What if you had lived your whole life thinking you were normal? No, worse than normal – plain? What would happen if one of the most highly-trained and vicious assassins in the galaxy attacked you one warm summer's night? What would happen if you were thrust into an adventure with the galaxy's greatest heroic heart-throb? What would happen if a mysterious and ancient race appeared with one desire – to kill you? What would you do?
Jane grew up knowing one thing: she's nothing but normal. But then one little run-in with an assassin robot threatens to destroy everything she thought she knew about herself. Soon she finds herself with none other than Lucas Stone, the galaxy's number one pin up and hero. And together the two of them have to find out exactly who Jane is and what's after her before the galaxy is plunged into war.

It’s the 2nd installment of the series and I enjoyed reading it very much. It has action, a little bit of romance and sci fi . It tells us who Jane is and it introduces the “guards” and how cray cray her life is about to turn.
The story it self was interesting enough but it was soooo repetitive, it went on an on about how "plain Jane" is. I actually skipped (glanced over) just to get to the actual story. Not sure if i will continue with the series as there are quite a few
Book 1 introduced the main characters of plain Jane and dashing and handsome Galactic Enforcement Officer Lucas Stone. Story follows these 2 characters until they finally meet and change the course of their futures. In book 1 Jane finds out that she is the last of the Paran race and the only one with the ability to control the most powerful and technologically advanced 'Guards' created in the history of the Galaxy.
After a surprise ending...Book 2 continues with Jane's quest to find out more about her race as well as herself. And while her and Lucas work together to gain this information, it is also up them to save the entire Galaxy from an evil and highly evolved race called the Darq. The Darq are assisted by a secret organisation called the Krill.
It's nice to see the characters all growing and I just knew there would a nice little surprise at the end like the last book.
I can't wait until the 3rd instalment is released sometime in December according to the author. It's also nice to see that the author's writing is becoming more solid and easier to read. While still littered with spelling and grammatical errors, the story is intriguing and the errors can be by-passed easily.
