Author:
Aria Kane
is a recovering mechanical engineer and romance writer. She lives in sunny Florida with her fifty pound mutt who thinks he is a Chihuahua
Description:
When Jenna’s
job as an engineer causes her to miss the last scheduled passenger flight home
from the mining colony on Titan, she
has to become creative to get home to Earth before Christmas. She learns that sometimes
private cargo pilots will take on passengers, for the right price.
There is one small cargo ship, piloted by Grayson, that is
getting ready to make the three day trip, but he doesn’t want any passengers. Jenna
convinces Grayson to allow her aboard his ship so she can be home with her
sisters on Christmas. When she learns what he is transporting is extremely
dangerous and illegal she must decide whether to help him or turn him in to the
authorities.
Appraisal:
This
novelette is a quick, light, enjoyable read. Jenna is a problem solver and I
liked her character as well as Grayson’s. Her biggest problem at first is being
on such a small cargo ship with a gorgeous pilot. Heat rises quickly and is
sated nicely. Grayson is a nice guy who is stuck between a rock and a hard
spot. As we learn his story, it is easy to sympathize with his moral dilemma. The
story is told with plenty of dialogue; the plot is tight and flows well. Most
of the story takes place on the cargo ship between the two main characters and
neither is afraid to get their hands dirty in one way or another. I enjoyed the
escape into their lives and I found the ending extremely satisfying.
