Kamura
“Kam” Shard enjoys her life as a supply runner. She has all
the solitude she wants and the freedom she needs. When
she’s in the mood for some companionship, she stops at a
port to find a willing partner like the dangerous sex god
she spots at a local dive. Kam decides that the blue-eyed
hunk would be just what she needs to take the edge off
before her meeting with her next client, Roen Decks.
Few people
know that part of the reason Roen Decks was once a
successful smuggler was due to his enhanced senses. From
the first moment he sees Kam, his libido goes into
hyperspace, and once he smells how much she wants him,
there’s no turning back. It’s just his bad luck when she
turns out to be his supply runner. She’s also the prime
suspect when his equipment is damaged, placing his mining
operation and workers in jeopardy.
To cover
the costs, Kam makes a deal with Roen to work on the
asteroid where he’s mining uralium, a type of valuable red
ore found on asteroids. Kam finds out that mining is no
picnic in low gravity. In the meantime, she and Roen
struggle to fight their mutual attraction. But it’s way too
late for that.
Dropzone is a spacey vignette carrying heavy weight
characters. Kam and Roen are dynamic, equally sexy, and
wonderfully self-sufficient, whether they’re at work or
play. It was interesting learning about their world through
their eyes.
Fiona Jayde is gifted at writing sci-fi futuristic stories
loaded with tight and clean technical detailing that
enhances the story and setting without overloading the
brain. I’ve wanted to read the Spaceport series for
some time now, and I’m very glad that I started with this
author. |
