Ahoy there me mateys!  I didn't read the blurb because the cover says it all.  Awesome author and aliens.  Yup.  Beam me up.  This had such a fantastic fabulous beginning.  It made me laugh.  Francie doesn't believe in aliens until getting abducted by one! Francie, the main character, was a hoot.  So was the rest of the gang that ends up involuntarily joining her.  This is a cute, fluffy feel-good story.  It is a first-contact story with a side of romance and a dash of western and sci-fi movies.  I didn't get all the references but was certainly entertained by those I did recognize.  It was a fast, if somewhat rambling, read that made me smile.  I am glad to have read it.  Arrr!

I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
