A Shockwave of Action and Romance
Wow, I’m still reeling over all the fast paced action. To begin with, the entry into this red world called Mars is beautifully described with high towers snaking throughout Mar’s many canyons by tubes and pipes or through massive tunnels dug beneath the ground level. Their transport system from earth to the docking station is unique as it is between the many other planets within their solar system. Their survival methods in order to live on the planet is fascinating in how it reduces their age appearance and increases their life span by making them immune to diseases that most Earther’s are susceptible to.
The writing is visually graphic and very gripping as it kept me captivated to the end. The character’s chemistry between Cesare & Bianca is magnifying and their romance was like a shockwave of action and a “detonated bliss running through ever vein and scorching every nerve” within my own body’s system. I’d have to say their erotic interludes would be a 3.5 flame. The descriptive scenes were explained without using dirty explicit words but getting the point across. Trust me, they definitely had their exciting moments in a Sci-fi Martian Way.
I loved Cesare – talking about one heroic space cowboy. If I ever met a Martian in real life I’d hope it would be like him – long dark hair, muscle galore with long legs and a sexy smile. LOL Yep I’d love to be that Earther he could save. It seemed his hidden secrets and his dangerous actions gave him a bad rap amongst the other Martians unless you talked to an Earther –a true protector and savior all the way.
Bianca is one hot sexy space-bunny and maybe a daddy’s little girl but she holds her own especially when she has a step mother always keeping her abroad and away from her father, her home planet, and her rightful place in the business. She gets her education while away as an engineer and becomes more than her step mother can handle. I love women who are intelligent and physically fit to kick some butt regardless of their sex.
The story’s plot was definitely filled with lots of fighting action and escaping scenes. The many challenges in preventing Bianca’s step mother Victoria from killing her kept me on the edge of my seat. It seemed every time Bianca turned around Victoria was one step ahead of her due to her black mailing every political echelon by either sleeping with them or buying them out with her conniving wits. Victoria was definitely the perfect character to hate.
The ending climaxed explosively as Cesare and Bianca both get what they want. With exposing the truth behind a slave trade, exposing Victoria of her attempted murder, Victoria’s escapades with trying to gain power over the solar system and owning Bianca’s business, this made one exciting story and I look forward to reading more installments in this series.
Jael Wye, you just gained a new fan – I absolutely loved your writing style and loved the new to me Martian language. LOL You make Sci-fi fun to read by bringing sexiness to it.
Excellent Read!
