Luna of Earth by Laura Jo Phillips
There are lots of great ways for a beautiful, wealthy, brilliant young woman to meet a suitable romantic partner. Through the Internet, Church, volunteer groups, or even singles bars. Or, you can do it the way Luna Meadows did--by rescuing an alien from his crashed intergalactic spaceship on the side of a remote mountain in the Rockies just ahead of a three day blizzard.

Then, there are lots of ways for a newly-met couple to get to know one another: outdoor activities such as hiking and canoeing, couples’ encounter groups, and exploring hobbies of mutual interest have worked well for millions. If none of that works, there’s always the path taken by Luna and the alien whom she rescued, Raj of the Melina Tribe of the Kyun people, fighting off enormous genetically engineered monsters equipped with searing blood, boiling saliva, and even in the case of one, the ability to breathe fire. And that’s all in just the couple’s first day together.

It doesn’t get any easier, either. In order to come together, Raj and Luna must navigate through their physical and cultural differences, their inability to speak each other’s languages, a long period of separation, political intrigue, murder plots, stalking alien predators in a dense jungle under the light of a distant sun, and mysteries about Luna’s background that are so deeply hidden that, in some cases, she didn’t even know a mystery existed.
Fortunately, the couple is well-suited to these adventures. Luna has speed, agility, sensory abilities, and other gifts that set her aside from every woman on Earth—abilities that her widower father taught her from her earliest childhood to hide from the world. Raj is a magnificent specimen of the male of his species—seven feet of solid muscle and dense bone, razor sharp claws, cat-eyes, superhuman strength and speed, and drop-dead effing gorgeous. And, he’s well-equipped for love.

“Luna of Earth” is the 167,000 word first installment of a two volume mega-novel from Laura Jo Phillips. It has the passion, the adventure, the excitement, the consuming emotion, and the burn-the-bed-to-smoking-cinders eroticism that her fans know they are going to find in Laura Jo’s writing, but with the added depth that comes from a focus on a single couple. The second installment of the series, “Luna of Kyun” is already written. It’s currently being edited and prepared for publication, and should be in readers’ hands only a few weeks after publication of “Luna of Earth.” Accordingly, fans won’t have long to wait to bring the story to a conclusion.

“Luna of Earth” is a wonderful treat for fans of Laura Jo who have been with her for years since the “Soul-Linked Saga,” and—because it and its sequel are a stand-alone story—is a great place for new readers to enter the astonishing universes that dwell in the fertile imagination of the incomparable Laura Jo Phillips.
