Miranda Sayers's only friend is her wheelchair. It has been her refuge and her escape mechanism for most of her twenty-six years. But the time has come when her grandmother can no longer help take care of her. Now Randi is faced with having to survive on her own, and unfortunately that future doesn't look promising. Collin First's job on Earth is to find the Ducts between his world and this one. As an Extinguisher, he has to eliminate those passageways before any of the dangerous creatures from Sandeflay can pass through and harm any humans. The last thing he expected when he took the assignment was to find the beautiful, crippled woman living one floor below his apartment. Before either of them can contend with the impossibility of their relationship, Randi and Collin are thrown together, seeking each other's love and help. And when circumstances force Randi to follow Collin to Sandeflay, the greatest miracle of all awaits them both.

I've become a fan of Linda Mooney's science fiction romance books, and Sandeflay ranks up there with her best. For some reason it hasn't been reviewed much. Collin and Randi fall in love a little too quickly, but I've come to count on the deep, abiding, forever-type of love that Mooney sets up for her romantic leads. She also never fails to create a heroine that maintains her feminine soul but can dramatically and effectively kick around the alien beasts when necessary. Focus in this book is largely on the romance, but the world building is creative. Predictable plotting, with a twist with a handi-capable heroine, but once on the duct path, you have to find out how the H/h manage their happily ever after.
Audiobook Review - Yes I'm a super fan of Linda Mooney but that's because she writes such unique stories with memorable characters and Sandeflay is no exception.I mean come on, who doesn't love a wheelchair bound kick ass heroine and a lonely sexy neighbor hero? seriously?!? I won't ruin the the book but let's just say it starts off with the mysterious neighbor hero falling in love from afar with our heroine (despite her disability, might I add) and that's before we even find out about all the sci-fi deliciousness. Our hero is part of an elite pest control/zoo keeper/military squad that controls the creepy crawlies from his world that are somehow making their way to earth. His focus is to keep a low profile, not take up with Earthlings and to keep us safe from the nasties - but then there's this girl and he just can't stop thinking about her..... If you want a beautiful love story with super unique characters that grow and change and evolve into a perfect team with a sci-fi twist, give this romance a try. You wont regret it!
Miranda Sayers’ wheelchair is taking her to certain pain and injury when the ramp on the handicapped van malfunctions. Collin First, who shares an apartment in the same building, comes to the rescue. To Miranda’s surprise he seems attracted to her. Their fledgling friendship is just starting when Randi comes face to face with Bud, an eight hundred pound animal like she’s never seen before. Imagine a huge puppy with fangs!
From this almost gentle beginning Linda Mooney powers up a story that I couldn’t put down. Turns out Collin is an Extinguisher from a parallel world. His job is to prevent any of the voracious animals that could literally eat up a city from coming through the Ducts that open up between the worlds. As she spins the story and the love develops between the two, or three, counting Bud, it just gets better and better.
Ms. Mooney doesn’t shy away from the issue of a relationship between a paraplegic and a handsome stud. Instead she lets the story grow with it.
I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Sandeflay. It parallels our world but some things are so much more advanced just as some things seem primitive in an exotic kind of way. I’m thrilled that I couldn’t predict how this author would work things out. Just when I thought I’d guessed the path she would take she’d veer off on a side path that was much better than the simple storyline I’d envisioned.
This story is rich in characters, love, eroticism and beautiful fantasy. Linda Mooney has done an excellent job of penning a story that will be fun for anyone who likes to get lost in a great book.
