Teaser:
"From zero to naked at warp speed…
Rini Campell’s one shot at keeping her field agent position with the United Galaxies’ repo department means bringing in the spaceship Liberty. Piece of cake. Except she didn’t count on the pilot still being on board. Or being buck naked.
Lucus Granger doesn’t have time to deal with a pain-in-the-ass repo agent. Not when he’s minutes away from dropping off a cargo haul for the psychotic alien dictator of Aquatica. Though he figures it’s just about the stupidest bargain he’s ever made, he allows Rini to tag along for the flight.
Big mistake.
Stranded in enemy territory, they find themselves fighting a battle on two fronts. Against a creepy dictator who’d as soon drown them as look at them. And against a blazing attraction hotter than the godforsaken planet itself. For these two wary hearts, love could bloom in the desert…if it doesn’t kill them first."
Review:
I adored this book. The voice is strong and it reminded me immediately of Firefly. I've read a lot of books this year and this one is one of the few keepers that I intend to reread. I will buy any other story in this universe because it was so captivating for me.
Despite what the teaser says, there's not much nakedness. LOL. And it's more toward the sweet than the erotic, though the sex is not behind closed doors. There's plot, wit, banter, action, a strong heroine, a dashing and interesting hero, and a bad guy who's not horrible, but bad enough.
The story is well written and caught me from page one. The only time the really strong voice slipped for me was during the sex, but that may be just me. All in all, for me this story Rocked with a capital R.
The bad? Perhaps a few moments of trying too hard to be funny, and Rini's parents were a bit too predictable or overused to me, but the rest of the story is so good in my opinion that I can overlook that. The editing was good too.
