Excerpt Without a word, he took the book from her hands and put it on the bookcase, his eyes never leaving her face. For a long moment, he gazed at her, and then leant forward, cupped her face in his hands and kissed her. Her instinctive reaction was to push him away, and she brought her hands up to his shoulders, but her mind suddenly stopped working. His mouth was soft, his tongue tenderly explored her lower lip and she couldn’t think. She was aware only of the surge of need, quivering down her spine, igniting every nerve ending, and flooding her with warmth. Helplessly, she parted her lips and his tongue slid inside, still infinitely tender, probing, seeking, and finding hers. Her head swam, her knees started to give way and a small gasp escaped from her throat. His arms tightened around her, pulling her firmly against him. Their tongues met in a sensual entwining which melted every bone in her body. She let her head fall back when his mouth moved across her cheek to her earlobe, alternately nibbling and kissing. His tongue trailed a line down her neck and she writhed at the delicious sensations which heated her skin. She gripped his shoulders and made no resistance when he moved one hand to stroke her shoulder and then her upper arm. As his hand folded around her breast and his thumb and finger caressed the hard nub of her nipple through her thin blouse, a hot flame shot through her. Her body arched against his and she felt the warm dampness between her legs. Desire ran riot through her. She yearned for him, longed to see the look in his eyes as he made love to her, to hear his breathless gasp of her name when he reached the edge, and then to lose herself completely with him in the ecstasy of completion. “I want you,” he whispered, his mouth still nuzzling her neck. Reality returned like a pistol shot. Panic-stricken, she pushed him away. “What the hell are we doing?”

Page Turning Romance
I love a romance with a bumpy ride, and Paula Martin gave me just that with this novel. It was well written and entertaining. The characters were believable and likable. Ms. Martin kept the plot moving forward and then added a little twist to the story, taking the reader along another path.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am happy to recommend.


Very enjoyable
I loved this book. I rarely read straight up romance, but after reading snippets of this book on the author's blog, I thought it really sounded good.
It wasn't mushy-sweet, and had this great tension between the male and female main characters.
The characters were well developed and delightful to read. Their flaws brought them right down to earth.
The pacing was great. I could have read it in one sitting if life didn't get in the way.
Truly enjoyable story. Great job, Paula Martin. Romance: five stars.


Great Read
I can admit that I'm not usually a reader of romance novels but I greatly enjoyed Changing the Future. While I had a pretty good sense of how the story would turn out from the very beginning, it was well written and kept me captivated. The characters were believable through and through and I'm glad they were so realistic. Often times romance novels leave me shaking my head, knowing that people aren't really like the characters as they are portrayed on the page. Paula Martin created likeable, interesting characters who lead life like real people. You wanted their happy ending but she didn't make it easy for them to get there, and in reality it never is as simple as some stories make it out to be. That's what made this novel so good.
