Blue Galaxy is an exciting space adventure heated with romance and danger. Captain Javan Rhodes has a hard life; then he's offered a job that could turn things in a new direction for him. He takes on the dangerous Sola, a beautiful aristocratic woman, destined to marry an unknown warlord. As a space bride, she must make a political alliance.Right away, Javan is taken with Sola. Javan is romantic, charming, and quite the likeable guy. Sola falls into his arms, and things really heat up. She's a bit of a mystery. What are her true motives? Sometimes she seems sincere, but sometimes, things go awry. Tension is created. Will the good-hearted Javan end up happy or devastated? After all, there is no real way for him to win. He must do his duty and deliver Sola, or the consequences will be grave. He will make enemies of impossibly dangerous people, not to mention an angry ex-girlfriend of sorts wants him dead and is hunting him down.The trip is interesting. Javan teaches Sola a lot, like how to fly the ship--could come in handy. During their travels, they have an explosive sexual relationship, and his heart becomes engaged. It's hard to tell if hers is truly or not, creating suspense. They come from different backgrounds and have different beliefs, but the chemistry between them is hot.There is a tragic undertone to this. They can't be together. But Javan is a very brave man. He wants to make it happen.The twists and turns in this story make it unpredictable and fun. For a faced-paced, sci-fi romance, readers of this genre could really enjoy this story.Originally posted at the Long and Short of It Romance Reviews
