Life aboard a luxury yacht, travelling deep inside safe space, isn't supposed to be exciting, and it's one of the main reasons Tori works on board as a beautician and cocktail waitress. Her growing friendship with Annick, another beautician, is a pleasant bonus.
Then the ship is attacked by pirates, the very last thing she needs, but it soon becomes apparent that if they stand any chance of surviving she will have to dredge up the past she's tried so hard to leave behind.
But even Tori's unique history can't help her sort out what to do when she's caught between the friend she's falling in love with and the pirate captain she's seducing...
J. Hepburn lives with his partner, several kilts, an Irish Wolfhound, two cats, an indeterminate number of wild birds and, sometimes, a passing python. He cares enough about coffee to not only grind his own, but roast it first. This says a lot about him, some of it complimentary. He rides a motorbike because it’s fun, and wishes they’d hurry up with a genetic cure for short sight.
He writes because otherwise the words come out when he’s not expecting them to, and likes to explore any genre with “speculative” in the name. He’s been writing for more than a decade but only submitting for a couple of years, which was a mistake he doesn’t intend to repeat. He thinks romance is more interesting than violence and a lot more morally defensible, not to mention fun.
I think knowing it is a male author helps the expectation going into the read. I enjoyed the game and the character development. There could have been more emotion in the sex but over all I enjoyed the story.

FourandHalfStars This book was unlike anything I have ever read. I absolutely loved it. This book is easy to get into and impossible to put down. Very well written. I like the idea of there being cruise ships in space, its very believable with all we are doing in space now. All the different worlds or planets was a interesting idea. The space pirates I loved once I found out their character and reasoning. Although its a bit out there its extremely believable. I couldn't help but fall in love with the main characters as well as the plot and story line. I was given this in return for an honest review by Inked Rainbow Reads. Amber
