Virtually Yours by Crystal Inman

Sarah Sharpe leads a normal life. When she volunteers for a study at the local college, all that changes. She is given special glasses which enable her to enter the scene of her choice in a Virtual World.

Exploring the Virtual World is great. But there’s a catch. A striking, male catch. Blake Canfield. He assures Sarah he’s self-aware and explains he will be her guide.

Sarah is unsure at first, but she quickly grows to enjoy his company. Too much. She soon finds herself falling for essentially a figment of her imagination. How perfect can one relationship be? No strings. Low-maintenance.

But it’s not perfect. It’s the hardest relationship Sarah’s ever been in. Because when she turns the glasses back into the college in three months, Blake will be gone. Forever. And so will Sarah’s heart.

Review of Virtually Yours:

Escapism with a hint of outstanding pleasure, Virtual Reality is a story that will seize the imagination of the reader with a storyline that comes straight from science fiction but will leave them satisfied in every way.

To help her niece and nephew buy a Christmas present for her sister, Sarah Sharp decides to take part in a study at a Research Center. When she is chosen to be in the test she learns that she will be experimenting a virtual reality program and that is when the fun begins in the shape of Blake Canfield. Sarah thinks that Blake is merely a guide in the program but after spending so much time with Blake she begins to fall in love with him. Only all is not what it seems because Blake is as real as she is. What will happen if and when Sarah discovers that Blake is not only a virtual person but also real?

What is virtual reality? Is it filled with people that are just characters or are they real? For Sarah trying to discern between the two was hard but in the end love found the way for both her and Blake. Not to mention that along the way they were helped by the people that loved and cared for them. This story was a great read and I loved every minute of it. To find the man of your dreams inside a program that was supposed to offer fantasies is not something that would happen everyday and in the real world would never occur. Fantasy or not this story definitely captures the imagination and lets it soar into a world of make believe. Ms. Inman has written a wonderful story that is a must read from me and I will be certainly singing its’ praises to everyone I know.

    This sounds excellent! I will have to check it out when it becomes available. I like romance stories, but so often they all fit the same mold. This sounds reallly interesting.

    This is indeed a well written promotional review. It got me to click the link. Not in the mood for buying any books today, but if I were, I very well might buy this one. Well done Danna!

    I do like the psychological aspect of her turmoil when the relationship must end. I am interested to see how to bring the story to climax and finish it up. What an interesting plot.

    Science fiction, science fantasy, virtual reality, holographs, aka Star Trek...all things of the future that are rooted in the present... Like Johnny Mneumonic and several other 'high tech' films that challenge the imagination.

    The world of fiction is neverending, a special thank you to Dana Hobart for her efforts!

    amicus...
