BOOK REVIEW- HIS ONLY HOPE

 
Cord, a former soldier who lost his young family, is hired to ensure a scientist’s sister is transported safely to the Ashula Mountains. Easy money, right? Not when a self-proclaimed governor, the natives and Cord’s old friend are all against him. Add to that his personal demons, alcoholism and an unwanted attraction to an alien...Cord has his hands full. Hope, however, has a destiny. One that will save everyone from a never-ending winter—but only if she succeeds. Unfortunately for her, the only one who can help is a hairy and uncouth alien male. There’s never a dull moment in this new frontier where winter is never-ending and tech doesn’t work, but one question remains. Will Cord accept the second chance at love he’s offered or will Hope slip through his fingers in this touching Science Fiction Romance?   AMAZON  4.5 Stars on Amazon

I agree with the book blurb,  "Never a dull moment" in this story.  I really enjoyed it and found it to be a really  pretty interesting story.   Cord had a hard time since she was the enemy, a Camo( a native of this planet's population)  and he had a deep anger against them.  He had ample reason to hate them. I liked how in the beginning chapters she thought of him (and other humans) as the alien.  It took me a few minutes to catch up with that but when I did it made me smile and think that it was quite a nice touch.   True but not often written that way.    It was chock full of action and some misunderstandings too.   Oh and don't forget the prejudices too.    I liked how difficult it was for Hope and Cord to communicate, but they did manage to get their points across at times.  Hope had some interesting skills and began to think of Cord as her human.    Cord might not have been living a good life lately but he did have a code that he still stood firm on.   Yes, this story had enough twists and turns to keep you on your toes.  They weren't overwhelming but well blended into the story.
