DETAILS

Synopsis

Every night after working on her father’s ranch, Ashton retires to under her covers to live out her fantasies through her romance novels. She longs for Prince Charming to sweep her off her feet. She’s not as brash as her sister Faith, who has men wrapped around her fingers. Instead, Ashton was always “the good daughter” who played it safe and kept to herself. But after going to a party at the lake with her sister, Ashton’s life will change forever. The hopeless romantic will now have to choose between her high school crush and an amazingly bodied Prince Charming who’s traveled from light years away.

Quote(s)

1.    Ashton apologizes despite feeling an emotional dagger stab her. She was realizing the dream of Bobby Darren was looking much better than the self-centered reality.

2.    “I guess you didn’t score every time on the field. Bye Bobby. You were amazing… in my dreams.”

3.    A mechanical whirring builds up and then explodes. The ship darts away leaving a trail of lights to catch up with it.

Thoughts

(2)

He does nothing to hurt you. That’s rude!

(3)

Seriously?! You’re leaving just like that?! My goodness! How rude of you! How inconsiderate of you!

 

Reading Experience

I’m kind of disappointed I must say. This could be an interesting story. Alien, for goodness sake, appears only twice! TWICE! On the other hand, Bobby had appeared, I don’t know, multiple times and I thought maybe he was the one until I read the book title again that it was about an alien. Geez! Seriously!?

Didn’t Orion hear her when she calls for him? She did those countless times! Only when she ran into the field, tore herself naked that you realised she was pregnant!? This is so ridiculous! Urgh!

Lastly, leaving your family without goodbye? Seriously!? *Eyes rolling* If your sister did not catch the light, your family will be worried sick! Geez!

 

Question(s)

1.    What is the electric shock?
