Luck and Nyleenas story was amazing. I’m loving how the over arching plot is unfolding. Yes, it’s sci-fi, but the suspense makes this a worthy read.

Thank you to the author for an ARC of this. I think this one is my favorite of the series. So far, at least!

From page 1, I was pulled right in. It had a lot to do with Luck’s voice. I really enjoyed his chapters, and just his character overall. He was romantic with Nyleena even when she pushed him away. He got frustrated with her during all her annoying moments. I found all his reactions and emotions toward her appropriate in how he tried to get her to love him, but then he too was also human (as human as they are anyway) and reacted to her moments well.

I also enjoyed the story in this one more than the others. In the other books, we watch the couple find each other and then fall in love. This one, they already know each other, know who they are to one another, and still have sex regularily to meet the itch, without bringing feelings into any of it. Basically, what the other books build to, this one already does for the most part. The issue with Nyleena and Luck is that they’re not looking for a relationship. Later on, we see Luck considering how good it would be with her, but she refuses to think like that and uses all chances to push him away. There is no love, emotions, and feelings for much of it. Nyleena runs around the Station looking for ways to get her own sentient ship. This opens up all the doors for the end of the book. Which I will get to shortly. In the meantime, Luck tries to keep her out of trouble, which sparks fights, and thus hate-sex by the schedule. Or as the novel progresses, he is starting to feel things for her and convinces her of such, in which they fight, and hate sex occurs. See the theme?

But it’s okay, because I do promise a HEA for this couple. The other fantastic thing about this book is that it’s basically a turning point for the series. We learn a lot about the ongoing plot in this one thanks to Nyleena’s determination to get her way. Also, a lot more questions are opened up and the next book is set up. So I can’t wait for the next book to see this story unfold.

The one thing I wasn’t loving, was the ending. The Rebellion. I think I’m confused with what is happening and the sides that have been divided. I’m sure it’ll all come together eventually, so I won’t worry too much.

Until Prison Princess, I will be biding my time.

This twisty, sexy thrill ride will keep you guessing...

Schemes, schemes everywhere and no one to unravel them. Or is there. Nyleena is a schemer, a brawler, and causes general chaos. Luck wasn’t ready for a mate, much less this wild child. But together they learn so much about each other, the station, and some of what’s really going on, maybe even fall in love. These two? This book, this series brings you into an amazing “world” full of aliens and sentient bots and AIs with such realism it was like I was in a movie. But the movie is not over yet even as we get some answers I have even more questions and a hunger for the next installment.

This book leaves us with even more question but with a bit more of an understanding of how or why the things that are happening to. And the purpose of the Princess and their colors are starting to make more sense too.

The relationship between Princess Nyleena and Luck reminded me of a song called Beautiful Crazy by Luke Combs. Luck is driven crazy for her and it’s a hate, hate relationship for a long time because she can’t and won’t let go, she also doesn’t trust anyone. He thinks she is mean and she is insane, unpredictable which again she is, and arrogant haha which again she is. But hey she has pretty hair! LMAO. Where the song comes in is once he realizes his feelings well he loves her beautiful crazy and as we learn she is crazy and insane, and, and, and lol. But all of that makes up who she is. I love how she loves; it’s not easy for her so when she does she loves with her whole heart.

I do love that Luck can find something positive in it all. The way they open up to each other is beautiful because they both had to give to let it happen. I love that books like these are not so cut and dry. We see the struggle the emotions and then how it evolves.

I am sucked into this world and I can’t wait for more. I am waiting with bated breath seriously the way this one ends!!! AHHHH

Grabby hands, I need more.
