I’ve seen the future, and the future is bright for this author.

Ana Mitchel, a biochemist, is part of a one-way mission to Mars. But when she asks Jolie, a local art student, to be her roommate and look after her home while she's away, the two are irresistibly drawn to one another. Will their love be enough, or will duty win out?

I’m not into full on science-fi, futuristic books, but this book although set in the future a little after 2060, it was done in a way that it was all the technology we know today, just fast forwarded a little bit. It meant that I could totally lose myself in the story and picture everything realistically. I loved it. Really well done, really brilliantly done.

This romance had it all, it was so sweet and so darn sexy. My god love is the most powerful thing in the world. In the universe. Its books like these the bowl me over with the power that love and romance has to bring happiness into peoples lives. These are the books that make me want to write romance, and support lesfic, because it so good and can make people so happy to escape for a little while and see that happily ever after is possible. It was gorgeous, but it was also real. The women had flaws, they made mistakes along the way, but true love always finds a way.

Also the author used the gorgeous setting to her advantage, it was whimsical and romantic and had my clutching my heart and swooning. The river, the tree where Jolie drew, the apple orchard, the shooting stars. So gorgeous, totally worked.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for ladies in science, especially biochem and biomed. Surprisingly, it rarely happens in romance. It so refreshing and so inspiring to see myself in a book!

I look forward to reading whatever comes next for this author! Happy writing!

I received an ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book has been quite interesting, the plot is about a presumably near future, although it can't be determined exactly, but is not difficult to believe in the technological breakthroughs that appear, neither the environmental issues that our world seems to head. So within its certain realism, the story developes to show that feelings still will be paramount then. And I like this optimistic view of our future. In regard of the story itself, my only complain is its rushed ending. After so much analizing along the book about the situation in wich both main characters are into, the conclusion is so succint. But eventually the book has been enjoyable and easy to read. Pretty recomendable.
