Friday Reads – The Marann

It’s been a bit since I’ve rolled out a Friday read, but this one is so tres awesome, I had to post about it.

First, ze blurbage recap. Please note, it probably doesn’t sound insanely like the actual blurb since I didn’t write that one. I wrote this one. The author will probably have heart palpitations if she ever rolls into my neck of the woods…

So, there’s this Spanish teacher (Marianne, not like Carol Anne. No ghosts).  She’s happily teaching in butt-fruck-Egypt. Rockin’ her Spanish students and living a fairly boring, but safe, life. Woo hoo for her.  But THEN, the brains with the planet-wide government decide super-language-knowing Marianne needs to get shoved into space to teach some super-alien-ruler-guy’s kidlet for the next twenty six years.  The gov peeps are asshats and off she goes.  But she’s got man issues and now they’re forcing her to be all nicey-nice with the leader of this massive planet.  Kill. Her. Now.

Now, the alien ruler hottie, the Sural, is, well…a hottie. And super secretive, but he has reason to be. He’s also super deadly, but he’s diggin’ on Marianne, so it’s all good.  And, dude, they’ve got YEARS to get to know each other, so he totally has time to break down her man-hatin’ walls and lay down his suave moves.

You can snag The Marran by Christie Meierz here.

Now, my review.  Um, it rocked.  I love me some scifi space romances and this one hit the spot.  There’s plot, intrigue and secrets that are revealed in delicate layers.  All of it is wrapped up in awesomesauce writing.  The author has announced a tentative released date of January for book two and I’m SO totally there. Like, first in live with my credit card and reading the book in one night, there.

Anyway. Buy it. Love it. Come back and say “OMG you were right!”.  Because, well, I am.  Not that I’m conceited or anything.

Have a mwah! day!
