Crosscurrents
by D. B. Sieders
For some reason I can't pinpoint I wasn't all that intrigued by the blurb but I got a copy because I enjoyed Lorelei's Lyric so much and I was curious where Sieders would go from there. I'm glad I did because I really liked this story!
Ilsa has been the typical party girl spare to the heir but now she has to decide if she's ready to take over for her sister. She's got quite a few insecurities to deal with and she's concerned that others see her as inadequate as she fears she is. She's kinda at a loss until she runs into Paul.
I love the idea of a sexy, nerdy scientist :) The way that Paul wants to know about everything and doesn't get freaked out by the weirdness that he sees makes him a refreshing and interesting hero. Unfortunately his country upbringing, mixed with his cerebral tendencies, means that he's got some hang-ups of his own.
Paul's unique outlook on life and dedication to keeping the earth's waters healthy make him a good mate for Ilsa. He's so intrigued by everything she shows him ... and her obvious appreciation & attraction towards him. While his belief that she can be the leader that her people needs has her believing it as well. It's super sweet to see both of them grow in confidence thanks to the other.
Sieders had a lot of fun with the hot cheerleader and the nerd storyline, while the paranormal portion of the story makes it different. I liked how it felt familiar but was funky at the same time. There's a little bit of danger and some fun secondary characters to help round out the story - it keeps things exciting and gives hints to possible future stories. Add it all together & it means I'm super excited to see what comes next!
