Summary: Secret Longings
Review: Katherine Deauxville has a very special way of touching the soul of every woman, and her contemporary romance novels always reflect this unique ability. OUT OF THE BLUE is no exception. It addresses the secret fantasy all women share; the desire we all have to find a true soul mate, who will get to know and appreciate us from the inside out - sexually, emotionally and for our person-hood and abilities. The hero in this unusual story, with its science fiction flare, IS this man. He not only understands every aspect of the heroine's womanhood, he readily OWNS their relationship, and is delighted to take the love of his life home to mother - in spite of the fact that 'mother' is on another planet! Loaded with action and excitement, well researched facts (Another Katherine Deauxville trademark) and just plain fun, you will adore taking the book along in your purse, to read at lunch and on your breaks at work, or just curling up and enjoying it on a cozy weekend afternoon. The heroine is strong and sticks to her guns. The hero is well worth her effort. The love is sweet and satisfying. This book is pure enjoyment!

Summary: A fun read
Review: OK I'll admitt I bought this book at the grocery story looking for a toss off read to unwind after an extra bad day at work. I was pleasantly surprized. This book was fun. It's not great Art, but it was great entertainment, which is much more useful. Ms. Deauxville pokes gentle fun at everyone from the lunitic UFO fringe to the Trump clone super rich NYC royalty. Even her hero and heroine are a humorous twist on the spunky overworked/underloved working girl and to-good-to-be-true completely-in-control mystery hunk of so many strait and para-normal romances. If you like your Romance tounge in cheek with a garnish of SF/Fantasy don't pass this book up!

Summary: MIBs move over...WIB is here(Woman in Blue)!!!
Review: Okies, this one is really wacko, so original that you really just cannot fully describe it. The plot kept me laughing the whole time. A really feel good giggle and hootfest from beginning to end. This is sort of Xfile and MIBs meet Sound of Music...... Two thumbs up!!

Summary: Call me a sour-faced grump.
Review: One reviewer said I would like this book unless I was a sour-faced grump. I never knew I was a sour-faced grump until now.
I began reading the book with high expectations, because I love sci-fi romances. The plot was intriguing, and the story got off to a good start. 2 stars for that alone. But as in the one other K. Deauxville book I have read, I quickly lost interest and skimmed through to the end. The plot got too confused, and I didn't care enough by then to stay with it. Sorry, but there it is.

Summary: Most original book in ages!!
Review: This books is the most original and funny book I have read in ages. Think it would make a super movie!! I missed it until recently when I read the good reviews here. Am glad I found it. Simply wonderful. It is amazing you write so many great medieval romances and yet can do such funny ones, too.

Summary: Makes me almost want to get kiddnapped by aliens!
Review: When Maryellen woke up in the morning, it should have been another routine day for the workaholic graphic artist. Instead, Sub-commander Targon made his presence known as a disembodied voice coming from inside her. This turns out to be just the beginning of Maryellen's life changing experiences. Ur Targon is certain that his cohorts placed him into Marellens' body as a practical joke; but he's not laughing. On a top secret, urgent mission to save the US President, Targon needs a body of his own. From cab accidents with police cars to group therapy in pyramids (with Trekies and Star Wars fans) OUT OF THE BLUE has a little bit of everything. Katherine Deauxville hardly gives the reader time to recover from one shocker (that has you groaning in mortification) before she makes you laugh out loud again. I especially liked the results of going hunting for an appropriate body. Gads, that was a hoot! (Am I tempting you to read the book yet?) While I greatly enjoyed this story, I had some issues with several things. Maryellen's sister Felicia drove me nuts! I think she was very sweet at the same time but it was like she never listened to her sister. Rather than noticing typographical errors etc, I noticed a couple of inconsistencies with Maryellen herself (was she a virgin or not? Sorry, but this really confused me!). I also thought Maryellen and Felicia were a little pretentious. As I've never read a book by Ms Deauxville before, I don't know if it is just the characters, or her writing style. Despite how this paragraph might sound, I did like Maryellen. She was resourceful, even if she was out of her league dealing with Targon. I do like the way Ms Deauxville alternates between the primary characters, the secondary characters Wolf Madder from the FFI, and then the therapy group. It gave the story a feeling of knowing what is going on for all three parties at the same time without overloading the reader. I thought this was really well done. While Targon is certainly overbearing and a pain in Maryellen's life, he is a hoot! He has the capability of taking a semi solid form only for short periods of time. During this time he glows kind of like a thousand watt light-bulb, which is a problem in it's own. He has a "guide book" of Earth culture that adds to the humor; "invents" a great drink in champagne and orange juice - which has funny results. And lastly, I think the body he ends up finding actually matched his personality in a way! As this is a romance, the characters are intimate, but the scenes are insinuated rather than graphically written out. (Which I can respect.) All in all, OUT OF THE BLUE is outrageously funny and if you have the chance to read the story, it's a great contemporary romance that I would recommend.

Summary: You know it's good when.....
Review: You know it is good when an "official" publication reviewer says it is no good.
Obviously someone who knows nothing of what the average book reader likes, because otherwise they would of known this book would be a hit.
A fabulous read that is hard to put down!!
A must for any reader of good fiction that combines, SF, romance,a little bit of mystery and a whole lot of fun! I definately reccomend!!!
