A true thrill-junkie, she has jumped out of an airplane, raced around the Indy 500 track, driven solo throughout the United States and believes a great roller coaster ride can cure whatever ails her.

All of my "old" paperback books are still available in unopened condition on my personal website (autographed if desired) but I am in the process of getting them all into e-book format. www.marilyncampbell.com
This has been published under the name Topaz Dreams... Which is confusing... This story is more complicated than the first one but again I struggled to like the heroine. She was borderline annoying, where the hero was written with depth and empathy. The ending was a little rushed..
Well…it was better than the first one, rating more of a 3.5.
Ok, so we have this advanced race of humans who have microcomputers imbedded in rings. The H in the previous book "lost" his ring when he was kidnapped by some earthling entrepreneur with a poor concept of right and wrong. Now… said cretin has kidnapped a scientist to figure out the ring. Scientist's tinkerings have, among other things, closed the tunnel door as a transport was leaving, killing 1000 people.
Why… if these people are so blasted advanced, could they not neutralize the ring? Sheesh. Send it malware which trashed it. Something. Further, why would any of the rings be able to control the tunnel doors in the first place? That's stupid.
On to the earthling heroine… why is it that authors manage to make their PIs so blasted dumb? The chick drew so much attention to herself, it's a miracle she's survived as long as she has. And she's supposed to be a good one? Really? Frankly, I'm not convinced she could even work a cheating spouse case, let alone such an involved one as this.
The H…was in fact the best thing about the book. He's hot, part cat-person, and has apparently just reached maturity. Even he could have used a bit more…judgement about the case though.
i absolutly loved this book. Its got adventure romance and aliens who could ask for anything more. This book although its part of series can be read as a standalone and does have a HEA. I can't wait for more from this author
I received a copy of this book from eBook Discovery. Here is my honest review. I really enjoyed this book! It is very interesting and a great new take on "aliens"! Enjoy!
