Great romance with a little sci fi rolled in

This is a great romance and includes a lot of witchcraft and that type of thing. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and it does have a unique twist from anything else I've read. I did get drawn in at on point to where I didn't want to put the book down.

This book had been sitting on my kindle for a few months.  I finally read it and really enjoyed it! There are erotic scenes so if you don't like that in your sci-fi romance stories then you may not like this book.

What I liked:
Aliens that actually "look" like aliens.
There seemed to be a connection that developed between the protagonists (not insta-love but it was quick).
The duel points of view seemed to work well in this story.
Plot was interesting and moved quickly.
S*x scenes were spicy and detailed.
Character definition and development was very good.
World building was detailed enough to give the reader an idea of what the environment looked like but not overly done to be boring and tedious.
There were scenes that had me laughing as well as suspenseful scenes that kept me interested in the story.

What I didn't really care for:

I actually can't really think of anything that I didn't care for. 

I will be reading more from Stephanie West.

A great time travel romance that doesn't try to explain the science of the possibility.  The author does a good job of capturing the deep sorrows of h I story

Disclaimer: I received and ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Rescue Her Heart is a fun debut novel featuring a mysterious disappearance of both father and fuel, space girlfriends and pirate battles. I would call it science fiction light, so if you are interested in a lot of word building, this might not be for you. However, if you are a fan of adventure romance and can go along with some space travel and blaster battles, you will enjoy this whirlwind romance.

I found this book true to my own life experiences in that the majority of the recurring secondary characters are friends of one of the main characters, Nat, and they are also queer.  It is so nice to see queer community and friendship reflected and I really enjoyed that.  That said, it is a romance between Catherine, a desparate 18 year old who is just finding out who she is (in more ways than one) and Nat, a 28 year old Space Ranger who doesn't know it yet, but is looking for love. Their age-gap comes up but is not the driving force behind the story. Finding Catherine's father initially drives the plot, but the trouble and fun they get into along the way is the entertaining part.

Through their many adventures, Catherine and Nat are constantly tested.  Watching their relationship develop kept me interested. Pick this one up and find out how all these mysteries resolve themselves.

The Perfect Woman is a sci-fi romance with a great deal of action and adventure. Fuell masterfully weaves in elements of fiction, fantasy, and futuristic technology. This is a quick read that focuses on aspects of a potential future that I fear may become a reality, of sorts, in one way or another. Looking at artificial intelligence, the concept really isn't that farfetched.

Wow! Marcella Burnard put some steam in this little sci-fi romance. Naughty, naughty!

Captain Xiao Zhong has ways of making beautiful Commander Cashel Khaleize talk. They've been attracted to each other since she was assigned to his command a year ago. Xiao discovers encrypted messages leaving his ship and creatively interrogates Cashel.

Cashel is more than she seems. She has been assigned to protect Xiao, and a transmission states an assassin is en route. When Cashel reaches Xiao's home he uses the opportunity to push Cashiel's boundaries, question her purpose, and explore their attraction.

Both characters stay true to their roles. Xiao knows she is something potentially dangerous to his crew, and doesn't make any foolish moves in the name of lust. Cashiel wasn't made into a wimpy vulnerable woman overcome by sexy moves. The two of them together were combustible and still smart.

This is a hot,short,fast-paced story and I liked it...alot! I admit I forgot some of the world-building from the first book (struggles from an empire, defections to what should be the enemy but is not the enemy, and some nasty insect-looking aliens, the violent Chekydran, that get off on their blood) so I was a little confused but it was easy to enjoy the sexual tension/romance between Xiao and Cashel. It's noted there is some light BDSM in this steamy novella. This means there's bondage, spanking, and one moment of naughty foreplay. If you want to give this author this is a good read.

Grade: B+

First I wish to thank the author, Jennifer Silverwood, for providing me a copy to read and review.  This genre is one of my favorites too.

This novella, is centered around Qeya.  She's the upcoming healer in her royal family.  Travelling through the stars, hoping to return one day to the only home they knew, their craft is attacked and she, along with several others, escape to the alien planet below.  Unfortunately only a handful survive and they are determined to find the group of their kind who had gone down to the planet earlier to survey.  What follows is heartache, hope, loss, love, and more.

I found myself quickly attached to the story.  I didn't want to put the book down at all, I carried it everywhere with me.  The beginning had a few distractions though.  The wording was a bit rough in spots and the imagery wasn't as clear as could be.  There were times when I just couldn't picture what the characters were seeing or describing.  I would have liked a bit more time on the craft before it's destruction, investing myself a bit more into the culture these beings had been transferred into.

Once on the alien planet, a new friendship is forged with a fellow being whose social stature had been considered much below them.  You get the feel of racial prejudice being more than just earth bound.  The author gives you just enough to understand the social chain, but doesn't drag it on, thankfully.

I found myself enjoying a YA scifi that is a bit different than what is out there right now.  The roots of the book being a traditional scifi without all the extra elements of other genres being thrown in.  The ending of this novella comes to a quick wrap up, too quick for my taste.  I wanted more.

So you may be asking why only 3 stars?  Wording and an inconsistent pace of the story is why.  The story itself?  I look forward to reading the other books/novella's in this series.  I recommend it to anyone who likes a good scifi with mutually strong characters and not a lot of romance thrown at you.

Loved this. So good to read a sci-fi romance with a meaty story - so many of them are fluff. I did find the whole tentacles thing a bit weird but after a while I forgot about them and just enjoyed the ride. Will definatley read the next in the series.

This is the best science fiction romance I've read in the past year. If you love reading lovable aliens, you will not regret reading this. A small warning, the beginning is a little dark.

This was actually a pretty great read. World building is sufficient, though a bit light; character development is sufficient as well, a lot of it is left up to the reader to fill in based on actions dialogue, which is something I enjoy. The romance is laid on a bit thick, but it is a romance novel, and the author does a great job fleshing out the plot and the action sequences, allowing the story to still edge to the fore front, though just barely.
While its a tiny bit hard to believe that a 24 year old is the most sought out mercenary in the universe, the author does a great job keeping that believable with back story and character actions. Some of the clues are given away fairly easily, but the story holds its mystery fairly well. Overall, I'd say this would be a good book for people who are in to typical romance novels, but also want a pretty good scifi story to go with. I'm not usually into heavy romance novels, so this was a pretty good balance.

Great and sassy heroine and wonderful hero. The world building could use a little work, but overall it was a fast paced space adventure and a quick, but satisfying romance. This is a story about rescuing family and about about love spanning the stars. I am looking forward to more stories in this universe.

This is a great science fiction story. The future earth as described by the author is imaginative and fascinating.  The characters in the book are mature adults (no lame empaths or mystical healing heroines in this sci fi story)to whom you can relate.  The heroine is intelligent, thoughtful, and can rescue herself.  This book seemingly has everything most sci fi romances do not - the only problem is that it is very light on the romance, as the main characters do not meet until 1/3 of the way into the book.  Due to their very short relationship, the consumation of their relationship occurs before they barely know each other and is very forced (not the act itself, just the manner in which it is included in the book).  I could have easily rated this book 5 stars if there had been more focus on the relationship.  As it is, this is a great story and a great start to the series.  If you like sci fi, I highly recommend this book.  If you are looking for a sci fi romance, this might not be the book for you.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This sort of post-apocalyptic future world is filled with flirty and fun dragon/human romance.  This installment had a slightly different spin, pairing an art thief (dragon) with a human security officer.  These two seemed to simply glow when they were around one another, which had me cringing at all the secrets that were kept.  Overall, though, the drama was worth it for the HEA.

Savannah is a dragon morph in hiding.  Shes keeping her secret, even though dragon morphs are now in the open.  Part of the reason probably has something to do with her being a high stakes art thief.  Together with her cousin and his family, they rob from dragons that have been hoarding museum treasure since the fall of technology (and the world as we know it).  The last thing Savannah expects is to fall in love while undercover.  Cameron deals with dragon security and already has one strike against him.  If Savannah ends up stealing the priceless art from under his nose that will probably be the end of his career.  Ordinarily, that wouldnt matter to her, but this job brings her far too close to the people affected by her crimes.

The romance was adorable and fun, even if it was filled with lies and deception.  There is the added benefit of a really great HEA to get you through, though.  This paranormal romance mixes a lot of fantasy with a bit of post-apocalyptic future to come up with a really great world.  Ill continue to read the rest of this series as soon as it comes out, especially if it keeps changing up the typical romantic formula.

This was an interesting alien romance story. MS. Cummings gives us new imaginative worlds to visit. The characters, Glib and Vera are believable. I really enjoyed their adventure while watching them try not to fall in love with each other. You'll enjoy this romance story. I received this book free for my review.
