Review: Fun Scifi Romp

I like a tale with a solid plot, good worldbuilding, and characters that are well developed, and this book has all of that. There is sex, and sexual tension, but they take a backseat to the action. It's Science Fiction Romance, with the emphasis on SF rather than the love story. Oh, there is plenty of love here -- the relationship of hero and heroine are foremost -- but the setting is vital, rather than an afterthought. That was a refreshing change. I love good SciFi.The concept of space travel, duties aboard ship, colonization, and galaxy-wide war are touched on. There is a substantial impression of a bigger universe, with levels of politics, military involvement, technology, and more. I was impressed with how well thought out the world was. I got the impression there were other books about the hero's brothers, and will be checking to see. It has a satisfying ending, and enough action to keep me turning the pages. I'd enjoy reading more by this author.
