At last, we learn more about Tomlin, who isn’t exactly as he appears to be. I get a real kick out of seeing him struggle with his feelings for Etta. It’s a good thing she’s a scientist: she’s able to prove he’s not a danger to her. Plus, the proving is an adventure in itself. I love her! She’s not one to put up with any nonsense. I’m intrigued by the gemstones Etta is studying and their possible uses, and by a couple of new characters introduced. Will we be seeing more of them? Do read! It’s a delightful love story; I know you’ll love their journey and its completion....more

I am really enjoying this series. The aliens are each unique: different in appearance and abilities, but share traits in common. Shadow, however, is the only one of his brotherhood whose existence is in peril. Mandy is quite an interesting character. She has skills unusual for many humans that, I believe, make her a more compatible with our alien castaways. I love that she’s older, not in freshly out of her teens. It is thrilling to see these two take risks, living in the moment. The rewards are awesome! I heartily recommend Shadow, and the rest of the series to those who love science fiction romance!

Phaedra Kari is an information specialist. She loves to dig deep and uncover what others want hidden. Her mission is to locate a safe haven for the Cyborgs she’s helped rescue. Tyran Varosa, Vardarian Prince, and his blood-bound protector, Braxon Torr, are also looking for a new planet for their people. One without all the political machinations of their homeworld. When the Vardarians land on the Drift, they quickly identify Phaedra as their mate. Life is not simple, however. It is hilarious watching these 3 figure out the best way to approach each other without making a commitment for which Phaedra is not yet ready. It’s not all fun and games, though. The negotiations between the Vardarians and the corporations become deadly as competitors are annihilated. But who? Why? Can our trio ever reach their goals? Fantastic reading; don’t miss it!

I love the idea of a chameleon: able to change into another being if you’ve seen it before, or just to blend in with your surroundings. This is just one of the fascinating crew in the first book of the “Alien Castaways� series. I love this story! Cam is a hero who doesn’t consider himself to be one. Kevanne is a woman on her own, getting her life back in order. She’s strong, resilient, and has come a long way in a short time, after having her confidence whittled away for years. I can’t wait for you to read their story: the history, current events, the newfound love...it’s awesome!

WeI highly recommend this book - Lacey Silks delivers! The story of 2 neighbors, born on the same day, living side-by-side, and their deep friendship. We catch glimpses of them as children showing the love they have for each other and how it changes from a child's love to something more profound. Lacey Silks has woven these two people and their love into my heart. The emotional trauma they experience as life moves inexorably onward is intense! The description of small town life and the way everyone works together is spot on. The inner strength of all the main characters is admirable. I highly recommend this book to others who believe in true love (or want to)! Lacey Silks delivers! I received an author's copy in exchange for an honest review.

What a thrill to be back in this world again! The prospect of Siona’s and Zerien’s story has intrigued me since finding out they were soulmates. I’m thrilled to see the competent warrior woman Siona has become in the interim. There are some wrinkles to iron out in their relationship, but they have some wise advisers to help them out. I think Zerien is brilliant as he works to identify the rebels and their leader. The Sarenian rebels are a serious threat - and who is Dread? I love seeing Zerien and Siona prove their strength against threats, and the strength of their love for each other. Splendid storytelling that leaves me hungering for more in this world! Please? ...more

Such an volatile story - a delightful romance, robotics that are not what they appear to be, villains of epic proportions, slaves eager for freedom, twins reunited, and a flamboyant male who’s not as self-involved as he appears. It is such a treat to see Arelion transform from angry enemy to devoted lover. Maeve is awesome! She’s taken on a scary mission by herself and doesn’t lose hope, though she’s not always able to get herself out of trouble alone. Oh, the situations they get into while they make their way through a maze of rooms. So much excitement, romance, and some over the top humor! Read and enjoy! ...more

The story has loads of adventure as one half-breed attempts to rescue his half sister, who is one of two rulers of the Eloim.

I love the author's sense of humor and the way the heroine creates loyalty by showing a personal interest in (and naming) beings that most others take for granted. The potential for more intriguing books in the series is very appealing.

I get a little frustrated with her, but I can understand her feelings. I love how Emmalyn gives Havoc a hand, and does her best to get her sister to reconsider. This is an amazing story, full of frustration, angst, spice, and deep, abiding love, hammered into shape by Havoc and Analise. As always, the extended family in this world make the story all the better. Enjoy!...more

I must say, Braxx is certainly persistent. He’s been working to get Holly on a date for over a year. It’s time for a change in strategy. Braxx is such a sweetie! He’s helping out with young children, being a Big Brother to a needy boy. Best of all, he treats women with respect, but has eyes for only one. Holly is at a disadvantage; she doesn’t have the ‘instant� mate recognition. I do like her, even though she has some pretty deep insecurities. I love watching the two of them dancing around each other when Braxx changes his approach. Fun to see! And with a bit of help from some friends, a super-fine conclusion!
