Summary: Definitely different!!!
Review: What we have here is a standard contemporary romance novel, and admittedly a fairly well-done one for the genre, with an added twist -- UFOs and alien abductions to move the plot along. The plot twist was reasonably interesting, though it didn't fire my imagination sufficiently to start reading all kinds of UFO books to decide for myself whether such phenomenon exists or not. Beyond the paranormal science fiction element, the novel seems to follow the standard romance novel formula -- man meets woman, sparks fly, they are both attracted to each other but find themselves rubbing against each other like sandpaper. He saves her from herself a couple of times. They almost get together a couple of times, they make love, then a misunderstanding keeps them apart almost to the end . . . you get the picture.

The writing was well done for the most part, but I was perturbed by Blais George's shifting of point of view in mid-scene in a couple of places. That was rather disconcerting. Still, for those who like a basic romance novel and don't mind an unusal plot element, it's a nice read.

(A word on the format. I read a CD version of the book. I liked the large print and general readability of the Abode PDF format. Though it made me realize I will need a more comfortable office chair! :-) This is my first book on CD, and I have several more waiting in the wings. Hard to say if reading books on computer will catch on. It probably is a good way for books like this one to get out there, and may be cheaper than publishing books by print method. Stay tuned.)
