Liked It “This book had me laughing out loud. I'm familiar with everything she drew from in this book from Roswell to Halo. I even had to look up who Josh Holloway was. I like him with long hair.

“Take me to your leader. Jana Jasper remembers her imaginary friend from years ago; he could glow, fly and made interesting noises. This guy standing beside her in the grocery store could not possibly be that boy; nor could he be an alien come to warn of an invasion. He was her imaginary friend. Cavin of Far Starr is risking everything, his life and his military career by exposing himself to Jana. Cavin didn’t know why he had an overwhelming need to protect Jana and her planet but for as long as he could recall she was for him. When interstellar bullets from an android assassin begin to fly Jana realizes that Cavin is not imaginary at all, they must work together to stop the invasion and save the Earth.”

“Part of a prominent political family, the heroine can’t speak as a little girl. An imaginative dreamer, she meets a “boy who can fly”—he’s really an alien in a suit, but before he leaves with his father—an anthropologist hunting down planets for their government to take over—he heals her vocal problem with his suit. Years later, she’s a California State senator. He’s an officer in the alien empire military, and he’s gone AWOL to come to Earth and warn the girl he never forgot that Earth is in danger from his empire. There’s an alien cyborg-type assassin after them, someone is digging up dirt on her family putting them into a political crisis—and oh yes, the world is about to come to an end, more or less. This is actually a fun read with the culture clash elements, lots of action, lots of romance—just a lot of good reading.”

“Nine-year-old Jana Jasper is the youngest child of a California state senator and a Russian ballerina. Jana knew great things were expected of Jaspers, but although she had a fertile imagination she had never been able to communicate verbally. She knew what she wanted to say but when she tried to speak the words got all jumbled and refused to come out. The one thing she wanted most was the gift of gab, and one night she got her wish!

A Coalition scientist has been sent to Earth to collect specimens in order to determine the planet's habitability. If the planet is found to be habitable, the Coalition would relocate the native inhabitants replacing them with their own citizens. Curiosity finds his young son, Cavin, caught in an oak tree beneath Jana's bedroom window. Unable to tell anyone about the magical glowing boy she dubs Peter (after Pan) Jana determines to rescue him herself. Cavin is as delighted with her as she is with him. For the first time he becomes concerned about the Coalition's intentions. Unfortunately he cannot stay. One night he return's to Jana's window to say goodbye. When Jana tries to follow him she trips and falls, cutting her knee. Cavin heals her wound, bestows her with a kiss, and flees. An amazed Jana calls after him, and it appears that he's done more than heal her outside. She can speak! Jana tells her older sister that some day she will marry that boy.
Jana put her gift to good use and by age 29, she had become the youngest state senator in California history. Unfortunately her social life hadn't been nearly as successful. Now at 32, the pressure was on for her to make a commitment or ruin her career. It's not that she hadn't tried. She'd even gone as far as to become engaged three times, but she'd never felt the magic that she'd felt as a little girl with "Peter", and that had been a figment of her imagination. Or had it?
When the Jasper's squeaky clean reputation is inexplicably tarnished, Jana is determined to keep a low profile. Unfortunately when she is approached in the supermarket, by a man resembling something from a video game, it becomes virtually impossible. No, he's not part of some new promotion. He's come specifically to find Jana. He claims to be that "imaginary" boy that had ruined Jana for other men. He had never forgotten her and had worked his way up through the coalition ranks with the single minded purpose of saving Jana and her world. Now Earth had reached the top of the Coalition's acquisition list, and to make matters worse, an assassin had been sent to make sure Cavin of Far Star never accomplishes his mission. So much for keeping a low profile! Now insanely in love and on the run, can the pair get to area 51 in time to save the planet?
What fun! This book is an emotional roller coaster with multiple elements of fantasy, humor, romance, intrigue, suspense, and a wonderfully strong family foundation without which the pair would have had no chance for success. Amazing! Your Planet or Mine? is a magical near-future adventure that is not to be missed.

“I loved this book. It was my first of Susan Grant's stories. I'm sorry I didn't discover her sooner.”
