Fay, Constance

The space opera’s mercantile empire setting creates plenty of rapacious villains and provides endless backdrops for the never-ending chaos, while the madcap romance is perfect for readers of Valerie Valdes, K.B. Wagers, Rachel Bach, or Cat Rambo, this time with elements of Martha Wells’s “Murderbot Diaries” series.

Every single bit as much fun and adventurous as the author’s debut, this sequel offers a terrific enemies-to-lovers romance, an utterly stunning heel-turn betrayal, and a heartfelt story about blending found families and birth families and never assuming that what one sees is anything like the truth. Featuring a well-developed mercantile empire-type space opera setting, this is highly recommended for fans of the space romances of Valerie Valdes, K.B. Wagers, Rachel Bach, and Cat Rambo.

Fay’s debut is highly recommended for fans of pulse-pounding combos of sci-fi with sympathetic characters and melting hearts, like that from Valerie Valdes, K.B. Wagers, Rachel Bach, and Cat Rambo.
