Summary: whimsical science fiction romance
Review: In Button Creek, Texas, PhD astronomer Daniel Murphy shares looking at the stars with his eight year old son Will. The former Columbia University professor Daniel runs the local grocery/gas station as he hides from his deceased wife's parents who want to raise Will as their own. While on the rooftop with Will studying the heavens together, they notice strange lights in the sky with one splitting away from the others. In spite of his former credentials, Daniel cannot explain to Will what they saw.

Daniel meets Zara, the new waitress at Coombs Luncheonette. Like every other male including his son, Daniel cannot resist her lure. Zara feels the same way but it is also especially nice to his son. However, her desires are irrelevant as she comes from another planet in which the men are ill and assigned earthly breeding has occurred. She has been designated to mate with Robert Lotello, whom she has not been able to locate because her stud Robert Lotello is in hiding under the alias Daniel Murphy.

This is a whimsical science fiction romance that sounds like Starman, but has a heavier emphasis on the star crossed relationships than on the suspense. The lead couple is a delightful pair while his son is too precocious for this world. The Button Creek crowd adds warmth and emphasizes the differences between the two planetary species in a positive uplifting way so that readers enjoy a fine tale that should lead to the telling of the romances of several other Female ET lights too.

Summary: He should have been in jail!
Review: Maybe this is an extreme view, but any person in a position of authority, be it a professor or a doctor, who takes advantage of someone in their care (yes, a grad assistant is in the care of the professor) is a sexual predator. For some professions "Daniel"'s behavior was a felony. Then to compound his bad behavior by having him abduct his child does NOT make a sympathetic hero. "But the evil, rich grandparents did him wrong" is not an excuse. They had a good reason for not wanting him around the child.
In addition to a criminal protagonist (who never paid for his sins against society), the book was a dull read. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND BUY SOMETHING ELSE!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great story, excellent characters and intriguing plot
Review: This book captured me from page one. I always look forward to Ms. McCoy's fanciful novels, but she's outdone herself with this one. A mixture of romance and sci-fi with heavy emphasis on the romance, the story is told with her usual humor and imagination. Zara is an alien, sent to earth on a mission with eight other women. Centuries of gene manipulation have left her world in chaos, with the males on her planet unable to produce viable sperm or have sex. Since earthlings are her species closest match, the women must find their perfect human male, mate with them and return pregnant with a male child.

Zara is sent to a tiny town in northern Texas, where she must find a man who, unknown to her, is in hiding. Besides the great sex scenes, the book has lots of interesting characters, a wonderful hero, and enough twists and turns in the plot to keep the reader enthralled. The ending had me in tears, rooting for the hero and heroine with all my heart.

McCoy handles the improbably storyline so superbly, you'll close this book and believe with certainty aliens and space travel exist. I think this book is the first of three. I can't wait to read the others.

Summary: ABSOLUTELY ADORE THIS BOOK!!!!!
Review: This latest book by Judi is a whimsical, entertaining sci-fi romance that kept me interested from start to finish! I will definitely buy the next book in this series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I loved this book!
Review: Zara is an alien who's come to earth looking for her perfect match. Due to a scientific glitch on her planet, the men can no longer father children. Since earthlings are the closest in the universe to her people's species, coming here is a no brainer.

By the end of this story I was totally convinced aliens existed and they had visited here often. McCoy takes an improbable plot and fills it with twists and turns that have the reader comepletely enthralled. The sex is hot, the characters charming, and the hero so real you can see him clearly in your mind.

I highly recommend this innovative romance to anyone who likes great stories, humor, and a happy ending.
