Review: Nice Romance and Intrigue

The author builds a nice setting and interesting characters. The plot device to start it all was pretty racey and you have to just roll with it because it is otherwise psychologically flawed. So no it is not your typical space opera rather its a mystery, adventure with good sex scenes. It is a fast read and yes I enjoyed it. No it's not a military conflict nor alien invasion, it is more romance in space. We have two humanoid races that are in an unstable peace.Captain Lira Jannholm meets her opposite--Stacian starship commander Rast Drenthan during a dangerous confrontation over a resource-rich planet. Lira finds herself disgraced and discharged from duty through her contact with Rast and that leads to their adventure. No spoilers. But not a book for everyone. The characters are not complex and the dialogue does not build deep feeling for our two main characters. It was like watching a "chick flick", you have to be in the mood.
