I really enjoyed this book, but of course i read it once it was all complete and not as the serial:) I thought the pacing was good and the character development was there. would be interested in another one that would possibly be their child so we could see how it was going with the space ship and the terraforming.

Surprisingly good.

Intriguing worlbuilding and characters,. I only whish it had a bit different execution. Even if the story was ok it was still but a bit too long and sort off repetitive, and the ending was a bit too clean.

There was no real spark between the main characters and they got together at the most unlikely times.

I really would have liked to know what happened to Zar. He was dropped like a hot potato in the middle of the story. I also didn't get the whole co-captain thing and why they should co-captain in the first place.

Still, I had a couple of entertaining hours and I don't regret picking this story up.

Took me a few chapters to get into it but once the action started, it was a quick and fun read.

I was kind of torn about how to rate this one cause there was a lot to like about it but I just couldn’t get past the whole lusting after and having sex with ( and then falling for) the guy who brutally murdered pretty much all her co-workers. Sure they were in a crappy position and desperate but they made no effort to find a different solution which didn’t involve violence and murder. They attacked the station without provocation and killed a bunch of innocent workers for their own ends. They ARE terrorists. Plus it wasn’t even a good plan that would result in their survival. It was a fucking dumb plan. AS if any gvt/military wouldn’t immediately nuke the moon as soon as they got their terraforming equipment delivered.

I liked how Tamsyn tried to kill Makk a couple of times but all too soon she was lusting after him (pretty much before the blood of her co-workers was even dry). I did kind of enjoy how besotted Makk is with Tamsyn tho, especially how delighted in her he seems to be every time she tries to kill him or escape. It was way more believable from his side that he would fall for the ‘enemy’ cause she hadn’t attacked his people or murdered a bunch of them. I liked the way it was all resoled too, a clever solution so they could be together but I still couldn’t really get behind the whole romance HEA thing for the aforementioned reasons.

I don't really know how to rate this book. I suspect that if you like erotic romance, it's a five-star book. The world-building is interesting, and the characters are intriguing...if not always likable.

But the dubcon elements were a bit much for me. I ended up stopping relatively near the end because it was tying my stomach in knots.
