Great Story! First book I've read by this author. I'm eagerly awaiting the second book. Perfect blend of lite sci fi and romance. Characters were three dimensional and plot moved along nicely.

Enjoyed this book! It was the second Susan Grant book I read. It is followed by 'The Star Prince'. Love this author.

I don't usually read futuristic, but this was a wonderful book that kept me turning pages to see what would happen next. The hero's respect for women and especially mothers was touching. You'll just have to read it for yourself.

Jas and Rom have experienced a moment of mystical connection. Since they have never met, that connection has caused them loneliness and despair. It takes years, humanity's first contact with aliens, and Jas's determination to see the world's beyond Earth to bring them together. And then things really get interesting.
This is a really good romance with a science fiction background. The characters are complex enough to be interesting. Their love has to overcome Rom's training to an unbending code of honor and Jas's insecurities. And they have an interstellar crisis to deal with, too.
The SF part is not quite as strong. I don't expect a romance to get into the way faster-than-light travel works, but some things should be worked out more. Still the culture Grant has created has depth and feels possible.
Try this book! I think you will find it entertaining.

I know this is pure entertainment, but I found that the *whatever* race the Vash Nadah are being soooo compatible with humans a bit disturbing. It burst the bubble of 'suspension of disbelief' that is a constant companion to all sci-fi reading.
Kudos though, to Ms. Grant for the accurate description of neg-G's and the fear of falling.
