I loved this book. The writing was wonderful and I fell in love with the characters. Even though the hero and and heroine were from different planets & cultures their interaction and how they fell in love really revealed that true love can conquer all. I hope that the author writes more stories about the secondary characters in the book

Her captain is a boorish self-conceited macho idiot and the company he represents cares only about the bottom line. Thus she is not shocked when her vessel and that of the Scorpio race get entangled in hostilities with both crash-landing on a nearby hostile planet.
Shockingly Scorpio, Commander Ryven warns the enemy crew of the dangers and offers to escort them to safety. As the sole woman amidst testosterone-thinking thugs on both sides, Xera expects to be a victim. She especially believes her side starting with her captain is the group to fear the most from so she stays close to the Scorpio hunk as he is probably the only safe situation. When another Scorpio ship rescues everyone, Xera knows she is a POW, but her heart captured by Ryven frightens her the most.
NO WORDS ALONE is an exciting science fiction romance driven by the strong cast on both sides of the conflict. The Galactic Explorer¿s crew led by the captain is cutthroat coming across as pirates in space while the Scorpio are more disciplined as a professional military unit. The Romeo and Juliet love story in outer space is well written as the audience sees the first hand cultural divides and taboos inside of the superb Autumn Dawning of a new ¿universe¿.

I have read several of this authors books and generally enjoy her work. Someting about this book didnt work for me though. It just couldnt keep my insterest and I kept putting it down to read other books. The writing isnt bad but the story is lacking. Maybe I am just growing tired of the Autumn Dawn formula because her books are all essentially the same.

This story was a great space travel romance. It did have some slow parts towards the end but other than that an enjoyable read.

This novel, for me, delivered the goods ... pure and simple. I read the sample, downloaded it, then proceeded to read the book in one sitting. Loved the story, the interactions between the characters, the premise. The prose itself flowed well and had snark and wit. Dorchester was wise to pick this one up. It's a fast-paced read that's worth far more than the small price I paid for it.

I Also Recommend:
One of the few books I have read that has a strong military based female that is well written, not overly macho but not whiney. I love the plot and the building relationship with Rayven. I would recommend this book to anyone, I have re-read it three times and it still keeps my interest. The first of the series ,When Sparks Fly, is about the eldest sister. It touched on Xera the youngest it sets her personality and the home values . Not needed to be read first, but does flush out Xera's character and makes you understand her better. However I love the plot from No Words Alone much more. I would love to see another in the series which explains Brandy the middle sister.
