By: Ruby Dixon

A'ani clone Aithar has had his heart broken a dozen times on Risda III. No one wants the love he is so very eager to give. But then he meets a human woman named Michaela who runs a dairy farm. She wants to rescue her sister, and to do so, she needs Aithar's help.

He's willing to help . . . in exchange for a date.

Michaela warns him that she's just using him. He's fine with being used, as long as it involves kissing. Lots and lots of kissing.

She's determined not to fall in love. He's just happy to be of service. No commitments . . . right? Right.

(I think we all know how this story goes . . . )

Contains mature themes.

Giving Up Control

I didn’t like Michaela at first but she grew on me as the story unfolded. I love the A’anni. They are hilarious! Good book.

Clonely You by Ruby Dixon (book 2 of the Cantina series)

“Clonely You” is book 2 of the Cantina Series by Ruby Dixon. It’s a lovely story about an A'ani clone, Aithar. He is sad because no one wants to be with him romantically. He feels like he will always be alone after his previous failed relationships. He is told by the women it’s because he is too nice. Then while running an errand for Lady Ruth (his boss’s pregnant wife) he is sent to find and purchase her current craving. This leads him to human woman, Michaela. She is unaware he is a clone and thinks he is the same alien who attacked her violently and took her sister. She arranges for him to be under her control so she can torture information from him about her sister’s location. This all leads to a weird relationship between the two of them. However, he is hopelessly in love and she only wants a casual fling. This turns out to be a happily ever after story and I highly recommend it if you love Alien romance stories.

4 stars

Okay, listen up, my fellow alien romance addicts! Clonely You had me flipping pages like I was trying to win an intergalactic speed-reading competition. Aithar is just the sweetest big red alien muffin—seriously, I wanted to snuggle him like a plush toy from the second he stumbled onto the page. And Michaela? She’s all sass and sparkle, the perfect foil to his gentle, earnest ways. Their banter? Chef's—wait, no, we don’t do that anymore—absolutely delicious! 🍬

This was the perfect evening read—short, steamy, and full of that signature Ruby Dixon alien charm. If I’m being honest, I just wish there’d been more! More chapters, more snuggles, more of Aithar figuring out human kissing. I was left feeling like a clone myself—hanging out on a lonely asteroid waiting for another round of swoony cuteness.

Four stars from me—only because I needed more of these two! If you’re looking for a quick alien fix, this one will definitely satisfy your cravings. 🛸❤️

Cute story

Cute and clever story. Love Risdaverse. Narration was overall fair. The male was fine. The female was lackluster. Tons of mispronunciation, disrespectful to the author and to Ruby’s listeners.

It started off great

“Think sexy! Think seductive! Think killer!”
This started off frisky and fun, promising an adventure to rescue Michaela’s sister from slavery.

“Space butter!”
However, there’s no actual movement towards the rescue until the epilogue. Instead, there’s a butter fixation, Michaela overtly using Aithar, and Aithar being the universe’s biggest pushover the whole way through. I suppose it was sweet, but I didn’t feel like Michaela truly loved Aithar as an equal.
