About the Book:


Captain Qaelan Forster is used to trouble. He lives on the wrong side of the law and he’s on the most-wanted lists. He’s mixed up in his cousin's mess who has problems on a cosmic level—like shape-shifting aliens who want them dead. But Qaelan’s not prepared for the cheeky kind of trouble called Camille Blackstone, whose infamous father has any man interested in his daughter executed.
After Camille drags Qaelan into an impulsive act of rebellion, she finds herself trying to defend the sexy captain from her overprotective father's wrath, even if she has to handcuff herself to the captain to keep him alive. However, it soon becomes apparent there are much more dangerous things lurking in the dark corners of the universe than a vengeful pirate lord. And she's just landed in the middle of it.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


A night in his favourite bar is just what Captain Qaelan Forster needs. A woman enters who makes the whole bar full of pirates go quiet.  He is in no mood to listen when they warn him away from her. 
Camille Blackstone is fed up with everyone's attitude around her.  She knows her father is going to be angry because of her last failure,  so what's one more thing to wind him up. 
This is a Sci-Fi romance that is part of a series.  You could read it on it's own,  but reading the series in order is much better.  There are lots of fabulous characters with unusual personality quirks.  Danger comes from all sides and a trip to the far reaches of the galaxy will bring life changes for more than just our two lead characters. 
I have read all of this series so far and loved every one of them.

War Games (Valiant Knox #4) by Jess Anastasi. Sci-Fi Romance. Release & ARC Review.




Add To


When one of her pilots is shot down behind enemy lines, Lieutenant Theresa Brenner will stop at nothing to save her before she’s captured and tortured, even if it means being part of the dirtside team led by Colonel Cameron McAllister. Bren might respect the way the colonel commands his men, but she’ll never trust Cam—no matter how charming he is—because he was responsible for her brother’s death.

Colonel Cameron McAllister has a covert mission behind enemy lines to team with the Ilari rebels and overthrow the bloodthirsty dictator who’s torn their planet apart. The last thing he needs is to get sidetracked searching for a downed pilot, especially since it means having Lieutenant Theresa Brenner tag along. Not only doesn’t the frosty pilot have the ground game to keep up with his seasoned group, she’s a potential distraction with all those gorgeous blond curls of hers—and she might be just like her brother, whose foolhardiness got his men killed.
 

๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ



Lieutenant Theresa Brenner is the Captain of the Fighter Force (CAFF)  on board the battleship Valiant Knox,  that is in orbit over the war torn planet Ilari.
One of her pilots has gone down behind enemy lines,  so it's rescue time. 
Colonel Cameron McAllister is one of the leaders of the UEF working on the planet to help the locals try and throw off the yoke of their oppressors the CSS.  He has an important meeting to get to in enemy territory.  The last thing he needs is to take along the baby sister of a troublesome solider he lost years ago. 
There is a lot of bad feeling,  and misunderstanding between our characters that will effect everything they do.  They have a very dangerous mission ahead of them.  Lots of emotional moments. 
This is (I think)  the final book in the series.  While you could enjoy this on it's own, it's far better to read the series in order.  All the books are very exciting and action packed.  Once you pick one up you will not want to put it down until the end.

Cover Fire (Valiant Knox #3) by Jess Anastasi. Sci-Fi Romance Release & ARC Review.

He'll protect her with his life...but who will protect his heart?

If the assignment is crazy, dangerous, or a little of both, Sub-Lieutenant Sebastian Rayne can’t help but take on the challenge. So when Command Intelligence tags him to fly one of their agents behind enemy lines, it seems like just another routine death-defying mission. Crash landing on the planet was a piece of cake, but the gorgeous agent he delivered safely to her meeting is now believed dead and he must return to retrieve her body.

After Agent Jenna Maxwell realizes her own people attempted to have her killed, she enlists the hot stick jockey’s help. His new mission? Sneak her back onto his ship to ferret out who wanted to get rid of her and why. But she fears her growing feelings for Seb have blinded her to his reckless insistence on helping her stay alive, and his rash behavior will cause them both to lose their lives.
 

๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ



Sub Lieutenant Sebastian Rayne is a fighter pilot on the Valiant Knox a space station in orbit over a war torn planet.  He has always been the one to take on the risky jobs. 
Taking an agent from Command Intelligence behind enemy lines is exactly what he enjoys. 
CI agent Jenna Maxwell finds this latest task to be a lot more complicated than it should be.  Someone on her own side seems to want her dead. 
This is part of a series that is best read in order,  but you could enjoy it on it's own.  Our hero finds himself well outside his comfort zone.  He is an honest man and the lies that come so naturally from our heroine unnerve him. 
Lots of intrigue and exciting fights.  It's hard to say just who is the real hero in this story because the females involved can really kick ass.  Great fun,  I loved it.

MY REVIEW: 

๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ

The AF Commando Varean Donnelly has been dragged aboard the space ship Imojenna after failing a test to prove he is human.  He didn't destruct like the shape shifting evil aliens do either.  So what is he?  
Dr. Kira Sasaki doesn't like how the prisoner is being treated and does her best to ensure fair treatment.  He will not help himself by cooperating.  He is far too stubborn.  
This is the third book in a series that must be read in order.  The stories each have a staring couple that need to solve their own problems within the main story.  Each member of the crew is special in their own way.  There is a lot of space adventure and danger with a little sex and a lot of self sacrifice.  This didn't end the way I thought it would.  It sets us up nicely for the next book in the series. 
I have read all the books so far and they get better with each one.  I am totally addicted to the series.

MY REVIEW:

๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ

Captain Admiral Sander Graydon's day starts off really badly when someone tries to kill him while he is taking a piss.  It's not going to get any better.  The only highlight is his new assistant.
Lieutenant Marshal Mae  Petros has faked her orders to become the Captain Admiral's assistant . She has an ulterior motive for being there.
When the "accidents" become obviously something else neither of them know who to trust.
We get taken on a wild chase through space with enemies that can shape shift to look exactly like anyone else trying to take all the important places in society.  There are not many people that even know they exist.  How to stop them taking over the universe as our heroes know it will take more than just the two of them.
An exciting Sci-Fi romance that caught me one the first page.  Fast paced and all action, with great characters. It is the second in a series but you can read it on it´s own.
 I loved it.

When the ship Imojenna lands for emergency repairs, Tannin risks everything to escape...only to find himself face to face with the captain's undeniably gorgeous sister. Zahli Sherron isn't planning on turning Tannin in. In fact, she actually believes him. Sure, he's sexy as every kind of sin, but he's no criminal—so she hides him.

MY REVIEW: 

๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ

Tannin Everett has been on the prison planet of Erebus for twelve years, since as a lad of fifteen he was sentenced to life for murder. He has worked his way up to trustee status and a job in the commander's office. When a space ship piloted by a famous war hero has to stop on Erebus for emergency repairs Tannin sees a chance to escape. He must stowaway.
Zahli is on the crew of her brother's ship. She is in charge of getting the supplies. Shopping on a prison planet is not her idea of fun, but they have been assured that the complex is for the officers, not the inmates.
Zahli's brother, Rian, has changed since the war. He is a Moody and dangerous man. He also has a mission to complete, and won't rest until it's done.
This book is an exciting Sci-fi adventure /romance. Our hero is an intelligent man with nothing to lose. Despite his  time on Erebus,  he is also a honourable man. Our heroine is used to dealing with her brother's black moods, and his obsession to wipe out the Reidars . I will let you read the book to find out who they are, and why.  I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

Quantum (Atrophy #2) by Jess Anastasi. Sci-Fi Romance ARC Review.


Someone wants Captain Admiral Zander Graydon dead. Like yesterday. Zander’s convinced his attractive assistant knows more than she’s willing to say, and if he can stop running long enough, he’ll find out exactly what she’s hiding. Lieutenant Marshal Mae Petros is determined to keep her CO safe. Before she tips her hand, however, Mae has to figure out if the alluring man she’s protecting is the real Captain Admiral Graydon. Or an alien shape-shifting imposter.

On the run and no one to trust…not even each other.
