About the author
Alaina Stanford
58 books488 followers As the mother of seven children I learned to love to play video games pretty fast. One day it occurred to me to write an adventure that flowed like a video game. I added a touch of romance and Hypnotic Journey was born.
The HJ characters are like a family to me. They are foolish, daring, resourceful and full of passion not only for life but for the friendships they have created in this world and the next.
I've been a Trekkie all my life so my next series was Science Fiction. The Treborel Series is a romantic paranormal adventure featuring a psychotic villain and a multiple layer of hero's fighting to survive the chaos of a continental conflict.
Archangel is a pre-apocalyptic series about angels fighting against the rising evil in a desperate attempt to keep humanity alive long enough to reach the end of days.
Royal Duty is a new type of series. Each book is a different genre- Science Fiction, Historical Romance, Fantasy, etc. They all share a main theme of a royal heir struggling against their obligations to the throne.
In the end I write about how friendship and love can sometimes be the only thing that can keep you alive. You will find my stories exciting and steamy, but I am not an erotic writer. My character's still fall in love and have sex, its just not that obvious.

Very good book! The summary is a great description, so I am not sure what else to add to that. I received a copy on first reads. Storyline is engaging, characters are warm and funny and the world is well described without being tedious. Nice plot twists and I will share the book with my friends. The cover is beautiful too.

The way this book is organized is just really really weird. There are several different point of views in this book but you never know when or which one youre reading. The blurb made me really excited about this book because i was expecting lots of heartbreak and angsty feelings. What did I get? A completely useless exposition and a romantic attraction that is too rushed. So, eh.

Overall this was a pretty good book. Not quite what I expected from the cover. It was a cute story and I will probably continue the series. I did feel that at a few points the action and other parts of the story wrapped up rather quickly. But in the end it was a decent read.

Excellent story but the cover does not match the story. This is not an erotic story but an amazing adventure story. I just loved every page of this...
