Each book contains a lovely romance, lots of action, and spectacular and well thought out science fiction - it's a freakin miracle! AND - Christina Delaine is wonderful in this series, and performs it as well as any of the great narrators out there. Michelle Diener is a wonderful author who can really write, and she has written three great books in this series. It gets old after a while, and I had given up ever finding a well written book in this sub genre, until I found this amazing series. And she did! I LOVE sci fi romance novels, but too often the writing suffers from authors who lean a bit too heavily toward ever more bizarre alien sex scenes, and overly bit*chy dialogue for the women as a substitute for strength and/or wit. I could only hope that if the series was ever given the Audible treatment, that the author would choose the perfect narrator as well. Last year when I found this series on Kindle, I was stunned by the beautiful writing, plotting and character development - something I've never seen in a typical sci fi romance before. Winner of a SFR Galaxy Award 2016 and the Prism Award 2016 for Best Futuristic.Ī Perfect Sci Fi / Romance Series You'll Love!

The only problem is, all its crew are dead - all except for one strange, new alien being.

He's saved her from captivity and torture, but he's also put her in the middle of a conflict, leaving Rose with her loyalties divided.Ĭaptain Dav Jallan doesn't know why he and his crew have stumbled across an almost legendary Class 5 battleship, but he's not going to complain.

It isn’t really necessary to read these in order.Some secrets carry the weight of the world.
