REVIEWED FOR ROUND TABLE BOOK REVIEWSThis a science fiction tale with a unique story. Janel has a rough life and she doesn't seem to be able to catch a break. When we first meet her, Janel is back on earth for her twenty-year high school reunion and something else...she is being hounded by a powerful Fleet Commander who wants to marry her against her will. Unless she gets pregnant before he catches her, she will be stuck in a worse than loveless relationship. Yet, through the entire story, Janel helps others especially those that are weak or cannot help themselves even at great personal risk.The story is a fast paced, fun romp through space while also a poignant reflection on comfort, love, family and friends. It made me laugh and scream and cry.  The characters are believable and well developed with one caveat...Jake, Janel's secret love and a sexy Montana Sheriff, seems to fade away in the middle. In the beginning and end, he is an integral part of the story. His character grows, participates in the action and frustrated me to no end. And, there are so many characters I want to know more about particularly Moren and John. It left me asking, "Where is he? Why isn't Jake fighting this or being asked his opinion?" It is the only reason I can't give Taylor's tale five stars.That said, I highly recommend reading, A First Love Never Dies I can't wait for the next in the series. Margaret can you please write faster?!
