"A wacky, outrageous, and entertaining tale"

Insanity is Maryellen Caswell's first reaction to the male voice suddenly speaking to her inside her brain in what should have been an incoherent foreign language. Her sister's more plausible answer is Manhattan. However, the voice co-occupying her head belongs to a stunned Sub-Commander Ur Targon. He knows something went wrong, probably sabotage, when he landed inside a live female rather than a dying specimen as directed by the standing operating procedure.

Ur believes that an anti-government incident on Styrex Three will happen, but has no idea why this remote orb the locals call Earth is the target. His first order of business is to escape his current host who is driving him crazy. However, the proximity between the two of them makes them even loonier as they begin to fall in love. However, can a body hopping alien and a grounded third rock from the sun local form a relationship outside her head?

Ponder The Man with Two Brains merging with the Men In Black inside a romance to understand Katherine Deauxville's wacky, outrageous, and entertaining tale. The story line is amusing due to the witty dialogue between the charming lead characters as if Steve Martin landed inside the head of Sigourney Weaver. This novel comes OUT OF THE BLUE, but fans of jocular science fiction romance that satirizes the convergence of the two genres will want to learn if Ur is a hunk or not?

Summary

Maryellen isn't sure whether to call the Men in Black or the men in white coats--all she knows is that she is having an incredibly alien experience. The voice that comes out of her mouth isn't hers (she certainly wouldn't swear like that!) and though the hand exploring her breast is her own, she's never had the urge to do that before. Her sister says Manhattan is finally getting to her. She claims Ur Targon is simply the last alarm bell of Maryellen's biological clock. But how can either of them deny a golden god who promises to make her see stars? Maryellen has to get Targon out of her body and heart. If he needs her enough, he can find his own way back in.
