KICKING BOTS by Vijaya Schartz

KICKING BOTS is Book Three of the Ancient Enemy sci-fi romance trilogy by Vijaya Schartz which I have to say was a very cool, sexy and entertaining futuristic love story.

What if you thought you were something you were not? For Dr. Melissa Campbell, her entire life is about to change. Not knowing who to trust she discovers that she alone carries the anti-dote to an alien plague. In an attempt to spread her remedy all over San Francisco her plane is shot out of the sky, only to be rescued by the uber sexy, rambo military hunk of a man who just happens to in a boat in the middle of the ocean. Who just happens to be there to rescue her and her alone. ... Bennett. Sexy, balls to the walls Bennett. Ladies man, his own military militia and a devilish sense of humor.

Not to mention he boat is packed with some seriously dangerous and deadly weapons that wave off a minor alien attack. Yeah, that all happens in the first few chapters.

What comes next is a fantastic futuristic, or call it a wild alternate reality other dimension. Humanity is in danger and the good doctor and her dashing rescuer are in the battle of their lives, a battle for the world as they know it and enemy's at their door calling themselves friend. Who to believe? What to do and in the end what is love worth? Those are just some of the battles that Bennett and Melissa have to trudge their way through.

A sensational and fantastical alternate universe was painted and laid out for me with every wondrous word. I really enjoyed being taken away into the lives of the characters as they weaved their way through emanate death, every lie and betrayal, every scary new path they took on their journey to get to the truth and save the world as they knew it. An ultimate sacrifice will have to be made in the end that will either tear them apart or solidify their love forever. 

Dr. Melissa Campbell, researcher at the San Francisco Center for Disease Control, requests help to protect her precious vaccine, one that could end the deadly alien plague. She didn't expect a crazy renegade like Bennett for a bodyguard. She hates military types, and this genetically enhanced super-soldier is pure testosterone, hot-headed, quick-tempered, impulsive, and downright impossible. But these are dangerous times with riots in the streets, and rumors of alien invasion. In a breathless race against time, experience the decisive battle for humankind, one that will decide whether Earth belongs to humanity, or to a powerful alien race.
