In the future the Earth is dying and society is divided into the elite who are genetically engineered to perfection and the Underworlders who are not and are left to scramble for survival.

Having left that behind to go out into space Jinnifer "Jinn" Blue is double crossed by her colleague and left behind on the prison station where she encounters Dax. Jinnifer and Dax have history together. Now they have to figure out how to escape with the help of each other.

I bought this as a paper copy Even though this has been on my radar there has been zero promotion actovity for it online.

Its a bit of a gamble but just couldnt resist it when I saw it there on the self.

One of the antagonists ,the colleauge of Jinnifer is depicted as an one-dimensional scumbag with no deeper exploration of his character.
This has turned out to be very hard to get into. Its just very confusing.

The blurb mentions that I would like this book if I liked the Rachel Bach books but since I havent read those its a moot point.It certainly seems as the Publisher is trying to target the same crowd as the covers are very similar.

All I can tell you is that this book did nothing for me.… (meer)

Instead of a leggy self-confident woman the female lead is rather bookish and rather introverted who has a secret. This woman embarks onto a journey by means of a challenge, which is a really unique premise for this book; however, she needs a muse and so begins this little erotic literary marvel.

The characters are well written in this novella and I can truly identify with Amy. I don’t want to give too much away but there are a couple of twists on the way, one of which makes the reader go ‘Ohhhhhh’.

This book has all the right ingredients in the right places. It’s a quick, hot read that I can heartedly recommend.

A short read in on sitting read. But this book could be made so much more. We could investigate the back story of both Jules and Theo.

What we do get is rather delicious and Jules definitely get more than she bargains for. The sex is well described and not too kinky. This book is about a woman finding a place where she can explore her own sexuality without fear of recrimination and in so doing finds her perfect relationship.

The identity of her ‘dream’ lover was pretty obvious though. There were a couple of twists when it came to dealing with the perfect relationship but again this was fairly obvious. These characters present so much potential yet some of they just get fleeting treatment.

As said at the start of this review this reader, in particular, would love to see this novella developed into a full length novel so that more time is given to develop the characters and reveal their history and how they came to be where they were at the point of this story. I would also have loved to learn more about this relationship and how it developed.

Delicious but too short.
