Reviews

[Linda Rorex · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amy Winter works as a temporary Aide to Victor Frank a successful entrepreneur. Amy becomes suspicious after she becomes his aide after an assassination attempt on his life, but she is offered a large sum of money for the job. Victor is the crown prince of an alien planet and is looking for a mate in Amy. Victor takes Amy's DNA and discovers she is half Terran and half Saroplan. This paranormal romance has elements of emotional healing and light suspense. This book ends on a cliffhanger that makes you eager for the next installment. I thoroughly enjoyed this amazing paranormal romance novel. I received this complimentary book and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

Although aliens figure in the story, it reads more as a paranormal romance.
