Book Description

Series: The Virtual Reality | Publication Date: December 12, 2008

THE VIRTUAL MAN [The Virtual Reality 1] Jaded from an ugly divorce, and traveling to the edge of colonized space on a luxury starship, Tiana Weiss books a suite equipped with a holographic chamber. Anticipating a vacation in a virtual world limited only by her imagination, without men, Tiana finds, to her surprise, the chamber comes equipped with its own holographic attendant, resembling a Greek god straight from Mt. Olympus. Discovering the 'holograph,' for which she felt an unwanted, inexplicable, physical and emotional attraction, is actually Derek Hart, a brilliant computer programmer and escaped convict. Tiana's trip takes on the proportions and heat of a comet trying to wrench free from the gravitational pull of a collapsing star as she begins trading her anger and hurt for wanton desire. Two brilliant minds, two battered hearts, two passionate lovers battle their own hurts, struggle for physical survival and desperately seek to unravel a conspiracy that threatens the existence of 25th century earth. *** "The Virtual Man brings to life the reality that love can fully flourish and be ultimately satisfying in a committed relationship. Grounded in freedom and safety, love bears fruit in a deeply emotional, wildly passionate, and carnally fulfilling way. Meet my characters. Share their triumphs as they fight for their place in the universe, their lives, and their love." ~ Nikki Sinclaire ~

This review is from: The Virtual Man (Siren Publishing Classic) (The Virtual Reality) (Kindle Edition)

This book is an action/adventure romance, laced with humor, that will keep you on the floor laughing!! The characters are over the top, yet real people in every way.

Ms. Sinclaire creates a realistic 25th century setting where humanity still face the same romantic struggles it always has and always will. The hero (Derek) is a combination computer geek and "bad boy" who's hiding from the law. He pretends to be a computer generated holograph in the heroine's (Tiana's) cabin as she travels on a starship, heading to a job assignment on the fringes of the "civilized" part of the galaxy. As Derek tries to get into Tiana's heart, as well as other parts of her anatomy, they are being pursued by a people (the Terrilians) bent on the destruction of the human race. Unknown to Derek and Tiana, their very existence is a threat to the Terrilians.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Perfect Blend of Romance and Science Fiction, January 21, 2009

Pixie "Love 2 Read" (Southeast USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Virtual Man [The Virtual Reality 1] (Paperback)

Great book. If you love romance and sci-fi (or even if you don't like sci-fi) Ms. Sinclaire blends the 2 genres with humor and style. Delightful read. The romance is genuine, the hero and heroine REAL and the sci-fi not so far out there that I need a manual to follow it. Can't wait for book #2! The Virtual Man [The Virtual Reality 1]
