Suspended in the Stars is a unique sci-fi adventure that begins on a circus ship. Think trapeze artists. It’s a fun place to start in the world building. The adventure spreads across the stars with galaxy politics, assassins, lots of hiding, running and a few surprises in the plot.
Romance is not my usual genre. Jane Austen said: “pictures of perfection make me sick and wicked,” I don't think she’d like this book. He is a perfect, muscular warrior and she is the beauty of the show. For me, there was a bit much sexual tension as it’s constantly there. He wants her perfect body. She wants his. The characters were likable and the story was good enough to make me want to read book two. There was no sex. Kissing. Hugging. It was all fairly innocent, but it left you feeling like the think of little else. I’d enjoy it more if I too were perfection. It’s not very original for a man to fall for a gorgeous woman. Likewise, it’s not too impressive for the gorgeous woman to fall for the handsome, muscular man in tight clothes. They both have secrets. They don’t know if circumstances will permit their love. Her flaw is that she trusts people too easily and is sometimes mistaken. His flaw is that … I’m not sure what his flaw is. Maybe, this is normal for romance. I chose it for the sci-fi adventure that it is. As I said, the story was good enough that I’ll probably give into the cliff hanger and read book two.
