A healthy infusion of action into the romance

I adored the drama and character building of the first two books. However, as a fan of more action oriented books I was left wanting a bit more in the way of swashbuckling and space marines. While Native Stranger remains a period drama with a lot of romance at its heart, there is lots of non-romantic action to be had. Esh really gets a chance to shine in this book, and brings with him several tense moments and slices of action.

The romance is still very much present, including a handful of brilliantly written adult scenes. Intimate, loving sex portrayed so arrousingly is rare. But yeah. Vetaoates were stirred.

There is non-consuesual sex as well. Its handled well and the act itself is not dwelled upon, but be aware it is there.

My only complaint is that this is very much a penultimate book. It is absolutely a build up to the final book, which I started listening to immediately after finishing this one.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
