GoodReads Synopsis:
After a yearlong separation from her
soul mate, all Casey wanted was to have hot, mind-blowing sex with Hothar. That
little fantasy went up in smoke when she’s stuck babysitting Aphrodite, a
cowardly witch, who is the galaxy’s only hope of survival. To add to the fun,
Casey has picked up an invisible hitchhiker who she named Hitch. Is he friend
or foe?
Can a kickass psychic, an invisible hitchhiker, a deadly
warlord and a cowardly witch stop the brain-eating aliens from destroying the
galaxy? Only time will tell.
Author’s Note: This book was originally published in Pets
in Space #8. It has been retitled, revised, and expanded.
Sophia Rose's Review:
A psychic human doing her part to save
the galaxy has been impatiently waiting for the day she can reunite with the
alien who captured her heart while they were both too young. Working against those who would slaughter
half the galaxy to rule all, they are finally getting their chance to be
together working as partners. However,
the chance comes with an annoying ditzy witch who faints at the whiff of
trouble. The title of this one is
certainly apt and I had a good time adventuring about the galaxy with Casey,
her hitchhiker, a smoldering Coletti warlord, and a troublesome witch.
Hijinks, Hitchhikers, and Mayhem is
part of the Coletti Warlords series and must be read following Hothar’s Folly
and the novellas between so the situation and the surrounding cast of
characters make sense. Also, to remind
about the author’s note in the blurb, this was original published in Pets in
Space 8 as the shortened version, Cosmic Capers.
Casey has the psychic ability to
telepath with other psychics and distinguish truth from lie including
intentions so she’s a great asset in the war to protect earth and the free
peoples of the galaxy. Her family have
always done their duty in the military and law enforcement so she’s been
brought up to be a tough fighter in her own right. Hothar might be one of the arrogant and
fierce Coletti alpha males, but he has great respect for Casey’s ability as a
worthy partner and I enjoyed seeing this in action.
Now, the hilarious inclusion to the
story is the narcissistic witch, Aphrodite, who lands all of them in the soup
ten times out of ten. She has the
ability to produce magic fire to kill off the mad scientist’s almost
indestructible experiments that are sicced on people, but has no desire to help
save lives or put herself in danger- she wants to be a dancer, thank you very
much. Usually, the alien pets are the
scene stealers in this series, but not this time. Casey had a run for her money with this
mayhem creator.
I always fly through these books and
end up impatiently waiting for the next release in this stellar and sexy sci-fi
romantic comedy series. Recommend for
the light and humorous sci-fi romance lovers out there.
Author Bio:
I was a 9-1-1 dispatcher for thirty-one years and to keep
insanity at bay, I took up writing. Not to worry. The insanity isn’t catching –
much. Other than the addiction to chocolate and the twitch in my left eye, I’m
good. I’ve had my weird but true stories published in newspapers and magazines.

Sophia’s Bio:
Sophia
is a quiet though curious gal who dabbles in cooking, book reviewing,
piano-playing, and gardening. Road trips and campouts, museums and monuments,
restaurants and theaters are her jam. Encouraged and supported by an incredible
man and loving family. A Northern Californian transplant to the Great Lakes
Region of the US. Lover of Jane Austen, Baseball, Cats, Scooby Doo, and
Chocolate.
As a lifelong reader, it was inevitable that
Sophia would discover book blogs and the joy of blog reviewing. Sophia is a
prolific reader and audiobook listener which allows her to experience so many
wonderful books, authors, and narrators. Few genres are outside her reading
tastes, but her true love is fiction particularly history, mystery, sci-fi, and
romance. Though, sorry, no horror or she will run like Shaggy and Scooby.
