I was given a copy of "The Exchange" by author N. Isabelle Blanco in exchange for an honest review as well as participating in the MaE virtual book tour.I knew that this book was listed as sci-fi with a twist of erotica. Being a sci-fi freak, I am always willing to read just about anything. Little did I know that I was getting a glimpse into two worlds that collide like freight trains headed towards one another.*****In "The Exchange," we are introduced to Maxwell Landon AKA Deimos. He's the Adelphi Organization's top agent and the best at what he does. Leading a team of men, they are sent orders to retrieve and deliver a highly classified individual.After looking at his orders, he finds that his charge is Magdalena Heaton. Only problem with this is, Magdalena died in a car accident. Reading the brief, he learns that her father has went to every extent possible to bring his daughter back to life.Taking her physical body, implanting a new and controversiql computer program into her brain that was developed specifically for her body, Magdalena has been brought back to life. Only problem is, she isn't Magdalena any more. She wants to be called Sapphire.Realizing that if it gets out that someone has played God and brought a human back from the dead, then she is going to be a target on everyones list. It's up to Deimos and his men to protect her and return Magdalena, Sapphire to her father.Where things start to go wrong is when Deimos sets eyes on this breathtaking beauty. She got an edge to her that sets his loins on fire. Just looking into her eyes does something to him that has never happened before. The sexual tension that starts to brew between these two will make your blood pressure rise and your breathing to quicken with anticipation of what is about to come.*****This was a really fast read for me. With it only being 158 pages, I was able to read it in a couple of hours. Also with how the story is written, you can't read it fast enough to find out how Deimos is going to handle their next close encounter.One thing about this book that is different from many others is how the author doesn't include a lot of conversation between characters. I found what we were reading was about was the inner conflict and argument that Deimos was having with himself over this eye-catching young lady.No matter what, this book will make you want more by the time it's over. Even for the length of the book, it has enough of an actual story line that satisfied my love for sci-fi.I'm highly curious about finding out how Deimos and Sapphire deal with the trouble that is always chasing them. But more than anything, I'm anxious to see how he handles wanting the woman of his dreams that has just shut down on him.
