Outstanding read ! It was wonderful how Ms. Monroe included disabilities and a different perspective. There is a grand twist towards the end. I will not give it away, but it is a must read.

Lilian Monroe is great at weaving a tale. Not only does this book have romance, it has a subtle mystery. It is great "watching" the relationship bloom between the main characters and seeing the characters grow within themselves. This is one of the many books of L. Monroe that I have enjoyed. I love that she not only has epilogues ate the end of her books, but there are extended epilogues that can be accessed when you sign up.

This story is about two people who's initial dedication to a dream caused their marriage to fall apart. Gayle is a single minded genius astrobiologist. Her thirst to succeed and fear caused her to walk out on her marriage, 19yrs ago. Axel pursued his dream to become a cyborg and work for G-Force. It was a dream that cost him his marriage. When these two are thrown together again, animosity is the first thing that surfaces, along with hurt. They soon discover that there love never died. Axel was a sweet guy. He wanted to do some good in the world. Gayle was a little snobbish, but could admit when she was wrong. The story was okay. It got repetitive at times. The flow slowed as Gayle got lost in her head. The story got a little preachy with the topic of going green and recycling. If you like stories that take place on other planets. You may enjoy this book. The author did a good job descibing the desert planet and the inconveniences of so much sand. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This was a nice instalove novel. The sparks fly immediately with Jase and Lena. They spar with words upon first meeting, but there is that instant attraction. Lena misjudges Jase base upon her past experience with an MMA fighter, but as she gets to know him, she realizes that he is a really nice guy. Jase is a man that has not had a family. His only family is the guys that work out with him in the gym and the man who trains him. Jase is not sure that he deserves love or a woman like Lena. Lena is an independent woman who is trying to succedd without the help from her filthy rich family. She is constantly assigned clients that have done wrong and need their deeds swept under the rug. Lena wants to represent clients that are important and not because they are rich and act entitled. The love between Jase and Lena grows quickly. They jump a major hurdle to get their HEA. Based on this book, I am interested in reading the next book in the series about Syndney and Gabe. Best friends who should be lovers.
