A space action romance that has me looking forward to book two.

Polaris Rising (The Consortium Rebellion, #1) by Jessie Mihalik

March 2, 2020 by narfna 6 Comments

I actually liked the plot and the world better than the romance, so, not my fave there. (Alphaholes are not my thing at all.) But I still liked it! This series takes place in the future, an unspecified amount of time from now, in which the Earth was rendered uninhabitable, and the governing of human society has evolved into a Consortium of three powerful families who rule absolutely (and have retaken Earth for rich people, by invitation only).

Thanks, teresaelectro!

December 10, 2019 by narfna 5 Comments

Came home yesterday after work to this happy surprise from teresaelectro. I was planning on reading both of these books in 2020, so now I have them ready to go! And I am *always* on the lookout for new bookmarks because there is a monster in my house that eats them. Thank you so much! This truly is the most wonderful time of the year.
