Discovery

Summary: very enjoyable
Review: A wonderful mix of science-fiction and romance, and just the right touch of humor. This was a very enjoyable read. Terran Moffat's skill with both dialogue and description pulled me into the story; it was very hard to put this book down. I definitely want more!! For now I just have to settle for a 7-Layer Burrito from Taco Bell ...

Summary: A fun read for SFF and romance readers alike!
Review: Discovery is a sff-romance that's a blast of fun and magic from start to finish! Kent Xavier, Oregon naturalist, is on a camping trip nursing his broken heart after breaking up with his cheating fiancee. In the middle of the night he is awakened by the sound of falling rocks and ends up rescuing a non-English speaking female hiker who has injured her leg. When the sun comes up, he discovers just how foreign she is: she's an alien! And then the "men in black" (so to speak) come after them.

The story moves along from start to finish with believable characters, human and alien. I haven't had such a romp with a romance OR an sff novel in a long time. I stayed up past my bedtime to read this one, and I'll read it again. Added bonus, there are lovely illustrations. If you're looking for something fresh, funny, and romantic, you can't go wrong with this one.

Summary: I want more
Review: I loved the mix of sci-fi and romance. I wish there were more in the genre. Terran Moffat is just a delightful writer and I look forward to more in the future. This book makes you laugh and chuckle with their antics. I think this would be a wonderful little show on the Sci-fi channel, actually. It would be amusing to see what they could do to make it come to life on the screen like it does in your mind.

Moffat's way of writing is so delightful and entertaining that the story unfolds across the mental screen. If only the book were a little longer to develope the characters a bit more. But for a short book, it was an unmitigated delight to read.

I'm certain you will enjoy it.

Summary: Very cute...
Review: I've found this book to be a cute story, worthy of a rainy day reading. Even though this is a creampuff of a sci fi romance, it lacked some depth and I couldn't relate to the characters in some ways. I wish they might've had more challenging conflicts that would reveal their depth. It's not too fatal, though! It's about a human and an alien fallin' in love on a chance discovery, and it's funny seeing how they progress from learning each other's languages. This totally reminds me of me (the deaf one) and my hearing Norwegian husband (he learned ASL for me, and I learned Norwegian for him).

Summary: Nice short read
Review: This book was a nice read - a good combination of science fiction and romance - with no overkill on either portion. The setting of the woods and mountains was nice, since I live in Colorado; enjoy the wilderness; and can relate to injuries, cold, and hazardous conditions.

When I read these books, I do not try to rationalize the likelihood of the science fiction side, nor the initial setting the characters fall into. With that said, it was fun to accept a blue supporting character with a bit of electrical charge. The banter between them as well as the struggle for two people who first deny, then do not let society dictate their love was realistic and engrossing.

If you have a day with little demands, and just want to "get away", this is an excellent read.

Summary: Fun, sweet and smart
Review: This story is more than a romance between two genders - there is as much attention to nature, to real love and to knowledge. The characters share a bond based in more than chemistry, which makes it that much more real. The science behind the story is intriguing, making it a jewel in the genre. Well written and a fun read!
