I had so much fun reading this book! An unadulterated space romp with hilarious bounty hunter, Cyn, charging headfirst into all sorts of trouble. The romance with gruff medic Micah was wonderful, full of chemistry and brilliant banter. I was rooting for Cyn from the beginning and only grew to love her more as the story progressed and more of her character was revealed. The world-building was brilliant too. I'll definitely be going back to read the first in this series!

Thank you to Tor for the NetGalley ARC.

📣 a new fave space romance author!

Thanks to the publisher & Netgalley for the complimentary ARC. All opinions provided are my own.

📖 what’s one of your Wednesday numbers? Mine are: 3 kids back in school today after one has been sick since Monday; 2 books finished last night; 1 latte I just got from a Dunkin’ Donuts.

Yes, please 🙏 for a wary alliance made between two hotties who have to work together to rescue a kidnapped child & bring down a major baddie—all in space.

Bounty hunter Cyn Khaw has one major mission: to find the person responsible for kidnapping her cousin years ago & bring them down before they can cause any more devastation.

She joins in with the crew of the Calamity to do so, including medic Micah who she’s had physical feelings for since their introduction in the previous book.

Trust is not automatically granted from either of them, something made more tension-filled since Cyn has been forced into betraying him (but will she actually do it?).

This yummy book offers so much to space romance fans: an intriguing mystery & suspense plot, two wary leads learning to trust & falling in love, a heroine who reconnects with her family & takes an ultimate leap…

Such a great book & I can’t wait to see where the series goes next 🪐🚀.

5 ⭐️. Out 06/04.

Lots of CWs including: death, violence, blackmail, kidnapping of children, reference to human trafficking, reference to cults, being spaced.

This book can be read as a standalone. The two main characters have some history together; they meet for the first time in Calamity. I enjoyed the worldbuilding, and I liked the relationship building between Cyn and Micah. Cyn's quest to find the Abyssal Abductor (I can't take the villain seriously with that ridiculous name) was too predictable. Fans of Jessie Mihalik will enjoy this book.

In the second installment of The Uncharted Hearts series, we meet up again with Cyn Khaw aka Generosity from book one. It turns out the wacky Generosity was Cyn Khaw badass bounty hunter undercover. Now Cyn has a new job and she is back on the Calamity. Will the crew recognize her? More importantly will Micah ? Cyn is going to need backup to get this job done, but she’s not used to relying on anyone.
Solid story. Good romance. I like how this series is going.
Thanks Netgalley for the ARC. My opinions are my own.

An enthralling space adventure that follows the thrilling pursuit of a bounty hunter as they track down a notorious serial kidnapper and killer. Along the way, they form an unexpected alliance with Temper and the Calamity crew, and amidst the chaos, find themselves irresistibly drawn to the skilled medic. This captivating universe, brimming with vibrant supporting characters, is sure to captivate and immerse readers in its gripping narrative. Thank you to the publisher and author for allowing me to share my thoughts on book.

“I’ll be your oxygen if you’ll be my atmosphere” 😭❤️

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS BOOK ❤️ This book has everything I could want out of a sci-fi romance:
✔️adorable pet
✔️forced proximity
✔️exciting storyline with just the right amount of space /sci-fi elements
✔️unexpected twist
✔️tension and banter 🤌🏼
✔️save from nightmare


I’m absolutely obsessed with Micah and I love how Cyn comes back into the story after Calamity. Their story felt fresh and not too similar to book 1 which I appreciate! Hearing her backstory and seeing how she reconnects with her family is so heartwarming and makes the book more than just a romance. I’m also still hooked on the plot line itself and am dying to know what happens to a certain bounty and the family involved 👀

With this new addition, this series is now one of my favorite sci-fi series. I loved the first book, Calamity, but I think Fiasco raised the bar.

While I knew many of my favorite elements were going to be in this book (bounty hunters, found family, feudal society structure - I am a sucker for ruling families and their drama, especially in space), this book is everything I want from sci-fi space opera (character growth, action packed, funny banter, unique world building) with a plot that kept me on my toes the whole book. This book is also layered with a more philosophical look into humanity that gives this book more depth and heart that I crave from space opera books.

I read this book in an afternoon and I can't wait for more and more books in this series and from this author.

Looking for your next steamy space romp? Welcome to FIASCO, where a crew of space misfits races to locate a kidnapper on an island swarmed by snakes! Famed bounty hunter Cyn and medic Micah are thrown together for a job, but can they keep their chemistry in check? CALAMITY’S crew is back, leading us to a new planet where corruption and mystery await. FIASCO is spacey, steamy, and scintillating—everything I’ve ever wanted from a sci-fi romance.

Two words: the pacing.

Fiasco is the second book in the space adventure series by Constance Fay. This book features Cyn, a bounty hunter trying to avenge her cousin’s death, and Micah, the medic from book one. Cyn is hired to find a child who was recently kidnapped by the same kidnapper who took and killed Cyn’s cousin. Cyn needs to work with the crew of the Calmity since the new hostage is the niece of the MMC from book one.

There are a lot of things that happen in this book but the pacing of the story was abysmal (haha). I found I could not read this for long and the whole 328 page book took me more than two weeks to read (which isn’t normal for me). The world building continued to be neat, something I enjoyed in book one, but I think the language somehow got more pedantic. It might be a stylistic choice to have a future civilization use SAT words, but it just became world salad in my read, which didn’t help the pacing. If someone needs to explain, ask them to explain, not “elucidate.”

I am a Constance Fay fan! She writes fun, fast paced, action packed, romance filled sci-fi. Which is just the way I like it! I was so happy when we learned we were going to get a sequel to Calamity, which was one of my favorite books of 2023. Fiasco is well on its way to being one of my favorites of 2024! What makes this book so special is how deep the concepts are while still being a fun book. I’d love to see my morally grey characters put an ethical dilemmas, and still make time for funny banter. There is a balance of high and low that, Fay does so well. Once again, delightful world building on a grand political scale. Here’s hoping all of the members of our crew get their own books. Because I can’t wait to read them!

Thank you #Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I thought the first book was just okay, so I wasn't surprised to find out that I felt similarly about the second book. I think objectively this is a fun romance book with some action in it, but I don't typically read a lot of romance so I think that's why I didn't love it. If someone were to like romance, I think they'd like this book a lot more than I did. This just personally wasn't for me.

Thank you NetGalley and Tor for providing me with this ARC.

The prose is great – light, easy, humorous – and this will certainly be a treat for sci-fi fans. While I stopped after chapter 1, I would consider going back to this one myself. Easy four to five stars if it keeps it up.

Thank you to NetGalley and Tor for the ARC.

This book is the the follow-up to Calamity. Unfortunately it isn't as good as Calamity. The first half of the book follows a direct story and plot as a reader would expect. The author surprises the reader with a villainous character which adds some intrigue and depth to the story. After this revelation, the book loses it's focus. As a result, the story is all over the place. There's illegal narcotics, assistant living breakouts, family secrets revealed, and crime families taken to task. All this activity is centered around a minor character that was mentioned in Calamity. The Calamity crew is little more than a side note. Hopefully the next book in the series will be better.

In this captivating read, the author masterfully weaves a narrative that is both engaging and thought-provoking. Through a blend of richly developed characters and a meticulously crafted plot, the book offers a unique exploration of its central themes, inviting readers to immerse themselves in the story's depth and complexity. The narrative is paced perfectly, balancing moments of intense action with thoughtful reflection, ensuring that readers are hooked from the first page to the last. The author's ability to evoke emotion and create a vivid, immersive world is truly remarkable, making this book a must-read for anyone looking for an exceptional literary experience.

Beyond its compelling storyline, the book stands out for its insightful commentary on the human condition, weaving philosophical questions into the fabric of its narrative. The author's skillful use of language not only enriches the text but also elevates the reader's experience, offering new perspectives on familiar themes. Whether it's the intricate dynamics of relationships, the exploration of identity, or the confrontation with ethical dilemmas, this book tackles complex issues with sensitivity and intelligence. It's a testament to the power of storytelling to illuminate the nuances of life, making it a valuable addition to any book lover's collection. Regardless of genre, this is a work that resonates on multiple levels, affirming the enduring impact of well-crafted literature.

I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for a review.

I really enjoyed the first one in this series, although I felt it was mislabeled as a romance. This one definitely had more of a romance feel, but I still greatly enjoyed the adventure that was present, too. It wasn't too hard to guess some plot points, but some things did take me by surprise. The only reason this took me two days to read is because I had to sleep and feed my children at some point. I'm excited for more from this author.
