Falcon, a gifted half-breed tracker, is in San Francisco to retrieve a ring stolen from Innerworld, located in Earth's core. Too many Terrans are dying at the hands of the billionaire thief experimenting with the ring to gain access to Innerworld. What should have been a simple assignment is quickly complicated by repeated encounters with Stephanie Barbanell, a Terran investigator hired by the wife of a scientist kidnapped by the billionaire. Stephanie has always worked alone, and Falcon is not worthy of trust. But joining forces with the mysterious man seems the only solution to rescuing her client's husband... until the forced proximity ignites overpowering and unwelcome desires. Stephanie's experience has taught her that sex equals loss of independence. A sexual virgin, Falcon believes submission to his human half will strip him of his superior abilities. But success of the mission will require both... regardless of the loss. Previously Topaz Dreams

All of my "old" paperback books are still available in unopened condition on my personal website (autographed if desired) but I am in the process of getting them all into e-book format. www.marilyncampbell.com
This has been published under the name Topaz Dreams... Which is confusing... This story is more complicated than the first one but again I struggled to like the heroine. She was borderline annoying, where the hero was written with depth and empathy. The ending was a little rushed..
Well…it was better than the first one, rating more of a 3.5.
Ok, so we have this advanced race of humans who have microcomputers imbedded in rings. The H in the previous book "lost" his ring when he was kidnapped by some earthling entrepreneur with a poor concept of right and wrong. Now… said cretin has kidnapped a scientist to figure out the ring. Scientist's tinkerings have, among other things, closed the tunnel door as a transport was leaving, killing 1000 people.
Why… if these people are so blasted advanced, could they not neutralize the ring? Sheesh. Send it malware which trashed it. Something. Further, why would any of the rings be able to control the tunnel doors in the first place? That's stupid.
On to the earthling heroine… why is it that authors manage to make their PIs so blasted dumb? The chick drew so much attention to herself, it's a miracle she's survived as long as she has. And she's supposed to be a good one? Really? Frankly, I'm not convinced she could even work a cheating spouse case, let alone such an involved one as this.
The H…was in fact the best thing about the book. He's hot, part cat-person, and has apparently just reached maturity. Even he could have used a bit more…judgement about the case though.
i absolutly loved this book. Its got adventure romance and aliens who could ask for anything more. This book although its part of series can be read as a standalone and does have a HEA. I can't wait for more from this author
I received a copy of this book from eBook Discovery. Here is my honest review. I really enjoyed this book! It is very interesting and a great new take on "aliens"! Enjoy!
