Review # 1 was written on 2013-11-17 00:00:00 Patrick Sheely I've been raiding my carefully hoarded stash of vintage futuristics in hopes of another Sky Pirate. No such luck. :/ The premise is interesting - aliens far more advanced than us have a colony inside our planet. The beginning looked promising too - heroine and others on charter boat sucked down when aliens were sending something along to their home world(s). Then it fell apart. I'm not fond of utopias. I…find them creepy, mostly because they always seem to subvert free will to some extent. At least people were allowed to have less than perfect genetics BUT… in the past, that wasn't always so. So our h and her fellow victims are given a speech, manuals, etc., and told they're stuck here. They're also considered second class citizens though that part is left out (they're earthlings after all). Heroine is not happy about it. Heroine is the only one not happy about it. Everyone else thinks she's nuts. She draws attention to herself by looking at files that are, while not classified, at least not something that just anyone looks at. H gets all hot and bothered. They enter what amounts to a mating heat, but she's earthling so forbidden. Earthlings have not come up with way to blow away planetoid (shades of Armageddon here), so he and she go to surface to talk to scientists. Bad guy (there has to be a bad guy you know) finds out he's not earthling so has him snatched, he's rescued, they go to his home planet, and are Joined. The end. So…the whole utopian thing - people who rebel get reprogrammed - bothered me more than a little. The h didn't like what was going on, so one was left wondering if, had she not been his soul mate, that might have been in her future. Too many threads in the first half. I wondered briefly if I was reading a soap opera. Really - I didn't need to read his assistant and occasional lover getting busy with another castaway - with details, anymore than I needed to read about the first bad guy or his informant. Which leads to another gripe - the H/h had enough difficulties with the whole inferior earthling angle without having to drag bad guys in the form of a sociopathic drug dealer and an overly ambitious earthling into the mix. And it was way too convenient that she had a drop of alien blood so therefore his people had no objection to their Joining.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-05-30 00:00:00 Manuel P�rez Palomo This is my first book to read by Marilyn Campbell. I have to say that I am finding that the Sci-Fi alien romance novels, and the authors have very good imaginations. Romulus was an AWESOME read. The story line rocked and the characters worked with the story line. I definitely will be keeping up with Marilyn Campbell’s works. Hope that in the future I will be able to review more of her works. A definite must read that you will enjoy. Aster Mackenzie was on a ship that was hijacked and they were taken to a part of the Bermuda Triangle, where she is then zapped into a whole new world she never knew existed. Now she is trapped in the Earth’s core where advanced beings are mining a rare energy source for their home planet of Norona. Only to make things worse, she has captured the attention of Romulus Locke by starting the mating fever inside of him. Problem is that he is the Chief Administrator for the Innerworld and they aren’t allowed to mate with humans. Romulus is the Chief Administrator of the Innerworld and he wants to the Governor. Once the fever takes hold he is bonded to Aster and it will make them soul mates. This is something he has no to time to explore because they aren’t allowed to have relations with Terran’s as they call the humans. Romulus knows that there is an asteroid headed toward Earth and if it hits not only could his people be wiped out, so would the entire population of Earth. He risks being captured leaving the Innerworld to warn the people of Earth. Aster has to now convince the Norona government of a long time held secret in order to save Romulus. Will she be able to convince them? Will Romulus and Aster be able to complete their bonding? Lots of mysteries and intrigue. A must read. I received a copy of this book from eBook Discovery in exchange for my honest review.
