In Enemy Hands
review 1: This book certainly knows how to command the attention of the reader!ItI have not read a lot of science fiction romance, but this one was really enjoyable. However, I do not like cliffhanger ending's. I really hope that there is a sequel! I love the heroin. She is smart, savvy, intelligent, and when the chips are down, she gains a great deal of courage to fight back!I absolutely love the hero, and part of the wonder of this book for me is the absolute horror that was done to him. If I think about it for any length of time, it is both terrible and heartbreaking.There better be a sequel! I really, really, really, hate cliffhangers. Did I mention that already? This book was a punch in the face, and I can't wait to read more by this author. Although, if the usual style is an e... morending that leaves me hanging then I am going to need some major spoilers.TheThe world building was on point.
review 2: It is great to find a new author in the small Science Fiction Romance genre, especially such a talented one. In Enemy Hands is the story of two people abused and trapped by a brutal regime, trying to find a way to freedom. Turk is a mathmatical genious who has been virtually enslaved through mind altering drugs. His memories are wiped every two days. Moon is a scientist who has unwittingly created a world destroying weapon. Events force them on a voyage of self-discovery as they try to escape the regime. Turk is such an appealing hero. His struggle to regain his lost memories and to save Moon is so romantic. Moon is a typically absent-minded professor and takes a while to realize the danger of her research. I could really feel her attraction to Turk. The few sex scenes were well done although maybe the last one could have been better written with more emotional description than physical description. It was feeling more like filler than driven by the story. I LOVED the hard science described in the book. There were a few passages that I really had to stop and think about and I still didn't really understand. But it felt completely authentic and deliciously over my head! There were some great secondary characters and I'm looking forward to reading about them in their own books one day(hint, hint... Drue & Kad!) less
