Have I mentioned lately how much I love going to Signal Bend? No? Well, I do.  I love sitting down and being transported to this world full of sincere, brutal, alpha men who love with their entire beings and protect what they have to fullest extent of their abilities.  It takes about half a sentence before Susan Fanetti easily lures you back.  Seriously, she makes it so easy.  The writing, as always, excels far beyond beautifully descriptive prose.  This author just harbors an innate talent to immerse a reader into her world at the same time making them fall in love with her beautifully developed characters.I had no expectations going into Bart’s story.  Intriguing as he was thanks to the critical part he’s played in the beginning of the series, I still had no idea what to expect, especially when his love interest came in the form of a reserved Hollywood actress.  Little did I know that Bart isn’t just a computer geek with a crush or that Riley hides a latent tigress behind her shield.  These characters ignite an explosion reaction in each other almost immediately.  Two people from opposite sides of the tracks who find solace in each other center this this love story.  Their passion for each other is completely unexpected revealing something inside themselves that they never knew they needed.  Their love story personifies acceptance and beauty in its rarest most raw form.  Rooting for Bart and Riley proved to be easy.  He’s a man with morals and a heart that would rival a saint.  Riley slowly figures out what it is she actually wants in her life and sets about living it.  It’s beautiful the way it plays out.The plot intricately develops in Alone on Earth.  There’s something ominous brewing just below the surface for a major portion of this book.  I’m not one of those people good at figuring out plots before they happen unless the author makes it completely obvious.  Susan Fanetti is not that author.  I never saw it coming – any of it.  What I expected and what I received were not even on the same planet. She expertly, descriptively, intriguingly, and completely floored me.  Seriously.Alone on Earth isn’t my favorite of the series, I think because Isaac and Lilli hold such a special place in my heart.  Their characters are just so unique and really represent what this series means to me as a whole.  But it’s still a really good story, well written and well developed..  We see what’s happening in Signal Bend after the fallout from the first books.  We see how the MC is reacting, how their allies are reacting, and how the characters we grown to love try to keep everything around in check.  As always, there’s lots a’happenin’ in Signal Bend and I feel fortunate and grateful I’ve been invited along on the exquisite ride.
