4.5 Very entertaining sci-fi adventure/romance. I loved the way the main characters balanced each other out and enjoyed how the story unfolded. I hope there will be more stories with Jake, Rill and Lian.

Jake and Rill are partners, Jake won an aged spaceship the same night he met Rill. Rill is a nova, basically a made-to-order human being and thus is very good looking.
Stumbling home merrily drunk, Jake bumps into Lian, a gembaby(rich spoilt child), wanting a trip home. Lian is obviously in some sort of trouble but offers Jake double rates and something in Lian makes Jake agree. Rill is also attracted to Lian and thus they set off in the middle of an asteroid storm, hopping from large asteroid to the next. But Lian wants to get home because he witnessed Palan(a cousin) murder Dixon(Palan's brother), unfortunately Palan is on to them. Palan pilots the latest in space transport and sits on their tail, following their every move - can they lose him? Does Lian make it home and do the three of them make it a permanent threesome? Answers are there if you read the book!!
Enjoyed most of the story but seemed to drag a bit in the middle.
3.5 stars

3/5

Going into a new book always holds so much promise. There’s some element of surprise to be had, but after reading hundreds of books, the feel for what’s to come and the pattern of certain books becomes familiar. Like a song you can hum along to upon first hearing a few bars.
This book had a tune that I’ve come to enjoy. The sci-fi outer space expedition and falling in love adventure. Always nice. Given how much I enjoy that style of m/m story, or in this case m/m/m, I was a tad disappointed at this one. I have no idea when they fell in love. They were annoyed with each other the entire time but kept saying there was love. A couple mostly awkward love scenes and some mildly anti-climactic adventure scenes with a strange twist that also resolved itself surprisingly fast all left me both bored and with whiplash. This books just didn’t come together seamlessly, like a recipe with all the right ingredients that tastes meh. This book was a small step above that. Definitely some Good Effort Stars.
