Summers world is blown apart when Cameron comes into her life. She's a healer from a long line of healers and loves the ponies that surround her on the small island. Something is different about Cameron but she can't put it all together until one day he explains to her that he is an alien from another planet. A planet called Cyteron where her dead mother now resides. He explains the ways of his planet and tells her that it's hers too which can't possibly be true, or can it? Good story! Who knows, maybe someone I know is an alien and I don't know it! Maybe one day we'll all find out if this is possible. Very interesting premise to think your neighbor could be from another planet, another galaxy. Why not!!!!!!!!!

I've been searching for this book for years. It had a plot and much loved characters that never let me forget them. It's a must read for all of you who like your romance a little out of the ordinary.

Barbara Delinsky is my favorite author and this book doesn't disappoint. Yes, you may have to suspend your imagination (doesn't almost every novel ask you to do that?), but within the confines of the characters she creates and the place where they live, I totally bought the whole thing from beginning to end. Each character has their own distinct voice, which helped to make them really come alive. A definite re-read. What a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

This book was just terrible. First you have a girl who is a "healer". That's fine. But then Delinsky brings in an alien. Get real!!! I wouldn't give this book to an enemy to read. I was truly disappointed! I almost don't want to read anymore books by Delinsky (but then a true fan wouldn't stop at this one). Hopefully the next book is better!!!

This was one of the most unimaginative, underdeveloped stories I've ever read. I won't put in anymore effort into describing why that is, as the author didn't put any effort in the writing to make it worth wasting any more of my time.

I read this book years ago...and I just loved it. The scifi angle of it was some kind of enchanting I don't even have words for. Of all of her books I've read (and that's a lot of them), it remains one of my favorites. I still have my copy from forever ago. If you agree with me on this one, try her book, Facets...which I also ADORED!

I know the plot was outrageous - an alien! But I just could not put this book down. Okay, so it's not a literary classic, but for pure fantasy and fun escape, it's a guilty pleasure I thoroughly enjoyed.

When I was halfway through the book, I just couldn't believe it had been penned by Barbara Delinsky. An outragious plot and dull characters do not a good romance make.

" The Outsider" by Barbara Delinsky was very disappointing, definitely not her usual level of writing. I have read about twenty of her books and she is one of my favorite authors

I really enjoyed this one. I don't get why the other reviewers didn't like it, I thought it was sweet, funny, sexy, and at times poignant. I will be keeping this wonderful book.
