Synopsis (Goodreads):

One night with the delectable human female wasn’t enough for this alien prince…

Baila spent one night with the sexy alien — over six feet of purple hotness — and now she’s paying the price. The cost? One great big (purple) alien bun in her very human oven. With no alien partner in sight, she’s determined to take care of herself — and her baby — on her own. Except, it’s hard to hold down a job as a sexy waitress with a huge stomach the color of grape Kool-Aid. Jobless and twenty-four hours from being evicted, she runs into the one person she never thought she’d see again…

Zyriq Rukzahl — Captain of Warking’s Blade, Morean male, greatest lover of all time, baby daddy, and… kidnapper.

Thoughts on The Purple Alien Prince's Pregnant Captive: I don't really know what to think abut this book. It's short, so you don't really get to delve into the characters (and Baila's pregnancy hormones have her turning on an emotional dime just to keep you even more on your toes) or the alien culture. Probably the most well-developed character trait was Zyriq's utter exasperation with his cousin (I think the guy was his cousin. I know they were related somehow).

So. A one night stand ends with Baila with a bun in her oven and Zyriq off doing whatever alien prince's do. Just so we're clear he isn't some deadbeat alien prince, he isn't aware she's preggers and he's VERY MUCH looking forward to seeing her again once he gets station side.

As for Baila, she's dealing with an alien pregnancy, is about to lose her job and (by extension) her housing. She's a ball of emotions and mess and she lets Zyriq know this when they meet again.

Cue a little kidnapping, a not-so-thrilled with the circumstances of Baila's pregnancy doctor, and a sprinkling of danger. Because why not, amirite? Fun, if you don't mind wild pregnancy mood swings and such.
