Ragnar and Juliet

review 1: Oh, this is a joy. Something you add to a gift list, because it's innocent, cheeky, (sometimes) hot fun in a small package (80 pages).There were just two things I didn't really like about it. Juliet is put up as a very strong woman, but stumbles from damsel-in-distress situation to damsel-in-distress situation. Give her some more chances to not only be verbally kick ass, but also physically. "My sex" is a completely not-sexy word and it threw me out of the sexy scenes. Shame.On to the second one, yum.
review 2: I reviewed this for TwoLips Reviews, LLC: Juliet loves her job as a bounty hunter—flash a little cleavage, mix a little ruffie-infused cocktail and bam….she has her man just where she wants him. Out cold and in her brig. Then it’s time to celebrate... more with pie, something she loves as much as her freedom and trashy clothes.Liberating one of King William the Nefarious’ illegal concubines has put sexy alien space ship captain Ragnar on Juliet’s bounty list. While Juliet can’t ignore his noble behavior, she doesn’t trust men. Will Ragnar’s kindness and alluring smile convince her to let him go free?Before Juliet gets a chance to get up close and personal with Ragnar (and his cute tail), they’re captured by the bad guys. Then Ragnar disappears and leaves Juliet in the hands of her disgusting captors. Even worse, William the Nefarious (who now prefers to be called “Bob”), decides to have Juliet become “Concubine of the Night.” Not happy with the dubious nomination, Juliet needs to figure out a way to escape before the king’s mind-altering drug turns her into a sexual slave.While Juliet would rather run away to a beach and have her way with Ragnar, she’ll have to come up with a plan to end her impending sexual slavery. Will Juliet and Ragnar live long enough to succeed?Ragnar and Juliet by Lucy Woodhull is a funny, campy Sci-Fi Space Opera filled with a bounty hunter, a sexy alien with a tail, which works like an extra arm, an even stranger alien co-pilot, a psychotic king, and his crazy minions. While there are a lot of funny one-liners, I was a little disappointed in the romance part of the story, though overall the story is fairly enjoyable. This story might have worked better if it had been longer in length and further developed.Juliet Lawrence loves being a bounty hunter. She loves the freedom, the ability to dress and talk like she wants, and the money she makes. It’s especially fun when the fugitive is a man, who’s easily distracted when she flashes her cleavage and stealthily sneaks a ruffie into his drink, which knocks him out, and then places him in her brig and takes him to collect her bounty. She doesn’t have much use for men except for the occasional sexual partner, which is why she’s surprised by her attraction to Ragnar Manscape, her newest quarry. When she discovers the reason behind his wanted fugitive status, she’s even more intrigued, but still not ready to think of a real relationship. While I liked Juliet’s character, I really felt as if Ms. Woodhull didn’t let us get to know her till the story was almost finished. I liked her sassy spirit but wanted to get to know more about how she became the woman she has become. I also wanted to know why she was so against any kind of relationship.Ragnar Manscape is a humanoid on the run. While he’s suspicious of Juliet’s intentions on their first meeting, he lets her drug him knowing his alien physiology will protect him in the long run. Tall, handsome, and in great shape, he’s got an interesting little addition—a tail which acts like a third arm, which he’s named “Torval”. While at first the tail is a little strange, it does prove to be interesting as the story develops. While I loved Ragnar’s sense of independence and his sassy wit, I really feel like Ms. Woodhull missed a great opportunity with his character. We literally don’t get to know anything about the planet he comes from, his people, his age, or why he’s still single when he’s such a catch. I would really have liked to have gotten to know his character better.The scenes between Juliet and Ragnar are full of snappy dialogue and one-liners; the chemistry between them is pretty obvious. There’s even humor when they take turns drugging and holding each other captive. While their friendship develops, I really didn’t see a romance developing from their interactions and then the story changes course because of their capture by King William the Nefarious’ men.When the secondary characters get involved, things slow down and we meet some rather strange individuals. We meet Pippy, Ragnar’s first mate and co-pilot, who’s a rodent like creature with nimble hands and who apparently comes from Ragnar’s planet. We also meet King William the Nefarious, or “Bob” as he now wants to be called, who in a word is a sexist pig. He’s so vile that I can’t understand why his minions put up with him and haven’t taken him out.Will Juliet and Ragnar be able to escape King William’s palace? And will Juliet discover Ragnar’s secret ability to disappear, courtesy of his alien heritage? You’ll have to read Ragnar and Juliet to find out. less
