Big, beefy, brawny, well-built men: yep, those fellows catch my eye for sure! So when I came across the picture you see on the cover of THE ENTITLED, I knew I had to give this body builder a story of his own. In perusing the covers for the science fiction romance trope of alien abduction, what do you see? Big, beefy, brawny, well-built men! So this is how THE ENTITLED got started.
CHOSEN AS MATE FOR A POWERFUL ALIEN WARRIOR
Aspiring
astrophysicist Gelsey Dewitt is having a very bad day. First her professor
dumps her in the middle of a seduction. Then, after a communication from
another star system is received and translated by NASA, most of her student
group is chosen to accept the invitation and will journey to an alien planet...
but, alas, not her. As if that isn’t enough to ruin her day, then she is
pursued by a persistent body-builder type of guy, Zaccheus, who doesn’t take
“no” for an answer. When he offers to show her his secretive home, she
inadvertently says “yes”. Then next thing Gelsey knows is that she wakes up as
prisoner in a very strange place--a place with futuristic furniture,
blue-tinged food, identical male quadruplets who think her feet are tiny, and
broad, powerful Zaccheus who seems to have the hots for her. Where on God’s
good Earth is she?
REFUSED AS MATE BY A PUNY TERRAN FEMALE
Proud
Brhite Warrior, Zaccheus of the Fortis Gladius clan, a member of the Entitled
ones on his planet, Brhin Primus, desires to become a Leader for his people. In
order to accomplish his goal, he learns he must choose as mate a female from an
inferior world, Terra. At first repulsed by the idea, he then vows to do what
must be done since this female is foretold to become a savior for his suffering
world. He travels to the lowly Terran planet and, as soon as he spots Gelsey,
he knows she is the one. He does her the very greatest honor of selecting her
for the Treaty of Union, but she... she has the audacity to refuse him, to
reject him. How is Zaccheus supposed to become a Leader for his people and save
Brhin Primus if Gelsey will not become his chosen mate?

Here are some wonderful reviews:
* When most people think about Alien Abduction, they think of a late-night, anonymous capture, the purpose of which is to do nefarious deeds to the Human. In THE ENTITLED, the abduction is almost by consent. Almost. And there are very worthwhile reasons for this snatching of an Earth woman, Gelsey, by alien warrior Zaccheus. As one character told Gelsey, “Who wouldn’t want to get abducted by Zaccheus?” Indeed! Both Gelsey and Zaccheus learn to respect each other and the cultures on both of their worlds, but giving up her planet for his is a monumental decision for her to make. Will she do it? As for Zaccheus, I loved how he came to change his way of thinking: pairing with an insignificant Terran? Repugnant!! I am “Entitled” to read this wonderful story, and you will be too! Two thumbs up!--On The Edge Reviews
* 5 Stars! An alien abduction, that’s what Ms. Knight’s newest novel, THE ENTITLED, is about. This is another action-packed adventure and highly sensuous read by the Queen of Romance Writing with a Twist! Take a flight to a faraway planet. Solve the mystery of a world fighting with itself. Have a taste of Zaccheus, an Entitled one and one of the sexiest men alive--human OR alien. Will Earther Gelsey accept or reject proud Brhite warrior, Zaccheus? Grab a copy and find out!--Norwood Reviews
This book is part of the Fascinating Sci-Fi line.
Here’s a real life tidbit. At the beginning of THE ENTITLED, Gelsey and her xenopology group gather at a pub on the Big Island of Hawaii. McDwyer’s. McDwyer’s Pub is a nod to an Irish bar from my old neighborhood. One thing I like to joke about is that my neighborhood had at least one bar and one hair salon on every block! No kidding!
Truthfully, with all those bars around--and believe me, there were many!-- I only visited one once. I didn’t go into McDwyer’s, but McMahon’s Bar, closer to my address. Alas, as I understand it, in this neighborhood, all the Irish bars are closed. L
Let’s drink a mug of Irish beer in their honor!
Sitting in a dark corner booth at McDwyer’s Pub,
Gelsey Dewitt ignored her noisy surroundings to focus on the bottle of
half-finished Bud Light beer. She waited for Hazel Perry to burst in through
the pub’s solid oak door, allowing sunshine to brighten the tavern’s dark
interior. Her friend was late, but then again she usually was, so that wasn’t
why Gelsey felt lower than a hole.
The why of it sat, unconcerned, at the bar counter,
hanging out with other members of her elite xenopology group. She glanced over
at the man who had so callously stomped on her heart.
Gulping down distress, she then turned her attention
back to the sweating beer bottle in front of her. Even now she couldn’t look at
Professor William Wynne’s elongated face, unruly shock of flaxen hair, and
erudite black glasses that always slipped down his long nose... no, she
couldn’t look at him without a pang of regret, or was that embarrassment?
Something, anyway--some emotion squeezed her ill-used heart.
Gelsey took a long gulp from the beer bottle. Forget
about sipping; she wanted to forget... she needed to forget what had happened
last night in Wynne’s hotel room.
A bar or pub or tavern was, by necessity, dark and a
bit gloomy. But even with this murky atmosphere, she felt as if her cheeks
actually radiated pink with mortification.
I hope you enjoy Gelsey and Zaccheus’ out-of-this-world story!
