Warning: The drinking of hot or staining liquids while reading this book is not recommended. ROS made me laugh out loud. A lot. And I mean spit-take worthy eruptions of laughter. I usually don't seek humor in my book selections, but DeTarsio's style as a reviewer on Reader Unboxed gave me the push to give her prose a try. And, wow, am I glad I did. I knew I was in for something special when I clicked my Kindle page button at the end of chapter one. Chapter two is uniquely hilarious. I'll leave i

Dee DeTarsio may write Chick Lit, but her books are never just that. They always include elements you’d expect in other genres and almost never see in Chick Lit, like action-adventure (which features in both of her books I’ve read ) or even a science fiction element, as in the alien this book is named after. These additions are fun and entertaining. They allow DeTarsio to take the story in directions you wouldn’t typically see in Chick Lit.

If laughter is the best medicine, then this book will be your pharmacy! While I was reading it, the people around me were treated to frequent guffaws, shouts of laughter and extended howls of mirth.
The book starts with a bang. Literally! As the story is written from a first person perspective, the reader gets a good look into Micki's thoughts and inner dialogue, which is mostly hilarious but also touching at times. Enter Rhoda, the self centered former mother-in-law, who suffers from More...

I really enjoyed the first two books from Dee DeTarsio - The Scent of Jade and The Kitchen Shrink – so I was excited when she contacted me regarding her latest story – Ros. I was intrigued because this story featured Ros, basically an alien from the future that time-traveled back in time and planets to try to figure out what happened to her brother. Heroine Micki has to try to figure out how to hide this extra-terrestrial from the military, her mother-in-law, and her cat – who is featured prett

When author Dee DeTarsio contacted me to review this book, she described it as a "tough sale". And I would have to say she's right- I wasn't overly excited to read a book about an alien. But I cannot express how pleasantly surprised I was when I started reading.
Micki is sarcastic, awkward, and hilarious. I loved her so much. I actually found myself laughing out loud a few times at the absolutely absurd situations Micki and Ros found themselves in. Throw in Micki's senil More...

I liked this cute story about an alien and the earthling who tries to help her find her way back home. Zany and over the top yet very entertaining.

I know that Ros is a tough sell and you may be thinking she's probably not for you--but I'm hoping you take a chance! I'd love to hear what you think--thanks for reading! Take care, Dee
