EXCITING UPDATE ABOUT RHEA’S CONUNDRUM!!!
I’m so proud of Rhea! Her story received a 5-star review from Readers’ Favorite! Click the link to read the full review, but here are some highlights!
“A captivating love story set in space, Rhea’s Conundrum hooks you in from the first page and refuses to release you until the last page. Candace Colt infuses a lot of heart, romance, and magic in this tale, tinged with a healthy dose of science fiction elements. A character-driven drama at its core, Rhea’s Conundrum highlights the bond between different living beings, connected by shared innate feelings of love, doubt, fear, and survival. Rhea and C’tloc’s relationship development feels genuine, and as a reader, you will find it easy to root for them. I also loved the distinct personalities of Alika and Nikkto. Alika is the perfect embodiment of a sassy cat, while Nikkto is simply adorable. Overall, I really enjoyed the book and heartily recommend it to romance readers.“

FIRST IN SERIES: RHEA’S CONUNDRUM is a whimsical cosmic joyride! A quirky witch’s meditation session goes haywire and she ends up on a spaceship with a hunky alien.
Another meditation session gone awry!
The first thing Rhea Tanner wanted was to get back home to Baga Shores, Florida. The last thing was to fall in love with the spaceship’s uniquely handsome alien captain.
RHEA’S CONDUNDRUM first appeared in PETS IN SPACE – 7 a limited-edition charity anthology benefiting HERO DOGS and is now a stand-alone book in the Baga Shores Romance series.
Eccentric witch Rhea Tanner only dreamed of the stars. So how did she and her snarky cat Alika end up in a junk-picker spaceship with sexy alien captain C’tloc?
Rhea Tanner‘s mystical transport gift means she can give into her wanderlust and see the wonders of the world, both past and present. Now that her grown-up kids are on their own, she’s tempted to take one last meditation escapade. Then she plans to settle down and help her daughter raise her precocious seven-year-old, an emerging wizard.
But this time, things went off the rails, or should we say, into space!
When Rhea opens her eyes, she discovers she’s definitely not in Kansas anymore. Or Florida. She’s not even on Earth.
Rhea and her snarky familiar, a cat named Alika, discover they are in the cargo hold of a junk-picker alien spaceship.
With only his Umilin pet for company, widowed C’tloc has traveled the stars collecting discarded tech trash he can resell on other planets. He’ll soon retire to the planet where his children live. But on his latest stop, everything starts to go wrong.
C’tloc’s ship is dying. And now he has two otherworldly stowaways.
When her verbose cat and a silent alien that looks like a tiny, winged goat can communicate with each other, Rhea’s soon intrigued by the ship’s captain, who is both sweet and sexy. C’tloc is stunned to feel the mating call with the strange Rhea but is determined not to tie himself to her. He has bigger problems…a dying ship.
Turns out, Rhea’s magical amethyst pendant is her only way back to Earth, but she finds out it can also save gentle C’tloc’s ship from certain destruction.
Now, Rhea faces an impossible choice.
Can she take a chance on a fantastical adventure with the alien she’s fallen for, in exchange for never seeing Earth or her family again?

A second chance at love…
Rhea Tanner‘s midlife crisis and a wayward spell sent her on an adventure that was literally out of this world. Roaming the galaxy in an old spacecraft with her cat, Alika, she sacrifices her only means home to save an alien captain and his dying ship.
The last thing she expected was to fall in love with the handsome Akerlon captain.
Widower, C’tloc, wasn’t always the captain of a solitary space junk picker. He was once a respected and wealthy leader on Akerlon in the Segarian galaxy. He lost everything when his planet was taken over. Returning from a routine run, he collects an unusual payload—Rhea, the strangely beautiful H’taerling who renews the joy in his heart that he thought was lost.
Neither C’tloc nor Rhea imagined they would find a second chance for love. Despite their differences, they are determined to make this relationship work. The family homecoming goes well, until C’tloc and Rhea declare their wish to spend the rest of their days together.
Can Rhea’s whimsical charm overcome his family’s suspicions, or will their love be lost in the stars in this magical addition to the Baga Shores series?
