Silly but fun sexy romp

The planet Nerak is perfect--perfectly boring for Mala. When her android valet suggests one more hormone smoothie to deal with her boredom, she decides to follow her explorer-grandmother's example and visit Earth. After all, she is something of an expert on Earth. She's viewed the fascinating XXX documentary, Callie Does the Sheriff a number of times. Although the elders have banned space travel (they've also banned males as that sex created wars and problems, something tiny and resource-poor Nerak couldn't support), Mala decides to hijack a spaceship and head for Earth. She leaves her valet, Barton behind to cover for her. Sure enough, Mala finds a sheriff--sexy Mason McKinley. But Mason is the kind of guy who only believes what he sees--and insists he doesn't see anything he doesn't want to believe in. What he does want to believe in is Mala, though. Fueled by chocolate (there's no chocolate on Nerak), Mala is a sexual dynamo and Mason enjoys every minute. The only problem he has is her strange delusion that she is an alien. When Barton arrives, sorting out problems for the town of Washboard, Texas's single female, everything seems to have fallen into place. Unfortunately, though, Mala's ship was seen and tabloid reporters want to make Mala a story--a story none of them believe to be true. Author Karen Kelley goes completely camp in this novel of alien love. Mistaking an XXX-rated movie for a documentary is only the first in a series of mistakes and blunders as Mala explores a huge and different world, determines that bigfoot (Hypotronds to those of Nerak) have survived on Earth, mistakenly believes she is dying when the sun sets (Nerak has two suns and never gets dark), and spends three thousand dollars of Mason's money on sex toys to make sure her seduction of the local sheriff goes off on schedule. Barton, rejected on Nerak, is precisely what Mason's friend Carol needs--and would be pretty much a treasure to any woman. Modern Science Fiction requires development of plausible explanations for such details as having a tiny planet with gravity equal to Earths, parallel development of the English language, sexual compatability between alien species, faster than light space travel, and a breakdown in the law of conservation of energy (at one point, Mala admits to generating a gigawatt or so of energy through sex--the equivalent of a nuclear power plant). Harking back to an earlier time in SF, Kelley simply goes for the romp. CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE SEXY KIND isn't Science Fiction to make you think, it's paranormal romance to make you smile--and guess what, it works.

A very sexy book that is out of this world!

Mala was tired of her bored and perfect life. She wanted something different that her present. Her grandmother had told her stories about life in another planet called Earth. According to her grandmother life on earth was not like it was in Nerak. So Mala decided to travel to earth and see for herself. When Mason McKinley was elected to be sheriff of the small town of Washborn, Texas he didn't know that he would have to deal with crazy reporters searching for Bigfoot or Aliens! But here he was answering a call of a supposedly flying saucer crashing near his property. Instead of finding an alien he found a woman who must have been in an accident since she had a nasty bump on her head. Boy even with the bump she was sexy as hell! Since she apparently has amnesia he decides to take her to his place and care for her. After all is his duty as sheriff, right? Ha! The electric currents between them have lights flickering every time they are together! Literally! Karen Kelley keeps getting better and better! This is the kind of book that you can't put down! The characters are unique, the story have romance, heat and a funky sense of humor that will have you laughing out-loud! The secondary story is great too. I just love the way she heats up a sex scene and weaves the humor and heart in it. This is my first "alien" paranormal and I hope she has a sequel. Now if you are out at night and see color lights flickering in the sky, watch out, there must be a Nerakian having really good sex nearby!

A True Winner!

Mala is tired of sex with her perfect man. In fact she's so sick of it...it's been three years, twenty-one days, fourteen hours, and twenty-two minutes and nine seconds...but who's counting? Well, Barton, Mr. Perfect is and that's half the problem. Mala longs to experience all the wondrous things her grandmother did in her intergalactic travels. This means sneaking away and flying to Earth. Imagine her surprise when she arrives she runs into Sheriff just like in the holographs her grandmother had. But this Sheriff is a little different but in a good way. And life on earth is not exactly what she expected...at first. Sheriff Mason McKinley is tired and not in the mood for another UFO sighting but goes to investigate anyhow. Instead of a flying saucer and little green men he comes across Mala and her head injury seems to have caused amnesia, leaving him feeling protective and unusually drawn to his guest. But will he believe her when she tells him the truth and how on earth can there be a happy ending when they come from different worlds literally? Karen Kelley has hit a homerun with her latest contemporary romance. One thing I'm thrilled to see included is Ms. Kelley's entertaining wit. Be prepared to laugh out loud at the antics of all of the characters. Mala and Mason are great protagonist and this is a touching opposites attract romance. If you haven't read a Kelley yet...your missing out. I highly recommend this writer and suggest you add her to your must read list!
