4.75 out of 5 starsLet me start off saying this book was really good! It reminded me of a simpler version of the League series by Sherrilyn Kenyon, with m/m romance instead.Torin is a sexy, brooding Captain of a pirating ship in space. Rain is a sexy, funny, pilot with a smart mouth and a fear of being 'In-Between'. The story starts off with Torin intending on kicking Rain off the Annie as soon as he can figure out how/when/who to pilot his ship. Rain sets about convincing Torin that he wants to keep Rain with him.The dialogue is fun, the sex between Torin and Rain is HOT, HOT, HOT, but the relationship that developed between them is what kept me reading. Well, that and I do enjoy a good space opera. Torin and Rain just work as a couple, almost from the first moment they talk on the ship. You can see there is a connection that's not just sexual, although that is there, as well.Torin's crew, Cookie and Jeret, are also a great fit into the story line. Jeret is a like the little brother that won't go away. He's always setting out to 'annoy' Torin, who turns around and fires him multiple times in a day. Cookie, seems like he'd be the crusty, cranky old veteran but he's Torin's right hand and knows what's going on and what's good for the captain and his ship.This book was well paced, definitely well-written, and the characters were fully flushed out. I'd have liked a little more back story, or maybe even another book on the further adventures of Torin and Rain. While this was the first book I'd read from Fae Sutherland, it definitely won't be the last! I look forward to reading her backlist and any new books she'll write.~ARC received from Carina Press via NetGalley~
