Summary: Excellent!
Review: Usually the only "future" books I read are J.D. Robb's Death series. I took a chance on this just because I was looking for something a little different and I found it! I could not put it down and read it in one day. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series and can't wait for the end book by Susan Grant.

Summary: New Action/romance series/line starts with a bang.
Review: When Bree 'Banzai' Maguire and her wingman Cam 'Scarlet' Tucker are shot down over North Korea, their fight for survival takes a strange turn. A deranged scientist has shot them down strictly to use as guinea pigs in a cryogenics experiment. Something goes wrong and Banzai is not awakened until the year 2176 by a treasure hunting SEAL name Ty Armstrong. But things do not go as planned and Banzai winds up the affectionate prisoner of an arrogant, yet gentle, prince. Some romance fans may grumble that action and world building take a front seat to the romance, then again this is the first of a five book series, so the world needs to be very well developed to hold the stories to come. Undoubtedly most futurist fans will love it, recommended.

Summary: eh.
Review: While I've enjoyed books she's written in the past.. this one.. kinda irritated me.

One mediocre love scene with the hero and the back pages being inelegant spoilers as to what happened to Bonzai's fallen comrade.

I think this had the potential to be one of her better books, but it just feels like it stops somewhere in the middle of the second act of a 3 act play.
