Fred/ Kutlazx Azair is a man who not only knows what he wants, he knows just how to get it, and he's got Jaynie firmly in his crosshairs long before she has a clue.
Jay isn't at all certain what hit her-plane, train, or starship-but it's nice-really nice!
I'm a stay at home mom with three kids, a dog and an active imagination. I spent the first 34 years of my life in Alaska, land of the midnight sun, but these days I'm located in Washington, and am enjoying a much warmer sun :) I'm married to my high school sweetheart, John, who is known to bring me flowers "just because".
My leisure time is filled with gardening, crochet, knitting, sewing, art and reading.
Don't let this book's cringe-worthy, embarrasing cover hold you back - you have an ereader, right? Despite the illustration of "Fred" in all his leather glory, the contents of the book are a lot of fun.
Jay and Fred are a great couple! Jay is a semi-cool female guitarist, who's struggling to make a living and living in a low rent single apartment. I say "semi-cool", because although Jay is not cool enough for her bandmates and gets kicked out for not wanting to party, she's way too cool for her nerdy upstairs neighbor "Fred", with his stringy hair and thrift-store clothing. Fred, however, is really an intergalactic traffic cop, stationed to backwater Earth to watch for illegal aliens, literally, popping out of Jay's refridgerator, Ghostbusters style. I loved Jay and Fred as a couple. This could soo be a movie.
Having said all that, I was a little disappointed with the end of the book. As lovingly crafted as the first half of the book was, the last half felt rushed and too convenient. Still a good read, however, and recommended for futuristic romance readers.
Interstellar Lover Stand-alone [to the best of my knowledge]
OK read, futuristic setting. The start was interesting, it seems the heroine lives in an apartment building where most on the apartments are actually portals to other worlds - sort of the alien version of Grand Central Station. She is one of the token Earth humans on site and her apartment is supposed to be alien-free. She's pretty shook up when the slug slimes its way out of her refrigerator and off to a neighboring apartment. It seems her 'normal' neighbors are actually the gatekeepers for their worlds. Fred - the apparent dweeb upstairs - is actually the 'traffic cop' for the area and gets worried when the weirdness escalates and he eventually whisks the heroine back to his world when bad things start to happen.
Jay is stunned when dweeb Fred turns into a leather wearing hottie. In fact she seems more stunned about that than the world he drags her off to - including a bar scene reminiscent of Star Wars, space ships, and finding out her boyfriend is an ex-assassin. Her 'this is so cool!' attitude got a little wearing.
This one wasn't up to the author's usual high standards - it felt like it might have been written a long time ago.
from Amazon: Nerd gone bad...bad to the bone, that is.
A rocker with more fashion sense than money, Jay thought the geek next door should be kicked to the curb...until she saw him dolled up in black leather. Will the hunk with the silver eyes trust her with his otherworldly identity?
