For
a chance of pace I wanted to read something which didn’t have a lot of hot
sexual scenes or dialogue to read. I wanted something with a tad of romance and
elements of some genres I haven’t really read yet. I believed I’d found it when I chose “Maggie's Story” by Ava
Louise. The book is actually Book 1 of a stand-alone series entitled “Intergalactic
Matchmaking Services.”
What
is a woman [Maggie Cline] to do after having been left at the altar by the man
she apparently adored, Jon Mercer, and thought he felt the same way about
her? If you can imagine how you would
feel if this happen to you, then you’ll know how she must have felt. In front
of all those close to you, friends and family you’ve now been shamed,
embarrassed and literally stripped of any and all dignity you possess.
To
start anew, she takes a teaching position in Washington; however, this turns
out to be her undoing as she becomes an eye witness to a murder, with her life
being threatened by gang members, and the police apparently uninterested in her
plight. Maggie finds a flyer advertising an opportunity for a relationship with
an alien. After passing the required tests she’s accepted and gets introduced
to Daxon an alien from a planet lacking women.
I’m
not going to go into what happens next, but I loved the adventurous spirit
Maggie to relocate to a planet she never heard. And being a cat lover, I loved
her refusing to go without her precious cat, Mamzell.
The
story is fast spaced which made it a relatively fast read. I’d loved to give this
book 5 STARS, but unfortunately many aspects of this story didn’t developed to
their full potential, which is why I’m only giving 4 STARS.
