**I received this book in exchange for an honest review**
Even though I am a fan of sci-fi movies, I've never really read many books in the genre. This book was such a pleasant surprise! I love books that have alpha male characters and Hale definitely qualifies. He is trying to hide from the authorities because of his past. He does this by maintaining a low profile, never keeping to any kind of regular routine, and by paying for everything in hard credits. Imagine his surprise when he has caught the attention of Kez, a female runner. She wants Hale's help with a critical run she has planned. Both main characters have more going on than what's immediately apparent. They find that they have a lot in common and are now in a race against time and against all odds to save themselves and their families from a life not worth living.
The world that E.J Frost has created has amazing creatures and technology that is drool-worthy for any tech geeks out there. This is an amazing adventure and I would recommend it without any reservations.

So this story follows our main guy, Snow/Hale (he has a secret identity cause he's an ex-military guy), a freelance pilot/smuggler. Hale comes to meet Kez, our main girl on a job she hires him for. Kez is known in their circles for being really reliable, never ditching a job. Things should go easy and smooth, except Kez has a few secrets that jeopardize everything, and intwines them both deeper than they planned.
One thing I really liked about this book is that it's fully for the guy's point of view, those books are pretty rare, so it's nice to stumble upon them. Also, this is a very scifi book, it's a romance but it's written like a fully scifi book and I thought that was really nice.
Sadly, I think this is why I didn't enjoy it as much. The book in itself is great, the writing is good, and the characters are well developped, my issue with it was that too much happened, there was so much back and forth that at the end I barely even cared what happened, but I can't really fault the book for fitting the genre it chose.
So yeah, I would recommend this for people who like romance but with a lot of plot and know they like the classic scifi mode
