review 1: Who doesn’t like a tragic hero story??? This book has it in spades. We have the hero, Rush, who is hiding a deep, dark secret from his team. We met that team in Seduce Me in Dreams and they essentially his family. Rush’s secret is that he is pyrokinectic which means that he can burst things into flames and he can’t control his power. Like all tragic heroes, he tries to just not use this talent which is why when he gets very emotional – POOF – his talent surfaces and has a tendency to explode then he has to figure out how to snuff this talent quickly before anyone sees what he can do. Rush is ashamed of his talent which he considers a curse.On the other side of the coin, we have Ambrea. She is our tragic heroine. She is a princess that has been denied her birthrig... moreht all her life and has stoically carried on no matter what her father, uncle, brother or anyone from her royal family has thrown at her. She always remains optimistic for her people. Ambrea has been tortured throughout her short life both mentally and physically and still remains regal and poised for the sake of her people.Both Rush and Ambrea are literally thrown together when Rush’s team arrives to rescue Ambrea from prison and put the rightful heir on the thrown of Allay. There is molten chemistry between cool, calm Ambrea and seething, explosive Rush. I loved the banter between the two characters as you watch them get to know each other and both realize that they really are not so different after all. So, you have a captive princess, a dashing hero, an oppressed planet with a power hungry madman, an elite combat team ready to put things right and all you need are some droids. Yeah, yeah, I know I’m being funny so don’t let that put you off. This is a great plot and a great story. This is another great tale that keeps you guessing and wondering what next until the very end. I found myself holding my breath, so I suggest having the oxygen tank handy because you are going to need it by the time you finish this must read book.
review 2: Absolutely loved this book. It's so different yet quintessentially Jacquelyn Frank. I missed the Nightwalkers and Shadowdwellers but I quickly fell in love with the Tarians and Allayans. Unfortunately I haven't picked up the first book of this series however that does nothing to stop the enjoyment and understanding of this book.Our heroine is Ambrea, the daughter of the Emperor of the Allayan empire. Unfortunately for her, her father was a tyrant and had her mother killed and Ambrea exiled when she was young. Our hero is Interplantary Militia fighter Rush Blakeley, a Tarian who also has secret abilities to control fire - although in Rush's case, he had never knowingly controlled it so for him, it was a curse. The story revolves around Rush and his IM team rescuing Ambrea from her prison and keeping her safe until she can retake the throne of Allay as the next heir after her father died and her younger half-brother was killed.The one thing I loved was Ambrea and Rush. Separately, they were so easy to get behind. She was mistreated for most of her life just because her father declared it so yet still have a loving nature and could see the best in others. He was so afraid that he'd hurt others with his powers and spent his years hiding his true self yet working as a dedicated fighter for the IM. Together, they are explosive and loving and so romantic. If the story itself had been garbage, I would have stilled loved the book because of their romance but as it was, the storyline was amazing.I highly recommend this book not just to Jacquelyn Frank lovers but to anyone who delights in a great story. less
