I've NEVER written a review on Amazon before, but after reading this book I just had to. I cannot believe there are people who didn't enjoy this book. It's clever and innovative with a great premise. I've read Ms. McCoy's angel books and they were good, but this one is great.
Zara, an alien woman comes to earth looking for her perfect match and finds him in Daniel Murphy. Daniel had to kidnap his own son and is in hiding himself. When he meet's Zara he's a goner. This book has mystery, suspense, comedy and HOT HOT Sex scenes. It reminded me of that movie Starman. The idea in that movie was simple too. We never find out why the alien hero comes to earth, but he and the heroine fall in love and he is forced to go back but we never really know why. This book is so much better because they manage to stay together.

... Buy this book. you won't be sorry.

This is a definite read- when it was over, I was left feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. Will keep going back for more from this talented author. Writing style is witty- and the words roll off the page with well versed rythem. A most enjoyable read and a sweet story. Kudos go to Judy McCoy!

In this charming tale of mistaken identity, cosmic romance, and laugh out loud depictions of small-town life, Judi McCoy delivers a fantastic read. The characters and setting are so vividly described that I feel as if I'd had a piece of cherry pie in Lucy's luncheonette. Wanted: One Perfect Man was difficult to put down (I love when that happens!) and I can't wait to dive into the next book of the series. Way to go, Judi!

This latest book by Judi is a whimsical, entertaining sci-fi romance that kept me interested from start to finish! I will definitely buy the next book in this series.
the characters are adorable, the plot is very unique.
Definitely one of the best I have read in a long time except for Judi's other books of course.

I love this book. Zara is an alien who comes to this planet to find her perfect match...who is hiding out under the name of Daniel Murphy. He has a son he had to kidnap because of a past situation and doesn't want to get involved with anyone. But Zara finds our he's the man she's searching for and wins his heart. Ms. McCoy got me to believe that maybe aliens do exist and are living among us. Best of all, I didn't want this book to end. I cannot wait to read the next story in the saga.

At first I was skeptical on the premise of this book, but after just a few pages I was totally drawn into the story of an alien woman who comes to earth to meet a special man. Zara is a smart woman who takes her duty to her world very seriously. Her perfect match, Daniel Murphy, is an honorable man who had to do something dishonorable and kidnap his own son when he realized the boy's grandparents would never allow him any rights to his child.

Daniel and Zara's love is real, as is their desire to be a family. The ending is a joy to read, very touching and believable. I can't imagine anyone who won't like this book. I highly recommend it.

Zara is an alien who's come to earth looking for her perfect match. Due to a scientific glitch on her planet, the men can no longer father children. Since earthlings are the closest in the universe to her people's species, coming here is a no brainer.

By the end of this story I was totally convinced aliens existed and they had visited here often. McCoy takes an improbable plot and fills it with twists and turns that have the reader comepletely enthralled. The sex is hot, the characters charming, and the hero so real you can see him clearly in your mind.

I highly recommend this innovative romance to anyone who likes great stories, humor, and a happy ending.

Wonderful plot and story line. I loved the idea of a single father raising his son, on the run and in hiding from wealthy evil relatives. I liked Zara, the alien. The weakness here was in the author's writing style and dialogue. The story just plodded along. I was not surprised or delighted at anything. I would have preferred a little more wit or interest in the dialogue. It wasn't as fun or heartwarming as I had hoped. I think it may have been lacking emotional development. I didn't feel the emotions of Daniel or Zara as much as I do in other romance novels. Following are a few other specific problems I had with this book.

CAUTION SPOILERS:
1. The author used one of my pet peeves: using vague communication to create conflict. Daniel and Zara have sex for the first time. The next night, Daniel invites Zara to his home for the evening. Zara is vague and doesn't answer directly. Then, in her presence, Daniel makes plans with some guys for the night. The next day Zara doesn't know why Daniel is angry at her.

2. I was curious as to how Lerner, the private detective, found Daniel. That would have added something interesting to the story, but the author never answered that question.

3. The epilogue was like the start of another story. It had almost no connection to the Zara story. There were too many unanswered questions. What was the big discovery that kept Lucas from getting any sleep for three nights? Was it related to the aliens like Zara? What did he know, and how did he know it? Was the woman next to him an alien? It was an unsatisfying epilogue.

Sexual language: moderate. Number of sex scenes: three. Setting: around 2004 (small town) Button Creek, Texas. Copyright: 2004. Genre: romantic science fiction.

I'm a big fan of movies/t.v. shows such as, "Roswell" "Taken" and "Starman". This book by Judi Mccoy will entice anyone that is a fan of such stories. Attractive female alien, Zara, is sent to Earth in search for a human male chosen by the elders from her planet in an effort to continue the life of her species. Her chosen mate, Daniel Murphy is hiding from his dead wife's parents in a smalltown in the BIG state of Texas with his son Will due to custody issues. The situations the characters encounter throughtout this story are fun and exciting enough to keep the reader turning the page. Judi Mccoy really has an interesting way of weaving romance, action and sci-fi into one great adventure. Even those that may not find this book to their liking finishes the story - and writes a review.

This book captured me from page one. I always look forward to Ms. McCoy's fanciful novels, but she's outdone herself with this one. A mixture of romance and sci-fi with heavy emphasis on the romance, the story is told with her usual humor and imagination. Zara is an alien, sent to earth on a mission with eight other women. Centuries of gene manipulation have left her world in chaos, with the males on her planet unable to produce viable sperm or have sex. Since earthlings are her species closest match, the women must find their perfect human male, mate with them and return pregnant with a male child.

Zara is sent to a tiny town in northern Texas, where she must find a man who, unknown to her, is in hiding. Besides the great sex scenes, the book has lots of interesting characters, a wonderful hero, and enough twists and turns in the plot to keep the reader enthralled. The ending had me in tears, rooting for the hero and heroine with all my heart.

McCoy handles the improbably storyline so superbly, you'll close this book and believe with certainty aliens and space travel exist. I think this book is the first of three. I can't wait to read the others.
