This was a thoroughly enjoyable old fashioned Science fiction / Romance.

Plenty of action with a well thought out romance made this an enjoyable read.

The characters were well developed with good interaction.

Although the story line was predictable I found it very enjoyable.

Thank you netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This was a decent space romance. Alek is traveling in her ship with her brother when they are attacked. She survives and is rescued by the hero who feels an instant attraction to her. Once she awakens she stubbornly request to work with him on a dangerous mission. While the plot was interesting many parts felt slow. The characters had chemistry as they are both stubborn.
If you don't mind the pace, the story is worth the read.

Aleksia Matthews and Jason Cole have a common goal, stop the pirates. They should be able to work together but there are secrets on both side as danger and tension ramps up. There were few surprises for me as I knew who was good and who was bad but the read was still enjoyable. Nice world building and interesting backstory kept the plot moving. I loved both Alekais and Jason but my favorites were two of the more interesting side characters.

This is the first book I have read by this author. I hope it's not the last. I enjoyed the twists and action in this well written story. Aleskia and Jason are combustible together. The culprits in the story were soon evident but the flow of the story took time to play out. A very enjoyable read!
