Description
When the impossibly hot new quarterback ignores all the pretty cheerleaders competing for his attention to come over and sit at YOUR lunch table…
what do you do?
I’ve always been the class dork—shy, bookish, not particularly pretty and definitely not popular. In other words, I’ve never been anybody important. Orphaned twice as a toddler, I’m not even sure who I am, other than a burden to my super-strict adoptive “aunt.” But then the gorgeous new quarterback, Rigel, arrives at Jewel High and turns his back on all the popular girls vying for his attention to seek out ordinary me—of all people! I’m over the moon, of course, but the first time Rigel touches me, sparks fly—literally! Then weird things start happening. Suddenly, I no longer need my thick glasses. My complexion improves, too. When I demand to know what’s going on, the answer both thrills and terrifies me. Not only is Rigel my bonded soulmate, apparently I’m not such a nobody after all! But my unexpected status comes with huge risks that threaten both my life and our newfound love.
Book 1 of an electrifying YA sci-fi romance series from a NYT bestselling author, where teen romance blends with science fiction to open a whole new world of action, adventure and discovery!
Reviews
I loved it
5By Littleboricua09I’m big for YA, teen books. I can never grow out of those. And this book had me on my toes constantly. At first I thought oh wow this is heading in one direction and I like it. And then boom plot twist as to what I was actually expecting. Still was on a similar path though. Gets you at that. The book was an easy read. Not hard to keep track with if you put it down for a few hours. 1-2 words that made me question my vocabulary but only further expanded it. Can’t wait to get started on book two. Bought it just as I was on the last 10 pages. The ending is like okay I can end this book here if I don’t continue to read it. Cuz it comes to a full “close” for certain things. Doesn’t leave a cliff hanger on the romance part of it all. But it does for the rest of it!Love Can Overcome Anything
5By mindreader24The romance in this book is amazing! Really edge of your seat type action as well!Good, not great
3By AistooInteresting story idea but the teen drama was a bit much. Still, I have downloaded the next in the series to see where the story goes from here.Perfect if you want a bit of a cliché
4By Roan IreI personally love the small bits of expected romantic events and then the unexpected bits that ensnare you in this fantastically bizarre tale of a Martian princess and her prince. Honestly 10 out of 10 would recommend. Hope to read the others in the series soon.THIS IS WONDERFUL

5By the ambiguous oneBest book I’ve ever read. Finished it in hours, couldn’t put it downGreat story
5By KeithbornmannI really liked this story. This is one that will stay with me for a while. I expect that when I finish the series, I'll return to read it again. Thank you, Brenda Hiatt, for writing this. This is a story about a normal, relatable teen girl discovering her grand heritage. It's a love story between Marsha, who is struggling to survive high school and Rigel who helps her to discover who she really is. And it turns out that she's much more than your average high school girl. I think the reason I liked the story so much is that it parallels the story of every one of us. It's our dream to be something more than we currently are. To me, Rigel represents the role Jesus Christ played in my life. He sought after me and revealed to me that my worth and value are exceedingly beyond what I had previously thought.Love at first read!
5By Sammers EvansThis series is amazing! I’ve devoured these books since I found the first one for free. Brenda is an amazing writer, she captures emotions we can all relate to. And she gives it that special sci-fi spark ✨
