"Brought together by a UFO, this romcom delivers out-of-this-world enjoyment."
Influencer El Martin has the picture perfect life, but the photos only tell part of the story and the rigid form of sponsorship deals and photoshop is starting to chafe. While on her way back from a photo opportunity, she’s unexpectedly chased by an unidentified, flying, thing. In one live video, her brand is in question and she’s put onto the radar of a secretive, if a little outdated, government agency Private Intelligence Sector. Agent Carter Brody is trying his hardest to follow in his father’s footsteps, but is caught behind a desk constantly troubleshooting the office’s outdated equipment. El’s video bears remarkable similarity to what he saw one tragic evening when he was a child. And just like that an influencer and a Man In Black are on the trail of a mystery.
Love at First Sighting is a fun romcom with an added mystery twist. It’s sexy and delivers on spice for romance fans but also takes the time to be sweet as our main characters learn the importance of having the confidence to be yourself. Through the dual perspective narrative we see Carter and El’s attraction develop; the reader having access to both perspectives creating a simmering air of anticipation. Mallory Marlowe successfully juggles mystery, action and romance to deliver an entertaining, multifaceted read.

A chance at love might not be out of this world in this astronomically charming romantic comedy from the USA Today bestselling author of Love and Other Conspiracies.
Los Angeles social media influencer El Martin seems to have a picture-perfect life. But what El wants more than anything is to find something real to make her heart race in a way it hasn't in years. She doesn't expect that feeling to come from capturing footage of an unidentified flying . . . thing, much less from the charming Man in Black who keeps following her around.
Agent Carter Brody is trying his best to keep the Private Intelligence Sector afloat by dragging their hopelessly out-of-date office into this century, even though what he really wants to do is follow in his father's footsteps by identifying and hiding extraterrestrial sightings. He gets his chance after being assigned to El's case and is stopped in his tracks not only by her ingenuity and confidence but also by an unnerving coincidence-her sighting looks eerily like what Carter himself saw right before a family tragedy.
The deeper El and Carter fall into the mystery, the harder it is for them to ignore their growing chemistry as their own alien feelings become dangerously terrestrial.
