A Paranormal RomanceDream Realm Award Finalist For Best Speculative FictionAn Impossible Meeting!: Vivianne Quinn is staying at her brother's apartment to recover from a personal tragedy. Her visit is anything but tranquil, for soon a serial killer targets her as the next victim, she has to "babysit" a valuable artifact, and she falls in love with a stranger who is unlike anyone she has ever met. How will Vivianne react when she finds out just how different he really is?Neanderthals' Nemesis: It's common knowledge that Neanderthals are extinct, vanished from the face of the planet about 30, 000 years ago.
What remains a mystery is how or why this sudden disappearance occurred. Sometimes, however, common knowledge can be wrong...."Could Neanderthals still exist? And if so, would they look just like the rest of us? Susanne Marie Knight takes those questions and runs with them in COMPETITORS! and shows us that not everyone is what they appear to be. When readers first meet Vivianne, she is a tormented young woman who constantly wonders why she didn't also die in the car crash.
But as the book progresses, she becomes the strong woman she must have been before the accident. As for Max... Max, Max, Max. What a combination of alpha maleness and intelligence, which this reviewer believes will cause many women to swoon. He's dominating, yet gentle, and treats Vivianne with great respect. An interesting and fun-filled romance, COMPETITORS! is the perfect read for those looking for something a little different in their love stories."-- Romance Reviews Today"Susanne's been chosen as one of the best e-book authors the Internet has to offer for COMPETITORS! "--Nights and Weekend.com.
Susanne Marie Knight certainly has a diverse imagination, and she blends suspense with a haunting question--why did Neanderthals abruptly vanish 30, 000 years ago--in COMPETITORS! But what if they're not extinct? What if they walk among us? This is a plot that can easily sound farfetched in the wrong author's hands, but Ms. Knight pulled it off, suspending my belief and wrapping me in an enthralling tale.
You want an author with unique style? Susanne Marie Knight is your gal.--Nights and Weekends.com"4.5 Books! "I liked COMPETITORS! I have read other books about Neanderthals and this species never came across as anything other than primitive. The Neos in this book are caring, gentle people who value their ancestors and want what everybody wants in life - to be loved and understood. I enjoyed the growing awareness and romance between Vivianne and Max.
Despite their differences and the dramas they are living through, there is a bond between them that neither can deny. It was amusing to think that the Neo's consider Vivianne and her people savages. The derogatory term of calling someone a Neanderthal may not be so bad after all. It's always good to see history turned on its head. I also liked the fact that the killer is not known until the end. I thought I knew who it was but I was wrong.
The book also got me wondering if there are Neos amongst us. There are weirder things out there. If you enjoy books that are beyond the normal, then I would recommend COMPETITORS! It's a fresh, unique romance that is kind of sweet and overwhelmingly passionate.--Once Upon A Romance"Author Susanne Marie Knight has done a convincing job of making the exotic Max as hypnotic and flat-out irresistible as he needs to be, to accomplish everything he is called upon to do.
Max isn't only a sex hunk, he is smooth, educated, and well traveled. He can communicate mentally, and his sense of smell gives new definition to the word "intimate." Knight will have readers knocking on her door asking where they can get their own Neanderthals. COMPETITORS! is well thought out. Knight has more than a superficial knowledge about Neanderthals, and she has used it to shape her what-if into a fun, original plot."-- Reviewers-Choic...
