Review: Merry & Seduced (House Of The Cat #2.5) by Shelley Munro

[Eva Millien]

What the book has to say:

All roads lead home at Christmas...

Cyborg Amme Vanak is wired to care for children and since her current charge is grown, she's feeling edgy. She's hoping a Christmas visit to Earth with her friends will offer distraction and maybe even a fling with a sexy Earthman before she flies on to Viros for a new adventure.

Wealthy entrepreneur Marcus Polo is single with a rockin' social life until an unexpected Christmas gift throws his existence into chaos. A chance meeting with exotic Amme deepens his turmoil. She might be the solution to his problem, but she's different from his exes, and she pushes every one of his sexual buttons.

Amme is torn. Marcus Polo is handsome and kind and so, so attractive. Even better, it seems the fascination is mutual. Amme is having a ball on Earth, but as departure day creeps closer, she becomes increasingly conflicted about leaving. Then there's the whole alien thing. Somehow, she doesn't think Earth and Marcus are ready to accept aliens are fact and not science fiction.

Warning: Contains a bunch of aliens intent on relaxing and enjoying a New Zealand Christmas, some canoodling under the mistletoe and addictions to chocolate.

What I have to say:

Amme is having a ball while visiting Earth but as departure day gets closer she has some tough decisions to make - the biggest one being to tell or not to tell Marcus that aliens are fact and not science fiction in this charmingly fun sci-fi romance.

As a cyborg Amme is wired to care for children so helping the handsome Marcus out with his daughter is easy but soon she thinks her system is malfunctioning and the reader can't help but be fascinated by Amme and Marcus as they both struggle with unfamiliar emotions and burning desires. The attraction between Amme and Marcus is red hot but the relationship will take some interesting steps to accomplish, especially as Amme's time for departure grows closer. These strong captivating characters capture the heart and demand the reader's attention from the very beginning and the fast paced and smooth flowing plot keeps expectations high with lots of suspense, excitement, fun and romance.

Lots of anticipation and excitement throughout the story as Camryn, Ry and the Indy crew visit Earth and take it by storm with lots of laughter but there is also danger as someone wants Marcus for herself and isn't going to let anyone get in her way. There's also lots of emotional turmoil with Camryn's family and of course what you would expect when introducing aliens which adds lots of depth. The story comes to life with well written scenes and details that forge vivid images and the well orchestrated events ensure that there is no way to put the book down until every last word has been read.

Once again, Shelley Munro has brought joy to my life with this spectacular series full of intriguing characters and I can't wait to join the Indy crew on another adventure and I have to say GO Olivia, that's what I would have done!

Shelley lives in New Zealand with her husband.

Typical New Zealanders, Shelley and her husband left home for their big OE soon after they married (translation of New Zealand speak – big overseas experience). A year long adventure lengthened to six years of roaming the world. Enduring memories include being almost sat on by a mountain gorilla in Rwanda, lazing on white sandy beaches in India, whale watching in Alaska, searching for leprechauns in Ireland, and dealing with ghosts in an English pub.

While travel is still a big attraction, these days Shelley is most likely found in front of her computer following another love – that of writing stories of romance and adventure. Other interests include watching rugby and rugby league (strictly for research purposes), and curling up with a good book.
