Second chance and forbidden romance. Ten years ago they spent an intense week together then he disappeared. She now owns a bar on a space station and carries both her longing and anger at him with her every day. She’s never gotten past it and hates that she can’t. Then he walks into her bar and she learns why he’s been gone all this time and he’s not leaving without her.
I really like Cass Carlton’s writing style. There’s a poetic restraint that I appreciate. So many authors decorate their writing with flowery language in an attempt to have a greater impact to heighten the moment when truthfully all that is needed for impact are the right words simply put together. There is an art in the ability to say much with a few well chosen words and Cass can do that.
