About this listen
When Jestine Darnell is rescued from her sabotaged starship by the crew of the Destiny, her only objective was to complete her mission and keep her promise to save a world from slavery. Love was the last thing on her mind. However, she did count on losing her heart to Kerry Marchant, the ship’s second in command, who makes his distrust of her painfully obvious, despite the chemistry between them.
But the completion of her mission has consequences that neither of them could have foreseen. Enter Dahll Tarron, involved in a long and dangerous quest to find the Destiny. Fates become intertwined and perils shared, culminating in the realization that sometimes love may be so close that there is a danger it will not be recognized until it is too late....

This debut science fiction novel is the story of Sira--a woman on the run from the law, from her own people, and from an unknown figure determined to use her for his own ends. Her memory taken from her by a stasis block, she must stay free long enough to regain both her identity and the full use of her telepathic powers. The price of failure may not only be the loss of her own future, but that of her entire race.

When the world was young, and its name was Faerie, the power of magic ruled - and the Elfstones warded the race of Elves and their lands, keeping evil at bay. But when an Elven girl fell hopelessly in love with a Darkling boy of the Void, he carried away more than her heart. Thousands of years later, tumultuous times are upon the world now known as the Four Lands. Users of magic are in conflict with proponents of science. Elves have distanced their society from the other races. The Druid order is threatened.

Beautiful story
Such a thrilling, exciting, adventurous and original tale of deep space travel. There are plenty of battles, aliens, suspense -and romance- to keep you hooked to the very end. The narrator speaks clearly and distinctive. Recommended for those who are Star Trek fans.

A romance novel set in space
If you’re looking for a romance novel that happens to be set in space you will enjoy it thoroughly. There is angst, action, evil villains and mystery. It’s truly great. But, if you’re looking for sci-fi this isn’t for you. I liked the main character but she was always making abrupt, unexplained decisions... not just plot twists but totally out of the blue. Combine that with a breathy narrator and... well not my cup of tea.
I received this book for free.

I was hoping this to be more of a alien romance. This story was a little too slow for me. It was defjnetly a cute romance story but not very galactic like I hoped.
Narration was good but there was a lot of akward pauses.

GREAT READ!
I really enjoyed it! This story is full of suspense, romance and action. The narration is excellent! The author did an excellent job with the character builds and plot. This was my first book by this author but definitely not my last! I look forward to reading more books in this series. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
