Not typically a fan of sci-fi, I was skeptical when picking this book up. I have read All In The Name Of Love by Margaret Taylor and adored it, so this had to at least be decent, right? From the first chapter I was captivated and thrown into a much larger world than the one I once knew. Janel Canton had a very rough past, but from it has grown into a strong and independent woman who doesn't play any games. She is the Star Captain of her own ship, the White Fang, and fights every day to keep her job- and herself- safe. Sherriff Jake Reeves once picked on Janel in high school to stay in the comfortable position of popularity heaven. Little did he know that frumpy, acne covered, shy girl would show up mysteriously years later for their high school reunion looking like a whole new person. Now she is mouth wateringly gorgeous and isn't afraid to put a man in his place. The tension between them is thick, not only from only grudges but new attractions as fate puts a major tailspin on their lives. Janel needs him to get out of a marriage to an alien; he needs her with a pounding force he cannot explain.I could spend hours going on and on about this book. It was short; read fast with a smooth story line and well written descriptive scenes. The characters were wonderful, witty, and charming, but had an edge to them that you can relate to. Who hasn't been bullied at some point in high school? And who hasn't lusted after someone who seems to have no interest back? This book was action packed, filled with twists, and carefully crafted to draw out your emotions. The romance was so sweet, and yet hot at the same time, I think my heart melted, haha.Paying $2.99 on 150 pages would normally turn my stomach, but this woman is a truly amazing author and I would gladly do it again any day of the week!
