To save Earth, she needed a GUARDIAN ALIEN
Jana has one goal: steer clear of scandal while outrageously false accusations pile up against her famous political family. But when her childhood “imaginary friend” Cavin shows up—all grown up—dressed in armor and warning of an imminent alien invasion, she has no choice but to take him to her leader.
Cavin has never forgotten the girl he met during … he met during his visit to Earth, the girl who didn’t believe he was real. And now, as a decorated space marine, he’ll risk his future to save her. That means staying one step ahead of government agents, Jana’s suspicious grandpa, and the galaxy’s most feared assassin—all while keeping her political reputation squeaky clean. If everything goes as planned, they’ll save the world—and he’ll also capture his favorite Earthling’s heart.

This is the Trilogy review this book is included in…Sort of like 3 prequels to this authors world. I had read Warleader several months ago, and definitely felt I was missing a bit of something, but not enough to detract from that story. I was actually very nice learning how Earth saved the Coalition and became part of it. Well written, well developed characters and world. i am now looking forward to reading Warleader again and the next in that series.
Read via Kindle Unlimited but feel it well worth your time and $$.
Loved Jana and Cavin. Great story and series

Prime-Major Cavin Caydinn never forgot the quite little girl with the joyful laugh who he have his first kiss to. She was a bright light in his lonely childhood. Traveling from world to world with his widower Scientist father.
Things have come full circle. His Jana’s world is in danger from his people. Cavin is determined to save her and her people.

Cavin is going pull a Hail Mary bluff, in hopes of buying some time, and give Earth a fighting chance against his people. Along the way Cavin is going to claim the woman who stole his heart as a child.
A fun fast paced, and steamy military, political, alien invasion romance.
Loved this revised edition of Cavin and Jana’s story, formerly titled Your Planet or Mine, which I read years ago. No drastic changes to the story line. Worth buying again for me
I was unsure of the premise of this book and thought, why not, give it a shot. Interesting plotline and well written. Not my usual cup of tea, and well done.

I read book 2 before this one and I think that I liked that one better. This one though has a sweet back story and it had a lot of suspense but it just did not get me where the other books did. It has great world building and good character relations but I felt that some of the issues were drawn out almost to exhaustion but it had a good premise and it made me feel like it will only get better.

Ok it took me a bit to realise this was a revised version of Your Planet or Mine? but it’s been sometime since I read the original series and I enjoyed it as much now as I did then.
The first book in the OtherWorldly Men series a well written sci-fi romance story that kept me turning pages. I want to read the next book. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I loved the first version of this book, but the second version is even better!
As a child who didn’t speak very much, Jana had an imaginary friend. Except that he really wasn’t imaginary- Cavin was an alien boy who had accompanied his scientist father to Earth. When Cavin returns as a young man, he warns of an invasion from his own planet and will sacrifice everything in his life to save Jana and Earth. But will his plan work? Or will the cyborg sent to kill him be successful?

Childhood sweethearts … in space!
Brief synopsis: Jana, an Earthling, and Cavin, a boy from outer space, meet as children when Cavin and his father spend some time on Earth collecting data for their government. After twenty-some years, Cavin returns to Earth, to warn Jana that the Empire is planning to invade Earth and take it over. He has a plan to help the people of Earth repel this first strike. But first, he must get the government of Earth to believe that he is what he says he is. He also wants to see Jana again, for he has never forgotten her. Jana, too, remembers Cavin as her best friend, and thinks of him often as an adult. Jana has become a state senator, following in her father’s and grandfather’s footsteps, and she helps Cavin negotiate the labyrinth of government in order to save Earth.
I read this book when it first came out in 2006, and liked it. I am pleased to say that I enjoyed this new, revised version even more. Though in most ways this has the same plot as the previous edition, the story has been both amplified with more detail and shortened with some extraneous material removed. This makes the story slightly shorter, but a better read. The love story does not overshadow the suspense of trying to beat the clock and the deadline for saving Earth. However, there are a few steamy romance scenes in between the action. I would recommend this book for those who enjoy light SF romance.

Note: The author has updated and rewritten her 2006 book entitled “Your Planet or Mine?” This book is also awesome. Enjoy!
While the alien Cavin accompanies his father to Earth to determine colonization possibilities, he interacts with an Earth girl, Jana, and becomes her “imaginary friend”. He had to return home to his planet, but the two never forgot each other. Now, 23 years later, Prime-Major Cavin Caydinn is back to warn his childhood friend of an invasion of Earth. Will Cavin and Jana be able to do anything about this situation? And will their feelings morph into something that was meant to be and possibly lead to a HEA?
I thoroughly enjoyed this fast-paced, thrilling adventure to save Earth while avoiding an assassin and all the other complications of getting into Area 51 as part of Cavin’s plan. Jump in on this first book to prepare yourself!
This is an amazing sci-fi romance! Simply loved it! It is super fun to read and romantic, sweet and full of adventure…

Cavin is visiting Earth on an exploratory trip with his father. He encounters a native child, Jana, and befriends her. Jana enjoys the time with her new friend, and questions why no one else can see him. She despairs when she does not see Cavin again.
Prime-Major Cavin Caydinn has returned to Earth to warn his childhood friend Jana of the coming invasion of the Coalition.
Cavin and Jana’s journey to save the Earth is a thrill ride, great introduction to this series. This story is engaging and fast paced. I loved all the characters.
Looking forward to the next tale.
A classic reimagined is still a classic
Susan Grant does not disappoint. In the classic sci fi romance style of Linnea Sinclair and Gina Koch, this novel brings us a truly splendid story of girl meets alien boy, and together they save the world. Action-packed and exciting, with great side characters and an fast-paced story line. Ten out of ten, would recommend.
Cavin Caydinn, Prime-Major of the Coalition Space Force, survives an ambush while travelling to Earth to warn his childhood friend Jana of an impending invasion. It’s been 23 years since Cavin has seen Jana … will Jana remember Cavin? Will Jana believe Cavin? And more importantly, will Cavin be able to stop the invasion of Earth?
Guardian Alien is an action-packed, suspenseful and sweet story that you won’t be able to put down. I can’t wait to read Royal Recruit, Book 2 of the OtherWorldly Men series!
The story line was good, the character work was great, and the book had a smooth flow to it. This was a quick, fun read which entertained from beginning to end. I look forward to the next one.
