All I Want For Christmas Is A Reaper
by Liana Brooks


Gini's Take: The second in Brooks' "All I Want" series is as fun as the first one. Don't miss this fast, breezy, enjoyable, romantic read, a great set up for the holiday season!

About the Author: Liana Brooks is an American author who writes science fiction and sci-fi romance for people who like fast ships, big guns, witty one-liners, and happy endings. She enjoys writing science fiction in every form, from sprawling space operas (Fleet of Malik) to the antics of a superhero family (Heroes and Villains), as well as paranormal romances (All I Want).

When she’s not exploring the sprawling realms of fiction she is a busy mother of four, traveler, language learner, and eclectic hobbyist who enjoys everything from woodworking and photography to cooking and embroidery. She lives somewhere between the bookshelves, quilts, and canvases with her wonderful husband, their beautiful pets, and all the children that want to be at home right now.
