4 1/2 Stars. Hers to Choose is a wonderful follow-up of Hers to Command and an absolute pleasure to read. I loved Sophi, loved her strength and vulnerability, loved her ability to survive and re-build herself without becoming hard or brittle, but it is Eric who totally enamored me. What a beautiful, beautiful man Ms Knight created!! Nobel but down-to-earth, arrogant yet humble in all the right areas. For me, he brought Aragorn to mind, and as I have been in love with Aragorn for most of my life, please, Ms Knight, accept this comparison as a highest of compliments. The book have a feel of and reads more like a fantasy then a sci-fi, the passion between the characters is scorching, but at the same time there is a playfulness in it that is absolutely charming and on many occasions had me laughing out loud. The loss of the half star is due to the secondary characters, particularly the villagers - I found them sliding a bit too much in to medieval subservient stereotypes. I am unashamedly hooked. Ms Knight, more, pretty please!!
