Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful Book!
Review: Amanda Ashley has introduced me to whole new world of romance novels! I've never cared much for sci-fi books, especially in romance. But after the first few pages I was hooked! Action packed all the way and a wonderful ending to a beautiful story! READERS BEWARE: If you can't stand a main character being an obnoxious, stuck up, spoiled brat then this may not be the book for you. Just a warning!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another wonderful read from Amanda Ashley!
Review: Amanda Ashley takes her readers through another exciting adventure, with steamy romance and a charming heroine, wonderful hero, and sexual tension to carry all the way through. It's a book you will absolutely love, and enjoy again and again - this a book for readers who love multi-faceted heroines who really come into their own.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Beautiful
Review: I always love Amanda Ashley's work. Her writing is lyrical, her characters lovable, and her plots interesting. This book is no exception.

What puzzles me about nasty reviews, like a couple posted for this book, is WHY? If you don't like a book, why read it & review it? It doesn't make the people who like the author's work stop reading it, and it might influence someone who would enjoy the book not to buy it, which would be a shame. I guess some folks get their jollies out of trashing the work of others, but I don't see any point to it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Read
Review: I enjoyed the book, characters from two different worlds brought together by chance, finding love. what more could one want?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great reading! Stars Wars with true romance!
Review: I have to add my voice to the half & half reviews here. I'm not ordinarily a reader of paranormal/sci-fi style books. But this one really caught & held my interest. Yes, Falkon the hero could really have grabbed that controller sooner! and yes, Ashlynne the heroine was a spoiled little rich-girl who treated him badly!

But the author takes the time to explain why things are the way they are, and after all, the heroine gets "punished" for being the spoiled little rich-girl about 1/2 through the story, so I didn't understand why the other reviewers got down on her so much...I thought the love between Ashlynne & Falkon was really very tender; I loved the hero's change of heart from revenge to forgiveness.

And this story moved so quickly but not at the expense of character development! Bravo! I thought I hated sci-fi but if other sci-fi books are anything like this romance, I'd like to read more!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An excellent read
Review: I really enjoyed reading this book from beginning to end! It was a great story and I hope Ms. Ashley treats her readers to more of the same!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: The heroine needs to be spanked
Review: I think I would have liked this book a lot more had it not been for the heroine, Ashlynne. She is a complete spoiled brat. Not one redeeming quality. This book is not a keeper by a long shot.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An excellent read
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this book and couldn't put it down. This books gets you involved with the characters and grabs you right off the start. No boring, sluggish beginnings in this one.

Summary: Average book
Review: I was looking through the reviews, and I noticed this book. I picked it up, because I normally like Amanda Ashley, but I didn't like this book. I tried to read the whole thing, because I had paid for it, but it was very difficult to keep my attention on the book. I really had no sympathy for the main female character. She acted like a spoiled brat, with no redeeming qaulities. I couldn't understand the guy's motivation for liking her. Even in the end, she acts like a pain. It is not the worst book I have ever read, hence the two stars, but I wouldn't recommend it.
