Alien Castaways Complete Edition

Chameleon Alien experiments, Alien refugees seeking sanctuary, a possible spy, miscellaneous small town adventures, and a sweet hero with the naivety of being new to Earth and a human female who needs an injection of love into her lonely life. What a great new series! Chameleon went against his own people to do the right thing. He still feels insurmountable guilt that he wasn't able to do enough. Some of his "shipmates" don't trust him and think he's still a spy for the Xeno Consortium. On the hunt for a way to make some money and attempt to buy and/or replicate parts Chameleon meets Kevanne. He later realises that she is the person looking for a handyman and decides to go and get the job, frightening the life out of her in the process! But Kevanne has secrets of her own that she feels tremendous guilt over. She soon realises that Cam may be a "man" but he's not all that handy, though he does attempt everything with a sense of hopefulness. Great little story. I loved finding out Cam's backstory and what Kevanne has been trough. You know they belong together from the start but it still a nicely woven story with engaging and empathetic characters. It's great that Cam isn't universally loved, so he has to work hard to gain ground with the 'Topians. Wingman The 'Topian refugees are back and still acclimatising to Earth. Wynn AKA Wingman is still a bit out of whack with his new Earthling neighbours. But when he sees a little girl almost abducted in front of him, he swoops in and saves her and finds himself invited to her birthday party! But when he arrives and meets Izzie's mother...well feathers fly! Delia thought "Angel" was just a new imaginary friend her daughter had created. She did not expect a very full-grown, beautiful, sexy male! She understandably freaks out and Wynn runs off. When Izzie finally explains how she met her "Angel" Delia is mortified that she ran off her daughter's saviour. But fate steps in and gives her another chance to thank Wynn. What evolves is a weirdly quickly evolving but slow burn romance. I know that doesn't make sense but it feels like our leads take the time to get to know each other, even though it actually takes over a short period of time. Delia and Wynn are just so cute together. She, the lonely young widow with secrets of her own, Wynn, the psychologically scarred refugee with nightmares and PTSD. Izzie is just a little tornado of mischief. Her pony pleadings are so cute! A great mix of peril, romance, family building with a dash of sleazy ice cream man, and other possible dangers for our leads to face. Psy Cassie is growing ever more frustrated with her overbearing mother! She understood the guardianship order when she was younger, but she is 23 now! She thought that getting her job at the antique shop would have loosened the reins enough to be able to broach the subject but just as she gets one foot out the door, her mother always seems to be able to yank her back with some drama or other! Psy is enchanted with Cassie. She may not be able to speak but her thoughts are clear and untainted by malice like some humans. As they grow closer he wonders if their medical bay would be able to repair whatever may be wrong with Cassie's vocal cords. But he doesn't want her to think that he only wants her if she can talk! Finding out Psy can "talk" with her is such a relief, no more having to scribble things down. But will their fragile, new romance be able to withstand mother dearest? Psy finally gets his genmate! I so love this little story, it's nice to have heroes and heroines who aren't "perfect". Disabilities do not need to be hidden away and whispered about. I appreciate the way the author handled Cassie's differences and whilst we find out that it's not a "true" disability, it's still seen that Cassie just communicates differently and it never makes her "less" than any of the other characters. I LOVED hating on mummy dearest though, what an odious beatch of a woman! Shadow An older heroine/possibly younger male pairing - what a great read! Mandy is 45 and has a talent f
