Don't be put off by the Fabio like cover. This story isn't as bad as the cover. This is my first Dara Joy book. Knight of a Trillion Stars is funny and romantic, but also quite predictable like many others in the genre. I couldn't relate much to this heroine. She's a modern very beautiful woman but her knowledge of intimate matters is quite Victorian. I found that kind of detail hard to get past. It's one thing if this book were set a hundred years ago, but Deana lives in the 21st century where, even if you haven't experienced it, you've seen much on TV or film. I don't much care for the plot device of the blushing virginal modern heroine who is stunningly good looking, but doesn't realize she's so beautiful and is completely naive about her body and a man's body. Please. People can learn about sexuality these days from watching prime time television programs! If the blushing virgin is in a historical novel, I can accept that. If she's in a Christian fiction book, I can accept that. However, when it appears in the contemporary romance genre, it's really strange. Ok, off my soap box now.

This book has a nice twist at the end that explains the first few pages and I very much enjoyed the character of Rejar, the half-brother so I look forward to the sequel. Overall this is an enjoyable book although there are better sci-fi romance books out there and I've read several of those.
