Peace was for little girls

And Coalition starship admiral Brit Bandar was one tough woman. A mere intergalactic treaty could never get her to trust the Drakken Horde. There was too much bad blood between the Coalition and the Horde and, for intensely personal reasons, Brit wasn't sure that she was through spilling it! But now a peaceful accord had made Finn Rorkken, a notorious Drakken rogue, second in command on her starship, and--through some grand cosmic irony--front and center in her thoughts...and her heart.

Warleader. Pirate.

Either title sat easily on Finn's battle-hardened shoulders. Though second in command to "Stone-Heart" Bandar? That one would take some getting used to. Peace required as much sacrifice as war so he'd comply even if his reaction to the gorgeous admiral fell decidedly outside protocol. But would he end up kissing or killing her if the galaxy's tentative truce turned into all-out war?

This story has a nice blend of sci-fi and romance. It captured my interest from the beginning a maintained it throughout. Now that the war is over, starship caption Admiral Brit is forced to take Finn, from the race she has been fighting for years, as her second in command.

I saw this book as a guest review on Smart Bitches, and it got an A- grade (yes, I'm jealous, because that doesn't happen very often). So I bought it for my Nook, and I'm glad that I did. :)

I really enjoyed Moonstruck. It's got some dark, gritty politics, and complex world building. The story flows very quickly. Almost too quickly, because the big drama was resolved way too fast for me. I feel like that may be a result of being restricted by word count, and I would've happily read more.

I loved the hero and the heroine. The only problem I had with the book was with the storyline with a few of the secondary characters. (Please, Tango, just stop representing Earth. You're not doing us any favors.) Thankfully everything worked out that way I hoped it would, but for several chapters I was cringing whenever it switched to Hadley's POV. Kind of like watching a horror movie where you're yelling "No, don't inside the house, the killer's in there!" at the oblivious chick on the screen, and she of course doesn't listen to your warnings.

This was a good story.

Realisations about certain events or actions in the books seemed to have a very natural timing, and I was impressed with the main characters. I found one or two secondary characters a little unlikeable (Hadley really needed to get her head screwed on properly), but overall I found the universe a fun place to be in.

Looking forward to reading the other books in this series. ( )

I enjoyed this story of two people in a complicated relationship. In a universe where Earth is only a minor partner in an galactic civilisation (leading to some entertaining moments from one of the few earthlings on board the ship). The Coalition starship admiral Brit Bandar lives to exact revenge on the Drakken Horde. When peace breaks out and she has to team up with Finn Rorkken, a member of that Horde, she has to adjust her thinking, and start thinking of how her life is going to be post-war. Where to from here. Things are complicated by her attraction to Finn and by the guilt that this raises in her.

With a well-realised couple and some sparkling secondary characters this is a good read. I enjoyed the story and the development of the characters. ( )

SF Romance is one of my favorite genres but I don't seem to read many of them lately. I'm glad I finally pulled this one out of my TBR pile because I found it thoroughly enjoyable. I have not read the previous series which leads up to this book and had no problem following the story.

This books begins at the end of the Horde war (and the previous "Otherworldly Men" series). After being at war for hundreds of years the Coalition, Drakken Horde, and Earth have united into The Triad Alliance. The transition to peace is a difficult one for any society. Coalition Admiral Brit "Stone-Heart" Bandar has spent her career hunting and killing the hated Drakken. But now she has a new assignment - command a new diplomatic ship called "Unity" and staff it with members of all three societies. Her second in command is her former Drakken enemy, Warleader Finnar Rorkken.

Brit has good reason to hate and distrust the Drakken and she has earned her nickname "Stone-Heart". But she is a complex and admirable character. I was struck by how fair she was to her former enemies trying to integrate them into her crew in leadership roles rather than relegate them to subservient roles. Finn is another well written character. He has had to struggle his whole life to advance to his present position, but he is very smart and loyal to his crew. I admired both the H/H very much. All the characters were 3 dimensional and the action adventure story was fast paced. Kind of like watching an old episode of Star Trek (one of my favorites). Someone is out to sabotage the peace and Brit and Finn must learn to trust each other as they finally explore their attraction. The spicy loves scenes and touches of light humor made this a memorable read ... you'll find yourself laughing, crying and having a hard time putting it down. I look forward to the next book in the series - The Warlord's Daughter - due out in March 2009. GRADE: A- ( )
