A sweet romance set up in a near future world where genetically altered humans are kept by the government in a nursery, their talents exploited for political gain. Wills and Belinda are two such g-altered children that failed the grade and left the nursery at seven when their talents weren’t realized. Late developers, they now live their lives avoiding being detected by the government. A gentle romance with a well thought out interesting world.
This is a sweet romance with a great storyline and wonderful characters.
William and Belinda grew up in a facility they called “the nursery” that made special “g-altered” people for their own uses. These two were lucky enough to escape the life that would have been planned for them.
Years later Wills finds Belinda on his search to help give a little more freedom to another “g-altered” person that made it out of the nursery. Once he talks to Belinda he realizes he can’t just walk away from her, he wants more.
These two are perfect together and over time while working together and going on outings they both realize how much they mean to each other.
I highly recommend!!
Catching Love when it Falls by Deryn Pittar is the first book in the Future Movers series and also my first read by this author.
Any story that starts with children getting talents before they turn seven has to be read. A very intriguing and unique storyline that I couldn’t put down.
William Corban was genetically altered before he was even born, along with other children to serve their country as part of the Defense Department. He wants to escape, so keeps his talent hidden from the Nursery where he is raised so he can be adopted at 7. Now, years later he wants to help others that managed to escape, stay hidden forever. With the help of Belinda Barrington, another g-altered child from the Nursery, will they be able to help keep these talented souls off the radar. Will the relationship that starts developing between the two get in the way of their goal?
After the ending of this part, I can’t wait to read Love’s Bright Star to see where the story goes from here.
Very interesting read. Wills and Belinda are unique. Their quirks make them fit perfectly together. I’m looking forward to where this series goes next.
“I’m a bit concerned I could become very fond of you.”
“Would that be a bad thing?”
“Probably not.”
“Then I might chance a kiss later on.”
What an interesting story line!! It’s part sci-fi, part romance, part thriller, and entirely wonderful!!
William “Wills” Corban was raised in The Nursery, along with other genetically altered children. Exhibiting no special “talents” at age seven, he is adopted out to the “norms”to live his life. They never knew the secret he held. Now older, and a tech whiz, he is tracking down others who were adopted and offering freedom from being monitored. He’d help if they wanted, then part ways. But, she is different. From their first meeting he knows she belongs to him. Can he convince her that he’s right? Will being together put them both in danger? And when the impossible occurs, will they ever be safe again?
Belinda Barrington lucked out. She was adopted from the Nursery by amazing parents and is happy living her quiet life. The Wills shows up and sets her world upside down. She wasn’t looking for help, let alone love. But, while her mind tells her that getting involved with him would be a huge mistake, he heart is telling her the complete opposite. How long can she fight it? When what she was told could never happen, happens, will they all have a target on their backs? What if the Defence Department discovers their secrets?
This was such an intriguing story! I can’t wait to see where this goes and what happens with Wills and Belinda and what challenges they will face!! I’m so glad to hear that the next four books will be released in quick succession. I’m not sure I’d be patient enough to wait too long for the rest of their story!!
