"A debut author pens a hot, sexy futuristic romance!"

Isabelle Prentiss is out of work, again. Life in near future Earth hasn't been very good to this empath. Looking at the galaxy-wide job listings, she comes across one that is intriguing. A female empath is sought to work on the planet Fortuna. Isabelle decides she has nothing to lose by responding to the ad. Little does she know!

Prince Zeff Borgio of the Planet Fortuna has been waiting eagerly for his destined soul mate to arrive. The royal counselor/empath had a vision of Isabelle three years ago. Zeff instantly is attracted to Belle, as he calls her, but he finds that Isabelle doesn't quite believe in the Fortuna way of bonding. And he finds her inhibitions quite a change from the overt sexuality that Fortunans display. Although Isabelle gives herself freely to Zeff sexually, she holds back emotionally.

Isabelle is the key to solving a murder mystery on Fortuna. Who has killed so violently and why? Will Isabelle be able to determine the culprit before he strikes again? And will Zeff be able to claim his future bond mate before those who want her for themselves?

EMPATH WANTED is a fast, fun read. The love scenes are hot and plentiful. Once Isabelle gives her heart to Zeff, their future looks very bright indeed. The author has left open the potential for sequels. I, for one, would like to see Zeff's cousin and Zeff's head royal guard each get their own stories. Give Ms. Meadows' debut novel a try if you are a fan of futuristic romance.

Summary

It's the year 2037 and unemployed empath Isabelle Pentriss from Earth answers a job advertisement on the planet Fortuna--a planet where she's shocked to discover nudity and sex are openly enjoyed in complete freedom.

Three Fortunian males soon heatedly pursue her: a drop-dead gorgeous prince who claims Isabelle is his prophesized bonded mate; his cousin, an Adonis who woos with wicked smiles and stolen kisses; and the commander of the royal guard, who invokes the bond challenge--one full day and night spent in his company...alone together. Choices, choices.

All these men, a new job, AND a murder mystery to solve with her psychic skills. Oh my, Isabelle will be a very busy girl indeed.

Rating: NC17.
