.
What I liked: POSSIBLE SPOILERS
- the tension🔥. Holy f. If these two’s gazes could make babies, then they would’ve had a team of them popping out of Leilani 😮💨. I love me some good tension, and we had it here (although brief, but enough for me to know they want each other 😅).
—The learning to kiss scene. JEEEZUS CHRIST 🥵. That Tassar was making me melt into a puddle of goo 💦. There’s something about Ruby Dixon’s writing that makes me 🔥 from a learning-to-kiss scene more so than lots of full on smeex scenes out there 😬
—the d👀. the spur and ridges on Tassar’s d makes me envy Leilani and all the women in this world 😑. Nah, just kidding. I’m happy for you Leilani 😒 really happy for you 😐. See how happy I am? 😌. I’m not jealous… at all 😶.
Sigh. Anywayssssss… back to my review lol…
—how protective and JP he is. He sees. He claims 🤷🏻♀️. I love that energy in my Hs. He’s wary of other males. Good. Be wary 💁🏻♀️
—the funny moments. Omg I smiled and giggled so many times. Even when the scenes were 🔥 ones, his fascination was warming 😅
—the epilogue was so cute 😅🤣❤️
What I wanted more of:
— 👅… 😑… 😐
—that it was longer. I think the other books in the series are longer.
—more 🔥. We get one full scene.
Overall, I loved it

"En el momento en que te miré, supe que eras todo para mí. No necesito esperar para saber que te amo."
When she's ready de Ruby Dixon serie Mail-Order brides/Risdaverse libro 3
Mí humilde opinión:
Leilani fue raptada del planeta tierra hace tres años y vendida a un dueño alien que la maltrató.
Ahora es una de las humanas rescatadas que fueron dejadas en el planeta agrícola Risda III.
Le dieron un lugar donde vivir y tierras propias pero sus vecinos están esperando el momento para apropiarse de lo que es suyo.
Ya una de las humanas terminó muerta y le robaron sus tierras, Leilani no quiere terminar así. Así que la solución es encontrar un hombre que la proteja.
Necesita un esposo.
Tassar es un ex convicto y no quiere volver al planeta prisión.
La idea de tener una frágil humana como esposa no le emociona mucho pero si lo hace obtendrá la amnistía.
De todas formas no
habrá un verdadero apareamiento. Es por conveniencia, se dice así mismo. Ella tendrá a alguien para proteger proteger su granja y él estará seguro de que no lo envíen de vuelta al planeta prisión.
Ambos ganan con la unión.
Pero cuando ve por primera vez a Leilani no se parece una débil humana. Ella es hermosa y toda curvas.
Entonces sabe que ese no será un matrimonio por conveniencia y cuando ella este lista la hará suya en todos los sentidos.
Me encantan totalmente las historias cortas de Ruby Dixon y sus sexys aliens azules. No me canso de ellos y siempre son interesantes de leer.
When she's ready es un romance Sci-Fi, fácil de leer, con un ritmo rápido, y a pesar de que es corto sus personajes de inmediato gustan y tienen una química explosiva, conexión, que puedes sentir.
Tassar fue protector, sexy y tierno, me encantó cómo comenzó a conquistarla con paciencia y cariño. Amo cómo son estos aliens azules cuando encuentran a sus parejas.
Leilani fue adorable, una mujer con curvas con su lado sensual y timida a la vez. El tic de hablar con todo en voz alta y las costumbres que traía de Hawaii como el color en sus tunicas, la flor en el cabello y las comidas típicas. Me encantó su personalidad.
Esta historia corta tiene 5 partes y un epílogo, escritas desde el punto de vista tanto de Tassar como Leilani.
Fue una lectura genial pero demasiado corta, de todas maneras la disfruté.
Como siempre digo cuando hay un Messahkah en la mezcla, desearía más, la autora siempre me deja con ganas de leer más.
Pensamiento aparte...
La escena en que Leilani decide que está lista y justo cuando las cosas se ponen interesantes les cortan el rollo?!
Me pareció un horror, mala RD! Lo sentí abrupto, anticlimátio, después ir leyendo cómo las cosas se desarrollaban deliciosamente lento entre ellos y justo cuando venía la mejor parte se llevan al prota esposado?!
En fin...
Este libro se puede leer independiente pero para entender mejor la aparición de otros personajes y cómo sucedieron otras cosas, tener un panorama completo sugiero leer las otras dos humeantes y dulces historias:
Prision Planet Barbarian, la historia de Jutari y Chloe, y Pretty Human la historia de Lord Varrik va’Rin y Milly.

Al ser una lectura tan corta resulta un poco dificil conectar completamente con lo que narra y con los personajes, pese a eso, When She' s Ready fue el tipo de libro que imagine : simple, directo y breve, lo empece y termine en una hora escasa, lo que lo hace la novela ideal para ese momento en el que no dispongas de tiempo ilimitado o tengas ganas de un relato rapido.
En conclusion, When She' s Ready es light y olvidable pero te mantendra distraida el poco rato que tardes en pasar sus hojas.

So I finally got around to reading the first book in the Risdaverse and it was ok. It was very similar to some of the others I’ve read but I found the story much less developed. It’s almost identical to the book ‘When She Marries’ except the consent is better in this one. Overall this was a quick, easy read but doesn’t stand out in any way in the series. All these books are like little snacks where you get mostly the same thing every time. Once in a while one will give you a bit more story, but this one did not.

Short, sweet, and smutty!
I've really come to love Ruby Dixon's little novellas as they are short but packed with plenty of steam and just enough of a story to keep things moving along with the knowledge that everything will be alright in the end. Leilani was a shy but adventurous heroine who finds her mate in Tasser, a cocky *ahem* confident and protective alien convict. Their story was one of hesitancy, trust, and comfort. Worth the read!

When She’s Ready is a novella part of Ruby Dixon’s Risdaverse series, sci-fi/alien romances set on a farming planet. This one is a marriage of convenience and so fun!
Tassar is an ex-con who is forced to marry a human woman if he wants amnesty on the farming planet of Risda III. He isn’t sure about it into he sets his eyes on Leilani, his new bride to be. Leilani has been living on the farming planet for six months and doing her best to protect her land and farm. She wants the marriage of convenience just for protection for her farm, while he’s ready to have a real marriage.
Super quick and cute novella! The Risdaverse series is always a good time, while not a favorite in the series for me it was still fun! Audiobook on hoopla!

This was a quick and sweet novella that I enjoyed very much. Can't wait to continue this series.
Leilani was abducted from earth a few years ago and is now living on the planet Risda III. It's a farm planet where women can live in freedom and have a farm. But there are dangers to this life and the women are now in danger when some alien men want their farm and they will do anything in their power to get their way. To make sure that she is protected Leilani is prepared to marry a stranger. I loved Leilana as a heroine, she was both shy and sweet but also brave.
Tassar is a mesakkah and he is on the run. He's an ex-convict who's looking for somewhere he can live in peace. He doesn't mind marrying Leilani for her protection and when he meets her he finds he really doesn't mind being married to this sweet human.
Tassar and Leilani share an instant connection when they meet. Leilani makes sure That Tassar knows that she won't be sharing a bed until she's ready. Having had bad experiences in the past this is very important to her. Tassar will now have to prove to her that her body is safe with him, that she can trust him and that he will protect her from harm. I loved how he Went about to gain her trust. He was both protective and possessive and the way he seduced Leilana was both sexy and sweet.
This was so well written and it was a very sweet romance between Tassar and Leilani. It had low angst and low drama and I really liked the growth of the characters and it also set up the side characters nicely too.

Quick(ish) Review
It’s cute and set in the Planet Blue Balls ‘verse. Just not much of a story or romance. It’s basically an intro that zooms straight to HEA. But it’s got that instalove down pat and if you like the ‘verse and have like an hour or so to kill, maybe you’ll dig it more than I did.

Loved it! I'm just waiting for Ruby to finally write something set on Homeworld 😜. I love the Mesakkah 👽. I'm even down for some more prison planet stories. This also made me realize how much I miss the Corsairs spinoff.

Good
For such a short book it was very good. I want to know more. I am happy there are other books. I will say that a man that can listen to a woman talk nonstop to him, to herself hell she talks to everything and he thinks that’s cute well he’s nuts or awesome maybe both.

I REALLY enjoyed When She's Married but disliked the next book and gave up on the series. I decided to try it again when I saw this on KU… I didn’t like it as much, but it was still an entertaining read. (I’ve been listening to a lot of audiobooks lately and Ruby Dixon currently has 68 audiobooks free to listen if you have Scribd-FYI if you like her stuff.)
The Risdaverse series concept sort of reminds me of Grace Goodwin’s The Colony series except here the rescued humans are given small farms to live out the rest of their lives because they can’t return home. In this book, Leilani is friends with Chloe (the h from Prison Planet Barbarian), who sets her up with Tassar. If they marry, he will receive amnesty from the prison planet and she’ll have protection from the bad aliens trying to harm her.
Bottom Line- This is short, sweet with smut and free to read with KU. It’s an easy read with nothing deep going on.
**Random-but if someone knows how/which book these modern blue aliens with technology tie into the barbarian blue aliens with cooties… please let me know- I’m curious.

һȏʟʏ һȏяṅєԀ һȏṭṅєṡṡ!
Rizdar3 might be a quiet outer-rim farm planet owned by Lord va’Rin but Tassar and Leilani set that shit on fire!
And it has to be said, Cary Hite’s ‘Tassar’ was freakin’ killer, aurally keffing the hell outta my ear holes with every single deep and growly word...
Hhh-Hmmm, sorry, where was I?? Oh, right...review.
I love that with each (interconnected) title I read, Ruby’s amazingly developed and cleverly created universe sucks me deeper and deeper into the black (or should I say blue? 😜) hole.
Sci-Fi Fantasy Erotic Romance Scrumptiousness.
Note: if you think I’ve forgotten about Vordgar walking outta that cafe, mateless...you’d be wrong. Ruby, where he at? Huh? Huh? Huh? I’ll wait here...

He was ready, she was ready, I was ready- happy for everyone!
Ruby Dixon does not disappoint when it comes to the big blue guys.
Great short story after slog of filler while I wait for my fav authors to release new books,
Scarlett Dawn I am talking to you.
