Galaxy Circus
Lila is nobody special. She didn’t have a bad childhood growing up in foster homes, there was just nothing particularly
good about it either. You could say Lila is a little lost. Her job is boring and repetitive, she only has one friend and there is no significant partner in her life. In fact her romance novels and her BOB is the most actions she’s seen in ages.
Until now.
Lila just received a letter from a lawyer informing her of a surprise inheritance and when she agrees to the terms of the will, Lila’s life becomes out of this world.
Her romance novels don’t seem so far-fetched now and you could say she’s in for the ride of her life.
​
Apprentice is the first novel in the Galaxy Circus series. It is a reverse Harem novel and some situations may not be suitable for people under 18.
If you had asked me two years ago where I would be, living on a space ship on the dark side of the moon, learning how to run an alien circus was not in the top one hundred. It wasn’t even in the top one million.
​
If you had told me that this was going to happen and that I was going to be living with a whole plethora of sexy aliens and getting to know my three paternal grandfathers, I would have asked what weed you were smoking, and where I could get some from.
​
If you had said that my stash of tentacle porn erotic novels may be a good precursor for my future sex life I would have asked you which loony bin you had escaped from.
​
Yet here I am and all of the above has occurred Now I think I’m either committed to a looney bin and suffering a psychotic break myself or my life really is out of this world.
What happens to Susie and Mark when their car breaks down an hour out of Vegas after leaving Lila?
​
Calling Lila to ask for help, her boyfriend Xavier answers the phone and gives them directions to his friend's place. Not far away from where they broke down, they can stay the night until a tow truck can come out and pick up their car the following morning. Strangely enough, his friend lives in the weird gothic place they had noticed on their drive to Vegas.
​
The situation gets worse as a freak rainstorm comes out of nowhere and they are soaked to the bone by the time they knock on the door of the Pleasure Inn.
​
What transcribes next, as they are welcomed into the house by the beguiling and mysterious Madame Aura Gasm, can only be described as A Night Most Wicked
Blood, sex, and magic… Isn’t there a song that goes something like that? Or maybe that's just what you get in a typical afternoon spent with a Vilaxian.
​
Throw in a few loving mates, one that just so happens to have tentacles, a cyborg doctor with mad sex skills, along with a warlock hell-bent on protecting me. and you have a running episode of “Life with Lila.”
​
With alien detainees, Celestian healers, and a mate challenge on the horizon it's going to get even crazier as I navigate my new life in the Galaxy Circus.
​
I've said it before, but it really is out of this world.
This is it! Go time. No longer can I stick my head in the sand or pretend that my kraken honey hasn’t knocked me up.
​
"What do you mean, Lila?" I hear you ask. Well, it means I’m screwed. And not in the good way.
​
After the lightning attack on Iceen triggered my latent Skarrian abilities, they kicked into gear big time. Not only am I a lightning cat whisperer, but I’m also a mimic.
​
I just became the perfect compatible option for any species in the galaxy. Which is not exactly an appealing thought. If I don’t get control of my abilities, it could be dangerous not only for me but for my little ones too.
So we're headed home to Skarr where I can give birth and get a handle on my mimic abilities before I splice myself into a dozen different species and get stuck that way.
​
Never a dull moment in the Galaxy Circus that’s for sure.
Hi, my name's Lila and I’m an alien. I have two husbands and two fiancés. I also won two more mates in a kickass battle for supremacy, and I may have been seduced and had a crazy, sexy swim with a merman when he sang to me. Oh, and did I mention I have just hatched three beautiful but slippery kraken babies?
​
And that was just in the first month with the Galaxy Circus. That’s enough craziness for one lifetime, right?
​
Wrong!
​
I still have to go to a desert planet to find a special flower to save my grandpa, track down one of the last remaining mimics so I can get a handle on my powers, and stay out of the way of some shady organisation that wants the orb we protect.
​
And we need to do all of that while still touring the galaxy and entertaining the masses. Nobody ever said life in the Galaxy Circus would be boring but some days I wish it was.
I keep waiting for things to settle down, but my to-do list just keeps getting longer and longer.
I’ve got a grandma to rescue from a planet infested with carnivorous flora and fauna, a Warlock whom I desperately want to bond with, and a tribunal with the Vilaxian clan to deal with. And that’s just to start with.
But the Aquilians, damn cans of tuna that they are, have waylaid us, and we need to take precious time that we don’t have to waste, seeing what they want.
That’s on top of trying to make sure my three children and six mates, including my pregnant omega, are all equally loved and cherished and reassured of their place in my life.
Besides doing all that I need to try and figure out who this mysterious syndicate is that is reportedly after the orb that the Adams family has long guarded, and I’m plain exhausted.
What does a girl need to do to get a few relaxing days in the sun on a tropical planet with someone to rub her feet?
It’s go day! Time for Lila to rescue her grandmother from a planet that is so inhospitable no one goes there. No one but the hard-as-nails Halla harvesters, but it turns out they have a secret weapon. And it’s that secret weapon that Lila needs to convince to help them.
She will do whatever takes to convince him to help, but no matter if she can convince him or not they’re rescuing her grandmother and reuniting her with her grandpas. Then it’s time to get the circus back on track. With two of her mates expecting, Lila’s family is expanding much quicker than she thought, and they need to establish a calmer more controlled environment to raise all the babies in.
But before they can return to Earth and get the tour back on track, they need to attend Vilax and dissolve Saxon’s clan. Xavier has also been remanded to appear on Westalin to answer for the death of his harem members. Not to mention there are acts to hire and performers to reassure. Then there is also the problem of Agent Smith on Earth and the bombshell the Brannock dropped.
Lila is exhausted and frazzled and that’s not even worrying about the Una’s power orb and the people that are after that. She wants to go undercover as a Madovian snake woman, but will her mates draw the line? Will all of Lila’s relationships survive all the dramas or will cracks form in her perfect little life? Only time will tell.
The mission to Halla was a success, though the identity of the woman in the stasis box still remains a mystery. Hopefully she will wake up and shed some light on the situation.
In the meantime the Galaxy ship has set course for Fluxx and their next mission is to rescue Silac’s family from the Basilisk syndicate and hopefully reanimate his father. This will make his arranged marriage null and void, making way for Lila and Silac to explore their relationship.
Then the plan is to return to Earth and relieve Agent Smith of his command, rescue Bannock’s daughter and reconvene the circus tour.
But before this can happened, that they need to attend Vilax and dissolve Saxon’s clan. Xavier has also been remanded to appear on Westalin to answer for the death of his harem members. Not to mention there are acts to hire and performers to reassure and Nikos’ impending delivery.
Lila needs a moment to breathe, but that’s not going to happen anytime soon so the best she can do is hold on and enjoy the ride because it’s not stopping any time soon.
Grandma is awake and we now know the truth of everything, and whoa is it mind-blowing!
​We have intercepted a communication by the syndicate and know that a meeting is occurring on Earth. All players will be in the same place at the same time. We hope to round them all up and take care of that niggling problem once and for all.
​As for the Orb, we now know its origins and understand how to deal with it. This will free up my family to just run a circus and enjoy being together.
​And there's the matter of slimy Agent Smith. He needs to pay for his treatment of Brannock's daughter, Chloe, and the other captive aliens that have been in his control for many years. I'm not sure deep space is even deep enough to bury him in. But I can guarantee you, I'm going to enjoy every single second of it.
​There's light at the end of the proverbial tunnel and hopefully, it's calm seas and smooth sailing, or whatever the space equivalent is, from now on.
