Can they stop what’s coming before it’s too late? Or will the universe lose a perfect gem?
Brooke Sanders just wants to get away from her life for a while. A remote cabin in Montana fits the bill. She doesn’t expect to encounter a mysterious stranger with unusual blue eyes, or events that cannot be explained…
Colin Fielding is on a mission – scout a planet and return home to Endhivar. Such a simple plan. Except fate has a twisted sense of humor. This human calls to him, every part of him, like the call of a true mate, and he can’t deny the connection as he gets closer to her.
Little do they know, someone is out to do them harm, as well as the world Brooke holds so dear. Can they stop what’s coming before it’s too late? Or will the universe lose a perfect gem?
Excerpt
She froze. A string of curses left her as she beat the infernal device against her thigh. The battery rolled around in the chamber, but nothing else happened. Complete blackness surrounded her. She strained to see the light that had been there moments before, but to no avail. Nothing was there. She couldn’t go farther without seeing ahead. She didn’t want to stumble or injure herself if she headed back to the cabin, and she certainly didn’t want to die on the ground in the forest in the middle of winter.
She shivered and pulled her coat tighter, but it did little to protect her from the icy cold. Just ahead, the green light reappeared, a beckoning glow. She pushed forward, trekking through the calf-deep snow in her awkward boots and short skirt.
“Hello?”
As she neared the green ray of light, she saw a figure looming before her. It was shrouded in black. Startled, she screamed, tripping over her own feet. She landed face first in the snow. Coughing, she struggled and then eased back on her heels. Brooke tried to push herself up. She felt an arm around her, lifting her, assisting her. When she regained her footing, she whispered, “Thank you.”
But, there was no answer. She swung to see who it was, but no one was there. She turned back and saw the figure stand several feet away once more.
“I’m sorry to have startled you.”
Brooke laughed nervously and brushed at her leggings, now soaked at the knees. “I didn’t expect to see anyone else out here. No one believed me. But, I know what I saw. I came to see about the light.” Aware she was babbling and probably sounded like a loon, she clamped her mouth shut, crossing her arms over her chest.
“What…light?”
She frowned and pointed at the green beam ahead, beyond the trees.
“You saw nothing.”
Her eyes narrowed as she became aware of a strange sensation across her forehead. “What do you mean? It’s right there! Just look.”
He stepped closer to her, enough so she could see his upper body and face. He was tall, his physique muscular, shoulders wide like a football player. His hair was cropped short at his skull and dark brown. His eyes were so dark, practically black as he stared down at her. And there was a bluish tint to his skin. Her gaze widened as it traveled down.
He was naked. Holy crap, he was really naked. Her breath caught at that discovery and her heart began to race wildly.
“You saw nothing,” he repeated, lifting her chin with one finger as he looked into her eyes.
She shivered, and then blinked. His eyes were electric blue now. Jesus, maybe she was losing her mind. People’s eyes didn’t shift color like that.
Professional Reviews
Enjoyed this!
4 stars - "I liked it! Clearly not my "usual" type of reading. I'm not usually a science fiction type, but this was really good! Romance, two worlds colliding, twists and turns......well written. Very enjoyable, indeed! I look forward to reading more!"
We Are Not Alone
5 stars - "An Alien in Love
Perhaps in a world in which Star trek and Star Wars motion pictures set records at the box office, the prospect of an alien falling in love with a human is not as shocking as it would have been a couple of generations ago. In Blue Vision, though, Marie Lavender has given a different image of love between a human and an alien.
Aliens, of course, are different from humans. He has a different anatomy. He has the ability to enter another’s mind and to cause them to dream dreams. He has the ability to transport from place to place. Nevertheless, in Blue Vision we find a love story of two creatures that are in love, a story that is remarkably believable.
Easy to read. More than that, it is easy to be caught up in the story and to want to read it from beginning to end in a single sitting. The author has demonstrated her ability to write romantic scenes and she uses her abilities well in this book. Romantic descriptions are detailed, but not offensive.
If you like paranormal romance, even if you simply like romance, you will enjoy Blue Vision."
When worlds collide
4 stars - "Brook is from earth, and Colin is from Endhivar and the connection is beyond chemistry. The story is well written and is very intense. The story takes the reader on a journey to another world, and there is a great deal of suspense, as there is someone lurking in the dark. The fate of two worlds are at stake, and this story keeps the reader on the edge of the seat, waiting to turn to the next page.
