With a title like ‘How to Lose an
Extraterrestrial in 10 Days’ this book is just asking to be read! The cover also doesn’t hinder any woman to
pass this one up! Although how do you
manage to lose an Extraterrestrial in 10 days? The
best way to find out is to read this
book!
Susan Grant brings cold hearted killer ‘Reef’,
a character from the first ‘Otherworldly Men’ title ‘Your Planet or
Mine,'and
gives him his own story for her third book in the series.
Turning a villain into a hero is something
that the author likes doing and in this book she manages to make him
into
something extraordinary.
In this work of fiction Grant manages to focus
on a real life issue. The slave trade is
not just singled out to Africans but every race on our planet. Here we see how the slave trade effects
the
life of Eriff aka Reef. How it has
changed him and made him what he is today.
Even if that isn’t what he wants to be.
However this book also has its fair share of politics within the
pages
making the reader feel like the author has something to say.
Mother of two Evie Holloway is just wants a
simple life but has to dodge the publicity her family makes for itself
and an
ex-husband all the way. Trying
to get a chocolate business up and
running she also manages to make more trouble for herself and suddenly
needs a
bodyguard. So when her sister asks her
to take in an alien for a while. She is
extremely skeptical about how things will work out.
So skeptical that she gives the guest 10 days
before he is gone.
Reef’s internal computers are off-line and
his former employers want him dead. Without and cyber powers, Reef is
as weak
as an Earthling. He has tried to kill most of the humans he has met so
he quite
worried about being placed inside a nice home with 2 children. Will he be able to go undercover and behave
human enough?
Reef turns out to be incredibly sexy and
ten days living with an alien turns out to be more interesting than
Evie first
thinks. Between the gunfire and
political problems Evie and Reef both end up getting more out of the
arrangement than they thought they would…with some love that is out of
this
world!
The prologue is a little off putting and
long but once things get started and the main story begins the twists
and turns
just don’t stop. This book is a must
read for any Grant fans and anyone who loves Sci-fi with some romance
thrown
in. With its unique alien story line
mixed
with everyday troubles that a lot of women can relate to this is a good
read
for a lie on the beach this summer or by a cozy winter fire..
