[Eva Millien]

Blurb:

Rebuilding his life. And rediscovering love... Ilari, Brannon System, 2436At first, Dr. Sacha Dalton is simply curious about the prisoner of war admitted to her med-lab...until she sees who it is. For Commander Kai Yang—the commander of the battleship Valiant Knox—has long been thought dead. Killed in action. But after almost a year and half, he's returned home. Returned to her.Kai is recovering from his ordeal and under the watchful care of Sacha, his childhood friend and the widow of his best friend. Only now, their friendship has grown and deepened into something far deeper, and far more complicated. Yet as Kai's body recovers, his psyche remains broken. How could he ever be the man he was, and the man Sacha deserves? But an intergalactic war has a way of forcing a man to be the hero he was always meant to be...

My Review:

They thought he had been killed in action but now he has returned to and been put under the care of his friend Sasha, only Commander Kai Yang doesn’t know that if he can ever be the man he was or the man Sasha deserves in this emotionally gripping sci-fi romance.

Dr. Sasha Dalton has thrown herself into her work since she lost Kai and her husband Elliot one after the other and the reader can’t help but get caught up in the story as Kai returns after escaping from the enemy to find that his feelings for his childhood friend has changed into something more. Their attraction to each other burns hotter that the explosions from the battles but they are both are torn apart emotionally as they struggle with past issues and current issues that have such a stirring and profound effect on their lives. The characters are strong, compelling and capture the heart as they draw the reader in to this steady to fast paced and smooth flowing romance full of suspense, excitement and romance.

The story starts off building spine tingling anticipation and keeps the readers on the edge of their seat throughout as they get to know the characters and want to know their whole story. Exciting action and suspense draws the reader in as well when Kai suspects that the enemies have infiltrated the Valiant Knox but due to what happened to him no one’s sure whether it’s stress related or not. The well written scenes and details capture the imagination and bring the story to life and readers should be prepared for some scenes may inspire tears (if you are like me and get completely immersed in the story).

Jess Anastasi has created a fascinating futuristic sci-fi romance with an interesting setting, intriguing characters and interesting elements to keep readers completely entertained. I couldn’t put the book down until I had read every last word and I can’t wait to see what the author has in store for the people of the Valiant Knox.
