Review: The Prince, the Pilot, and the Puppy by Susan Grant

The Prince, the Pilot, and the Puppy

A Novella in The Star Series

By Susan Grant (New York Times/USA TODAY Bestselling, and RITA Award Winning Author)

Trysh joined the Space Forces with the secret hope that her absentee father might notice her accomplishments and acknowledge her. At the top of her game as a starfighter pilot, the last thing she needs is a way too charming prince to get in her way. Trysh had learned at a young age what happened when a person lost their heart to someone above their social class – it led to heartache.

Prince Rornn feels fortunate he can pursue his passion both in the air and on the ground. He decides being third in line for the throne definitely has its advantages – it allowed him to join the Space Forces as a top-gun starfighter pilot. What he doesn’t expect is to find a woman there who not only competes with him – she completes him!

Everything Rornn tries appears to push Trysh further away – that is until they rescue a tiny, starving yipwag pup on the surface of an alien world. It turns out that “Puppy” is as good at sniffing out terrorists as she is at helping her two clueless humans figure out that they need each other as much as they do her.

Can Rornn convince Trysh that he is nothing like her father and that she is just the right woman for him before the terrorists discover their furry little companion?

I absolutely loved this story. It was told by a yipwag which is is like one of our dogs but smarter. He found his way onto a space colony and made friends with two starfighter pilots that are partners One human and one alien but both secretly well not so secretly in lust with each. Trysh the human pilot is determined to keep Rornn at a distance but with Puppy being jointly adopted by them both that becomes impossible. And they quickly fall in love

And when Puppy sniffs out a bomb set by alien hating terrorists they all are hailed as heroes. They have a double celebration for foiling the terrorist plot and their wedding.  

I love this world that Ms Grant has built. If you love scifi romance you need to give these a try and this is a good way to do it. But fair warning you'll be hooked. I read this series long ago and far away and have reread them several times since. And I cannot wait for the next one to come along. I give this one 5 stars. It's short but packs a punch in action and romance.

Review: The Champion of Baresh by Susan Grant

Book 1: Star World Frontier Series

She was playing with fire…
Jemm Aves battles to keep her dreams alive on a dead-end world. Working for the mines by day, she’s a successful bajha player at night, disguised as a male to be allowed to compete in the colony’s dangerous underworld where club owners will go to extremes to retain the best players. Every win puts her one small step closer to her goal: saving enough to escape Barésh with her family. When a nobleman from one of the galaxy’s elite families recruits her to be a star player for his team, it’s because he doesn’t know her secret. Her ruse proves to be her most perilous game yet when it puts both their lives—and her heart—at risk.
Prince Charming he was not…
Prince Klark is eager to reverse his reputation as the black sheep of the Vedla clan, a family as famous for its wealth and power as it is for being a bastion of male-dominated tradition. If his bajha team can win the galactic title, it would go a long way toward restoring the family honor that his misdeeds tarnished. He travels to Barésh to track down an amateur who’s risen to the top of the seedy world of street bajha, offering the commoner a chance of a lifetime: a way off that reeking space rock for good. But his new player comes with a scandalous secret that turns his plans and his beliefs upside down. He sets out to win a very different prize—his champion’s reluctant heart.

Review:

This book is in my favorite genre scifi romance and when I got it I wasn't aware that it was set in the same world as her Star series. I love that series and still them on my keeper shelf. Signed no less. I love Jemm and her whole family. They are a family that fights, loves, and plays together. They are a great family. Klark was so anal at the beginning but I love how he turned out and man the Bajha players on their team are so funny and great. I would like to see more stories and maybe them or Klark sister would be a great story. 

I give this book 4 stars and I was given this via Netgalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.
