Synopsis

How can a sexy marketing manager join forces with an Alpha Centauri male in Armani to save the planet-using hairspray, a Mont Blanc pen, and rock n' roll?

Easy...

She's Touched by an Alien

Marketing manager Katherine "Kitty" Katt steps into the middle of what appears to be a domestic dispute turned ugly. And it only gets uglier when the man turns into a winged monster, straight out of a grade-Z horror movie, and goes on a killing spree. Though Kitty should probably run away, she springs into action to take the monster down.

In the middle of the chaos a handsome hunk named Jeff Martini appears, sent by the "agency" to perform crowd control. He's Kitty's kind of guy, no matter what planet he's from. And from now on, for Kitty, things are going to be sexy, dangerous, wild, and out of this world.

While I title this Awful, Ill start out with what was good. The plot line was amusing and kept me wanting to know what happened next. What kept me waffling between throwing it away in disgust and continuing on, however, was the characters. The heroine Kitty? really? was so immature and conflicted about her femininity and sexually that it was cringeworthy. I can understand mixed feelings. But she would describe sex scenes in which she definitely didnt want to do what was being done to her, but somehow was just so turned on she let the guy basically rape her shed said no, he kept going. This happened with more than one guy. She wanted to be seen as a strong female, but loved being treated like a weak one. In the middle of life threatening situations, all she could think about was sex. And the men were just as bad. Her boyfriend got jealous when her gay friend hugged her. Really? Youre that insecure that a gay man is threatening to you? His possessiveness was something that would send me screaming far far away from him. And neither he, and the other guy in the love triangle, could express themselves to save their lives. This author clearly has some growing up to do, and I wont be reading anything else by her while she does it.
