*** Book Review- Falling Stars: A Sci Fi Alien Romance by Kimberly Dean

 

 When representatives from the planets of the troubled Akasha solar system meet to sign a peace accord, talks go awry. Tempers flare, and a battle erupts. Cut off from their own spacecraft, the landing parties commandeer an alien starship to escape.

Trapped onboard the Storm Chaser together, Commander Rhodie Menodora doesn’t trust the sultry Sciroccon Spears who protect their planet’s female president. He’s just not prepared for the pretty little Sciroccon doctor who’s snuck into their midst. When he’s hit by phaser fire protecting his king, though, he’s at her mercy.

Breeze Caelestis took a vow to heal those who are hurting, even if it’s the hard-nosed leader of the King’s Guard from the patriarchal planet of Terrene. Rhodie’s a difficult patient to treat—but they need to learn to work together if they’re going to survive. Living on the run from avenging space military forces, Breeze and Rhodie soon move beyond acceptance to desire. And alien enemies turn to lovers. Yet their starship romance may be short lived for Breeze is on a secret mission, and Rhodie may have the intel she needs to prevent a war between the planets.

5+ STARS

What a great story with unpredictable, non-stop action !  And the people of the different races were so well developed as was their culture.  Their physical descriptions and abilities were off the charts good.   

It was really easy to be pulled into the personalities of both Rhodie and Breeze.  And wanting the two of them to overcome all as their romance advanced.  They were bucking big odds to  become lovers.  I enjoyed the way the author wrote their love scenes. It might have been intense but it was also tender and caring.  

Breeze has a sister, Skye  who is also onboard the escaping Storm Chaser.  Skye was the leader of the  Sciroccon people and she wasn't there originally by choice.  But I liked how she was also a part of the story and was just one of several secondary people who added so much.  There are three different groups of people so different but they had to learn how to work together or die.  And I enjoyed their progress and times of friction.

This is one of those stories that kept me on the edge of my seat.  With a ending that made me smile.

I wouldn't mind one bit finding more space romance stories by this author.  Especially if they follow any of the secondary people in this book.  Yes, they were that good. 

 

   " I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy of this book,  and this is my honest opinion about it."
