What a great title! I decided to grab Your Planet or Mine? by Susan Grant when I heard positive reviews on a forum that I frequent. It incorporates science fiction, romance and comedy. So I thought I had to give a try just for that! I wasn't disappointed. This was such a fun read!

An alien comes to earth to warn the earth that an invasion is coming, and to capture the heart of a young woman that he met years ago. The "romance" scenes get steamy, but they don't overshadow the story. ( )

When Jana was 9 she was mute, but that didn't stop her from making fast friends with the little boy she found stuck in the tree outside her bedroom window. Convinced the boy was her own personal Peter Pan it was no surprise that when he left her he granted her the wish of "The Gift of Gab".

Many years after leaving Earth and the girl he always loved Cavin of Far Star has returned to save her life and, consequently, all humanity on the planet. All he has to do is convince Senator Janna of California (who he knows as "Squee") to take her to her leader and convince the world that they are about to be invaded.

Sound silly? It is, but it is also a wonderfully cute book which unapologetically steals scenes and lines from pop culture and The Terminator. I really enjoyed it. Even the idea of a walk on water political family who does no wrong, as far fetched as it is, couldn't bring the story down. Janna and Cavin are a wonderful combination and their romance is very sweet. If you're looking for a story based completely in romantically silly escapism I'd certainly recommend this one. ( )

Susan Grant's books are usually a romp, and this one is no exception.

Jana Jasper is a state senator who does things by the book. Until she meets Cavin of Far Star in the ice cream aisle of the supermarket and is reminded of the imaginary friend she had when she was nine. Who turns out not to have been imaginary, but a visiting alien. Now he's back and here to save Jana - and Earth as a side effect - from impending invasion.

It doesn't help that he's been followed by a cyborg assassin and her family is currently being targeted by political scandal and slander.

From there, things just have to get messy - and they do. This isn't a book to take seriously, but it's a lot of fun. Jana and her family are lovely and Cavin is a lovely hero. It's nice to have a couple that get quietly on with falling in love while attempting to save the world instead of bickering every step of the way.

Jana's habit of turning the events of her life into tabloid headlines is a lot of fun and make me chuckle.

We also met Jana's siblings, who will also be getting books of their own. That's great news to be and I'm looing forward to My Favourite Earthling due out next year. ( )
