Tavi Zarola is the captain of Starlight’s Shadow , and her small crew specializes in bounty hunting and recovering stolen items around the galaxy. Drawn together by a traumatic incident that occurred when they all served together in the military, Tavi and her crew are happy with their shoestring but peaceful existence, one that keeps them firmly out of the limelight. No one is more surprised than Tavi when Torran Fletcher approaches them with a job. He was the ruthless rival general during the war, so why would he ask them to help recover the priceless family heirloom that was stolen from his home? Against her better judgment, Tavi and her team accept the job—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime payout if they can recover the item. Torran’s team joins Tavi's as they travel to his home planet to investigate. Tavi is surprised by the two crews becoming a cohesive unit, not to mention the strong attraction between herself and Torran. Tavi knows she should be wary of a man with so much power and so many secrets, but their chemistry is impossible to resist. Mihalik’s novel is a carefully plotted, engrossing space adventure with plenty of twists and turns. Tavi is a strong, interesting character who will always take a more difficult path rather than sacrificing her principles. Tavi and Torran are from different classes and cultures, so the conflict between them is richly layered. The combination of emotional, slow-burn romance and rollicking, high-stakes adventure makes for a fun, fast-paced read.
An exciting space-opera adventure that hits all the right romance notes.
Frankie Corzo narrates an addictive space opera about a bounty-hunting crew that takes on a mission to earn a massive reward. Tavi and her crew have survived the galactic conflict between humanity and the alien race called the Valoff. Broken by the trauma of war, the enemies have settled into a tentative truce. Then, a Valoff general, Torran, contacts Tavi with an offer that’s too good to pass up: retrieve a family heirloom and receive a huge payoff and the means of fixing her ship. Corzo breathes life into the shell-shocked Tavi and makes every character sound distinct and dynamic. The romance that develops between Tavi and Torran is tense and flirtatious—but deliciously slow burning. Corzo’s performance is a sizzling complement to the story.
