I am in trouble now... first it was Travis Luedke and his amazingly hot vampires, now it's Patricia A. Knight and her amazingly hot planet... Living outside of my comfort zone is becoming a bit of a habit and I am learning to love it! Hers To Choose is the follow up to Hers To Command and was simply amazing! My only concern was that I could only give it five stars. Now, this has been a dilemma of mine regarding certain vampires from past books I have read, but I never thought that I could fall in love with a planet that requires sex to survive... yes, the planet... I love this planet.But more than the planet, I love the journey on its surface. Sophi is requested to join her brother tearing her from the family that has helped to heal years of pain she experienced when she was being held captive. But more than that, she has been requested to attempt to get to know Eric. The two of them are bound together by the forces of Verdantia and will help to make the planet stronger. Eric is the Commander of the Queens guard and has been sent to bring Sophi back to Doral, her brother. But her brother has one request, along the journey, she must attempt to get to know Eric and see if true compatibility is there. If it is, Sophi is to consider him to marry to create a stronger force for the planet. If it is not there, that will be the end of the discussion. She will not be forced to marry him the way so many people on the planet have been forced to do in the past.What Eric isn't ready to face on the journey back is the stubborn and strong-willed Sophi. She is now a Flight Leader and has her own team of warriors to work with, all skilled and trained, but will it be enough to get Sophi and Eric home?Sophi is drawn to Eric. He is so strikingly handsome but the years of being a prisoner have left her heart scarred and she is not sure she can truly find happiness with any man. Eric knows that Sophi is beautiful and he is determined to show her exactly how he feels, but will there be enough time for them?This journey, from the village where Sophi has lived for the past four years, is rough and not without problems. Evil forces are trying to kidnap her so they can use her as a bargaining tool to gain their power back.This book kept me on the edge of my seat and the passion between Sophi and Eric was so undeniable and so hot that I could not put the book down. But then there were the battles and the evil forces and creatures... ugh! I am not sure I could have survived much more drama! Hers To Choose was captivating and full of passion, action and drama.I actually went back and read it twice before I could sit down to write a review. Yes, it was that good! I wanted to capture in my mind every nuance of this story. I did not want to part with Eric or Sophi! I am now anxiously awaiting the third book in the Verdantia series, Hers to Cherish. I just want more of this planet and the people that live on it.*I received a complimentary copy of Hers To Choose in exchange for an honest review*
