There used to be a thread for books that remind you of Roswell or books you'd like if you like Roswell.
I just finished reading one that is VERY similar.
This is called "The Silver Spoon" by Stacey Klemstein.
Futuristic / Science Fiction with romantic elements is very hard to come by today. Those that are coming out are mostly from small publishers. This book is put out by Runestone Publishing.
Plot Summary:
Two years ago aliens made their presence known when they stepped in and disarmed nuclear missiles as they were in the air. Having saved the planet, the governments have given The Observers free reign to watch humans in their natural habitat.
However, not everyone is happy about The Observers appearance. Since the day they arrived, Zara Mitchell has been having vivid nightmares that are alien related. Of course, since she lives in a small town, everyone is convinced Zara is now crazy. She puts up with the gossip, running her diner "The Silver Spoon", until one day the sheriff comes in with an Observer in tow.
His name is Caelan and he ends up saving her life...twice. Turns out another Observer named Nevan is out to kill her for unknown reasons and Caelan insists she disappear with him for protection. She goes with him and meets the other three members of his "unit", and adventure ensues.
The Observers function in units of four, two are male and two are female. They can read other's thoughts; fire blasts from their hands; manipulate objects (like changing dollar bills to one-hundred dollar bills); make people see things; heal at a rapid rate, etc.
Caelan is the "Max" character, very handsome and caring. Asha is his partner and she is very Tess like (mean spirited, nasty personality). Thane is very much like Michael; short tempered, not very talkative, kinda grumpy. Finally Namere is Thane's partner; she is standoff-ish but kind once she gets to know you.
Zara is definitely Liz's alter-ego. The attraction between her and Caelan is immediate and their "cumulation" is intense.
By the end of the book, we find out what The Observers agenda is, why Nevan is after Zara, and the truth behind the functioning "units".
It's a pretty good book. Roswell lovers would love it.
