review 1: I seem to be in the minority but I actually enjoyed this even more than the first one. I like Echo and her snarky personality. I like that she had a reason beyond not wanting her entire life ( which she enjoyed) to change to explain her resistance wanting psi powers. I liked the relationship between Echo & Reynard in that they spoke to each other & interacted with one another on top of the intense attraction. Yes they were in love incredibly quickly but that seems par for the course in most romance novels these days so I was happy to go with it.
review 2: Echo is a genetically engineered person (GEP) who works for the diplomatic corps. When it is discovered that some GEP’s have psychic abilities (see Book 1 Close Encounters), she is reassigned to the Bureau ... moreof Alien Affairs and sent to a planet that is off limits to the Federation. Not only does she not know what her supposed psychic abilities are, but she has to figure out how to use them so that she can recover a psychic crystalline life form. Things get complicated when the attractive commander of the king’s army catches her. Now she still has to save the world, but she should try to avoid falling in love too. [return][return]I should start off by letting you know I like my stories with more focus on the Sci-fi than romance. I don’t like it when the story is really just a romance wrapped up in a Sci-fi setting. I felt like the first book in this series managed to do that. This one didn’t manage at all. There was a lot more focus on the romance. The plot never really felt urgent or dangerous and it all wraps up so neat and tidy. Echo was a little too shallow and whiny to be an enjoyable character. Some of her commentary is amusing, but it's not enough to save this story. less
