**4.5 Stars** In the future, existence is painfully bleak… almost mindless… A catastrophic illness has wiped out most of the human race, leaving earth as a volatile, inhospitable place unlivable for those that have managed to survive. Tamryn, a human woman and lost soul, struggles through hopelessness and depression as she mourns the overwhelming loss of her husband and daughter. She is an exile now, one that was saved by an alien race and placed in a settlement that demanded hard work in exchange for the continuation of her life. Tamryn stumbles across the path of an Oshairan/Ekoshen half-breed alien, named Tal-Malye, and life as she knows it will never be the same again. The gorgeous, mysterious Tal immediately captures Tamryn’s complete attention and evokes an extremely passionate response that puts the two characters in an unexpected, yet eventually desired predicament, irreversibly bonding them together forever. We follow Tamryn and Tal on an emotionally charged journey where they must face their fate and their own differences as they combat ruthless, unfair and terrifying external forces throughout the story while falling desperately in love with one another. I must admit I was a bit leery when I first began this book. The story contains certain elements that do not normally appeal to me…. such as aliens, and futuristic plots and scenarios… but I have to say that Ms. Lanham did a brilliant job mixing a handful of genres together so beautifully and really knows how to bring about and draw out a wide range of emotions from a reader. This story has it all; Dark fantasy/Sci-Fi infused with a whirlwind adventure, topped off with a gripping, otherworldly romance that will quite literally knock your socks off. The chemistry between Tamryn and Tal is explosive. An Unlikely Place is extremely well-written with perfectly chosen words, a creative plot and vivid descriptions that will keep readers clinging to each page. And let me just say… Tal is HOT, HOT, HOT!! Man o’ man, what an alien! A definite must read and I really look forward to reading more from this author!
