Book Description
Can an alien mind reader free her from a prison of silence?
Cassie Steward has not spoken a word. Ever. A congenital defect robbed her of the ability to speak. Craving independence from her overprotective, well-meaning mother, she gets a job at the antique store in their small town. Then she meets Psy, an alien with telepathic abilities. From the moment his mind touches hers, the universe seems within her grasp, and she envisions fulfilling all her dreams with Psy at her side.
Soon after encountering the beautiful, shy Cassie, Psy realizes she’s his genmate. It doesn’t matter she can’t talk—he loves her as she is. But as their telepathic connection deepens, he begins to suspect her inability to speak is more than a congenital happenstance. Something far more sinister appears to be keeping her a virtual prisoner.
He’s certain his psychic powers can unlock the secrets in Cassie’s mind.
But will revealing the truth liberate her…or destroy their love?
My Review
Cassie works in an antique store, she loves her boss who is so understanding about her disability. Cassie can't speak. Her mother is incredibly over protective, and has guardianship of her so she really has no free will to get on with her own life.
Psy and his other alien friends landed on Earth when their space ship crash landed on Earth after their world was destroyed by bad aliens. They try to blend in so that the bad aliens never find out they survived, because they would come after them and kill them if they knew. Psy has telepathic abilities so he can speak to Cassie and she has telepathically speak to him. Soon enough Psy realizes that Cassie is his genmate, meaning she is his perfect match and mate.
While they are getting to know one another, Psy and his friends do some digging into Cassie's life and realize that there are things about her and her mother that she doesn't know. This throws some drama into the story but it was interesting to see Cassie get some of the answers that she didn't know she needed.
I thought I knew where this story was headed but I was wrong. There are a couple of great twists that kept me guessing along the way. The ending brought tears to my eyes, it was so sweet. I'm so glad that Cassie got the answers she needed and a happy ending.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
This sounds like a fun one. And that's neat they can speak telepathically and with him being so understanding that she can't speak aloud. I've read a few books of this author before and enjoyed them, might have to check this one out.
