What a Blast! Another Jammin' Review for Luminous Nights!

My Sci-Fi Romantic Adventure Luminous Nights is racking up fantastic reviews!

Here's the newest review from Fire Pages Reviews! 

     Luminous Nights is a wickedly amazing intergalactic romance...The drama begins when Rachel unknowingly picks up Jack, a prisoner, after a prison riot on her Caprice ship. Jack is on a mission - expose the evil betrayer in the Draco Alliance. With Jack's strong will and intense focus on completing his mission, it seems that Rachel has no choice but to go along for the ride. Michele created a phenomenal world, fantastic characters, an intriguing plot, and a highly anticipated romance that will never let you see chocolate the same way again.

     I highly recommend that you pick up a copy of Luminous Nights. It's a delightful read worth every page. And the plots twists are guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat. 

The Top 5 Things Fire Pages Loved about Luminous Nights: 

(1) Jack's Crazy Attitude! Call me looney but I loved Jack's murderous spirit. He is so intent on exposing the truth that he will kill anyone that gets in his way. That definitely added to the suspense of the plot and drove the story forward. 

(2) Jet is Awesome! My favorite character hands down has to be Jet, Rachel's genetically enhanced dog. He is Rachel's Chief of Security and doesn't think anything of Jack. I am a huge sucker for dogs and reading about Jet made me smile every time. 

(3) Jack's Digital Mask. What would you do if you had a digital mask that could change your identity? Oh, the possibilities. Well Jack has one of these super cool masks and definitely knows how to use it. Rachel suspects that there is something not right when she first meets Jack, but it isn't very long before the mask will come off between them. 

(4) Rachel the Heroine. Rachel's character and personality is so relatable. While it is obvious that Jack is the aggressor between the two, Rachel does stand up for those who are weaker and I found that very admirable. Rachel has some fantastic heroic moments in Luminous Nights, and I really enjoyed reading about her. 

(5) Luminous Nights is a Balanced Novel! My absolute favorite thing about Luminous Nights is that the story is balanced. There are equal parts of action, adventure, drama, intrigue, dialogue, and romance. This made the plot flow seamlessly. I found this book incredibly easy to read.

Happily Ever After Reviews
Reviewed by Ren

A digital mask that can change your identity? Check.
A genetically engineered dog as your first mate? Check.
High intrigue and intergalactic adventure? Double check.

Rachel Waters is the captain of the Caprice, a small freight ship that unwittingly picks up the nefarious Jack Luminous, the legendary I-Marshal, during an illegal transfer on the prison orbit of Null. She is convinced that her new passenger is not who he claims to be. Jet is her dog, a genetically enhanced hound that speaks to her with the twitch of his ears (love it!). He is the Chief of Security and not all impressed with their new passenger.

Jack Luminous has more facets than a polished diamond. After being in prison for five long years, Jack is hell-bent on exposing the betrayer within the Draco Alliance. A high body count means nothing to him and he has no qualms about using Rachel to achieve his murderous goals.

I pride myself on being somewhat a fast reader but sometimes you tend to miss the details when you do that. When I first started to read this, however, I had to set it aside to start again because you can’t skim through it. It deserves better than that.

Michele Hart has crafted a world rich in detail similar to the movie Blade Runner (if you haven’t seen it, please do) Ms. Hart’s attention to detail, character development and dialogue is exceptional. You are immediately transported to another time and place, living and breathing each moment with the main characters. The bad guys are there in force, the twists and turns of the plot making it fast paced and again, the world-building is fantastic. The romantic element is just enough without taking over the whole story.

I want one of those Gemini tick things.
Honestly, I’m a sucker for gadgets and anything that makes me wish we had them in this day and age gets a thumbs up with me.

Read it.
It’s that good.

You Tread on My Dreams - Yeats

But I, being poor, have only my dreams. I've spread them below your feet. Tread softly because you tread on my dreams. - Yeats

That quote is in my favorite movie, Equilibrium. If you haven't seen Equilibrium, rent it when you get the chance. It's all about emotion, and the power it has to destroy us. But if we suppressed emotion, we would have little reason to exist. Very deep movie, and a lot of super ass-kickin' from Christian Bale and Taye Diggs! Not to be missed. Why it didn't garner huge acclaim is beyond me.

Nice Review from Novel Reaction!

Oh! I just got the nicest news! My steamy Sci-Fi Romance thriller, Mind-Blown, just got a nice review from Novel Reaction!
Here’s some of what they said:

Mind-Blown is a Sci-Fi thriller that kept me guessing until the very end. The idea of a corporation influencing the minds of its employees and preying upon their need for an income was upsetting and believable... Jon and Holly’s relationship progressed at a believable rate and I enjoyed the give and take between the characters. I also really liked the scene where Jon convinces Holly to dress provocatively to distract the security guards while he broke into the company…

Here’s the full review:
http://novelreaction.com/2010/08/mind-blown-by-michele-hart-review/

Here’s a little more of Mind-Blown:

Jon Paige discovers his employer is developing illicit mind-control techniques. He quickly learns how to hijack the system and breaks down his beautiful assistant’s persistent walls. Will Holly forgive him for sneaking into her mind, if she ever learns of it?
Holly Maddox is determined not to dip her pen in the company ink, a policy that’s served her well…until Jon comes along. He steals her mind when he’s in the room, weakens her fortitude with every flash of his flirty eyes and secretive smile. How will she keep herself from falling in love with her boss when he melts her impulse control?
When Jon and Holly decide to sabotage the brain-washing experiments, they learn they’re up against a greater power than they’d bargained for. Doing the right thing risks lives. Will the truth of their beginnings wreck their sizzling affair?

New Release! Luminous Nights, a Sci-Fi Romantic Adventure

My steamy new Sci-Fi Romantic Adventure, Luminous Nights, comes out today at BookStrand! If you like nonstop action and adventure, check out Luminous Nights! Here’s what lurks in the pages: Cop or convict? How many faces can one man own? An assassin wearing a holographic mask and a prison tattoo boards Rachel’s freighter during a prison riot, intent on collecting gadgets capable of changing a man’s identity from the black-market gang who'd stolen them. She’s never sure of Jack's identity nor his goal, but he claims to be an Alliance I-Marshal. Cop or convict? The clues never stop contradicting. Rachel's horrified to find the bright holographic mask conceals the gruesome face of a monster. And the badge doesn’t slow him from murdering people right before her eyes. When Rachel learns Jack will trade innocent lives for the digital miracles, she determines to make the mercenary grow a heart. How could a stone-cold killer kiss her so hotly? How could she kiss such a dangerous deceiver? Jack has done years in prison to learn who’d stolen the remaining Gemini ticks, 3-D magic. Nothing will keep him from gaining extreme-technology capable of unleashing galaxy-wide chaos. Forget feelings for Rachel. She can’t stop him from killing everyone involved. *** Prison breaks, alien chocolate seduction, super weapons, doomsday devices, explosions, narrow escapes, murder-defying deceit, and threats of genocide, all while riding a harrowing roller coaster with a man wearing a holographic mask.

Mind-Blown's First Review!

I awoke to find an awesome review on my steamy Sci-Fi Romance BookStrand release, Mind-Blown! I'm going to print the whole thing here, because I can do that. It's my blog. From Marilyn at Nights and Weekends Reviews: This romantic thriller caught me by surprise. At first, it appears to be a simple workplace romance, but it has a sinister plot. Suspense intensifies when the lead hunk discovers that his employer is conducting mind experiments on select staff. But the twisted doctor in charge has not factored in the sleuthing powers of sexy green-eyed Jonathan Paige, the new HR department head, or his witty brown-eyed assistant, Holly Maddox. Holly is a fun-loving person, but she’s avoiding men right now to concentrate on job security and being a good mom. Jon is tempting, though—and it doesn’t hurt that he smells like a cedar stick! Jon is extremely resourceful—always ready with a disguise for secret visits to the medical lab—so he decides to use a little science for his own gain, to get inside Holly’s head. Though the two are constantly joking around, they still manage to pull off some awesome stunts as they try to put an end to the doctor’s sinister experiments. But while the mystery solving is intense and quick-paced, their sensual moments are electric. Predictably, once the guy thinks he has the girl, he messes up. The relationship, which you now care about, is in danger. In order for them to survive, they’ll need to help each other heal past emotional wounds. Author Michele Hart knows how to develop her characters, from Holly and Jon to the obsessed Dr. Ramirez. You’ll see how the doctor’s methods alienate the other characters—and you’ll feel their dread when they interact with her. It’s mind-blowing to imagine what this doctor is trying to accomplish, but it’s even more mind-blowing that she thinks she’s going to get away with it. The suspense of it all is thrilling. Mind-Blown is definitely a page-turner—or, I suppose, a “page-scroller,” since it’s an e-book. I stayed up late reading it, just to find out what would happen next. For those of you who have never read a romantic thriller, give this one a try—it might just blow your mind. Damn, that's an awesome review! There’s much more! Don’t take my word for it. I’m a fiction writer!

My Interview w/ Jon Paige, the Very Bad Hero of Mind-Blown

Here’s a first bite of Mind-Blown:

Jon Paige discovers his employer is developing illicit mind control techniques. He quickly learns how to hijack the system and breaks down his beautiful assistant’s persistent walls. Will Holly forgive him for sneaking into her mind, if she ever learns of it?

Holly Maddox is determined not to dip her pen in the company ink, a policy that’s served her well…until Jon comes along. He steals her mind when he’s in the room, weakens her fortitude with every flash of his flirty eyes and secretive smile. How will she keep herself from falling in love with her boss when he melts her impulse control?

When Jon and Holly decide to sabotage the brain-washing experiments, they learn they’re up against a greater power than they’d bargained for. Doing the right thing risks lives. Will the truth of their beginnings wreck their sizzling affair?

***

MICHELE: Welcome, Jon, Take a seat, get comfortable.

Jon takes a seat, bounces a little to test the virtue of the chair.

MICHELE: So, Jon, you’re the hunky and felonious hero of Mind-Blown, my spicy new Sci-Fi Romance available now at Siren-BookStrand. What was your motivation to use mind control on your assistant Holly?

JON: (smiles wildly) Have you seen her? Take a gander at our book cover. Holly was a stubborn one, wasn’t a fast fall for my smooth charms. She hid behind walls built around her soul over some long-ago heartbreak, and she was prepared for a prolonged assault. Even when I could see magic stirring in her pretty eyes. Her mind was set. It was a stroke of Fate that I divined our company’s mind-control tricks, and I was offered the chance to confirm my theory of the discovery.

And I only pulled off a few small break-ins, nothing worthy of the full-blown adjective “felonious” (uses finger quotes). I prefer the words “resourceful” and “unique thinker”.

MICHELE: (issues a disagreeing shake of her head) Now, Jon. Most laws would consider the multiple penetrations of a federal medical institution felonious.

JON: (shrugs, still smiles coolly) I didn’t take much. This isn’t some kind of police trap-and-interrogation, is it? You aren’t a cop, are you? ‘Cause I haven’t admitted to anything specifically and you have no evidence against me. That’s what my kick-ass attorney will say to any guy wearing a black dress behind a judge’s bench. (taps the microphone) Is this thing on?

MICHELE: So, you tested your theory on Holly?

JON: I actually tested it on a group of unknowing employees, but I did slip a little subliminal romantic help into Holly’s memory experiment. Just to see if I could weaken her stifling opposition against spending casual off-time with me.

MICHELE: You say the opportunity to change Holly’s mind about not dating coworkers was just too juicy to pass up?

JON: It absolutely was. I’m a weak man for a hot redhead and legs up to her chin. I blame a loss of good judgment from basking in Holly’s bewitching company five days a week.

MICHELE: Blaming the victim... Not to mention sounding very shifty in the employer-ethics corner. Even sounds bad for a friend to do to another friend.

JON: That it was, a violation, really. I’m not usually one to wish for this sort of power over another person. I’d felt very bad after I’d done it, had wished to undo it, and had thought to confess…until Holly kissed me and led me to her bed. I lost all interest in guilt somewhere along the way to her bedroom. It was when I listened to the music of her panting my name in my ear that I realized there was no going back. Not that I wanted to, at that point.

MICHELE: Was it a case of desperate people doing desperate things?

JON: Yes, it was exactly that.

MICHELE: I guess you figured you’d never get caught. It didn’t end well, did it?

JON: (shakes his head, looks remorseful) No. I hadn’t anticipated my little test-run of brain-washing would end like this at all. By the time it was over, I ended up in a blood-smeared bunny suit--yes, a bunny suit--and the world media and the President of the United States had become involved. Even worse, I nearly lost Holly. We’ll be in hiding for months.

Find out how badly it went.
