This was SO FUN!!!! A science fiction romp with an enemies to lovers romance, found family life-on-a-spaceship vibes, an adorable telepathic fox-ferret pet that EVERYONE adores named Luna, a tiny focus on food - basically it was my catnip in every way. OH and a HEIST!!! Look, I literally started clapping at one point about 75% of the way in, that’s how happy this book made me. Do your brain a favor and let this book take you on a space adventure, you will not regret it.

This book does NOT end on ...more

Good classic SF, with aliens with nifty eyes and psionic powers. Our heroes are a loyal starship crew, bonded by the war and how their officers betrayed them, and now, after the war they are hired to do a job on the enemy planet. But there are secrets! And the cute aliens are pretty hot! These teams have to work together, and Mihalik does a great job keeping the plot moving and the relationships building.

Was really enjoying the book until it took more of a romance novel bent. I could have done without the sex scenes. However, I did like the writing style and will read some of the author's other books. ...more

I loved the whole found family aspect of this book, and I'm a sucker for traveling around in a spaceship. The love story was secondary for me. And I enjoyed Luna so much. ...more
