Blurb: She’s everything he ever dreamed of…

Dr. Avar Elsier has spent the past ten years developing the ideal human-like android for his company. In his spare time, he’s created the perfect persona for his dream woman that only needs the right body to make her real.

Unfortunately, such a body costs more than he possesses. When an emergency forces him to insert his “woman” into a unit designed for a high-paying customer, he falls in love and cannot bear to let her go.

Will he find a way to make their love last and escape from Mars before his secret is discovered or worse, the woman he loves is lost forever?

Lara loves to weave interesting true historical tidbits into her fiction which invite the reader to explore further after the novel is finished.
Currently docked in Norfolk, Virginia (until the wind changes) Lara enjoys living on her sailboat and spends time reading, of course writing, indulging a variety of artistic endeavors, cooking and sailing with her husband, Joe and their Yorkie, Rio.

REVIEW: 

Avar is a scientist, living on Mars, perfecting the perfect dream girl personality for an android. In the beginning I found this story offensive since the Sexy Girlfriend persona that Avar created is such a bimbo. Una is basically a blow up doll that walks and talks. I preferred Una's University Professor persona and so does Avar. But Avar's dream girl persona for Una is Lily, a sentient computer program. An interesting Weird Science meets Pygmalion story. 4 stars.
