Somewhere, My Love

This was my first Karen Fox book. I almost didn't pick it up from a sale they had at the store but I'm sure glad I did. This book was a great combination of romance/action/and science fiction. To me it felt like I was watching a movie in my head. I liked both the hero and the heroine Sha'Nara and Tristan and I loved the twists on the story near the end of the story. I suspected something was up with Sha'Nara and her "hunches". I also enjoyed the secondary romance of Cadell and Jacy. At the beginning I thought Jacy was going to be the "spoiled brat" bad girl of the story but I was glad it wasn't that way. I'm looking forward to reading other Karen Fox novels hopefully they are just as good.

So the book looked interesting when I read the comments and I decided to pick it up. This being my first Karen Fox novel, I was a bit skeptical. I usually stick to vampire stories and the such, but I was BLOWN AWAY by "Somewhere My Love". There was such a great balance between the main characters Tristan and Sha'Nara. You're never left wondering what one character is thinking while reading from the other's viewpoint. Also, the story doesn't just focus on the main characters. The other characters evolved so well that I cared about what happened to them as much as the main characters themselves. And I think it's because of this that I did NOT see what was coming at the end! It was such a surprise and I was not disappointed!To anyone seeking a rest from romance novels with little plot or two-dimensional characters, I strongly recommend you pick this up. I can see I will be a huge Karen Fox fan for a long time to come and I wish her many, many more successful books in the future!

I thoroughly enjoyed Sha'Nara's and Tristan's story. These two are supposed "enemies" from birth. Sha'Nara's distrust and defiance toward Tristan and his people stem from a lifetime of learned attitudes and behaviors. I found this to be believable and blended in well with the story's plot. I also enjoyed the relationship between Jacy and Cadell. The ending holds a pleasing twist. I do not usually read futuristic romance's although am now looking forward to reading more from this author. I would enjoy reading about Devon's story, also.

Sha'Nara has been having mysterious, seductive dreams. However, she does not want a man in her life, despite the compelling dreams. She has "her career, her goals, and her father's expectations to keep her busy." The day she was kidnapped should have been the longest, most boring day of her life. The assignment was to accompany the Director's General's daughter Jera to her wedding on another planet. By the time the women realized they had been kidnapped, they were far from their original destination. Karen Fox weaves a fascinating tale of complexity and originality in SOMEWHERE MY LOVE. Although billed as a futuristic romance, it is considerably more than the typical genre romance. Fox brings an intriguing science fiction background to the tale, creating a powerful backdrop for the fast paced plot. Further characters are all vividly portrayed, drawing the reader deeply into the story. Very highly recommended.

I read _The Sword of Macleod_ first and remember Tristan, the hero in this one, being vaguely mentioned. I wish I'd known more about him in the first book; he's great! If you like futuristics, this one is wonderful. :) Sweet, hot, and fantastic, I'd recommend this book to anyone who enjoys futuristics. :-)Sarah Pearson
