I have recently read a few sci-fi romance type books, but this my was first S.E. Smith book. I must say that I throughly enjoyed it - it was one that I had a hard time putting down until I finished. The characters were very well-developed - main as well as secondary. Each of the sisters had a distinct personality, as did the 3 main warriors. There was a lot of action, maybe a bit more violence than I care for, romance, and over-protective yet caring male aliens! I really liked how the author made Jesse very strong and capable and didn't resort to reducing her to a simpering pile of mush just because the hero was so sexually attractive. Jesse and her sisters didn't sit back and wait for the men - they took it upon themselves to assist in a rescue mission.  Jesse could have been a cold, hard person due to her life experiences, but she cared about others and eventually won the respect of the warriors on this ship. Strong female leads are what draw me to a story and this one did just that. I am looking forward to Dagger and Jordan's story and hope they are included in the next installment. Great new series!
