"THE FOREST WHISPERS is a good read"

Ranger Lana Eloy of the United Federation of Planets' Intergalactic Rangers goes to Ata Prime, a male-dominated world, in search of a serial killer. The king of Ata Prime sends the captain of his guard. Corin Thantos, after the serial killer. Lana is determined to capture the serial killer-- no matter what a chauvinistic ruler says. Lana tries to leave Corin behind, but they meet up in their search for the killer. Lana is greatly attracted to Corin and they become lovers. Will Lana and Corin be able to catch a killer, who can change at will? Will these people from two very different worlds find a way to be together?

THE FOREST WHISPERS is an enjoyable science fiction romance with likeable characters and several erotic love scenes. Lana arrives on Ata Prime with preconceived notions about the male population. She expects Corin to be a barbaric male, who subjugates women. Corin has to struggle to show her that he is not as she anticipated. I really wish that Corin's culture had been further explored, because I had trouble believing that the rather unchauvinistic Corin was a product of it. I would have liked an explanation of his attitudes. However, Corin was a wonderful hero--the strong, silent type with deep emotions. Since Lana was equally strong and determined, they were perfectly matched. All in all, THE FOREST WHISPERS is a good read; I recommend it.
