Love the cover....I'm not usually reaching for a sci-fi book, but that isn't to say I don't get into them when I do. Aside from some minor grammatical errors, this book grabbed my attention fairly quickly and I am ready for book 2.I thought the author did a very good job pulling you into the story. Janel returns to Earth to attend her high school reunion. Unbeknownst to anyone there, she has spent the past 20 years traveling the universe. As far as everyone is concerned, that is not even possible and she cannot share that information with them. However, she does have an ulterior motive for going back and no, it isn't just to see the people who made high school unbearable for her. Janel has a problem and to eliminate that problem, she needs to get pregnant and only one man will do...the one guy she crushed on throughout high school...the thing is, he never, ever looked at her twice, was actually part of the in crowd that made her life miserable back in the day, and could potentially already have a wife and family. Of course things don't go as planned, and Jake and son end up on her ship on an adventure no one expected. We'll learn how Janel ended up in space, what she has been doing, and her intentions toward Jake. To top it all off, she is a smuggler helping kidnapped women return home and if she is caught, she faces the death penalty...There were times when I did want to smack Jake, but then again, Janel wasn't quite so innocent either....I waffled between understanding his view point, but also hers. Can she ask the man she has always loved to stay with her? Can she give it all up and return home? Will she be caught?And then the ending...on the one hand, I couldn't believe it...and yet, it made sense too and answered some of those questions...
