Summary
Captain Maxwell Davis and his entire unit scrambled to engage alien ships over Iowa. The aliens snatched him out of his destroyed jet before they continued on their interplanetary hot pursuit. Then they informed Max that Earth was too far outside regular shipping lanes to return him to his planet.
So Max ends up in an alien spaceport looking for work. To afford a ticket home he can either spend 300 years working with linguists to improve the computer's questionable ability to translate English or he can take a job as a nanny for an unpopular alien. That way he can afford the ticket in four years. The problem is that the computer may have mistranslated the word "nanny" and there might be a reason an alien is willing to pay such a high fee.

Epic
Love love love! The narration was great, the story was so unusual and mesmerising. To date I think I’ve listened to this at least 5 times- it’s my go to on long dog walks or when I’m doing chores- perfection

such an interesting and different book
I really enjoyed this book. I didn't write know what to expect as this is my first tentacle book. the relationship that developed between Max and Rick is truly beautiful. John Solo's voices for each character definately lent a depth to the narrative. AWESOME.

Sweet and funny
I was so excited for this to come to audio and it didn't disappoint!! I didn't know much about the story going in so I was able to be caught by some of the fun surprises and really enjoyed it. There was a lot more humor in this book than I was expecting and I found my self laughing out loud several times through out. It also had some really adorable parts. I'm always amazed how Lyn manages to humanize and get us to connect with such unique characters that would usually be so far outside our comfort zone.
John Solo amazes me with how he manages to voice and bring to life the subtle language difficulties the characters have and really captures their personalities in it. He is so perfect for these books its mind blowing!
It was a really sweet and adorable book with lots of humor and some great action mixed in as well.

Good little odd book
A somewhat odd but actually very charming book about a human and aliens domestic situation. It's very well written and the audio performance is great. There is some tentacle "action" but this is in the minority of the book, while tentacles are not my thing it doesn't detract from the story of two oddballs falling in love.

Excellent book and excellent audio
I love Lyn Gala's books and this is high on my list of enjoyable books of aliens and humans interfacing. Max's and Rick's story tells a lot about human's thought and human condition. Enjoyable and funny.

3.5 stars mixed feelings
There were various aspects of this book that were great, but lots of it was just difficult to get into as well. It got better as the book went on. This isn’t a sexy alien book, but rather a real relationship and associated logistics. That will appeal to a lot of people - but there’s only a couple of intimate scenes. I’ve liked this author’s other books so I’ll definitely get more from them in the future.
