My Review

This series just gets better and better when you think you have read the best you find out when the next one comes out it is just so much better. The scenes in this book are written in a way that you have no trouble picturing them. I would love to have one of their showers but I think I would still like my hot shower from time to time just like Wynne does. I really loved this character in the first book I was so glad see Wynne get her own story. With her always being more or less in her sister shadow it was a pleasure to see her bloom and find her man. Don’t think it will be easy there are many touch and go scenes where you just do not know if they will make it or if any good will come out of it.What you will find here is one lady trying to get to her sister before her baby is born only to find herself in a mess where human are being sold. When the ship is attached one man stands alone and grabs her hand taking her with him. They land on a planet that is more dead than alive with unbelievable animals that will blow your mind.

Tor is a men above men kind of like the black sheep who just getting by with a crew he has more or less put together of misfits. They are a crew but a family as well he works hard keeping them safe when their safety is put to the test he is out for revenge at his own cost it is going to be life or death for him once he gets his crew back. This is one strong man who sees his self as nothing great when in truth he is a hero to many. Right now to the world he is a criminal and he is happy to let them think that until Wynne comes along now he has something to live for but will it be enough. This is one man that stole my heart with his caring ways which you will not see until you get more into the book. Wynne has seen it from the start.

Wynne has finally found a place for herself where she can feel whole and be herself. Too many years of being quite and meek are about to end when she finds she is changing to the person she has always wanted to be. She finally can step out of her sister’s shadow and be the beautiful women everyone knows her to be. I have always liked this character she is the center of everyone’s world she keeps them calm thinking things out and keeping everyone together where her sister was a go getter doing finding fighting.

This is one author that knows how to draw her reader in giving a compelling story with scene you can’t imagine until you read them. She writes in a way that makes it easy to picture them in your mind making you wonder how she can come up with these wonderful plots. I was so invested in this story and its characters I could not put it down. She starts her books off with a bang and ending the same way this one is no different. From pirates, kidnapping, to planets for pleasure everyone wants something and they will take it. I love the baiting between Tor and Wynne, I loved the humor that comes with it. I was laughing out loud a few times throughout. I loved the landing and the humor that bring along with the true real fear. I love the chew with their baiting, arguments it was a delight. Tor puts on a good show that he is like the rest of the greed people but truly he is not he might not be human but who cares I would take him in a second. Ms. Rhodes gives you humor, sass, compassion, love, thrills, a few chills in a story that shows why she is one of my favorite authors. This is one story that will have you hooked to the end wondering if they will ever get out of the mess they find their selves in. At times it is very heartwarming where at other times your heart is broken. There is one place at the end I just about cried and said NO NO oh NO. There was nothing I didn’t love about this story. Come take a ride on this science fiction read as you go from galaxy to galaxy meeting new life forms and meeting the good the bad and the downright ugly.

Summary

Series: Women of Earth, Book 2

Always feeling overshadowed by her pretty and outgoing sister, quiet and self-effacing Wynne Donazetto's dreams of college and building a life of her own were lost when Earth was invaded by two warring alien forces. Earth changed, but Wynne didn't.

Seven years later, Wynne is still living in her sister's shadow. She's comfortable there... until her life explodes along with the starliner she's travelling on and she ends up in the arms of a sexy space-aged smuggler called Tor.

Tor's life revolves around his ship and his crew and both have been taken from him. He'll do whatever it takes to get them back, even if it means sacrificing himself. Meeting the woman of his dreams is a complication he doesn't need.

Together with Tor and his eclectic alien crew, Wynne sets off on the adventure of a lifetime to retrieve a stolen spaceship and its cargo of kidnapped Women of Earth. Along the way, she'll discover a strength she never knew she had and a love that will change her life forever.
