Genre: Romance/Sci-Fi/Christmas
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.”
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.
This is her first book. Check out her website for a little bit of insight into
this new Indie author, this made me laugh. “I’m a romance author, but this blog
is about my life as a sex-positive, slightly-geeky, gender-role-despising,
equal-rights-defending, independent city girl.”
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.
FYI:
This book contains adult situations that may not be suitable of young
adults.
