About the book:
Joss Ravid works security for a major tribe on Kari’s Star, but he’ll tell anyone that he doesn’t actually care if the ruling families kill each other off. He’s not interested in politics; he just likes getting paid to hit jerks, and also the many opportunities for hitting on straight men. The Galactic-imposed Interdiction may keep Kari citizens stuck on their war-torn world, but Joss has connections. If the situation gets too messy, he can leave whenever he wants.
Review:
I thought that this was cute. It had characters you really want to like, some variety in their appearance, and enough action to keep things interesting. However, I also thought that the characters, while entertaining, weren’t very deeply written. The HEA romance came out of nowhere and wasn’t well developed. The events were often over-the-top ridiculous, and while it was hinted that Joss had been a member of the Dream crew at some point, I couldn’t figure out where to place him. (For a long time, I thought that with all that beauty, red hair, fair skin, and anti-woman attitude, he might turn out to be Keen from His Faithful Squire, but apparently, he’s just another beautiful, fair-skinned redhead who hates/fears women and worked on the Dream. Who knew they could be so common.)
All in all, a perfectly acceptable piece of entertainment. Recommended for those who would like a clean m/m read (no sex).
