review 1: Mattie Abrams has finally found the family she desires, with her friends in the circus, family beyond her pets. When Cirque de Magik decides to take their act into space, becoming the circus of the stars she does not get beyond the spaceship before she is dealing with intergalactic mischief. Luckily she has her animals and her new found mate Jai t’Dubar who believes in forever standing between her and a band of space pirates.Cute short read, you get a lot of action in this one, Mattie and Jai t’Dubar meet, make eyes, and his I must mate imperative kicks in, of course the pirates start making trouble so they are not able to do much about their desire.I have read the other books in the series and you can jump in without reading the rest.The couple did get to know each ot... moreher while Jai t’Dubar took care of Mattie after the pirate attack so no wham bam thank you m’am, the bam came later.Straight to the Swagger: This is a short story but you still get a sci-fi adventure, action and romance with a heroine who has animals who know how to get you out of a tight spot and a hero who will and can woe you after you have been hurt.
review 2: quick enjoyable read that adds more detail and fun to the seriesI love Susan's long novels but also enjoy reading short stories and novellas, especially when they're done well. Rescuing is Susan's second published short story and it is as enjoyable as any of her much longer stories. In less than 70 pages, Mattie and Jai reveal their backgrounds and personalities, meet, fall in love, experience danger more than once, survive, triumph and live happily ever after. Events in Rescuing Mattie closely intertwine with the events of Jo's Journey, Lords of Kassis book 3. Rescuing Mattie could possibly stand alone but reading both stories and the two proceeding stories, River's Run and Star's Storm, increases the involvement and fun.SE Smith is very good at taking secondary characters and creating a desire to see more of them and their story. Jai, Mattie and her dogs (and ferret) are no exception. cross-posted amazon, goodreads, shelfari less
