How to Lose an Extraterrestrial in 10 Days by Susan Grant.

Science Fiction Romance

Published in 2007 by HQN Books How to Lose an Extraterrestrial in 10 Days is the third book in a three book series by Susan Grant. If you are keeping up with my post you know Susan is a former Air Force pilot who now flies international routes for United Airlines. In her spare time she writes Science Fiction Romance.

I liked all of the books in this series, but How to Lose an Extraterrestrial in 10 Days is my favorite. It takes an unlikely hero, Reef, and a suburban housewife, Evie, on a series of desperate adventures. Reef stands for Robotically Engineered Enemy Fighter. Reef is the villain in the first book in this series. He is a cyberpowered assassin who has been programmed and sent to Earth to kill Earth’s connections to one of the extraterrestrial powers. He was not successful and found himself with his internal computers turned off and his programming no longer working. Enter, Evie, a divorced suburban housewife with family connections to the same representatives Reef was sent to kill. Evie has her own set of problems. Someone thinks her chocolate business is laundering money for the mob, and her ex-husband want to take their two children. What Evie needs is a bodyguard and Reef ends up with the job. Evie gives Reef 10 day to prove he can do the job and thus the title How to Lose an Extraterrestrial in 10 Days. Evie and Reef both have issues and the solution for both make this an exciting read. How to Lose an Extraterrestrial in 10 Days won a Prism Award.
