SYNOPSIS: The princess of a faraway planet is determined to make an Earthling her mate, in this exciting and engaging intergalactic romance.
PARANORMAL ROMANCE |4+| Marguerite Lemons
REVIEW: Verena Tovick-Ra, along with the sisters of Vixen, have
come to Earth on a mission to find suitable mates after all the males on
their planet died from a mysterious plague. Jordan Mitchell, Jr., an
agent for the FBI’s secret Project Discover, hears his fellow agent
declare him lost in space when the spacecraft he is checking out
suddenly takes-off without warning. Jordan awakens to find him, and
fifty other men, traveling through the universe with a ship full of
beautiful women, who just happen to believe that men are inferior and
only good for one thing. He constantly butts heads with Verena, who
decides to take him as her mate when he is rejected by the others
because he is white. Jordan and Verena are attracted to one another, but
Jordan refuses to accept her as his mate and they enter into a battle of
wills. When Verena’s life is at stake, will Jordan come to her rescue?
And when the ship is attacked will Jordan and the other men ban together
and help the Sister’s of Vixen overcome their would be captor’s?
MISSION poses the question of whether or not there is intelligent life
on other planets in the universe. The story begins in New Orleans, on
the banks of the Bayou Savage, after hurricane Katrina; but you are not
made aware of this fact until after the ship has taken off. It shows
that relationships are complicated, no matter the species, and will only
work if both are willing to compromise. Changing the “status quo” is
another theme featured.
When I began to read this story I thought this was going to be too
far-fetched and boring, but as the story progressed I found the plot to
be well thought out, the interaction between the characters
entertaining, and the imagery remarkable.
If you love science fiction and romance, but have never thought of
putting the two together, Ms. Starr has written the perfect book to get
you hooked.
