Summary: The Star Prince is a winner
Review: Ian Hamilton's upbringing had not prepared him to become the crown prince of the galaxy. His life took that strange turn after his mother married Rom B'kah, and his new stepfather became the Vash Nadah king. Rom unexpectedly named his stepson as his heir, although Ian has no Vash Nadah blood in him. The Vash Nadah nobility were predictably scandalized. Rom immediately puts Ian to work trying to find the source of discontent on the outer edges of the galaxy, an area that includes Earth and its restless inhabitants, many of whom aren't particularly enthusiastic about being part of any galactic federation. Ian's job isn't easy and gets harder when his pilot drinks himself to death on an out-of-the-way planet.Tee'ah Dar is a high-ranking member of the Vash Nadah nobility, destined to marry well and settle into the constricted life dictated for women under its constraining social customs. She wants to be a pilot and see the galaxy, instead, so she "borrows" a star ship and runs away. When she finds herself stranded on an out-of-the-way world, her only hope for escape is to sign on to pilot a ship stranded when its pilot dies unexpectedly. Ian and Tee'ah strike sparks off each other immediately. Tee suspects who Ian is, and his association with the world she's fleeing concerns her. Ian worries that his new pilot appears to have a drinking problem, which is the last thing he needs. Neither of them needs a romantic entanglement that can't go anywhere, but the more they learn about each other, the deeper their feelings for each other become. The Star Prince is a wonderful futuristic romance with a well-paced plot, warm, engaging characters, and a number of nice little touches that make the futuristic background feel complete and credible. Throwaway details such as the rainbow-colored bubble-bots performing in a street-show evoke an exotic feel without being intrusive. The characters are sympathetic and engaging. Ian, in particular, is a terrific hero, a man who is challenged to fill a position he never anticipated. He brings all his considerable intelligence, charisma, diplomacy, and daring to a role complicated by political entanglements, conflicting loyalties, language difficulties and family problems. You can't help but root for Ian and Tee to find a way through the seemingly impossible complications to find a happy ending. The resolution is both unexpected and very satisfying. The Star Prince has found a place on my "keeper" shelf.

Summary: WHAT A BOOK !!
Review: Once again, Susan Grant has the uncanny knack for pulling you into her book's adventure so that you can feel the starspeeder shudder, see the blackness of space, hear the computer's alarm, taste the tock, and yes, even smell the 'clay-roll'. Her galaxy creatures and people are very entertaining, the humor sometimes subtle to make you chuckle and sometimes crazy to make you laugh out loud. As Ms. Grant's usual, the high-tech futuristic gadgets and ideals are consistent throughout and very cool. Ian is a honorable, lovable, sexy, prince-of-a-guy that has a killer grin and looks mighty fine in a pair of tight jeans. He has all the wonderful qualities that only Susan Grant can describe. Tee'ah is a fantastic heroine, as are all of Ms. Grant's women. In my opinion, what makes a really good romance book is the woman. Hunky men are easy to imagine, but it's the heroine that makes the book because she has to be the perfect mate for the hero. Tee is someone we can all relate to in one way or another or wish we could find in ourselves. You'll love her. There is also a well-known, very sexy Vash fella that re-appears to have a little adventure of his own. I was so glad to see him.
You thought The Star King was good? Well, you'll have a hard time deciding which one you liked better. So, turn on you gravity generator, grab a cup of tock, and settle in for a very satisfying adventure. Thank you Susan!

Summary: WOO-HOO!
Review: Princess Tee'ah Dar was sick of enduring life in isolation as Vash Nadah tradition demanded. In a desperate bid for freedom, Tee'ah stole a starspeeder to begin a new life doing what she loved most, flying! Ian Hamilton, an Earth dweller who was the heir to the Trade Federation and crown prince of the Vash empire, was deep undercover. He posed as Ian Stone, a trader of black market items. He was determined to bring the human people of Earth, the Vash people of Sienna, and all the people in the Federation together in peace! However, freak accidents and bad luck kept getting in the way. When his pilot died, Ian's crew was stranded on an awful world called Donavan's Blunder. Ian's critical mission would have failed right there, had a spunky pilot, Tee, not happened to appear. But neither Ian nor Tee told the other who they really were. King Romlijhian, Tee's uncle, sent Gann Truelénne after the runaway princess. To do so, Gann had to hire Lara Ros, a master tracker. Gann and Lara clashed instantly, but are forced to work together if they were to succeed. The galaxy would never be the same again! ***** In a word, "W-O-W!" And throw in a few "WOO-HOO's!" Why? Because Susan Grant has created an amazing universe with some very interesting characters to turn it upside-down! The story was well written and very believable. I could not help but cheer Tee's bravery. When the name "Susan Grant" is on the cover, readers best hold onto their seats because it's going to be one heck of a ride! ***** Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews.

Summary: Great series...............
Review: This book by Susan is my second, after reading Contact and enjoying that one I quickly found this one and Star Princess. I really enjoyed this one, Ian and Tee'Dar were great for each other. I also greatly enjoyed the secondary characters like Muffin and Lara. The KettaCat was also great. I also hope that she contines this series,and hope that she finds a mate for Klark Che's brother. I'm still trying to get all the families down, but she's going to have to continue the series. I'm now reading Star Princess and enjoying that book as well. I highly recommend thses books they're great. Please Susan write more Star series books.
