Roan Hendrix, an operative for an elite force, is
angry. Instead of being returned to active/field duty after
a leg injury, he is being assigned to train a new recruit.
Due to her unique abilities and lack of interpersonal
skills, the initial training period will be one on one, no
interaction with other recruits.
Lyraka, a half Nerakian and half earthling, is excited
and looking forward to become an elite force member. Her
entire life she has lived in an artist colony. Even home
schooled she has had little opportunity for interaction
with others. Now that her mother has returned to the planet
Nerak, this is her chance for freedom and the ability to do
as she pleased except Joe Beacon her recruiter, has her
working alone with a veteran agent. Her first encounter
with him heats up her body chemistry. She's got a burning
interest to Roan's overpowering presence, but her biology
causes her temperature high enough to fry somebody. This
isn't what she signed up for and she wonders if she's made
a mistake or if this is just one in a long chain of them.
At the training center Roan is disappointed to learn
Lyraka has no training to be a warrior, and he begins her
with the grueling basics. He figuring if he keeps her busy
enough, she'll quit because she's not cut out for this, and
he won't succumb to his lust for her. She's beautiful, but
Roan wonders how can Joe think she's special, and then he
witnesses her speed and ability to camouflage with her
surroundings. There is more to her than meets the eye, but
is it enough to make her part of the team?
Intell reveals there's trouble in the galaxy. Joe
needs his 'special' team ready now. So, after being
isolated, Lyraka finally joins a group. Will she fit in?
And what about her relationship with Roan? Was it real or
now that she doesn't have his undivided attention, will he
abandon her for a woman with less baggage?
DATING OUTSIDE YOUR DNA by Karen Kelley is a romance
novel sprinkled with suspense, adventure, and science
fiction. It was a fun read to fill the time, and kept my
interest during the entire novel, especially seeing how
Roan gets around literally going up in flames around
Lyraka!
Special
agent Roan Hendrix is a straight shooter with weapons and
women, so he doesn't appreciate it when his boss throws him
a curve. But what a curve. A half-human, half-Nerakian who
needs a one-on-one crash course in how best to channel her
powers. And while Roan's usually a master at separating
business from pleasure, one glance into Lyraka's green eyes
is enough to spark scorching fantasies of seriously close
encounters with the tall, tanned temptress...
Lyraka's trying not to mind the way Mister Macho
Special Agent keeps barking orders, but it's impossible to
ignore Roan's rough-and-ready appeal. The sensitive ponytail
guys Lyraka grew up with didn't have a clue how to handle
her outsized sex drive, but Roan looks like he'd be up to
the task in every way. Better still, he never got the memo
that Lyraka's human side makes her—ahem—"special talents"
even greater than the average Nerakian's....
