"...never a dull moment."
Kira Delaney is scared and on the run. When she mistakenly ends up on the Solar Wind, she knows she’s in trouble. The ship’s captain, Zeke Slater, remembers Kira has the young woman who got his friend killed. Not interested in her reasons for being on his ship, and sure they will be nothing but lies, he is determined to drop her off at his next port. However, the longer he’s around Kira, the harder it gets to deny that he’s attracted to her.
With bad guys after the both of them and a conspiracy brewing, it becomes clear to Zeke that he’s temporarily stuck with the woman. When one of Kira’s scrapes lands them in an unwanted marriage, he is bound and determined to get rid of her. There’s just one problem… he isn’t sure that’s really what he wants anymore.
I typically don’t read much in the sci-fi sub-genre, but Solar Wind captured my attention in the first chapter. I found myself reading page after page, anxious to see what happened to Zeke and Kira. The story was fast-paced and packed with action, never a dull moment. From the first few chapters there’s an underlying sexual tension between Kira and Zeke, but as the book moves along the tension becomes more and more noticeable until they finally give in to their desires. The scenes, both action and intimate, are well written. The dialogue is smooth and easy to follow.
While there were a few editing errors, the book came together nicely. She has a writing style that is easy to follow and the sci-fi element is not overpowering as I have found is often the case with this sub-genre. I found the story to be vastly entertaining and would gladly read another of her books in the future.

Book Description for Solar Wind
Privateer meets Stowaway
Outwardly Slater’s a cargo pilot. In reality he's a privateer defending the trade routes. His intergalactic freighter, Solar Wind, appears harmless, yet beneath the ruse lies an advanced warship.
Having escaped from slavery, Kira joined the underground, assisting slaves to freedom. With trouble on her heels, she stows aboard Slater's ship. She’s the last thing he needs and he vows to send her back home. If they only realized their parallel missions.
Slater uncovers a shocking web of greed and betrayal, and is staggered at how close Kira came to dying.
After weeks of close quarters, Slater finally locks-in the coordinates to take Kira home, he’ll have to make the painful decision to either let her go—or risk everything by taking a chance on love.
