Review: Orion

✩✩✩✩

 

A born geek, Juanita has dreamed of exploring the stars for as long as she can remember. Getting kidnapped by slavers from another planet? Not so much. If she’s lucky, she might be able to convince the hot guy protecting her from the others to help her escape. A bounty hunter allied with the Star Guardians, Orion is undercover on the slavers' ship, plotting to end their kidnapping trips to Earth. He didn’t expect to meet someone as funny, sexy, and determined as Juanita among the victims. He wants to protect her from the thugs molesting her, but that could blow his cover and jeopardize his mission. He must choose between keeping her safe and dooming Earth to be a target for slavers forever.

Review: Orion is book one in the Star Guardians series by Ruby Lionsdrake. It took me a while to get into the story, but after that I had a lot of fun with it - there are a few parts that even made me laugh out loud.

 

 

   

 

But...I had two problems with this book (hence the four stars rating instead of five). One: the romance is a bit over the top (too fast and a bit too mushy for my taste). And two: the epilogue doesn't really bring closure to Juanita and Orion's story and I now feel the need to read the rest of the books in the series - not only because I'm curious about some of the other couples, but also because I'm hoping to hear more about what happened to these two.

Happy readings,
