Book Description

Publication Date: September 1999

In the technological mecca of 21st century Colorado Springs, Megan Cooper is in the business of pleasure, virtual gaming that is. With an advanced degree in computer technology, and the support of local investors, Megan puts together a research and production lab for her company, Virtual Delights.

Jake Mason comes from a family of genetic telepaths. His virtual company focuses on energizing the under-utilized portion of a person's mind to stimulate the virtual events. He needs Megan's know-how to make it all work, and he isn't above a little technical espionage to get it.

An electrical mishap traps both Megan and Jake in the virtual world. In the process of jumping from one danger to another, they learn to trust each other and fall in love. Just before unlocking the key to their return, they become separated. Will they find each other again in the real world or was their romance just a condition of virtual hearts?

From the high tech world of virtual reality to a secluded meadow in the Rocky Mountains, Virtual Heart delivers an exciting 21st century romance.

This review is from: Virtual Heart (Diskette)

This is a fantastic fast-paced read that grabs you on page one! Karin Huxman mixes the world of virtual reality and psychic phenomenon to reel you into the lives of two people who are definitely meant to be. If you're unfamilar with virtual reality, fear not. Ms. Huxman's voice and style create a world that goes beyond the technology. You don't read this book. You step into Megan and Jake's shoes, and live it.

(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Virtual Heart (Diskette)

Jake owned a company called "Dream Catcher". They used a technique to enhance psychic sections of the brain to create a virtual reality world. Megan owned a competitive company called "Virtual Dreams". They used computer, machine, and human interface to create a virtual reality world.

While both were running tests on their creations, an accident occurred. They found themselves trapped together in a virtual world combining both their programs. To survive until they escape the obstacles each had programmed, they called a truce and joined forces.

Megan's psychic abilities had been dormant until the accident. Once free, she did not know how to deal with it all alone. That, along with wanting to locate Jake, she set out to find him. However, Jake no longer had his psychic abilities due to the accident. Slowly they were coming back to him, but he also no longer remembered Megan or the love they found within the virtual world.

*****A perfect blend of Sci-Fi and Futuristic Romance! The characters are believable and unforgetable. Readers will be hard pressed to stop reading. A Keeper to be read over and over again!*****
