Our Reviews

Review 1
Linda Phillips masterfully weaves this gripping tale. The storyline is engaging, keeping readers on edge, while Galaxas’ character is richly developed, making her a standout in the narrative. I found this book captivating and thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end.
“Sunsets & Dandelion Kisses: A Sci-Fi Romance” by Linda Phillips takes readers on an enthralling journey. The protagonist, Galaxas Gaylord, feels trapped in a cycle of loneliness, yearning for real love while dealing with her distant and increasingly toxic boyfriend, Clayton. Aside from her parents, the only person who truly stands by her is her best friend, Annalee.
With a unique light green-gray complexion and eyes that shimmer like sunbeams, Galaxas has always stood out. Her mother chose to homeschool her, shielding her from a world that wouldn’t understand her. Disturbing visions of being hunted plague Galaxas, and after an incident where Clayton mysteriously disintegrates during an argument, she starts to believe she’s not of this world.
Shocked and confused, Galaxas turns to her mother, who reveals startling truths. In a panic, they rush to Ted Stevens International Airport in Anchorage, aiming to flee. As the secrets unfold, Galaxas faces life-altering revelations that challenge everything she knows.
Review 2
Linda Phillips’ latest novel, “Sunsets & Dandelion Kisses: A Sci-Fi Romance Novel”, is the third installment in her series, but it can be read as a standalone.
The protagonist, Galaxas Gaylord, is instantly captivating. Her distinct appearance sets her apart, leading most people to keep their distance, leaving her in a state of loneliness. She longs for love, but only finds comfort in her parents and her best friend.
When Galaxas decides she’s had enough of her toxic relationship, something extraordinary happens. She had a thought to kill her boyfriend and soon he disintegrated. Shocked by her newfound power, she turns to her mother, who reveals life-changing secrets. The discovery forces them to flee their home in Alaska, leading to a whirlwind of action and adventure. Galaxas’ life takes an unexpected turn when she crosses paths with the mysterious Troid, a pivotal figure in her journey. But who is he really? To uncover the truth, you’ll have to dive into the pages of this book.
Review 3
I absolutely adore science fiction with a hint of romance, and Linda masterfully weaves these elements together in this book. She has quickly become one of my go-to authors. The world she creates is rich and imaginative, and her writing effortlessly draws you into the story, making the outside world disappear.
Galaxas Gaylord is the heroine of this story, born with a light green/gray complexion, hair that shimmers with hues of soft green and gray, and eyes that look like sunrays . Her features, much like her mother’s, set her apart from others of her kind. Galaxas had been stuck in a destructive relationship with Clayton, the only person who ever showed her any interest. Yet behind his affection, he hid his true nature—constantly demeaning and physically abusing her.
When Galaxas finally gathered the strength to leave him, Clayton’s wounded pride turned to violence. As he tried to hurt her, a surge of power she had never felt before erupted within her, and with a single thought, she ended his life. This was the moment Galaxas discovered her hidden abilities. Shocked, she turned to her mother for answers, but her mother’s calm acceptance of the situation only deepened Galaxas’s frustration. Why hadn’t she been told sooner? Perhaps it could have saved her from years of pain. Now, with these newfound powers, Galaxas is faced with many uncertainties—and a desire to find someone who will truly love and accept her. Will she ever find her soulmate?

A friend can be your worst enemy:

Some friendships are forged in trust—others in betrayal.

When Ember Pines wakes up in Seward, Alaska, with no memory and a strange affinity for the wild creatures around her, she has no idea who she is or what she’s running from. Taken in by the kind and rugged Tyrus McKendry, Ember begins a quiet, healing life on his remote ranch. But even in the stillness of the Alaskan wilderness, danger stirs.

There’s something extraordinary about Ember…something not entirely human. Tyrus sees it. So do the animals that seem drawn to her. And so does the dark force that’s been hunting her across miles and memories.

As mysterious threats close in, Ember is haunted by flashes of another life, and of a man with storm-gray eyes who once held her heart. Ari, her fiancé, is desperate to find her. But someone will do anything to keep them apart—and to keep Ember from discovering the truth about her role in a magical war that could decide the fate of both mankind and the animal kingdom.

Love, memory, and magic are scattered in the wind,

But destiny has a way of finding its way home.

Review 1
Love Scattered in the Wind by Linda Phillips is the fourth installment in the Follow Your Heart series. The story follows Ember Pines, who has just accepted a proposal from Ari and couldn’t be happier—though her best friend, Addley, is secretly envious.
Soon, a dark presence begins to loom, and Ember’s loved ones, including Ari, grow worried for her safety. When Ember suddenly loses consciousness, she awakens in an unfamiliar realm where she is cared for by a kind man named Tyrus McKendry.
Meanwhile, Ari is frantic in his search for Ember, and suspicion falls on Addley. But what truly happened? And will Ember ever remember who she really is?
I thoroughly enjoyed binge-reading this book over the weekend. Linda Phillips’s descriptive writing style makes the story vivid, and Ember’s character is instantly endearing. The pacing is excellent, the cover art is beautiful, and I loved every moment of the journey.
Review 2
Fans of fantasy stories are sure to enjoy Linda Phillips’ latest book. Ember Pines and Ari have just gotten engaged, and their happiness is shared by everyone around them. But when Sharley warns Ember that their friend Addley has been acting strangely—and harboring jealousy toward her—Ember brushes it off.
Soon after, Ember wakes up in an unfamiliar place with no memory, not even of her own name. She is discovered and cared for by a stranger named Tyrus. Meanwhile, Ari is frantic, searching everywhere for Ember and blaming himself for letting her walk home with Addley. Sharley confides her suspicions about Addley to Ember’s grandfather and others. Ember’s loved ones will do everything possible to bring her back.
The story grows more captivating with every chapter. Linda Phillips’ engaging writing style, along with the many twists and turns, kept me hooked until the very last page. Ember and Ari won me over right away with their beautifully written characters. I’m already looking forward to exploring more of the author’s work in the future.
